JAPANESE, ARMS TAKEN ON VASHON

Two alien Japanese and one German were arrested and a quantity of small arms, cameras and dynamite caps were seized in an all-day search of Vashon Island yesterday by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Armed with search warrants issued by the United States attorney's office, the "G-men" searched the homes of all known aliens residing on the island. Deputies of the King County sheriff's office aided in the search.

Names of the three aliens arrested were not revealed. They were held in the detention quarters of the U.S. Immigration Station here.
