HOOD RIVER POST
SILENT ON JAPS'
RETURN TO COAST
Hood River, Ore, Dec. 18
Ul.PJ Members of the Hood Riv
er American Legion post, which
recently erased the names of 16
Japanese-Americans from its roll
of honor, were silent todav in
face of newt that Japanese of
provea loyalty would be allowed
to return to their west coast
homes.
Jesi Eddlngton, post com
mander, said he had no comment
to make when informed that ex
clusion orders against west coast
Japanese had been revoked, and
that those of proved loyalty
would be allowed to return to
their homes after Jan. 2.
Action of the post here in r.
moving the names of the Japa
nese-American soldiers evoked
widespread storms of protest
xrorn iaDor ana church leaders
nd from other legion posts.
The post here had previously
explained its action by pointing
out there was bitter opposition
in this area to the return of
Japanese from Inland relocation
centers.
Eddington said the post's ex
ecutive committee would meet
tonight, but he declared the new
western defense command order
was not on the list for discussion.
