he said, however, that he thought
Japanese American citizens could be
absorbed readily throughout the

Mr.. Roosevelt said many lawyers
believe that citizens of Japanese
extraction cannot lawfully be con-
fined to relocation centers.
Of about 100000 originally sent to
them, he said, 20 to IS per cent
already have placed themselves in
other parts of the country.
Using what he termed his favorite

of the domestic economy and to

Some of the decisions will be far
from simple. There is little salvage
value in an airport cleared out of
an African jungle, and no chance
of transferring such an investment
to the United States. In other cases,
the board must decide whether to
transport heavy equipment back to
this country or to dispose of it
where it is at the wars end.

Gillette 10 Be Named
To Board Disposing
OF War SurpIuses
Ry the Associated Press

A legal complication which will
solve itself in six weeks held up
official appointment of Senator
Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa to
the Surplus War Property Dis
posal Board today.
| President Roosevelt named former
Gov. Robert A. Hurley of Connecti-
cut and 1t. Col. Edward Heller of
San Francisco to the board yester-
day, and Senator Gillette is def
nitely slated for the third spot.
The White House recalled, how
ever, there is legal bar against
appointment of a member of Con-
gress, during his term of office, to
position created during that term.
The Surplus Property Disposal Act,
which calls for appointment of the
three member surplus property
board, became law only last October
3. Senator Gillette's term as Sen
ator expires January 3.
Mr.. Hurley, a Democrat, who
failed in another try for the gov
ernorship November 7, is due for
the Craftsmanship of the board.
Gillette Not Seeking Post.
In addition to Mr.. Hurley's admin
istrative experience gained while
Governor, the board will have the
benefit of Col. Hellers background
as an Army finance officer, and of
Senator Gillettes IA years service
in the House and Senate.
Although Senator Gillette was
defeated for reelection by Gov.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper, his friends
said he had not been seeking a Fed
eral appointment and would serve
only because of the wartime emer-
gency.
Before Senator Gillette leaves the
Senate, he plans a speech urging
fuller use of farm materials as a
source of industrial materials. and
opposing scrapping the synthetic
rubber industry built up so rapidly
in the past few years, in line with
his views on further induStriaIiZa-
