to surrender short wave radios
cameras and firearms, has been the
establishment of prohibited zones
around defense industries and mill
tary establishments. But that hasn't
resulted in the aliens going so far
away that they couldn't return
quickly.
For example, the San Francisco
waterfront, one of Americas busiest
harbors, forms one of these zones
Only some 20 Japanese aliens lived
in the area and had to get out. But
not far away Is Little Tokyo" CEN
tering around Post and Fillmore
streets, where 2,276 Japanese aliens
live.
For the most part, the prohibited
Arrears are in the immediate vicinity
of important military points. For
the most part they are comparative
ly small, the largest being zone
of Los Angeles covering 80 square
miles in which are the municipal
airport, airplane factories, and the
waterfront. A few small industrial
cities lie entirely within the zones
Largest Zone
The largest zone in point of aliens
includes portions of Monterey and
Santa Cruz counties in which 2,lOC
persons must leave. The next is Los
Angeles, with 1900; then the Ore
gon areas, 1000; Contra Costa coun-
ty, 789; Santa Monica, 600; Solanc
county, 583. In some areas in Wash
ington, there were no enemy aliens
at all. In ali 1000 adults were af-
fected by the zones and they repre-
sent only 10 per cent of the enemy
aliens living in the coast states.
In addition strip of the Califor-
mia coast running northward from
San Luis Obispo county to the Ore
gon border, ranging inland from Is
to $50 miles, has been made a cur
few zone. In that area, resident
enemy aliens must be in their homes
by 9 p. m. and must not leave be-
fore a. m. Presumably, this was
designed to prevent signaling to
ships at sea.
lit IItOoU vi dSUlC dCUlOll was OdhCAl
at Terminal Island, in Los Angeles
Harbor, site of an important naval
base. Approximately 1000 japanese
fishermen and their families lived

large numbers of second generation

Martial Law
A declaration of martial law COW
ering most if not all the western
states has been suggested by Wes1
Coast congressman and others. Mar
tial law supersedes constitutional
law. Gov. Culbert Olson of Califor-
mia said recently that plans were
being considered for the removal OF
both Japanese aliens and citizens tc
the interior. Thomas c. Clark, alie1,
co-ordinator for the western de-
Tense zone, said he favored martial
law if it were necessary. Comment
ing on the statement of a neWspa-
per columnist that the west coast
already had an organized fifth col
umn which had been known to Sig
nal to ships at sea, he said:
1.-THE article grossly eXaggerates
the facts. If we were In such danger
as he suggests and the people be-
lieved it, California would be state

from battle field. am sure the
generals will agree with me-"

SURRENDER their short wave radios,
cameras, and firearms, those among
them considered dangerous have
been arrested and interned, and the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation is
seeing that none escapes the regula-
tons.
The survey was undertaken be-
cause of growing fears, both here
and elsewhere in the country, that
a fifth column of enemy aliens, par
ticularly japanese, might be able to
cooperate with a Sea-borne attack
on the coast. That a fifth column
could prepare for an invasion, sig
nal the invading forces from the
shore, and otherwise make possible
an invasion, as a fifth column did
In Norway, has also been suggested.
The fear has been particularly
widespread in California where city
councils, city defense units, veterans
organizations, and various business
groups have demanded drastic
safeguards, even the complete evac-
uation of all Japanese, aliens and
citizens alike, to areas hundreds of
miles inland.
10000 Aliens There
There are 10000 enemy aliens in

department, who will be assistants to
Col. Darrell.
The eight big warehouses are $50
feet long and l8l feet wide. They
will provide nearly a million and a
half square feet Of inside storage,
with nearly twice that amount Of
outside storage, with facilities avail
able for doubling the latter If need
ed.
The unit contains thiKty-odd miles
of railroad track with facilities for
handling a total of about $50 cars
of freight. No information was given
as to what the freight will consist Of
but the Colonel stated that this
point" was somewhat different
from regular supply depot which
handled only those articles required
by the soldiers. Shipments will be
received in straight carloads and re-
shipped to embarkation points ex-
actly as received.
About IS army officers will be re-
quired to operate the plant the
speaker said, with five or six hun
dred civil service employees. How to
