Returning Japs to Coast Discussed

WASHINGTON, April 22.--(AP)--Leonard Read, general manager of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, said today he had discussed with Assistant Secretary of War McCloy the question of returning Japanese in relocation camps to West Coast cities.

Read told reporters the discussion was an informative one and did "not necessarily mean that we are protesting such action." No commitments were made, he added.

Frank P. Doherty, president of the Los Angeles chamber, is expected to join Read here next week in further conferences.
