F.R. Approves Use Of Japs in Beet Fields

PORTLAND, Or., May 14. -- (AP) -- Oregon Gov. Charles A. Sprague's plan to send Japanese evacuees to the beet fields of Eastern Oregon received White House approval today as 548 Japanese moved from the state to a California assembly center.

The 548, all from Wasco and Hood River Counties, entrained yesterday for an assembly center near Fresno, Calif., and went through Portland as the governor talked by long-distance telephone with President Roosevelt's secretaries in an attempt to obtain permission for use of evacuees in labor-short Malheur County.
