PROBE OF POLICY ON JAPS ASKED

WASHINGTON, May 5.--(AP)--Representative Anderson, Republican, California, today asked Congress to investigate Japanese problems confronting Pacific Coast states.

Representatives from the West Coast states, Anderson said in a speech, believed the new policy of the War Department, allowing American soldiers of Japanese ancestry to return to coastal regions when on leave or furlough, had been forced on the department by civilian agencies.

"The problem is critical and will become more so," Anderson warned, "and I fear serious racial troubles if any attempt is made to move the Japanese back to the Pacific Coast states when the war is terminated."

Urged speedy consideration of a resolution introduced by Representative Jackson, Democrat, Washington, authorizing an investigation of the Japanese problem, Anderson declared: "Congress should take definite steps now to thoroughly investigate this entire problem."
