uIe Lake Chief
Draws Prui iSe

WASHINGTON, March II. CUP)
Rep. Herman P. Eberharter, CD
Pa, filed minority views which &C.
scribed the report of the other two
members of the house special SUBJ
committee on the Tule Lake, Calf
segregation center program as "a
serious disService to the American
people"
The challenged majority report
submitted by Chairman John NJ
Costello, D), Calf, and Karl E
Mundt, (RD, s. D., recommends
/. Removal of Dillon S. Myer
national director of the War Relo-
cation Authority, and Ray R. Best
Tule Lake center director, because
of their evident inability to cope
with disloyal Japanese.
2. Transfer of administrative
jurisdiction and control of TUE
Lake to the department of justice.
8. That the War Relocation Au-
thority report directly to congress
on individuals responsible for the
Tule Lake riot last Nov. and dis
ciplinary action.
T. That policing at War Reloca-
ton Authority centers be done ex-
clusively by Caucasians.
MAKES CHARGES
Eberharter took issue with each
of the recommendation and added
that the report has seemingly been
written with view to obtaining
maximum publicity for the most ir-
responsible charges
Furthermore, he added, the re-
port "has encouraged the public
to confuse the people in relocation
centers with our real enemies a.
cross the Pacific"
The congressman reported he had
found ugly manifestations" of i
resultant type of racial thinking
which might eventually lead to ill
advised actions that will constitute
an everlastingly shameful blot on
our national record"
SAYS MYER ACTED WISELY
He found that Myer and Best
acted wisely last November by
meeting with the evacuee commit
tee, hearing their case and giving
both them and the crowd "a forth
right and uncompromising state
ment of the governments position
Il cannot help wondering what
action my excessively critical COL
leagues would have taken under
similar circumstances" he observed.
THE role of Monday morning quar-
terback has never been a particu-
larly difficult assignment"

The Navy will reach It's proposed
year-end strength Of 3,2Oo, 900 men
on schedule and selectiye service
will continue calling mon on the
reduced scale Of the last SIX months,
1t was learned today.
A Spokesman said the Navy had
Experienced no diSnculty In recruit
ing enough l7.year-olds to permit
the expansion authorized BY Presi-
dent Roosevelt IN July. At that
time, the Navy announced plans to
expand by $4,000 enlisted men by
December, mostly through recruit
ing youngsters.
The Navy spokesman said the
Navy expected to recruit another
1876, 900 between January and July,
1915, without difnculty. "A relatively
small proportion of the Nays ex-
pansion will come through selective
service.
Instead of bearing down" on re-
cruiting, the spokesman said. the
Navy is concentrating now on ac-
quiring radio technicians, mostly
through selective service. Under an
arrangement between the Army and
the Navy, the latter Is permitted to
give prospective selectees q chance
to take tests between their pre-
induction physicals and their in
ductions, to see If they qualify as
radio technicians.
Denying reports Of an increase In
selective service calls, both Navy
and selective service spokesmen
said there was no anticipated
change in requirements and that al
discussions among the Army, Navy
and selective service over the last
few months have been on maintain-
ing stable, even now" Of men.
