DESCRIPTION

Original summary excerpt: The Dies Committee investigation continued as most important news source. Statements by various committee representatives and reports of hearings at which former and present Colorado River officials testified received prominent play, particularly in West Coast papers, although the press in other areas also carried wire service dispatches. New accusations reported included one that WRA had tried to "censor" the Committee by offering to send a representative to testify at the Los Angeles hearings. The testimony of three former WRA employees, as reported in the newspapers, was distinctly biased against the administration and the evacuees and contained some patently false statements. Dies Committee spokesmen charged that the Japanese American Citizens League was a "radical organization."
