W.R.A. Hopes To Free Loyal Nisei in Year

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.--(AP)--About 25,000 Japanese-Americans already have been released from internment, says National Director Dillon S. Myer of the War Relocation Authority, and more than 65,000 others are scheduled for release.

In making the announcement yesterday, Myer said the Japanese-Americans were being released at the rate of 2,000 a month and urged the public to receive them as "trustworthy workers and residents."

Between 6,000 and 7,000 evacuees have been relocated in the New York area, he said.

"We hope to relocate all of the 65,000 to 70,000 who are eligible to leave the centers, in communities throughout the United States during the next year," he added.

"However, that is only a hope. I doubt whether we will be able to persuade all of them to leave."

"Our big job ahead is to persuade the families that they can live outside in safety," Myer declared.

Myer asserted that Japanese-Americans in nine of the ten evacuation centers were not considered dangerous, are not in internment camps in include many loyal first, second and third generation American-born citizens.
