HIRABAYASHI IN TROUBLE AGAIN

Gordon Hirabayashi, Auburn-born former University of Washington senior, who served a prison-camp sentence for violating Japanese curfew regulations here, was charged today with failure to complete and return a form sent him by Seattle Draft Board No. 4. The paper is entitled "The Statement of United States Citizen of Japanese Ancestry."

Hirabayashi, who is working in Spokane with the American Friends Service Committee, and attempting to assist in relocation plans for the Japanese, will be brought to Seattle to face the charges, according to Allen Pomeroy, assistant United States Attorney, who authorized the complaint.

When the Japanese youth received the questionnaire last February 15, he wrote Charles Dennis, United States attorney, that he would not fill out the form because it "is an outright violation of both the Christian and American principles of justice and democracy."

Pomeroy said he had urged Hirabayashi to comply with the regulation.

United States District Judge Lloyd L. Black sentenced Hirabayashi to three months imprisonment after his conviction a year ago last October. He served the sentence last fall in a prison camp near Tucson, Ariz., after his conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States last June.
