BOY KILLED

The director said that an out
break Of violence at the Manzanar
relocation center in the Owens VAL
ley Of California, where one boy
was killed and several persons in
iured, was due largely to early in
experience on the part of WRA.
He described the incident as an
exception rather than the rule. but
amitted there had been demonstra-
tions IN other centers where peo-
PIE stopped work and held meetings
for a few days
The trouble, he said, was caused
by agitators who promoted the gen.
eral attitude that you are going
back to Japan anyway since they
will now allow you to live in the
United States and when you are
forced to go back to Japan there
will be black mark against VOL,
for collaborating in any way"

No DisIOyalty Of
Released Japs
Noted WRA Head

WASHINGTON, June 16. up
War Relocation Director Dillon S.
Myer, disclosing plans to move 80
600 Japanese Americans out of re-
location centers in 1914, told a
House appropriations subcommittee
in testimony released today, that
about 1000 internees already have
gone on work leaves without one re-
ported case of disloyalty
The record itself is good and we
have no report of sabotage or es-
pionage ON the part of those people
who have gone out" he said.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-06-16
ANSWERS CHARGES

Myer was questioned about
charges by Investigators for the
House committee on un-American
activities that the WRA released
persons trained in a japanese sobo-
tage school and others who are
members of the notorious Black
Dragon society
There has been a great deal of
discussion about the size of the
membership of the Black Dragon
society,"" he said. Il cannot say
how many members there are or as
to whether there was a Black Lrag-
ON society in this country. When
ever we have evidence of people be-
ing members of such organizations.
of course, We are not releasing them
from centers.'
The director said he had never
heard" of the Japanese sabotage
school mentioned by the inVestiga-
tors, AS pure guess he sug-
geSted that the reference was to
japanese who were born in this
country, taken back to Japan at an
early age for academic training. and
later returned. He said he believed
that the charges were based on "a
very CurSory examination" of the
situation.

During the scrap collection drives
last year the rural print shops of
America proved to be a rich source
of essential war materials. On to
the scrap piles went a great variety
of metals-iron, steel, copper, lead
and zinc. There were old engrav-
ings, worn-out type, parts of type
setting machines, brass and iron
printing furniture" even entire
printing presses. Since these old
presses weigh two tons or more and
contain other metals besides iron,
