SAN FRANCISCO, March 8
-(R-The Army. preparing to
evacuate 100000 Japanese and
others from Pacific coast mil
itary areas, disclosed plans for
establishing tw' main reception
centers In sparsely-settled por-
tions of Southeastern California.
One center will be in the
Owens River valley, east OF the
Sierra Nevada, and some 27O
miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The other will be on the eastern
fringe of the California desert,
In the Parker Damblythe district
alongside the Colorado River.
Lieut.. General J. L. Dewitt,
of the Western Defense COM
mand and Fourth Army, said the
centers would be sent up for "the
processing and organizing OF
thousands of aliens and others
to be excluded from military
areas"
TO REGISTER EvACUEES
General DeWitt's civilian aide
on alien control, Tom c. Clark,
elaborated that the evacuees
would be registered at the CEN
tiers and their capabilities de-
termined before they were re-
settled to other locations for the
duration of the war. Some may
stay at the processing stations.
Clark indicated that no more
than 10000 persons would be
retained At center a. any one
time.
The Army's plan to move Jap
anese to the Owens River val
ley drew criticism even before
it was announced. Mayor Flet-
cher Bowron of Los Angeles
termed any such move "a seri-
Gus thing for the city"

THE only two sections which
seem to have escaped crippling
damage" the ministry said, ARE
the tire manufacturing shop,
which was not in the target area,
and the diesel engine assembly

EUGENE, Ore. - Who says
the spirit of the old West is
dead?
You can be sure it's very
much alive along the Pacific
coast region of Lane County,
Oregon. That's where several
hundred men recently "mobiliz-
ed" to give any possible invad-
ing japanese q taste of good old
American "Injun fightin."
ORGANIZED AFTER
WAR DECLARATION
Armed with q variety of
weapons ranging from squirrel
guns to old 40-82's (Which will
knock over q 900-pound elk +,
they call themselves the "Siu-
slaw Rifles" The organization
sprang into action the second
night Of the war, when q Coast
Guard warning advised civilian
defense leaders to be on the
alert for q possible japanese
parachute attack.
Some 200 armed men hastily
gathered and patrolled high
ways, tunnels and sections of
the beach. The Siuslaw Rifles
can now muster about 500 men,
who can assemble from every
valley and inlet along the coast
in less than an hour, and the
group Ii the only authorized
armed civilian defense outfit in
the country.
These modern Minute Men"
aren't fooling. Trained in the
ways of the woods, crack shots
with their own favorite guns,
they stand ready to harrass and
hinder any invading force, un-
til regular army troops arrive.
The Siuslaw Rifles have
chosen officers, organized loose
ly along military lines, and map
ped plans for defense of their
part of the Pacific coastline.
Lumberjacks, woodcutters, fish
ermen, resort owners and farm
ers make up the group.
They are almost all familiar
with the rough terrain, the
dense pine forests and the back
woods roads used for logging
and hunting, and many of them
are descendants of pioneers who
were mustered in" every 50
often back in the 1850's to fight
Indians in southern Oregon.
REHEARSlNG FOR
ENEMY INVASION
While they await possible de-
velopments, plans for mobiliza-
ton are being perfected, prob
lens of supplying ammunition
to the many types of guns are
being studied, and members of

 Miss Tuminia was 20 at the time. In the next few years she sang with the Cincinnati and Chicago opera before coming to the Met. which makes her the youngest diva ever to have accomplished the feat of ap- bearing with all four. She has never played a minor role, either.
 Miss Tuminia turned down a mo- vie contract because it would have kept her off the radio, a field for which she has particular affection At the moment she sings on the Treasure Hour of Song program.
 She is unmarried, does lot of her own cooking Gtalian cuisine) and is crazy about sports, including poker. She is the only American woman to hold the Yugoslavian dec- oration of San Caba (for her con- certs there) and she has sung in South America, too.

 STIMSON CAN TAKE IT
 One of the Merry Go Founders has known Secretary Stimson long time, dating back to the Coolidge and Hoover Administra- ton. And a few months ago, MT. Stimson remarked to his then mili- tary aide, Colonel Eugene Reg nier:
 "What's the matter with Drew these days: Is he getting soft? Or is he getting old: He hasn't criticized us lately. That acid pen of his used to do us lot of good"
 Secretary StimsOn, it should be noted. is not getting soft. He is 75 years old, of course, and not as strong as he was. He has to conserve bis energy. but is put ting every ounce of it into his tough job of Secretary of War.
 Recently StimSon asked a Sen- ate commi tee not to harass him with questions, that he was worn out, that though he went to bed at 9 o'clock, he couldn't sleep because of worry.
 Several times, MT. Stimson has indicated to the President that it might be best for him to step out in favor of a younger man. He was little reluctant to take the appointment when 1t was of fered to nim in the first place. But the President insisted, and Stimson until the end will be a good soldier.
 Buth much as his wholesome influence will be missed in Wash- ington, we think MT. Stimson will increase his already great stature If he paves the way for other bad ly needed Cabinet departures and insists that the President accept his resignation.
 Another in the series on ''The Four Old Men" will follow sOOn.)

The idea that something must be wrong with opera arose spontane- ously from getting the full impact of Miss Tuminia's eyes plus a toute ensemble that caused the boys in the city room to split infinitives and hang participles. Here it is: why don't more opera stars look like Miss Tuminia?
 Like Sports, Pinochle
 She is not fortyish, nor does an architectural creation hold her tor so in shape. She has only one chin, a new low record for the Metropoli- tan Opera House, where she graces such works as the Barber of Se- vxille," "Rigoletto" and Lucia" She does the rhumba and the ccnga and the St. Louis Hop Ca 'midWestern version of the Lindy) and she likes swing music.
 There are a couple of other pret- ty singers at the Met, but it might be well to standardize the rest along Miss Tuminia's lines and some lines.
 Miss Tuminia has another dis tinction besides being sports fan and good pinochle player. She called her shot in opera.
 Tt happened" she said. Tn San Francisco when they were building the opera house. I passed by with q friend and I said. Some day I will make my debut there-but in a leading role" About three years la ter I met Gaetano Merolo, the di- rector, and began to bother him for a chance to sing.
 T was always crazy about opera, went to my first when I was four years old And I used to hang around backstage getting auto graphs and trying to talk to the singers. One day Merolo called me over and asked me to addition. I sang an aria, he nodded and told me he would let me know
 Later he sent for me again. They were going to have a performance of the Barber with Pinza, Schipa and Bonelli, from the Met. Merolo
