DESCRIPTION

Original summary excerpt: Segregation was the greatest source of news this week. The many news stories on President Roosevelt's letter to the Senate regarding the segregation program, surprisingly enough, carried no headlines on his statement that evacuees would be returned to evacuated areas as soon as military conditions made it feasible. The editor of the S.F. EXAMINER, however, commented that this statement, following so closely on the transfer of Gen. DeWitt from his post as commander of the Western Defense Command, implied a gradual easing of the present restrictions. The Milwaukee JOURNAL, carrying the only editorial received thus far on the President's letter and accompanying report by OWM Director Byrnes, termes them "sound Americanism".
