camp employees under siege and
threat of death for a week during
riots there last November, H. H.
Townsend, former camp supply Of
ficer told q Dies subcommittee.
The Japanese held control of the
camp and the riots continued be-
cause the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, the U. S. Indian Service
and the war department would not
assume responsibility, Townsend
testified.
The Japanese sang their national
anthem, pulled down the American
flag, cursed it and the government,
and seized complete control from
the camp administration, Townsend
said, while a force of military police
adjacent to the camp could not OBJ
tain authority to cross the road to
quell the disturbances.
FENCE TORN DOWN.
Townsend said a fence was con-
structed around the camp on
orders of the war department, but
the japanese tore it down. He
estimated the cost of the fence at
100000. There were more than
1000 Japanese soldiers and officers
in the camp, Townsend said, and
they had stolen and stored IN
secret caches about the camp more
than 100000 worth of food. Loyal
Japanese told him the food was
stored in anticipation of the arrival
OF an invading army, he said.

Chief of Police Guy Echols
declared Friday that he be-
lieved Calexico High school
boys wrecked the CaleXico
Tennis club recreation center last
Saturday night in one of the most
appalling examples of vandalism
ever perpetrated in this border
community.
THE Pachucos or the zoot suffers
should not be blamed for this out
rage" the veteran Calexico police
officer said. Il believe they were
not in on it. I believe the place was
wrecked b. an unruly group of high
school boys who have been causing
trouble in the community. These
unruly boys are mad about every
thing and are products of the great
wave of juvenile unrest which has
swept the country"
NOT SAME GROUP
Il admit that some of the high
school boys behave somewhat like
Pachucos or zoot suffers but I dc
not believe the group which wrecked
the club belong to that group so
active in the Los Angeles area. :"
Chief EchCls said he feared that
the organization of vigilanteS to
cope with the problem would be a
dangerous one for the community
but he said he welcomed the assist
ance of auxiliary police already or
ganized. He said the auxiliary police
could be trained to be of genuine
assistance to CaleXico'S small police
department which does not have
sufficient men to patrol the city
satisfactorily.

Under the proposed refundlng
plan, taxpayers of the district would
save at least $3529,000 in interest
on outstanding bonds and warrants.
SOUND BASIS
The district is able to set up a
refunding plan that will bring about
such a saving as a result OF the
sound basis upon which the dlrec-
tors have operated in recent years.
In reviewing the districts flnan-
cial history in the past decade Fri
day HeWes pointed out that in 1888
voters approved the All American
Canal at a cost of 100000 as
we'll as the 1882 refunding plan
which would have cost SAL 100000,
making a total indebtedness OF
S66, 100000 in principal and inter-
est.
AS a result of continued effort by
the directors, with the support OF
district voters, the plan of modifi-
cation was put into effect in 1899
which alone resulted in a saving
of more than $8,000,000 by reduc-
ton of interest. This saving has
now increased to more than $l0,-
100000 by careful financial opera
ton.
