Jap Buildings Will Not Be Torn Down

No demolition of buildings owned by evacuated Japanese is contemplated in Seattle evacuation plans, Mayor Earl Millikin yesterday informed Congressman John H. Tolan, chairman of a committee investigating the migration of Japanese.

The mayor said he received a telegram yesterday from Tolan asking the mayor about the local evacuation situation, and particularly if any demolition was planned.

Millikin said he told Tolan the Federal Reserve Bank and Office of Emergency Management had planned for disposal of Japanese property in an orderly way and there was no talk of demolition of property.
