ter. Most of those aro Japanese
citizens but some arc Japanese.
Americans who, despite having
once become American citizens,
have decided that their national
feel ins is with Japan. Of the to
tal, about 5000 are unaer 18. and
have been placed at Tulelake be
cause ot tile status 01 relatives.
It appeared certain today that
substantial numbers of present
Tulelake evacuees will be among
those permitted to return to
their homes.
To Clot Camps
The WRA plans to close its
eight otner relocation camps
within a year.
Maj. Gen. Henry C. Pratt,
chief of the western defense
command, announced yesterday
that the war department had de
cided to revoke its security or
der, under which the persons of
Japanese ancestry were evacu
ated. The move. General Pratt
said, was because of "favorable
progress of the war in the Paci
fic, as well as other develop
ments." Personally Dangerous
Henceforth, he said, they will
be excluded only when the army
considers them, personally, dan
gerous. All persons not specifi
cally excluded will be permitted
to return.
Reception of the announce
ment throughout the west was
varied. In Los Angeles, out
spoken Mayor Fletcher Bowron
declared that If the government
permits the Japanese to return It
should send troops to protect
them.
Protection Uncertain
"If they come back and start
moving war workers to get a
place to live. I don't know what
the result will be," Bowron said,
adding that because of inade
quate police facilities "we just
can't guarantee thorn protec
tion." California Gov. Earl Warren
in a formal statement at Sacra
mento said the army's decision
had been reached on the basis of
the military situation as it ex
ists today," and appealed for "an
attitude that will discourage
friction and prevent civil dis
order." '
Spokesmen for the western de
fense command said that lifting
,of the ban will not mean a sud
den return of population, adding
further strain to war-taxed hous
ing conditions. The defense
command said it expects the war
relocation authority to see that
'the process is gradual, and add-
;ea mat those permitted to re
turn will be carefully investigate
ea.
Bar Continued
i Major General Pratt said all
.persons of Japanese ancestry
with the taint of pro-Nipponese
sympathies on their records will
.continue to be barred from the
coast states.
n was uncertain how many
evacuees would be affected by
.the order. More than 115,000
ipersons of Japanese ancestry
were evacuated in the order of
March 24, 1942, and it was esti
mated that there are now ap
proximately 119,000 under juris
; diction of the war relocation au-
, inonty.
"Vindication"
I At Salt Lake Citv. Sahnrn
; Kido, president of the Japanese-
miieiican citizens league and a
luin.er oan rrancisco lawyer,
termed the action "a vi
of the loyalty of the Japanese-
American population to the
United States."
1 r. BM at Ke"t. Wash., Benjamin
; Smith, president of the "Remem
ber Pearl Harbor" league, de
clared the Japanese are still dan
' gerous to the war effort, and
; added that his organization has
Pledged 500 persons not to sell,
lease or rent farms, homes or
stores to the returning evacuees.
He said that "further steps"
might be taken.
Court Upholds
Exclusion Order
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 M-
The supreme court today de
clared justified an order exclud
mil Japanese from the west
coast which the army applied in
niarcn. ivtz ana revoked only
yesicraay.
The court's 6-3 opinion by JtiS'
ticc Black on the issues of ex
clusion did not rule on the con
slittitional questions involved.
In another onlnion. the ins.
tices ruled unanimously that an
American woman of Japanese
descent was entitled to uncondi
tional release from a war reloca
tion authority center because
sue was conceded to be a loyal
citizen.
The opinion holding exclusion
justified was given in the case
of Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu,
who was removed from his Cali
fornia home to a war relocation
Biiuiorny center m Utan.

A m e r 1 c a n submarines have
.sunk 33 more Japanese ships,
.including a light cruiser, three
destroyers and six escort ves
sels, in their latost forays in

today,
; The new tally brings the

types sunk by submarines since

Me adds: "It has been the
U. S. EOvernment's (vmfctintl
held policy that questions relat
ing to oounaarics should be kept
in abeyance (delayed) until the
termination oi Hostilities."
JEEPING such things secret
.... . Iwu lair fcu uu any
thing about them is the accepted
diplomatic way. In normal
times, and in strictly old-world
matters, this method has some
thing to recommend it.
But these aren't normal times
ana tnese matters aren t now
strictly old-world matters. Am
erica is concerned in them, and
we Americans are a different
kind of people. We feel we are
competent to judge the policies
oy wnicn we are to re pnvernpri
in our foreign relations.
In a country such a nnr
foreign Policy, if it is to be sue.
cessjut, must have public opin
ion back of it. If American
public opinion is to be back of
American foreign policy, we
must be told WHAT our foreign
policy is.
That is somethme we haven't
been told.
PRESENT secrecy arouses the
FOREIGN POLICY and are just
drifting along from day to day.
That probably isn't true, but
BELIEF that it is true will do
irreparable damage.
It is high time for our state
department to speak up and tell
us what it is all about.
TN the Philippines, we're get-
ting new airfields whipped in

Our navy can be expected to
hit hard and often in these days
when the Japs are REPAIRING
their ships that were battered
in the naval battles of Leyte. We
AREN'T going to wait until they

QN the home front, the war
department today revokes
the order under which the Jap
anese were evacuated from the
Pacific coast thus opening wide
the Pandora's box that we've
known had to be opened sooner
or later.
What are we going to do with
these American-born Japanese
when they start coming back to
tneir nomes?
T)ANIEL McDADE, immediate
commander and a national vice-
commander of the American
Legion offers the best answer
that is immediately forthcoming
Me says in Portland today:
"Sooner or later we have to
learn to LIVE with the Japanese
if we're going to solve the Pa
cific problem.
CITHER that or we'll have to
fall back on the INSANE

tioned at length In a ncndinn
criminal investigation. He de-j
cuned to state tho details of the
investigation, but indicated that
further developments might oc
cur soon which would bring it
into the public records.
It was learned that a 15-ycar-old
sister of Miss Collins, who
is variously reported as aged 20,
21 and 23, is being held by the
county Juvenile authorities and
also has been questioned in the
investigation.
Miss Collins, it was learned
from the city police, was picked
up some time ago on a vagrancy
charge, and was given a "float
er" out of town. When she was
found in the city, she was Jailed
to serve out the sentence, and
had about eight days to go on
the sentence when she reported

whether Russia had fulfilled the
military decisions of Teheran.
Hundreds of Germans were
slain in the bloody fighting that
resulted yesterday In the cap
ttiro of Fot, Si miles northeast
ot Budapest, and Mogyorod,
eight miles from the capital, the
Russians announced.
The Germans came back with
furious counterblows by the
Luftwaffe, self-propelled guns
and waves of Infantry.
The red army thrust to Slo
vakia, with the capture of 40
towns Including Stisa, represent
ed a gain of 15 miles northwest
of Miskolc. It appeared almost
certain that Die Germans can
not much longer remain in
Kassa, tho biggest city they still
hold in southeastern Slovakia,
for it is rapidly being outflank
ed to the west In this drive.
