American-bom Japanese in May,
1942. and was sent to Manzanar,
has been out of the center only
twice. In December, 1943, he re
turned to Los Angeles to appear
before his draft board and early
this month he represented the
Manzanar YMCA at a Hi-Y con.
ference in Estes Park, Colo.
He gave his reason for register
ing as of Japanese parentage:
"My Japanese-American friends
at high school were ordered to
evacuate the west coast, so I de
cided to go along with them. Who
can say I havent got Japanese
blood in me? Who knows what
kinds of blood run in his veins?
"I registered as being of Japan
ese ancestry and came along with
the first group to be sent to Man
zanar.
"I east my lot with the Japan
ese-Americans because I did not
believe that my friends of Jap
anese ancestry were disloyal to the
United States."
Lazo was born in a Los Angeles
hospital in 1925, where both of his
parents registered as Mexican
Americans. He said he hoped to be
sent to the Japanese-American in
telligence school of the army at
Camp Savage, Minn., where he
could take advance studies in
reading and writing Japanese,
which he started at Manzanar.

Parking Mistakes
Accident Source
Parking maneuvers, rear-end
collisions many of which involved
cars stopped to park, and failure
to yield right of way at intersec
tions, were the chief factors lead'
ing to traffic accidents along Wil
lamette street during the first six
months of this year. Police Chief
Carl F. Bergman said today.
An analysis of the accidents on
Eugene's busiest street, made by
the safety division of the secretary
of state's office, showed a total of
94 traffic accidents on Willamette
street between Twenty-second and
First avenues during the first six
months of 1944.
Of the total, 28 per cent In
volved cars leaving or backing Into
parking positions along the curb,
Chief Bergman said. Seventeen
per cent involved rear-end col
lisions, about a third of which oc
curred when cars stopped to park
and were struck by a following
car.
Sixteen per cent of the collisions
along Willamette street involved
cars whose drivers failed to yield
the right of way. Thirteen per cent
involved cars making left-hand
turns.
The analysis Indicated that the
practice of making left or right
turns from the wrong lane is a
hazard along Willamette street,
Chief Bergman said. He urged
drivers to get in the right-hand
lane for a right turn and the left
hand lane for left turns.
Forty-four per cent of the acci
dents occurred during the period
from 2 to 6 o'clock in the after
noon. Forty-two per cent occurred
on Fridays and Saturdays with
Fridays seeing the greatest number
of accidents, 21, while Saturdays
were second with 19.
"If Eugene drivers will exerlse
greater care leaving and entering
parking positions, giving proper
signals and looking for approach
ing cers, we could avoid approxi
mately a fourth of the accidents
in our business area," Chief Berg
man said. "Observance of the right
of way law at intersections and
attention to the matter of making
turns from propre lanes will pre
vent another large share of our
traffic crashes. '

3,000 men, surrendered.
The Americans were last re

Offer To Surrender
The garrison at Lorlent on the
south coast already had offered
to surrender, not awaiting the ar

At Brest, the French naval base
at Brittany's tip, Americans were
last reported in the outlying
streets.
