The army's plan to move Jap anese to the Owens river valley drew criticism even before It was announced. Mayor Bowron of Los Angeles termed any such move "a serious thing for the city." The Owens valley aqueduct, vit al part of Los Angeles' water sys tem, flows through the valley. "I've got to protect the drink ing waler of this city," the mayor said. The city of Los Angeles expect ed to present its official position in more detail before the Tolan con gressional committee on def'nse migration and alien evacuation, which opened hearings there to day.

EVACUATION OF JAPS IN CALIFORNIA AREA BEGINS ( By Frank Frawley) LOS ANGELES, Mar. G (AP) Strange things are happening In Little Tokyo. Moving vans are hauling away furniture and personal effects. For rent signs ure going up In store windows. Sales are In pro gress everywhere, with goods gen erally marked down 40 per cent. Yet, there are few buyers. Young Japanese, in the uni form of the United States army, are home on brief furlough to visit relallves-r-relativcs who must get out of Little Tokyo, busi ness headquarters for the 40,000 Nipponese in southern California. Sayonaras, or farewells, are be ing said, without tears. On street corners young and old stare fixedly into space. The full impact of the war has been brought home to them. For three months Little Tokyo has been dying. Fifth column activity at Pearl harbor Is responsible. In U0 days It will be a ghost town. Myriad Of Problems Faced Uncle Sam has ordered ap proximately 300,000 enemy aliens und American-born Japanese from specified combat areas in Washington, Oregon, California and part of Arizona. The evacu ation presents a myriad of prob lems, Including acquisition of sites away from defense projects, transportation, financing and ollen property custodianship. ' For Amerbanborn Japanese, the forcible ejection is a severe blow to pride In citizenship, and a heartache for the thousands who must quit their jobs, leave school, and start life anew in strange surroundings. All under stand, however, that by leaving voluntarily they are assisting to the ulmost the defense program. Vegetable Business Hit Thousands plan to leave volun tarily, without any prodding. The first resell lenient project is being created. The silt hasn't been se lected, but details are being rush ed to completion. Able bodied young men will be the first to go. They will set up homes and insti tutions and families will follow as quickly as possible. The first call for volunteers in such a project brought 2,000 responses, and thou sands more are registering. The government will have to be con sulted In every step. The vegetable business in Los Angeles county, a $i:,(X0,00O-a. year enterprise, Is going to feel the pinch of the Japanese evacu- i atlon. The Japanese have sup- plied $1!S,000.0(X1 annually of ,he crops ad it is extremely doubtful If there will be sufficient while lalor to produce requirements of the 2,500,(100 people in the county. Many Japanese foresaw what is hapiH'tilng to them and did no early planting.

Outboard Motor Listing Not Applicable Here Coast guard regulations con cerning identification of opera tors of outboard motors apply only in defense and restricted areas In the Columbia and Willa mette rivers, according to an in terpretation obtained today.

However, If upstate bouts are taken into the Columbia or Willamette ureas during the salmon trolling season or at other times, identification will be necessary for owners of outboard motors and special li censes will be needed for all In board motor boats.

(AP) British bombers In their devustut ing raid on Puris were blasting at factories turning out war mate riel for Germany at possibly three times the rate they had worked for the French, inform ed American industrialists said today. They based their estimates not so much on the unknown present capacity of the huge French mo tor, aircraft and munitions works as on the hours operated. Many French factories, they said, worked only 40 to 45 hours i week up to a few weeks before France fell. One Frenchman, whose plant at Paris turned out planes for nore than a decade up to June, lfi-10, said Germany now wus get ting more than 25 per cent of her trucks from France and compar able amounts of planes, tanks and guns.
