PORTLAND, Ore., May 2-(P)
Oregon's Japanese began a mass
movement Saturday that will end
in their evacuation from the west
ern defense zone..
Starting1 in early morning, hun
dreds of alien and American-born
Japanese, their belongings in trav
eling and army duffle bags, re
ported to the assembly center that
will be their home possibly for
several months. By the end of
the day, 350 of the scheduled 500
were quartered in the Pacific In
ternational Livestock exposition
pavilion. I
One woman, mother to . two
small children, reported in tears,
but most bf them appeared happy.
The children considered it a lark,
and were at play in the pavilion
show ring even before their par
ents had occupied assigned apart?
ments.
Some 4000 persons all of Ore
gon's population of Japanese an
cestry plus a few from Washing
ton will occupy the pavilion un
til evacuation centers are pre
pared outside the defense zone.
All should be cleared through the
assembly center here, before fall,
army officers said.
The evacuees will set up a cov-
erning board of their own. and
will be responsible for most reg
ulations and the maintenance of
order. Direct management of the
center, will be in the hands of
Emil Sandquist, a civilian.

tary Snell are expected alter

the usual campaign proceed are
of concentrating their efforts on
Multnomah county and Port
land next week.
i Democrats, who have done little
campaigning in the mid-Willamette
valley, will bestir themselves
enough to stage a rally for seven
counties at the Marion hotel here
Wednesday night, with State
Chairman Charles H. Leach and
Marian County Chairman J. F.
Ulrich presiding.
Most active local contest to date
has been that for the two state
senatbrships from Marion county,
sought on the republican ticket by
Sens. Douglas McKay and Ronald
E. Jones and Rep. Allan G. Carson
and Ralph Miller.
Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan's
tilt for reelection with Rep.
George Duncan of Stayton and
Herman Lafky of Salem is be
ginning to kick up a bit of dust,
but so far not to the extent of
other campaigns in which Mc
Mahan faced opposition.
An undercurrent of open vs.
closed town sentiment is report
ed flowing deep beneath the
surface of the Salem city coun
cil races; but they lack the in
spiration of a contest for the
position of mayor to bring out
the issues. L. M. Dooshton,
veteran water commissioner, has
no opponent for the Job as pre
siding officer over the council
and official head of the city
government.
This year's primary ballots are
ail exceptionally short, and many
of the positions are one-man af
fairs. 121 Placed in
Defense Jobs
One hundred twenty one per
sons were placed . in defense in
dustries from the Salem defense
training office during April 1, as
compared with 80 so placed in
March, an incomplete compilation
revealed Saturday.
When some of those recently
employed make reports to the de
fense training center the total
may be increased considerably,
C. A. Guderian, defense training
coordinator for Salem, believes.
The past month's report shows
that 83 persons secured employ
ment as shipyard welders, 25 as
cantonment carpenters, five as
aviation or general sheet metal
workers, five as auto mechanics,
two as. machinists and one each
as radio repairman and shipjoin
er. Enrollment in the training and
placement classes, many of which
operate on an evening basis, may
be made at the Oregon Stat Em
ployment office, 710 Ferry street,

Registrants in
February to

WASHINGTON, May 2(JP)
Army service will start next
month for some of the men who
enrolled in the registration of
February 18.
: State draft directors received
instructions f from Major General
Lewis B. Hershey, national direc
tor, Saturday to include men of
the 20-21 and 38-44 age groups in
the June calls. He said the re
quest came from the war depart
ment ! The local boards were directed
to draw for new selectees on the
February 16 group and earlier
registrants in accordance with the
number of class 1-A men in each.
j "If the first age group (men
registered in October and July,
1941) has been exhausted, the
call should be made only upon the
second age groups (February 18,
1942, registrants)," Hershey's in
structions said.
! "If the first age group is not ex
hausted the local board will call
upon each group in proportion to
the number of class 1 registrants
remaining q each." V
i By next month, officials- said,
the local boards are expected to
have substantially completed the
task of classifying the registrants
of February 18. ,

On Alert
(Continued From Page 1)
so have been reported landing
new forces In the New Guinea and
New Britain areas in recent days.
Townsville. 700 miles below the
northern tip of Cape York, might
well be the first objective, if the
purpose -of such enemy concen
trations is to strike at Australia's
populous east coast instead of at
tempting a laborious and time
consuming campaign across tho
arid western or northern regions.
The small city of Townsville
is behind th Great Barrier
reef, but if the Japanese safely
penetrated tho mined offshore
waters and made a landing they
would find themselves on the
coastal railway which reaches
southward Iff miles to Bris-
bane and 120i nifles to 8ydney.
8aaall lines also extend inland
behind the great dividing range,
opening the possibilities of
flanking attacks against the
ckib . ucienaes.
In the only air action reported
Saturday, allied fliers shot down
a Japanese plane when a forma
tion of five attempted an attack
on Port Moresby. An allied recon
naissance plane also shot down a
Japanese fighter and orobablv
damaged another when it was at
tacked by seven of the enemy.
