Hoodlumism, wanton waste of foodstuffs, making of knives in government shops, refusals to work, continuous nagging with 'demands,' physical attacks and threats against Caucasian person nel were reported. The director of the : center, Ray Best, said he called the army in after a gang f 50 Japs surrounded his house with cries of "Get Best." Then the army, which had been camped just outside the relocation area, moved in and took over, Two things stand out, first the definite .disloyalty of these Japa nese evacuees. They admittedly take the side of Japan, and have been, through the segregation pol icy, assembled in the one center. Their threats and their actions . show clearly the potential danger of their presence at large on this coast. By spying they could detect and report troop and naval move ments, coastal defenses, cargo ship sailings or commit acts of sabotage-In the event of enemy invasion they would have, been on hand to assist the invader in any way possible. We cannot condemn them for their loyalty to Japan, because we expect loyalty of Americans who may have been long domiciled In Japan. But we need not let these Japs run at large any more than we would expect Japan to permit Americans to roam at large over Tokyo and Osaki. The second revelation is the lack of firmness and discipline in the WRA. I am not surprised at the showing. When in the state house I had a report on Tulelake made by Hugh Ball of Hood Riv er, who knows the Japanese and Japanese language from long resi dence in Japan. He described it as a "WPA" type of administra tion which speaks for itself. The most of the men running the re location centers were brought into the work from other govern ment bureaus the Indian service, the WPA or other agencies. These had all been imbued with the "social- uplift" spirit of the new deal, and carried it to absurd extremes. The result at Tulelake was that the Japs really were running the show, and got . so rebellious that white personnel there 'were not safe. While the higher-ups seemed fear amddumb and blind, those in working positions knew what was going on and - moved their families out and some of them got out themselves. It seems that this center should be left in the hands of the army. Its population is more dangerous than . an Italian prisoner camp. Put the WRA clear , out at Tule lake and let the army have full charge until the war ends.

Douglas MacArthur's spokesman said today. In announcing that the six-mile-long beachhead at Empress Augusta bay the opening wedge to drive the Japanese out of the last Solomons island before Ra baul was "firmly secured," the spokesman took cognizance of re peated Tokyo broadcasts that American warships had suffered their most crushing defeat "since Pearl Harbor."

Too Early Peace Means Later War, Stackpole Warns Armistice Crowd Unless the peacemakers at the close of the current war per form their tasks with wisdom and foresight, avoiding the errors of the past, Armistice day in 1968 will be celebrated in the midst of an even more terrible world struggle, Col. Albert H. Stackpole told an audience which gathered in front of the War Mothers' monument here Thursday as the 25th annivarsary of the 1918 armistice was observed under au- spices of the Federated Patriotic Societies. First mistake to avoid, Col. Stackpole insisted, is another ar mistice with conquest of Germany or Japan scarcely begun. The United Nations must bring home to them realization of their de feat, by occupying every city and village in those two countries. The speaker paid tribute to the heroes of World war 1 and to the jaew who have sou forth from the Pacific northwest - in the current war, mentioning spe cifically the 41st division, re cently In -action , la th South Pacific, but taklne- in all the others as well.

A Soviet midnight communi que said hundreds of Germans were killed as the Red army swarmed across the Teterev river J to capture Radomysl, only 28 miles northwest of Zhitomir, a key junction on the railway. Unfolding their enormous pow er, the Russians also sprang ahead again on the Gomel front, 140 miles above Kiev, and the broad cast bulletin, recorded by the Soviet monitor, said 2000 Germans were killed beyond the west bank of the Dnieper, and" six strong points were captured. This offensive was aimed at Rechitsa, 28 miles west of the im perilled white Russian citadel of Gomel, by Russian units which several weeks ago gained a big bridgehead across the Dnieper at a point 35 miles southwest of Gomel. This display of soviet power evoked grim admiration from of ficial Berlin military commenta tors on the German radio, and was a portent of still more power to be exerted by the Russians now that the first snowfalls have de scended, on the long front. 2Jf:vurtli-eetral f jr o f where the Russians have been reported 45 to St mil el from the upper Polish and Latvian bor-" ders the eonuualque said a to-. " tal of 45ee Germans were killed yesterday in battles of local importance." Another 700 were killed as the Russians expanded their bridge head northeast of Kerch and to the south of that eastern Crimean port, where the Germans were re ported to have thrown 50,000 men into futile counter-attacks. 'Zhitomir was menaced directly by two other Russian columns in addition to the one which seized Radomysl. Father south one unit entered Brusilov, 53 miles east of Zhitomir, and another captured Kornin, 38 miles to the southeast. Kornin also is only 44 miles from Bedichev, junction for railways leading into Poland and Rumania. Russian units swinging north west of Kiev sped through Zarude, only 40 miles from the important German-held Junction of Koros ten. Acknowledginr retreats on the Kiev front one German mili tary commentator said the red army was trying "to force a turning point of the entire war." The steady stride toward Zhito mir represented a 14-mile gain during the day, and the Russians were threatening to outflank the nazi Bug river line. Seizure of the Korosten-Ber-dichev railway would facilitate greatly the developing disaster for the Germans in southern Russia.

A preliminary British announcement said the overnight assault was ; directed against ob jectives in occupied territory, but gave no details. Reports from the British south coast indicated the attacking force was large. The raid on Muenster was car ried out in daylight yesterday by American Fly in g Fortresses, which hit that city for the second time in a week.
