LANSING, April A. up -
The task of shaping a sensible,
effective program of assistance
TO returning veterans, based on
a philosophy that the home
town should run the show with
minimum of State interior
ence, faced a conference of rep
resentatives of 81 Michigan mu-
inequalities here today.
Governor Kelly called veter-
ans counselors from commune
ties ranging upward in size from
1000 population to confer with
him on the subject, declaring he
would be satisfied with any plan
agreeable to them, so long as it
was workable and recognized
that the home town people
knew the problems of their sons
and daughters much better than
would officials in Lansing.
A tentative operational plan
was ready for the conference
perusal. This would create a
policy-forming local office of
veterans affairs, a functional
agency to be known as the To-
cal veterans counseling center,
and an executive committee to
integrate their efforts.
Maj. Wilbur j. Myers of the
State Selective Service head
quarters said some municipal
ties already have roughly SINH
lar plans in successful opera
ton, and declared their expert
ences would be valuable in
helping a Statewide program to
get under way.
A chart outlining the tenta-
tive plan would establish the
counseling center as an agency
to give information and refer
ence to veterans on problems
such as unemployment, place
ment in new jobs, physical and
mental rehabilitation, educa-
ton, vocational training, physi-
Cal and mental health, rights
and benefits of service men, and
other services. Myers illustrat-
ed by saying the agency would
not place the man in job, but
would refer him to the proper
agency to do this.
The local office of Veterans
Affairs, he said, under this plan

u. S..Born Japs

BoIIots Allowable
to 10000 Here
WASHINGTON, April 4-tP)

WASHINGTON, April 4-tP)
- American-born japanese will
vote this year, just like other
Americans, but most of them
will have to do it by absentee
ballot.
The reason: So many of them
are in relocation centers, out
side the states where they lived
before Pearl Harbor, and were
moved there by the government.
Under a general rule in COM
mon law, a person can not vote
in a state to which he has been
moved involuntarily. Those in
the centers outside their own
states will have to use the abb
sentee ballot.
This will be possible because
they were moved from Califor-
MIA, western Oregon and Wash
ington, and southern Arizona,
all states which permit absentee
voting.
There are 10000 Japanese in
this country, 10000 of them
aliens and 10000 American
born who therefore are citizens.
After Pearl Harbor the gov
eminent did these three things
with the japanese in this coun-
try:
I. 1t placed enemy agents in
camps operated by the army.
These are not relocation GEN.
tiers.
2. 1t gathered up 100000 Jap
anese aliens and American
born from the three coast
states and southern Arizona and
placed them in relocation GEN.
tiers distributed as follows:
California (2), Arizona (2),
Arkansas (2), and one each in
Colorado. Utah, Idaho and Wy
oming. All are operated by the
specially created War Reloca-
ton authority.
3. The other japanese living
elsewhere, including aliens, were
permitted to stay where they
were and go about their usual
business.
OF the 100000 put in reloca-
ton centers, 1900 were re-
leased to live and work else
where when places were found
for them. More will follow.

Converts Coast
Cars 10 butane
Drivers No Longer
Held by Rotioning

SAN FRANCISCO - WH -
Gas-famished Western motor
lists, who have used kerosene,
benzene, cleaning fluid, clorox-
everything but whisky, which
they can't get either-to stretch
their mileage across the Vests
wide spaces, may find the an
swer to their dreams if they fol-
low the example of California
motorists.
These California motorists
some 1000 of them-are road
happy today because they are
getting all the "gas" they want
at 10 to Ia cents a gallon and no
ration coupons to bother with.
The answer is the gas called
butane. technically known as
"liquefied petroleum" and UNI
rationed in California.
The motorists will remain
happy unless irate OPA officials
find some way of catching up
with them.
Conversion of passenger cars
to the use of -butane requires a
special carburetor and several
other gadgets which are easily
obtained, but for which prior
ity must be requested from the
Petroleum Administrator of
War, Harold Ickes. The priority,
however, requires no certifica-
ton by any government official.
If the butane motorist plans to
use more than 1000 gallons
month he has only to have his
dealer certify that sufficient
butane is available.
Peyton Hough, head of the
WPB automotive parts division
here, estimates that conversion
to butane costs between $3.50
and $500. However, butane will
average about ID miles per gal
lon even in a Cadillac, Lincoln
or Packard.
The fuel, long advocated by
some petroleum engineers as
motor fuel, is being used in
hundreds of trucks. 1t burns
with less carbon and is the near
est approach to high octane
fuel available today to motorists.
Fuels previously tried have al
ways been found wanting. Kero-
sene was dirty and too slow
burning, cleaning fluid wouldn't
pull the mountainous Western
grades, clorox just didn't work.
Butane wants nothing but
OPA sanction. At present, OPA
officials, aroused by this whole
sale leak in California gasoline
rationing to a series of grim
conferences, have found no way
of stopping the use of butane
except to emphasize that butane-
using autos are stil1 subject to
tire rationing.
Fire Marshal Kelly, head of
San Franchises fire-prevention
bureau, has pointed out that the
sale of butane, a highly explos-
i've gas, is illegal in this city,
and that motorists who have
converted their cars for such
fuel will face prosecution and
possible seizure of their auto
mobiles.
