Sakamoto Calls for Faster Registration

Since the Army has ordered evacuation of Japanese from Bainbridge Island by March 30, it is more important than ever that further registration by subchapters of the Seattle Chapter, Japanese-American Citizens' League, be speeded up, James Y. Sakamoto, leader in the Japanese colony and editor of The Japanese-American Courier, said today.

Registration at Winslow on the island and at Bellevue will be conducted as soon as equipment can be set up there.

More than 400 Japanese citizens, exhibiting birth certificates or other proof of American birth, swore an oath of allegiance to the United States and were fingerprinted and photographed yesterday at 513 Main St.
