Evidence received by the Cali
f ornia investigating committee
sitting, at Tulelake, , Calif, dis
closes a shocking state of affairs
in the Japanese relocation center.
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.

( AP) 'American marines,

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.
The speaker was introduced by
Col. Carle Abrams. Master of cere
monies at the patriotic exercises
was Irl S. McSherry- Other fea
tures were the sounding of "taps
and volleys by the firing squad,
followed by a minute of silent
tribute to the. dead of World war
at 11 o'clock, the hour on No
vember 11, 1918, when firing
ceased in France; invocation by
Rev. Dudley Strain, and musical

Production
Unstopped
On Armistice
By the Associated Press
The roar of production machin
ery at home and the thunder of
modern warfare abroad all but
drowned out yesterday the usual
commemoration of the Armistice
day that 25 years ago ended the
slaughter of the first World war.
President Roosevelt silently
paid the nation's tribute ,to the
symbolic American fighting man
of 1917-18 whose tomb at Arling
ton national cemetery bears the
inscription: "Here rests in honor
ed glory an American soldier
known but to God." j
But while this unknown soldier
continued his long rest in the
quiet hills ; above I the . capital.
there was no rest for 4 the new
generation- of young men who,
their " fathers had hoped, would
live and die in peace. v ;-
; For they were busy fighting the
Germans again on Italian, soil
instead of in- France this . tiro.
and from the air on a scale that
would have been thought impos
sible in the life of the unknown
soldier. . ; ;
And they were, out after- the
Japanese, in the last war a jackal
sort of ally and in this one a bar
baric and treacherous' foe.
Generally over the United States
there was no interruption of the
workings . of the arsenal ; . from
which flow the tools ol war. Air
planes, came off the assembly line,
ships -.took form and - guns and
tanks poured forth as on any oth
er :day ; devoted to production
which will hasten, the Jcoming of
peace again. -. r ,

Smashing
To Poland
Power Drive
Started Against
Front at Gomel
By JUDSON O'QUINN
LONDON, Friday, Nov. 12()
The Red army ran through 100
towns and villages yesterday in
its deepest westward stroke of
the war, reaching a point less
than 25 miles from the vital
Korosten - Berdichev railway,
whose seizure effectively would
split the Germans Ukraine for
ces and open the way for a smash
into old Poland 60 miles beyond.
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.
It is the roost direct link still hold
ing the sagging enemy line to
gether, although there is another
railway between it and the Polish
border, the devious Korosten-Shepetovka-Berdichev
line.

LONDON, Friday, Nov.
12 (AP) A great force
of RAF bombers hammer
ed European targets again
last night in a blazing fol
io wiip to 24 hours of vio
lent allied aerial activity
concentrated on German
railway communications
with Italy, and the nazi in
dustrial city of Muenster.
A preliminary British
announcement said the overnight
assault was ; directed against ob

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. The previous

American planes to
