JAPS TO ENLIST IN WORK CORPS

WASHINGTON, May 15. -- (AP) -- The War Relocation Authority is organizing a voluntary work corps among Japanese men and women ordered removed from Western military areas.

Some 75,000 Japanese will be offered a chance to enlist in the corps for agricultural, construction, irrigation and other projects in the relocation areas. Upon enlistment, each worker must swear loyalty to the United States and agree to serve through the war and 14 days thereafter and to perform such tasks as they may be assigned.

The authority expects relocated Japanese communities to become self-sufficient in food products throughout the work corps. Small cash payments will be made to workers but they will not exceed the pay of Army privates.

Arrangements also are contemplated to permit work corps enlistees to obtain furloughs for specific periods to accept private employment outside the relocation areas, under terms set forth by the War Department and Relocation Authority.

Five relocation centers, capable of accommodating 60,000 evacuees, have been approved by the W.R.A., and another 10 or more areas, with an additional capacity of 50,000 to 60,000, are being selected.

Centers already approved are Manzanar, in Owens Valley, Calif., Parker, in Southwestern Arizona, Tule Lake in Northern California, Gila, in Southern Arizona, and Minidoka in Southern Idaho.
