showed that of THE 105,750 Japs in
the relocation camps, approximately
1850 have asked to be sent back to
Japan, and 4,783 others refused to
swear allegiance to this country.
Approximately 1000 of the evac-
uees in the centers, according to the
reCort, are Americans of Japanese
ancestry, $3.50 of whom are Kebei
educated in Japan, and 65 .320 are
Nisei educated in this country.
Other major recommendations Of
the subcommittee were:
l. That the Japs be drafted 'in the
same manner" as other residents of
the United States.
Recommend Work.
2. That loyal, able bodied Japs be
allowed to work under proper SUPER
vision lin areas where they will be
accepted, and where the Army and
Navy authorities consider it safe
for them to CO."
The War Department, the report
said, has developed satisfactory
methods for screening out bad
japanese, and is not opposed to
the drafting of about 10000 Japa-
nese male citizens of military age.
More than 1000 Jap volunteers are
now serving in the Army in a

in the camps by the WRA and
branded them as "inadequately and

larger percentage of whom have
limited service rating, meaning a
physical disability, over age, or
other limiting service factor, ana
in at least one camp, all arms and
ammunition were stored in a par
racks building, and the guards were
not permitted to bear arms.
The internal security was found
to consist generally of one white
chief with japanese assistants of
undetermined loyalty, and there
was little assurance of Just what
they would do in case of real cmer-

Searches for SALVAGE
In Homes on SUNDAYS
Urged by Committee

The slogan Every Sunday Sal
wage Sunday has been adopted by
the District Salvage Committee in
urging residents to conduct weekly
hunts for salvage materials such as
old beds of brass or iron, lighting
fixtures, discarded metal furniture,
worn-out stoves and radiators,
plumbing fixtures, auto parts and
other items.
Discussing the new slogan, Ex-
ecutive Secretary Horace Walker
said:
Sunday is the one day when
practically every member of the
average family is at home. 1t is the
day when the automobile gets
washed, when household gadgets are
inspected and odds and ends are
rended; the day that father gets
into the attic or basement to find
out what Junior has done with his
tool chest.
I'VE have passed from the policy
Of urging our residents to dispose of
only discarded articles. which have
4 salvageable value, to a policy of
requesting our residents to salvage
every article they can absolutely do
without"
District Short of Quota.
Recalling President Roosevelt's
remark that I'VE shall not stop work
for single day" Mr.. Walker said
participation in the salvage program
should be q distinct part of the
everyday life in every home.
The District fell short of filling
its quota of scrap iron and steel for
the first half of 1943 by collecting
only 73 per cent. New quotas for
the last half of the year have not
been announced, but Secretary
Walker and Chairman James Coli
1ower said Washington's effort must
be intensified.
While salvage committees are
working hare in % areas. there are
II areas in the District which have
no committees or organized program,
Mr.. Walker said, despite urgent ap-
peals for city-wide participation.
The Salvage Committee also an
nounced plans for a special ialopv-
junking drive to end July 81.
Police Cooperation Praised.
In a letter to Capt. Robert c.
Pearce. commanding No. Police
Precinct. Mr.. Walker said. in part;
BY far the largest contributing
factor to the success of the pro-
gram has been the wholehearted
support of the superintendent. the
precinct commanding officers and
members of the Metropolitan Police
Department. Your Government and
this committee are extremely CRATE
ful for this cooperation"
Mr.. Walker listed as potential
sources of jalopies the following:
Private garages, backyards, public
garages and parking lots, automo-
bile dealers and automobile insur
ance and finance companies.
We must get these junked jalopv
cars into production" Mr.. Walker
said. DO not scrap useful vehicle
A car is either transportation or it

Col. PoIetti in Position
To Become SiciIion Governo,

1t Col. Charles Poletti, former
Governor of New York, is in a
position to become military gov
ernor of Sicily after that island at
the toe of the Italian boot is con-
quered by invading Allied forces.
While Gen. Sir Harold Alexander
OF the British Army is military gov
ernor of the island during the in
vasion operations. it is possible that
Col. Poletti will take over after the
campaign has ended.
Possibilities that Gel. Poletti may
become leader in government of
Sicily were based botn on mis- as
signment-to the civi, affairs divi-
sion on Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er's staff-and to The fact that his
parents were born in Italy.
The former Governor of New York,
who succeeded to that post when
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman resigned
to become director of the Office of
Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation,
has made several broadcasts to the
people of Italy urging that they
renounce the regime of Mussolini.
Several months ago Mayor Fiorella
La Guardia of New York City was
reported seeking an army commits
sion and at the time it was as
sumed that If he were commissioned
he would be a logical choice for
military governor in any occupied
Italian territory. The commission

Trained for Months.
Such men have been trained Sc
cretly for months. They were Sc
lected for special qualifications
doctors, lawyers, engineers, police
and civil administrators-fr the
Army or civilian ranks. They were
given language lessons, listened to
lectures by experts on the history,
geography, psychology, customs and
government systems of Italy.
When they went ashore, the
AMGOT officers knew Italy as well
as they knew their own country, or
perhaps better.
AMGOT, jointly organized by
British and American authorities
months before the invasion, was set
up to do a specific task in spe-
ciflc area. Similar schools already
existed such as at Charlottesville,
Va. but they were more generallzed
and more theoretical than this.
Much of the actual planning was
done by a former New York law

ing with experienced World War
occupation authorities. The prob
lem was divided into six general
categories-legal, financial, civilian
supply, public health, public safety
and senior civil affairs. Qualified
men were sought for each division
Three American Leaders.
Three section leaders were British
and three Americans. Each British
section chief had an American
assistant, and vice versa.
In the camp where the men stud
led was a well-known criminal in
vestigator from Yakima, Wash. He
was placed in command of the public
safety section. 1t. Col. A. D. Chan
ler, a former corporation counsel of
New York City, headed the legal
section. 1t. Col. Bernard Bernstein,
former assistant counsel of the
United States Treasury, was chief
assistant to the British officer in
charge of public welfare.
The school where the officers re-
ceived general Italian background
was directed by Maj. Henry Rowell,
professor of classic languages at the
Johns Hopkins University, and for
merly head of the American Acad-
emy in Rome. Some of his pupils in
