Japs Hid No Food, Says Camp Director

CODY, Wyo., June 18.--(AP)--Director Guy Robertson of the Heart Mountain relocation center asserted today that there had been food in camp building attics, but it was merely in storage and not in hiding.

The director also declared that there was "no evidence" that camp food supplies had been traded by Japanese residents for liquor and chickens.

Robertson's remarks were made in a statement answering testimony before a Dies congressional subcommittee in Los Angeles by Earl A. Best, former Heart Mountain employe.
