PRESIDENT NOT TO FORCE
JAPANESE IN SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON. December 5.-The Cali
fornia delegation in Congress has received
what they consider satisfactory assur-
ance that the President did not desire TO
be understood as saying in the Japanese
section OF his message that ne would use
the military force Of the United States
IN forcing japanese into the California
schools, in which white children are
taught. II is said to have been. his pur-
pose to convey the idea that ne would
use the military TO protect japanese
against mob violence. Californians take
no onense at this Interpretation of the
message, and agree that the chief exectl-
tive should do everything in his power
10 protect japanese. as we'll as all other

Major L. J. Cheatwood. Captain w. A.

ranking officers OF the Richmond Light

again.
The designations arc in the hands OF

first submitted their designations to the

1t was said last night that if an three
