First Group of Coast Japs Interned in N.M.

SANTA FE, N.M., March 14. -- (UP) -- The first contingent of Pacific Coast Japanese, numbering about 400, arrived here today and were trucked to a barbed-wire-surrounded former Civilian Conservation Corps camp near Santa Fe for internment for the duration.

The Japanese, who arrived by special train from San Francisco and Los Angeles, silently filed from the train under armed guard as a few curious spectators watched the proceedings.

The camp is in the second in New Mexico housing enemy aliens. More than a year ago 400 seamen of the scuttled German liner Columbus were interned at a C.C.C. camp near Fort Stanton.
