Word that Navy officials were
surveying the Chastleton Hotel with
q view Of taking it over as a WAVE

to stage a protest meeting In the
hotel dining room.
I'VE have met here in self defense
and desperation to hold the only
home we have" said Lloyd Fletcher,
RFC counsel, who turned up to pre-
side.
The Navy, meanwhile, refused to
confirm or deny the rumo- regard
ing the Chastleton although Navy
official and a Government housing
spokesman admitted several places
had been surveyed to house new
contingents of WAVES.
Starting with the clusters of peo-
pie who had gathered in the lobby
to discuss the possibility of being
thrown out by Christmas" the
meeting grew as word spread through
the hotel. Within Is minutes, it
was standing room only" in the
dining room.
A resident who said she was a
housing agency employe suggested
compiling statistics on how many
vacancies were available in the city.

At Walter Reed General Hospital

There are few, however, who will

The drive closes Friday.
Preston Delano, chairman OF the
Government division, expressed
amazement at the Is per cent failure

half Of the entire total, he .ex.
planned, and failure to collect 1t

quotas Of these departments are In
many cases. low also, Mr.. Delano
continued, making 1T difficult for
him to see why the employees have
failed to meet their goal.
Asks Terrific Effort.S
"The success Of this campaign
depends upon you," Mr.. Delano de-
clared to all his federally-employed
colleagues. Only q realization Of
what failure means in terms of

will save the Government division
from a disappointing show at the
closing meeting Friday. 4f
The campaign has been continued
three weeks into November, past tts

Mfr. Delano went on to compliment
some of the departments on their
fine showing. The Navy Depart
ment, for example, has reached 162
per cent OF quota; Labor Depart
ment, 103 per cent, and White House
Ofice, 131 per cent.
Other Agencies Lag.
In contrast, he said, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation has collected
only % per cent Of its quota. The

gotten A per cent and the Once of
Price Administration, SO per cent.
The Central Administration Services
Division is also low, Mr.. Delano
said, with only e per cent.
TOO much emphasis cannot be
placed on where Community War

clared. He emphasized relief to

'Rioting' al Tu|e|ake
Exaggerated, Official
Investigation Reveals
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Dillon S. Myer, director of the
War Relocation Authority, said
last night that testimony of "al-
most hysterical" guards concern
ing the November IA disturb
ances at the Tule Lake (Calif.)
segregation camp for interned
japanese was at wide rariance
with the facts.
Declaring accurate information
about the incidents is desired to
forestall possible reprisals against
Americans held by the Japanese,
Mr.. Myer said in a statement that
many sensational reports of events
at the relocation center had not
stood up after investigation.
A story that the Japanese sought
to burn the camp administration
building with oil-soaked bales of
straw was not confirmed, he said.
A camp doctor was beaten by Jap
anese internees, Mr.. Myer added,
but the physician, he continued,
acknowledged that he first struck
an internee and would not have
been so roughly treated had he kept
his hands in his pockets"
Only one other member of the
WRA staff was injured in the dis
turbances, Mr.. Myer said.
Slight Property Damage.
The report said property damage
was limited to a broken railing on
the hospital porch, a broken door
handle on a camp automobile and
the theft of two automobile radio
aerials and II windshield wipers.
Air was released from the tires on
several cars, and the paint on two
cars was scratched.
Mr.. Myer estimated that partici-
pants in the rioting numbered ap-
proximately 400 young men, out of
camp population of $4,000.
He said number of the WRA
staff became apprehensive concern
ing their personal safety and a few
became almost hysterical."
-Four major groups of Japanese
held at Tulelake are: % those who
requested repatriation or expatria-
ton to Japan; CD those who re-
fused to state unqualified allegiance
to the United States during regis
tratlon; CD those whose records in
dlcate they might endanger national
security or hamper the war effort:
O close relatives of the above three
groups who chose to remain with the
lnternees rather than sever family
ties.
1nternee Killed in Accident.
Mr.. Myer saio there is evidence
that a small, well-organHed group
OF japanese sought to disrupt or
derly administrative processes at the
camp soon after they arrived.
Against this background of disruptive
effort, a serious accident occurred
at the camp October IS, when a
truck driven by an internee over
turned on the road from the camp
to the WRA farm. The 20 japanese
on the truck were injured, and one
later died.
For 10 days after the accident. no
lnternees reported for farm work,
but the camp was orderly, Mr.. Myer
said. On October Is, a group of
lnternees who claimed to represent
the whole community presented
Camp Director Ray Best with a
series Of demands and were told, Mr..
Myer continued, that WRA does not
operate on the basis of threats.
