This remark was the product of a question about whether he thought that the danger of sabc- tage on the Pacific coast had decreased to a point where 1942 Japanese evacuees could be re turned. Earlier, Rep. John Z. Anderson, R Calif., said 800 Japanese evacuees had been per mitted to go, back. , The president, noting that he was talking about Japanese American citizens, said the dan ger had diminished in most cases but that as a matter of practical fact about 25 per cent of the evacuees had replaced them selves in other parts of the coun try. , . He said there is a feeling among lawyers that under the constitution these people cannot be kept locked up in concen tration camps because American citizens have certain privileges. This feeling, the president said, was activated to a great extent by the -wonderful record of Japanese-American soldiers in Italy. Asked whether military re strictions would be relaxed to .
