U.S. LISTS JOBS FOR EVACUEES

Japanese who already have been evacuated from the Pacific Coast area and those who are to be evacuated received the first detailed information today on what will be expected of them at the resettlement camps to which they will be sent.

The War Relocation Authority announced it is planning different types of work opportunities for the 130,000 Japanese who will be removed from present homes, the Associated Press reported. They are:

1.--Public work contributing to the war effort, such as development of land for irrigation.

2.--Production of needed agriculture commodities for subsistence of the evacuees and for sale.

3.--Manufacturing of articles such as camouflage nets, cartridge belts, wood products and other articles required by the military establishment.

4.--Private employment, when and where possible.

No 'Private Pursuits'

The evacuees will not take part in private pursuits for several months, at least not until all have been removed from military areas, according to M.S. Eisenhower, director of the authority. Immediate work opportunities will be on large, supervised public projects.

"It is important," Eisenhower said, "that opportunities are made available for the Japanese to contribute the maximum to needed production."

The whole evacuation problem will be discussed with state and federal officials from ten Western states at Salt Lake City Tuesday.

At the present time only one large resettlement center has been established. That is one at Manzanar in Owens Valley, California, the one to which 237 Japanese from Bainbridge Island were sent. Others have been sent there from the Los Angeles area.

It was explained that assembly centers, such as that being built at the Puyallup Fair Grounds and that to be built at Longacres racetrack, will house the Japanese only until such time as they may be sent to resettlement projects. Some may be held only a day or two, others for as long as three months.

Eisenhower said the resettlement program obviously cannot be handled speedily enough on the basis of hundreds of individual requests for small assembly project and so the Salt Lake conference was called to discuss a larger program.

In Tacoma today, S.S. Blackwell, assistant supervisor of the Farm Security Administration, said there is a possibility of a great influx of Filipino and Mexican labor to the Puyallup Valley and other Puget Sound farm regions as result of Japanese evacuation. He added that the great demand for such labor in California might be the only factor to halt such an immigration.

Blackwell also said the vegetable crop this year will be less than in former years and predicted higher prices this summer.

Registration Continues

Japanese continued to register in California today for removal. Registration date has not been set for the Puget Sound area but is expected to be soon.

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents last night arrested 22 alien Japanese in the San Pedro, Long Beach and Redondo Beach areas. These will be sent to concentration camps for the duration.

Another arrest was that of Miss Fumi Asazuma, 22 years old, a freshman art student at the University of California, who was taken into custody on the campus on a presidential warrant.
