Tule Lake Japanese Charges Dismissed

EUREKA, Calif., July 22.--(UP)--Judge Louis Goodman today dismissed charges against 26 Japanese interned at the Tule Lake segregation center for failure to report for induction and termed the action "shocking."

In granting a motion to quash the indictments, the judge said the charges were without precedent.

"It is shocking to consider that an American citizen must be confined on grounds of disloyalty and then, while so under duress and restraint, o be compelled to serve in the armed forces or prosecuted for not yielding to such compulsion," he said.
