REVOCATION OF JAPS' CITIZENSHIP PROPOSED AT AUBURN MEETING

[Photo caption]: A few of the approximate 250 new members who joined the Remember Pearl Harbor League last night in Auburn, contributing $150 to the organization's expense fund, are shown making their donations. Hundreds protested return of Japs to the White River and Puyallup Valleys.

[Photo caption]: E.D. Phelan stabs the air with a forefinger as he proposes a constitutional amendment to revoke citizenship of all Japs.

[Photo caption]: J.W. Boddy, Coast Guard chief machinist's mate, happily accepted one of the placards urging banishment of Japs from the West Coast. Assigned in Seattle, Boddy's home is in Auburn.

[Photo caption]: W.B. Leber clenched his fist and said returning soldiers would find themselves "outflanked" by Japs who will have resettled in this area.
