Charges ; Jap Signals j Early in War WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 Signals from the shore aided 'the Japanese in attacks on the west J coast early in the war, but after the evacuation of Japanese from the area the signaling was ,vir r tually eliminated. L.L Gen. John L. DeWitt . says in a report . is sued here: :;..). i w In three eases specifically cited in the general's report . to ' Gen. George C Marshall, chief of staff, he said that all three attacks by airplane : or submarines were aimed at spots where there were no defenses to catch them. . Cessation of the signaling, De Witt said, also brought a reduction In the number of submarine at : tacks on ships sailing from west coast ports. . - DeWitt gave the account of the ship-to-shore communications in a 600-page final report; on, the - evacuation of the Japanese resi dents, a movement he supervised ' as commanding general of . the western defense command ' and ; fourth army in 1912. DeWitt said that the decision to evacuate all persons of Jap anese ancestry from the west coast was not taken immediately on the - outbreak of war, but grew out of ; series of intermediate steps. Signaling was' observed from buildings that could not be entered without obtaining a search war rent, radio messages were inter- . cepted and a "fix" obtained on the sending station within an area of a city block, but the justice de partment was not willing to make mass raids' and the army still lacked jurisdiction. DeWitt said. For several weeks after TPearl .Harbor, he reported, every ship ; leaving a west coast port was at tacked by an enemy submarine. "This seemed conclusively to ' point to the existence, of hostile shore - to - ship (submarine) communication,' he satiL In a footnote he added "It is interest ing to note that following the evacuation, interception of : sus- : picious -or unidentified radio sig- ' rials and short-to-ship signal lights were virtually eliminated and at tacks on outbound shipping from west coast ports appreciably re duced." DeWitlsreport asserts that, whether bydesign or accident," , Japanese communities on the west coast invariably flanked strategic installations. While it was be lieved that some were loyal, it was believed also1' that others were not, he says, and a positive determina- A Hon ' could not be made.

" 20-tfP-The live hog ceiling was revised this week to let public stockyard dealers charge normal service fees when - this Would bring the hog price above the ceiling unit. ". - A i dealer who I purchases hogs in his own name at a public stock yard and resells the animals at the stockyard; thus will be permitted, the office of : price administration said to collect from his buyer a service charge not in excess of that listed by the dealer in his tariffs filed under the packers and stock yards actf o 1921. The order is effective January 22. i : Previously such dealers , were forbidden to make any charge for services if the service charge plus the hog price brought the total cost to the buyer above the hog ceiling. : This meant the dealers had -" to buy f at : considerably less than the ceiling or discontinue the service charge.--'-: - ,, -r - Since it was impossible in many cases to buy hogs J at' less-than-ceiling prices, some stockyards buyers werejforced to give up the selecting and sorting services they had been performing for many eastern slaughterers, u - ' j OPA said the new action, while correcting this situation, would not increase retail prices of pork, be cause the latter are sold under specific cents-a-pound ceilings by geographical zones. T j v The service charge maximum of $9 for a 14,000 pound truckload was extended to $13 for a 22,000 pound truckload Tin the amended regulations, j The new; rules also permit dealers to charge for truck ing hogs from their buying sta- lions to the customer's receiving points, even though 'the addition of trucking charges boosts the over-all price above ceiling, j Saniiam Twists -1 idge ; The strange whims of the San tiam river 50 years ago have cre ated a situation on the southwest ern tip of Marion county. In that area 566 acres of land owned by J, H. Turnidge have been con verted . into ; Linn county territory by a wide i twist in the river's coursend the catch, as far as Turnidge is concerned, is that he continues paying property taxes to Marion county while never re ceiving benefits due a taxpayer. . County Judge Grant Murphy cognizant of the situation, has called a meeting of ' the Marion and Linn county; courts for next Tuesdayj to discuss, the question, and take under advisement Turn idge's request for ; a. road to be built through the land under Mar Ion couqty .auspices, so as to pro vide an outlet for produce raised on the land. Linn county has not been , willing to act as the proper ty is officially.in Marion county.
