gan a roundup Of japanese alien
fishermen on Terminal Island III

long range program to remove pos
sible enemy agents from areas
where they might commit sabotage
or espionage.
The Terminal island area lies in
the middle of the Los Angeles har-
Dor and houses the largest colony
OF japanese fishermen in the
United States.

shark fishing industry About 100
boats operate out of Terminal
island, on which are located sew
eral large fish canneries.
