time of the murder, Mcintosh
said.
Grillo has not been questioned
yet on a number of other murders
in which his old associates. the

The Grillo family picnic was
being held at the farm of Grillo's
nephew, Sam, on Devon road,
three and one-half miles north of
Utica.

arrest if he crosses a state line.
Federal agents received tip that
Grillo would be at the picnic.

mento Thursday by the state council
of defense, which adopted resolu-
ton requesting the government to
set up a supervisory custodianship
of japanese alien farmers in Cali
fornia.
The defense council plan, eX-
planned by State Agriculture Direc-
tor w. J. Cecil, would merely create
system of guardianship for the
japanese, who would be permitted
to carry on their farming opera
tions much as in normal times. 1t
opposed what Cecil described as a
plan by the army to evacuate enc
my aliens, on the ground that
such plan would cause the states
vegetable production to suffer.
Imperial Valley agricultural lead
ers, for the most part, also opposed
the evacuation of Japanese, al
though there were some who favor
ed such harsh measures as removing
valley Japanese aliens from their
farms to concentration camps.

"A. pan that has been under con-

OF alien owned farms and the oper-
alton Of these farms by an agency
of the government. The alien own
ers anti operators would be per-
mitted to occupy their homes, but
would be barred from their fields.
This proposal was said to have
gained in favor after it was re-
ported that a japanese farmer near
Brawley had been literally chased
out of his fields by his Filipino
field workers. This incident was
reported to have occurred some time
Thursday.

December 8. it was officially dis
closed that state and federal au-
thoritieS had seized large quantities
Of arsenic and other poisonous in
secticides from valley Japanese
farmers shortly after war was de-
clared.
1t Was also learned that the Unit
ed States treasury has relaxed pre-
pious stringent regulations govern
ing the funds of japanese nation
ais. Funds of the japanese aliens
we're frozen completely Immediately
after the attack on Pearl Harbor
Since then, however, new rules
issued by the treasury through the
federal reserve bank at San Fran
cisco, permit japanese aliens who
have not been out Of the country
since June II, 1910, to enjoy free
access TO their funds.
Aliens who have been absent
from the United States since that
date, however, are limited to the
amounts they ma withdraw. Aliens
coming within this classification
are allowed 500 per month as liv-
