MOVING 5,000 S.F. JAPS BEGINS

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. -- (AP) -- Compulsory evacuation of Japanese from San Francisco begins this afternoon with the departure of 660 persons for the Santa Anita race track in Southern California, which has been turned into an assembly center.

Those leaving today, first of an estimated 5,000 to be removed from San Francisco in a continuing evacuation process, have been living in the western and northern waterfront districts of San Francisco.

Family units will have family accommodations for the trip, and later will be kept together at the Owens Valley reception center at Manzanar, or at whatever place they are taken upon being transferred from Santa Anita.

Meantime, Japanese in Long Beach and San Pedro continued to arrive at the Santa Anita center, bringing the total there to more than 2,500. In San Diego, 1,225 Japanese were registered, preparatory to evacuations this week.
