Best, an official of the War
Relocation Aumority, told a
house Dies sub-committee that
until the night of Nov. 4, it was
his opinion that the internees
were oraeny ana conirouaDie,
but that on Nov. 4, a large
group of them became "very
menacing."
"Orderly" Beat Up
He described the Jans
orderly during the original
Nov. l disturbance when Dr.
Reece Pettlcord, head of the
colony's hospital, was beaten
up. no saia ne saw no weapons
on Internees that day.
The Nov. 4 disturbance arose,
he said, after camp authorities
had taken three truck loads of
loyal Japanese to the farms.
The other Japs, he said,
thought food was being taken
from the warehouse to feed
loyal Japs, and intended to pre
vent it. The three truckloads
of Japanese already had Jeft
before the crowd gathered.
On that occasion, he said they
gathered at the motor pool and
at Beit's home in violation of
an order issued after the Nov.
i disturbance that no such
groups would be permitted to
Bjfliner again.
