death" from a Japanese prison
camp, if Japanese are permitted
to- resettle in Pacific coast areas
from which they were evacuated
in 1942. .

er at the meeting of the "Remem-ber-
Pearl Harbor league- which
was formed recently to prevent
the return of Japanese : to the
White and Puyallup Tiver valleys
of western Washington.-. . - , ,
"Personally X am not against the
Japanese-American , having the
opportunity to enjoy the American
way ox me out i wouia iuce io
see him enjoy it somewhere else,"
McCoy told the ' meeting, , which
was switched from the fraternity J
hall to the high school auditorium
to handle the crowd. f He would
not necessarily have to be sent to
Japan Hawaii or some of the is
lands we take from Japan would
be all right" . -
The speaker observed that trou
ble would likely arise if veterans
returned from the Pacific to find
their homes still surrounded by
Japanese. . -c
"I beliee it would be better if
the Japanese remained, away from
these communities," he said "If
they return they will undoubtedly
be discriminated against and peo
ple in that category are not apt to
be good loyal citizens. ?

FDR May Act
On PetriUo's
WLB Defiance
WASHINGTON, Oct 13-(P-President
Roosevelt said today
that if he could find a legal way
he intended to do something about
the AFT. Musicians union's defi
ance of the war labor board.
The president was asked at his
news conference whether he plan
ned any. action now that James C
Petrillo, the musicians' head, had
rejected his personal request for
compliance with the WLB's order
that the union lift its ban on mak
ing recordings for two-companies.
With a wry smile, the president
replied that people wrote that he
was a dictator one day and wrote
the next day that he should do
omething about Petrillo.
He would like to do something.
Mr. Roosevelt added, but It was a
great question whether he could
legally. He said he expected to
go into that" question in the next
few days. ' V;':
"What law might apply? a re
porter asked. . , -'
Oh, there were about 20 that
might have a bearing, the presi
dent replied, repeatics' that he had
not had a chance to go Into that
matter. . ..

Industry Had
To Be Bossed
CLEVELAND, Oct 13 -(.T)- Vice
President Henry A, Wallace - as
serted tonight it was necessary "to
take industry- by ' the scruff -of
the neck" to place it into the war
effort ; - .;, ' ; . - ?
The vice president, at a public
music hall political rally sponsor
ed' by the independent citizens!
committee, for Roosevelt deviat
ed irom his ' prepared speech -to
urge; the 'defeat of US Senator
Robert A. TafV Ohio republican.
He referred to a postwar pro
gram which Taft outlined . in a
campaign talk last night Taft ad
vocated with the return of peace
immediate removal of wartime
controls ; of prices, .wages - and
priorities, with certain exceptions.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, repub
lican presidential v nominee, ' also
recommends "the green light" for
industry, said Wallace. ; ,
"Those of us close , to the war
production board know better."
Wallace continued. "Given - the
green light; industry would have
gone on making automobiles and
washing -machines. - You had . to
take industry by the scruff of the
neck and throw them into ' the
war. Of course,' when they were
thrown in, they really did swim
with; the excellent cooperation of
labor." -'
In his prepared talk, Wallace
said Dewey- fit likely , to ; become
even more confused if he continues
half the time to talk liberalism and
half the time to express the
thoughts of the real power in the
national republican party."
