10,000 in California To Get Ouster Orders

SAN FRANCISCO, Saturday, Feb. 7.--(UP)--Approximately 10,000 enemy aliens in California will begin receiving notices from the federal government Monday that they must evacuate prohibited zones this month.

The removal orders become effective in 89 areas February 15 and in 28 areas, including the San Francisco waterfront and the Los Angeles shoreline and airport areas, February 24.

Federal assistance will be provided Japanese, German and Italian nationals who are forced to move but have insufficient funds to obtain transportation to their destinations. Employment offices will assist in finding jobs for evacuated aliens.
