Loyal Japs to be Released in Spring

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 21.--(AP)--Release of loyal Japanese-Americans from war-relocation centers will be resumed on a large scale in the spring, Ottis Peterson, relocation supervisor for the Intermountain-Pacific region, said today.

Peterson explained that release is retarded now because of winter and overloaded transportation facilities.

There are approximately 84,000 persons of Japanese ancestry in nine W.R.A. camps in seven Western states and 16,000 at Tule Lake, Calif., compared with a peak of 110,000, Peterson reported.
