JAP INTERNEES' PAY ATTACKED

By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 15.--Senator Gillette, Democrat, Iowa, said today he might ask the Senate to investigate reports that interned Japanese nationals in this country "are being paid at a higher rate than our soldiers and others in the armed forces."

"I have a number of reports that, if true, would give ample reason for adopting more strict regulations of these interned aliens," the Iowa senator said.

Gillette said that much of his information had come from Kilsoo Haan, Korean, who has been engaged in anti-Japanese activities, in this country and the Hawaiian Islands for several years.

"One report is that Japs now interned were receiving more than $50 monthly compared with $21 monthly going to selectees," the senator said. "Another stated that Japs from California have been interned near the water-supply sources of Los Angeles where it might be easy to cause serious trouble.

"Still another is that in a Jap camp in North Dakota the interned Japs have been holding political meetings attended by Germans from the nearby community. My information is that guards outside the fence around the camp have been kept outside of hearing distance from these political sessions."

The senator said in an interview that interned Japanese were "fed well, clothed well, and have been entertained well" and he was considering offering this proposed four-point program:

1. Place all Japanese, both native and aliens, under United States authority and remove them from all Pacific Coast states.

2. Rescind all civil rights for Japanese in this country and Hawaii for duration of the war.

Farm Draft Urged

3. Draft all Jap males between 20 and 44 years for agricultural work under Army control and at basic Army pay. They might be used to produce vegetables.

4. Support all other alien Japanese with enemy funds now frozen in this country.

"The present frozen funds amount to about $130,000,000, with several hundred millions more that could be liquidated," the senator said.
