City Asked to Provide
 Isolation Facilities
Tentative Amounts Setup Pending More Complete
 Investigation of Needs, Probable Expenses

Ti1O need of modern facilities for the proper handling of isolation type of diseases in Waterbury was stressed to the board of finance last night, at their special meeting, by . medical committee consisting of Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, representing the board of health, Dr. J. Harold Root, representing the Waterbury Medical association and city Health Officer Dr. E. J. Godfrey.
 A sum of $30y000 to $40.O00 was agreed upon, tentatively, last night by the board and the medical rep resentatives as necessary to matn- tain . fully staffed and equipped ward or wards in Q wing of one of the local hospitals, most likely the old isolation hospital now leased out to the Connecticut Children's Hospital association.
 The above sum, if this latter pro- eosal were agreed upon, would be in she form of blanket appropriation Gor next year and would be the clos ess estimate possible, inasmuch, for obvious reasons it will be impossible Co determine, at least t first year, en an average of the number of this type illness that will occur, disre- sarding possible epider.icc.
 Under this plan, the hospital leasing the wards, would provide the food laundry, heating, and gen. eral maintenar ,, while the city would provide the necessary medical equipment and the nursing staff The above figure given would in- clude the cost of rental, although the city would derive revenue from the fees paid by the patients.
 The proposals to construct an ad- ditional wing either to St. Mary's or the Waterbury hospitals for such Q purpose was not met with too fav- orably. Under this plan the hospi- tals would maintain and staff the addition, and retain the fees, while the citys only cost would be the original construction.
 However, it was felt that such a construction at this time would prove to be out of proportion, in cost. due to the present high price on building materials.
 The board took no dcfinite action last night, pending the presentation of a more detailed report from the medical representatives who are ex- pected to meet with the board ot health ct a special meeting on Fri day night. Following this latter meeting the doctors are expected to again meet with the board of H.

Relocation Camps Will Close As Disloyal Japs Are Interned And Others Take Jobs
By HARLOW CHURCH NEA Staff Correspondent

Poston, Ariz., July 9 - It is the intention of the War Relocation Authority gradually to 'liquidate" the Japanese relocation camps and the program now is under way. It has been spurred by the Senate Military Affairs Committee, which recommended that all eligible men in the centers qualify for selective service; that camps be maintained for the disloyal, the very young and the very old; and that all workers be put to work as rapidly as they qualify.
 Separation of the evacuees on the basis of hostility or loyalty to the United States has already started, and the WRA is begin ming large-scale segregation of the admittedly hostile, trouble some and suspected evacuees.
 Until some of the thousands who have gone into outside jobs wrote letters describing their favorable treatment, many of the Nisei were afraid to leave the camps. They knew that some states, especially those on the Pacific Coast, which had been home to them, were violently op- posed to their return under any circumstances.
 HIT BY NEW LAW
 California has organized a Pa cif1c Coast Japanese Problem Con- ference which is resolved to keep Japanese, aliens and citizens alike, out of that area forever. Arizona has just passed law that makes it necessary for all who intend to do business with any member of the Japanese race to take out special permit from the state and to ad- vertiSe their exact, intentions ill state newspapers for three weeks.
 In spite of such opposition, more than 63,000 of the Jap-Americans have filled out forms requesting re- location, and some 54,0oO have been sent to the FBI for checking and investigation.
 Positions were not lacking for the skilled trades and profess sions. Many are now working in vital defense industries. But a lack of definite training hind cred numerous others.
 Here the National Youth Ad- came to the rescue. In their shops and schools throughout the country they pro- vided the necessary training for many technical trades, included | for the men while | learning, and assisted in place ment after completion of the courses.
 In field offices throughout the country, the WRA is working closely with the U. s. Employ
