JAPS TO WORK IN BEET FIELDS

BOISE, Idaho, May 19. -- (AP) -- The first movement of West Coast Japanese into this area to meet a shortage of labor in the sugar beet fields will take place this week, H.A. Benning, president of the Amalgamated Sugar Company, said yesterday.

The first group, he announced, will go to Malheur County in Southeastern Oregon from the Portland area.

In the meantime, Gov. Chase A. Clark forwarded a request to the War Civilian Relocation Authority from sugar beet growers in Bonneville, Madison and Bingham Counties in Idaho for Japanese labor for their fields.
