Japs' Refusal Of Farm Work Probed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. -- (AP) -- Representative Pierce, Democrat, Oregon, said today the War Relocation Authority had agreed to make an immediate investigation of the Tule Lake, Calif., Japanese relocation camp to determine the accuracy of reports that aliens there were persuading American-born Japanese in the camp to refuse to accept farm work in the neighborhood.

Pierce, who is in Oregon, said residents of nearby Klamath Falls contended that conditions were bad in the camp because of agitation by the aliens and had asked the investigation.
