DESCRIPTION

Original summary excerpt: Reports of a farm strike at the Tule Lake segregation center were the greatest source of news this week. It was stated that residents of the area were demanding protection against the Japanese as the result of a local rancher's statement that he and members of the WRA staff, including the National Director, were held prisoners in the center's Administration building for four hours by 8,000 segregees. Director Myer denied this statement and said there had been no rioting. Project Director Raymond Best asserted the evacuees had "gathered to hear Mr. Myer speak and disband peacefully after presenting several requests."
