MASS JAPANESE REMOVAL BEGUN

DENVER, Aug. 8. -- (UP) -- The first trainload of an eventual mass migration of 10,000 West Coast Japanese were en route to their new inland homes at the Heart Mountain relocation center near Cody today -- ready to establish what will become Wyoming's fifth largest town.

The first Japanese will arrive at Heart Mountain Tuesday from the Puyallup Assembly Center in Washington.

Built on the barren foothills at the familiar east gate of Yellowstone National Park, the camp offers 19 blocks of apartment-type barracks where Japanese families -- citizens and aliens alike -- will form their own community and stay under government supervision for the rest of the war.

But it will be no concentration camp such as the Axis nations maintain for citizens of the United Nations, according to Joseph H. Smart, regional chief of the War Relocation Authority.

The Japanese will have their own City Council and will select their own mayor. They will set up and operate their own Fire Department. Doctors will be Japanese, with the exception of the chief medical authority.

There will be stores, barber shops, beauty parlors and recreational centers, all operated by the Japanese themselves. Such sports as baseball and wrestling will be encouraged.

Schools will be operated 12 months a year in the center to continue the American education of the Japanese children. Most of the teachers, Smart said, will be Americans "but full use of any competent Japanese teachers available will be made."
