Boy Scouts Defy
Mob to Save FIuq
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MANzANAR. Calf, Dec. 10
Fourteen Japanese American Boy
Scouts defied a mob of pro-Axis
sympathizers attempting to seize the
American flag during the fatal riot
at the Manzanar relocation center
last Sunday, Ralph p Merritt, CEN
ter director, related yesterday.
One man was killed and eight in
jured when soldiers fired into the
rioters after repeated warnings to
stop advancing were ignored. The
rioters were attempting to celebrate
the Pearl Harbor anniversary.
Mr.. Merritt said the administra-
ton building flagpole was near the
area where the mob formed.
"One of the pro-AXis sympa-
thizers,' he continued, started for
the flagpole to haul down the flag
The Boy Scouts surrounded the base
of the f1agpole. They had armed
themselves with stones the size OF
baseballs. They defied the agitators
or the whole mob to touch the flag.
And the flag was not hauled down" :"
Mr.. Merritt did not say whether
