DESCRIPTION
Original summary excerpt: Dies Committee Washington hearings held the spotlight this week, clippings mounting from 285 received last week to 325. Coverage was given front page space in nearly all West Coast papers, but was less prominently placed in the East. Witnesses Tokie Slocum, Paul Yozo Abe, Joe Kanazawa, and Mike Masaoka were followed by WRA Director Myer, who scored the Dies group severely on their investigating methods, criticized the release of unverified testimony, and stated the the Committee was fostering "a public feeling of mistrust, suspecion and hatred" and promoting racial antipathy. He told of plans to segregate disloyal from loyal evacuees in the immediate future.
