Japanese-Americans Accepted by Army

WASHINGTON, March 17.--(AP)--A number of Japanese-Americans from the ten relocation centers already have been approved by the War Department as volunteers for the Army combat team to be composed entirely of American citizens of Japanese ancestry, officials disclosed today.

Induction of these men into the Army may have started, they said, but there are no reports yet that any of them actually are in uniform. However, large numbers have applied for service with the combat team and the applications are being reviewed as rapidly as possible.
