When He Fails to
Obey Halt Order

DR.. Larry Adams of Miami, who
failed to stop his car when order
ed to halt. was shot and wounded
in the hip Monday night by an
Army guard patroling the high
way at Florence Junction. Be
cause Japanese evacuees are pick
ing cotton in a nearby area, the
surrounding district is under
guard.
DR.. Adams, who received treat
ment at Florence Hospital, said
he did not stop his car because
he was afraid the soldier was a
holdup men.
Colonel Fred o. Wickersham
said signs reading "Stop-U. S.
Army Examination" were posted
several hundred feet from the
guards.
A warning is issued to all civil
ians leaving, or entering Pinal
County. that soldiers will be stop.
ping cars at various points on the

Japanes in relocation centers in
Arizona to pick cotton, it was stip
ulated that troops would guard the
area. An order to halt cannot be
disregarded without incurring
grave consequences, according to
officials.
