Original summary excerpts: News reports of the military service of nisei, which have constituted an ever expanding section of the Review since the War Department's announcement in January of the induction of Japanese-Americans, has become the largest source of WRA news this week. Although there were scattered favorable reports on the good records of members of the 100th Battalion, including a report that Purple Heart awards had been given to the families of 58 Honolulu nisei who were killed in Italy, the larger proportion were on the unfavorable instances of refusal of some Japanese-Americans to be inducted or take military training.
