Hood River Quiet As First Japs Return

HOOD RIVER, Or., Jan. 13.--Little notice was apparent today in the Hood River Valley at the return of three Japanese Americans to their former homes, in spite of American Legion efforts to organize a "citizens' committee" to oppose their return.

Ray Sato, Sat Noji and Min Asai arrived by train from undesignated sections of the country, except Sato, who had been working in a war plant in Cleveland. The three were the first to return here under the recent order by the Western Defense Command permitting such rehabilitation.
