Bullets Hit Home of Japanese Couple

FRESNO, Calif., May 21. -- (AP) -- Deputy Sheriffs today sought persons who fired four rifle bullets into the wall of a bedroom occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Masaru Miyamoto, recently returned Japanese evacuees, and their two small children, in their home on a 75-acre vineyard east of near-by Selma early yesterday.

Deputy Sheriff Hubert Nevins said two of the bullets narrowly missed Mrs. Miyamoto. Miyamoto, who returned to the Selma district from the Gila River Relocation Center in Arizona last March, said his old neighbors have been friendly, and could assign no reason for the attack.
