Japanese Boy In U.S. Army, Mother Happy

A Japanese mother, Mrs. Genji Mihara, 423 Tenth Ave. S., whose husband is in a United States concentration camp as an enemy alien, declared today that she is "very happy" that her 18-year-old son has joined the United States Army.

The son is George Mihara, former Broadway High School student, who tried vainly to get into the Army Air Corps before he was accepted for other duties by the Army.

George's father, Genji Mihara, is interned in Missoula, Mont. He operated a restaurant here for 30 years.
