Association today asked for imme-
diate internment Of all enemy aliens
in Arizona. California. Oregon and
Washington to forestall violence be-
tween Japanese and Filipino produce
farm labor on the Pacific Coast.
The association adopted q reso-
luton which also called on the
Treasury Department to impound
all funds and business properties
owned by the aliens in the West
Coast States.
I'VE feel that. unless such steps
are taken promptly and effectively,
the efforts Of State and local lay
enforcement officers to maintain
peace and order may be unavatling.
which would undoubtedly react un-
favorably toward our own nationals
who are now interned in Axis coun-
tries" the resolution said.
Because no more than 10 per cent
Of fresh fruits and vegetables ship
ped in interstate commerce from
the four States mentioned are pro-
duced by Japanese or other alien
enemies, such internment will not
jeopardize in any way the essential
food supply Of the United States"

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 22-The Ma
tion's racing commissioners urged
today that the sport Of kings be
continued for the duration Of the
war as q morale measure and as .
means of providing employment for
thousands of people who could do
nothing else
As the National Association Of
State Racing Commissioners opened
its first wartime convention here
President Beverley Broun of West
Virginia declared racing as q sport
means much to hundreds Of thou
sands who have no other recreation,
and We sincerely believe the con-
tinuance of the various meetings
will be . real contribution to ma
tional morale"
THE closing of Santa Anita track
was perfectly justified, Of course"
he added, even though 1t meant
the loss Of employment to some ! 200
people who could do nothing else
because they had no knowledge of
anything except racing. But we do
believe that since racing has such
definite recreational value 1t can
be continued despite the war.
We are cooperating with the
defense effort to the fullest extent
and naturally If the Army asks us
to call OF any particular meeting
it will be called OF instantly and
with . cheerful spirit"
D. Walker Wear, senior member
Of the New York State Athletic
Commission, said he believed racing
would be continued unless there was
great change In the situation"
II believe the Santa Anita track
will be reopened as soon as the Army
can see its way clear" he said. But
agree with Mr.. Broun that its
closing was justified at the time"
From Milo Vega, youthful secre-
tary Of the Florida Racing Commits
sion, came the suggestion that
actually racing's slogan at this
time should be four Rs-racing Is
revenue-rasin relaxation"
