Rumors About Japanese Re

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

reports that 5,000 Japanese laid
siege to the administration build
ing and had to be dispersed by
army troops with tanks and tear
gas.
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."

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
