HUNT, Ida., Wednesday, June 16--The N.Y.A. training schools in the East and the Mid-West have discontinued the vocational training of Japanese-Americans. Those who were attending up to now were released without explanation.

This ruling affects a few Bainbridge Island youths who went to Chicago and had planned to enter the N.Y.A. Schools in the fall term.
