First Of Bills Aiding Japanese
Pays Off for Camp Fire Losses

WASHINGTON. May 27th-The
first bill beneficially affecting per-
-sCns of Japanese ancestry has Just
been passed by Congress and signed
by the President, the Washington
Office of the JACL Anti-Discrimin-
alton Committee anounces.
This bill provides for the pay
ment of approximately $4,000 to
evacuees whose personal effects
we're destroyed or damaged as the
result of the Christmas Day, 1913,
fire in Camp Two, Potion, ARIZONA,
and OF the warehouse fire of July
%, 1914, at Manzanar, California.
and whose claims were properly
processed.
The claims of 80 former resi-
dents of Poson and Is former resi-
dents of Manzsnar were approved
by the Appropriation Committee of
both Houses, passed by the House
and the Senate, ard signed by the
President as a art OF the First De-
ficiency Appropriations Bill.
The Washington Office cooper
ated in processing these claims and
repeatedly urged the passage of
these claims by Congress.
All of the awards are for $1,000
or less, since under the law claims
over $1,000 must be passed upon
separately as private bills.
AS a matter of information, the
Washington Office states that the
former government office respon-
sihle for processing ouch claims has
been nquidated because OF drastic
cuts in apprapria; lions and that
the Ado lacks the necessary facil-
tiles and personnel to assume these
additional services. Whatever car
be done, however, the Washington
ADO Office will do, it was ex-
claimed.
Successful claimants are urged to
write General Accounting Office

themselves and amounts due them
