'Disturbance' Is Reported At Jap Camp

POSTON, Ariz., Nov. 20. -- (AP) -- A "disturbance" occurred today at the Japanese relocation center here, Norris James, press and intelligence officer for the War Relocation Authority, announced.

James said there was no loss of life nor damage to property. He said a statement would be issued by Wade Head, director of the center, later and that no details could be disclosed until that time.

James declared the situation was completely under control.

The Poston center, on the Colorado River Indian Reservation, about 25 miles south of Parker, is occupied by approximately 20,000 Japanese evacuated from the Pacific Coast.
