Rumors About Japanese Re location Center Inspired By German Agents, Word MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1943 I r v ' 5 1 1 M Ci .17- San Francisco, Nov. 3 (U.PJ Charges that 8,000 demonstrat ing Japanese internees seized control of the Tula Lake segre gation center for a four-hour period were reiterated today by a reported eye-witness to the dis turbance, despite denials by war relocation authority spokesmen of any rioting or disorder at the camp. The San Francisco Examiner, revealing the unnamed camp vis itor's account, said WRA per sonnel including National Direc tor Dillon Myer were held "pris oners" for the four hour period, along with an army lieutenant and four visiting civilians. The Japanese, some carrying clubs and knives, carried out the demonstration Monday, the eye witness story declared. San Francisco, Nov. 3 (U.R) A spokesman for the War Re location Authority charged to day that reports of widespread rioting and disorder at the Tule Lake, Calif., Japanese relocation center were "undoubtedly in spired by German agents- and played right into the hands of Nazi and Japanese propagand ists." Capt. Edward Joyce, of the WRA office here, admitted there had been an "altercation" last night between Dr. Reese M. Pedicor, head of the Tule Lake medical staff, and two Japanese internees, but branded as false Adrienne's Lovely New FURS Added to our already large stock.

Peaceful Meeting Joyce said that most of the adult males in the camp- had gathered at the administration building to hear a talk by Dillon Meyer, national director of the WRA, who has been Investigat ing a strike of Tule Lake harvest workers. . , "It was a perfectly peaceful meeting," Joyce declared. "Meantime, however, two young Japanese at the hospital got into an argument with Dr. Fedicor. One of them tried to bar his way when he started to walk over to the administration build' ing. Dr. Pedicor hit the Japanese on the jaw and the other pitched in, too. The doctor gave a very good account of himself. The fight was stopped by Japanese who hurried to the scene from other parts of the camp. "I want to emphasize that re ports were wrong which said Dr. Pedicor had been attacked by a dozen Japanese. He" was bruised in the fiaht but so were the two Japanese and they were the only internees with whom he was engaged." Reports Similar Joyce asserted the reports of Tule Lake disorders had been going on for several months and "follow a strangely exact pattern." 'Tor example," he continued, "we've often received myster ious phone calls from points hun dreds of miles from Tule Lake inquiring about "riots' which al legedly happened only live min utes before the calls were put through. ' ' ' "Unfortunately, the American people have heard these reports so often they have believed some of them and repeated them." The strike at the camp oc curred last week when a cer tain group of Japanese refused ta harvest crops for other re location centers. Meyer said here last Saturday that the strik ers took such action because they "considered themselves nrisoners." .Approximately 16,000 Japan ese are at the camp.

De Lorenio United Press Correspondent Detroit -ML'.R) One of the automotive Industry's most in fluential leaders, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., of New York, believes the accelerated overseas opera tions of American business and industry after the - war should be conducted on a "two-way street" basis. Sloan, chairman of General Motors Corp., the industry's largest producer in war as well as in peace, recommends that a sound and just peace be fortified by an intelligent system of world trade where by we exchange our goods and services freely with those of other countries. The veteran industrialist told the Economic Club of Detroit recently that American tried to ignore this cardinal principle during the booming 20s and thereby learned a costly lesson." ". . . Whether we export our goods, our services, or our capi tal and know-how, we can be paid only by accepting, directly or Indirectly, goods and services in return, Sloan emphasized. There is no other way. "As our national Income ex pands we shall need more of the products of other countries, for no nation is entirely self-contained. If we buy more we can sell more in return. But there is no avoiding this fundamental principle. Sloan believes the primary ob jective of industry and govern ment after the war should be finding jobs for 55,000,000 per sons. To achieve this goal, it is obvious that American industry must strive to develop extensive overseas markets. The GM chairman noted, how ever, that since the last war there has been a trend in many countries toward "self -containment." 'The export of motorcars, for instance," he said, "has been prejudiced by the desire, and a perfectly natural one, for other countries to keep themselves the wealth created in the production or. goods. Even if their people must pay higher prices for less aesiraDie goods, and they do, nevertheless there may be real or apparent offsetting benefits for the nation at a whole." Sloan also forecast a postwar trend of industrial development by some countries "from the point of view of national de fense." ."To use the motorcar industry as a case study, he explained, "it win increasingly, have to decide wnether to enter the industrial scheme of other countries and manufacture locally or lose such markets to the domestic enter- prize of foreign countries." ' Sloan said stabilization of In ternational exchange, adjust ment of tariffs, elimination of quotas and more intensive pro motion of foreign markets would promote sound, orderly world trade. He urged that industry and government join hands "to ex port our labor and materials in the form of goods and services." In addition, he said, "we can help others and earn a profit for ourselves by judiciously export ing our know-how and our capi tal through establishing pro ductive enterprises." "By so doing," Sloan said, "we benefit through the resulting general stimulus to international trade and through the profit re turn on our capital." In its last full year before the outbreak of war in Europe re duced Its markets, the automo tive industry exported 161.C15 passenger cars and 151,523 trucks. Its best automobile cus tomers aboard were the Union of South Africa, - which bought 21,723 units, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Brazil, Mex- - ri (Acmt Ttlephoto) Marital difficulties came early to 13-year-old Mrs. Edna Pfost Harris, above.

Largest foreign buyers of American-made trucks before the war were India, Belgium, Hong Kong, South Africa and Brazil. ' It is no secret that most in dustry leaders feel the greatest expansion in overseas markets will occur in the countries of Latin America. - - . COIN SAYS DORIS Reno, Nev., ' Nov. 3-i-(U.R) Doris Duke Cromwell, heiress to the Duke tobacco fortune, sought a divorce today from her estranged husband, James H. R. Cromwell, former minis ter to Canada. Charging "extreme mental cruelty which caused phyhical and mental suffering, she said Cromwell has "directed all his efforts since our separation in 1940 at obtaining a large cash settlement." His demands were so high, her complaint said, "that the plaintiff has been unwilling to assent thereto and no agreement las to financial affairs ever has been reached. Mrs. Cromwell, whose fortune has been estimat ed at $30,000,000, said Crom well demanded a settlement of 7,ooo,ooo. LAPHAM ELECTED San Francisco, Nov. 3 (U.R) Roger D.
