The Army recently rescinded the
West Coast exclusion order, and the

The Supreme Court the next day
held that those "concededly loyal
to the United States could not be
held In the centers. The tribunal
also held, however. that the evacua-
ton was constitutional when 1t was
ordered shortly after Pearl Harbor

best interests and for the interests of
all Americans of Japanese descent.
He added that evacuees will be
given ample time" to make the
move and that the WRA and Fed
eral and State welfare agencies will
aid families in need Of special help.
In his message to the soldiers, Mr.
Ickes said the Nisei had fashioned

your country" and "all good Ameri-

Cargo and Transport
Program for 1945
Increased 40 Pct.

The 1945 program for construction
Of cargo ships and special military
transport types has been raised
about 40 per cent because of increas-
ing demands of supplying two great
wars at opposite sides OF the world,
it was learned today.
Construction Of nearly 4,OO0, 900
tons of merchant-type vessels above
that originally planned for next
year is included in the adjusted
program. Of1cials said this will
place a great additional load on the
Nations already strained production
machinery.
The new program calls for total
of more than 100000 tons of
cargo and transport shipping in
1945. This means that total ship
construction will be close to current
production levels all through the
year.
Repairs Badly Needed.
Original plans for next year out
lined sharp tapering off of mer.
chant ship construction beginning
in july. Manpower and some IA
cilities to be released under the ole
schedule were to be used for badly
needed ship repairs.
Production officials also disclosed
that military strategists almost daily
are adding new programs to the
already heavy production burden
for 1945. More than $500, 900 900 ir
new manufacturing plants will be
required to take care of increase.
in munitions schedules already
made. This allows for a downward
adjustment from $500 0,OO0,0 tt
$340, 900 900 in cost of new ammuni.
ton plants.
Among new plants to be built ar,
ones for manufacturing rockets ane
parts for jet-propelled planes. II
addition, cost of new facilities neces.
sary for the increased military tir,
program, originally placed at $50,
100000, has been raised to $780,.
