By Wendell Webb
Managing editor. The Statesman " ;
In the light of cold reason, some of those doings under the not
sun of nortnem California six years
But they happened, and to some of the news men who were in
anq out of the Tule Lake Relocation center that summer they can
never be forgotten. f
j The court in Ban Francisco last Friday said the people kept there
wefe "imprisoned." And they cer-
tainly were. It is true that the few
of us allowed to visit the camp did
not thet, seriously question the
federal government's war-time
right to keep them there not out;
loud. ;
But something was wrong with
the picture. And it wasn't relish-:
edjeven by those, including this
writer, who had been in the Pa
cific where certainly nothing had
endeared the Japanese to us.
Incidents Recounted:
Here are a few things that hap
pened: There were schools for the
"pris mere the children, most of :
those we saw, were the sons fnd
daughters of U.S. citizens; as we
entered one schoolroom they stood
and sang "The Star Spangled Ban
ner x x x O'er the Land of the
Ffee" l and around the enclosure
outside 'armed guards stood in
towers ready to shoot the first per
son to make a break.
In a tiny shack, with apple
boxes for bookcases and one
patched chair, was living a Japanese-American
doctor from Fres
no, Calif,", some of his instruments
were in packing boxes; he had
been in the United States more
than 20 years, built up a large
practice; so far as ever was known,
there was never anything against
his loyalty record.
Lost Track of Kin
In a sandy, few-acre tract in the
southeast corner of the camp were
mounds of dirt after all, many
people die each week in any city
of 15,000 and more; and many of
the residents had lost all track of
their more fortunate kin-folk who
had moved east before the "civil
ian exclusion ord.r" so no one
claimed the bodies.
Not very many of the residents
were willing to talk with report
ers; they were afraid; the few who
did, most of them, told of leav
ing plots of land back "home" in
Oregon, California. Washington
and elsewhere; they'd left tractors,
tools, horses; few -professed to
know what had happened to them
but they were getting letters
from supposedly loyal Americans
offering to dispose of them for a
nice commission.
Certainly there were disturb
ances in the camp a few beat
ups, a robbery, minor pilfering.
The Japanese and Japanese
Americans, however, were under
too close surveillance to do much
and the crime statistics were far
less than in any other city of com
parable size.
Incident Net Surprising
There was a ganging up on an
American guard, too, and huge
furore about it. The straight of
that story was a difficult one to
untangle. But even an official of
A Cadillac doesn't tell you are but it
peaks moat eloquently of -kst you arc!
It says, a plainly as if it spoke tie words, that
you're a man or a woman of discriminating taste;
that you're a person of achJeYtment in your owa

the War Relocation authority ad
mitted! that under such circum
stances the incident was not sur
prising; So far as newsmen could see,
the over-all treatment of the
"prisoners" was good. We ate with
them many times; visited them in
the barr. cks and tiny homes.
Camp officials had a job to do but
in the main it was done as quietly
as possible. A few of the more re
sentful Japanese started trouble
at times, but actual violence was a
rarity. Hundreds worked - calmly
in vegetable and produce tracts
day after day.
Oars Was to Obtain Facta
As time went on, the question
of constitutionality came increas
ingly to the fore, in regard to the
"imprisonment." But it was not
for reporters to decide that ques
tion. Ours was to reflect the feel
ings of the Japanese, probe the
treatment accorded them, obtaiv
facts about them from the WRA,
and write of the picture as it ex
isted. I
For fright or wrong, however, lt
is probably true that most of us
found little reason for the general
imprisonment; were secretly
doubtful if it conformed to the
spirit of our ' ill of Rights, and
believed generally that the FBI
and military intelligence services
could have taken care of the sit
uation; without such an indiscrim
inate, wholesale indictment of a
race. I

Death of Gon
H. : G. Maison, superintendent
of state police, Saturday denied
reports he is conducting an offi
cial investigation of the death of
Oran Brown lee, 24, who slashed
his wrists in a cell at the state
penitentiary last March apparent
ly with suicidal intent.
"Itt is my understanding, based
on action taken by the state board
of control, that the investigation
thus far is in charge of the at
torney general," Maison averred.
The board of control directed the
probe after it received reports
that Brownlee . failed to receive
prompt and proper medical at
tention
Maison was reported to have
been asked by Attorney General
George Neuner to furnish him
with certain information which he
refused to disclose, but not to
assume charge of the official In-
vestigation.

Nearly Ready
Application blanks for Marion
county residents who desire to
petition the county court for im
provement of dedicated roads will
be available at the courthouse
here this week.
The blanks are to be printed
early this week, it was reported
Saturday by County Judge Grant
Murphy. Demand far such forms
has increased recently. Under a
law of the last legislature, resi
dents on a dedicated road may
ask the county to improve the
roads provided they are willing
to pay the costs.
Net ob Schedule
Dedicated roads are those which
have not been accepted Into the
regular county road system and
so are not on a regular main
tenance schedule.
Before a petition can be con
sidered by the court it must bear
signatures of not lest than 73 per
cent of the owners of property
abutting the road to be Improved
who represent not less than 75
per cent of that property.
Owners U Fay
Instructions with the petition
blanks indicate that the county
court reserves the right to accept
or reject the petition. The county
will establish center lines and
grades. Driveways and culverts,
walks and steps, are to be paid
for by the property owners.
Disposition as to shrubs, fences,
buildings, severance driveways,
and drainage and other such mat
ters rests entirely with the county
engineer, according to the in
structions. If a petition is accepted and the
road improved then the expense
of such operation will constitute
a county tax lien against the
abutting property.
creat hat become a mark of achievement in every
community and in every noteworthy walk of ife.
This, of course, is aa txtr value that comes to the
owner of a Cadillac car ... a pleasing addition to
the wonderful performance, the matchless comfort,
and the unbelievable endurance which are inher
ent ia every car that carries the Cadillac name.
If you would Eke to know what a pleasure it is to
