Seqreqee Situation Not
'Hunger Strike,1 Says WRA
War relocation officials de
clared today it is no longer rea
sonable to consider the demon
stration in the isolation area of
the Tulelake segregation center
as a "genuine hunger strike."
WRA said the two main rea
sons for its conclusions are:
1. One of the strikers, hospi
talized July 25, has been eating
for three days and today, after
returning to the isolation area,
continues to take nourishment.
. 2. The amount of food in the
isolation kitchen just prior to the
demonstration was too great to
have been entirely consumed by
the men, and probably was hidden-
for future consumption.
Wrona Term
"With: one of -the so-called
strikers eating ln the midst of the
other. 13,. it -would be ridiculous
to call the demonstration a hun
ger strike," said a WRA state
ment, .
- Although the men Isolated as
troublemakers stated . they had
nt. eaten since -July 19,. those
examined at the hospital at their
own request were not in a seri
ous condition, wka stated.,
Seem Weak
They seemed weak but still
were able to get around in the
isolated area unassisted and to
visit with wives, children and
relatives. .-
There were never more than
19 men in the isolated area be
tween June 29 and July 19; WRA
pointed out. i. v
"It hardly?: seems- possible,'
said the aWRA, . "that the men
could have coirmletelv consumed
a large quantity of food left in
the kitchen in that period. This
food included 115 pounds of fish
300 pounds of rice, as well as reg
ular quantities of meat, eggs,
bread, vegetables and milk.",
, On, July. 19, -when '.the-strlke
began, the: food was gone and
the strikers claimed they' had
consumed it before beginning
their campaign -of self-starvation
to force release from the isolated
area.. .. ... , .
