Army Doesln
Yield to Japs

Tule Lake, Nov. 15-lNS-An-
other play for power by Jap ring
leaders at the Tule Lake Segrega-
ton Center ended in defeat today
with Army authorities refusing to
bow TO demands.
A group Of 100 segregees told
Army officers they would not eat
food produced by japanese loyal
to the United States. They threat
ened that unless their demands for
other food were met they would
go on a hunger strike.
The Army. pursuing its announc-
ed policy of not listening to com
mittees. told the Japs it would give
them any food it saw fit.
The Army brought the Jap ra-
tions to the mess malls in commits
sary trucks under armed guard.
They then told the Japs that there
was the food, take il or leave IT,,
and II they didn't take it the Army
would drive it away. The Japs
took II.
The group making the demands
for food not grown at the farm
project adjacent to the camp or
at other segregation centers under
the war relocation authority appar
entity was a new group OF ringlead-
ers who have emerged from the
$1,000 disloyal laps confined at the
camp.
