TEN HERALD AND NEWS Tuesday Marsh 0, 1145 FE W RELEASED JAPS RETURN TO COAST AREA By WILLIAM A. GLENN Df the Japanese leaving war re location centers arc reiurnuiK io the Pacific coast, H. Rex Lee, j -a v. WD A rolnmtinn ril- vision in Washington, disclosed today after a nationwide survey. Of 28,541 Japanese who had reported their resettlement, only 1495 were in California, Oregon and Washington in February, the survey showed. Only 1938 of the 60,397 Japanese remaining in plans to return to the Pacific slope. If the trend continues, WRA officials said, the west coast will have a postwar Japanese popu lation numbered in the low thousands, compared with the 110.000 living there December 7, 1941. Illinois has attracted 7900 of the resettlers, more than twice as many as any other state. South Carolina is the only state in which there have been no re settlements. - ...... :; . Most of the Japanese are es tablishing homes in the vicinity of large cities, with Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati espe cially favored. Rural families, fiarticularly those which own and, constitute the bulk of those planning to renew coast resi dence. Few city families have shown interest in returning there. Not all Japanese, the WRA says, are eligible to return to the Pacific states. The army has barred an undisclosed number from coastal areas, and others are not free to leave WRA super vision. The relocation centers will be closed this year, and those who are not permitted to resettle probably will be trans ferred to the segregation camp ..4. rrMt Recruiter ;j V ft . A. C. Frititn, recruiter in charge of tha Klamath Falls station, reports the navy's need for mora parsonnal. The American soldier is in genious to say the least, and an example of his resourcefulness was illustrated in a recent letter received from Corp. LeRoy Real, son of Mrs. Vera Real, 111 Shel don, who is a member of the Timberwolf division under Gen eral Terry Alien, now fighting in the city of Cologne. "We're having beautiful weather, makes me want to go cat fishing," Real wrote. "I see where our fleet has attacked Tokyo and that really sounds OK to me. They might finish there before we do, I hope! I winched a '34 Chevrolet out from under a pile of rubble the other night, it was really like new except it had no tires. Some of the fellows pulled the motor and transmission out and we are mounting it in a trailer for a light plant. Have a big 220 volt generator so we should have some good lights pretty soon. - "Anything you need, you just keep looking and you'll find it. I even found a house with four or five fresh deer hides in it the other day. That did make me homesick." Before entering the service, Real was employed by Ewauna camp at Quartz mountain as a cat driver. He is now with a supply outfit but just before his letter was written, Real . had seen 100.- consecutive days of combat. Fish Commissioner Dies of Heart Arrack NORTH BEND, Ore.. March 6 (IP) A heart attack had proved fatal today to L. A. Cutlip, 49, member of the state fish commis sion and one of southwestern Oregon's leading businessmen. Cutlip was found dead beside a tractor on his south Coos river farm late yesterday. He ' was mayor of North Bend for three terms- and the widow, -Stella, formerly was state representative from Coos-Curry. - .- Cutlip, a native, founded an Ice. cream manufacturing jjlant here after reluming from World War I. Surviving, in addition to the widow, are his father, Sherman, Coos Bay; a daughter Laurelee, student in Catlin school, Portland, and a son, Capt. L. A. Jr., in the South Pacific with the marines;. In order to keep up the war in the Pacific, recruiting of per sonnel for the navy must be in creased at once, reported Ch. Sp. A. C. Frcisen, recruiter in charge of the Klamath Falls sta--tion. One of the most urgent navy programs at present is the pro curement of men to be trained as radio and radar technicians. All men between the ages of 17 to 601 who qualify will be as signed to navy radar school at Great Lakes naval training sta tion. High school seniors who enlist as R. T. wfll be placed on inactive duty until graduation in June. Young men of 17 years of age may enlist in general ser vice and, if qualified will be assigned to one of the navy's trade schools. Men m the 18 to 38 age group cannot enlist but are assigned to the different branches of mili tary service through selective service. They will, however, be assigned to the navy if they qualify for the R. T. program. Flashes of Life By The Associated Pren LAW-ABIDING SALT LAKE CITY, March 6 (P) Sometimes it's not too easy to abide by wartime rules and regulations, say two cab drivers. One told police a sailor beat him up and broke his car win dow when he ejected the fellow for annoying a woman passenger on a share-the-ride trip. The other reported that he was slugged by two passengers for refusing to load more than four persons in his cab. BARBER GETS CLOSE SHAVE MILWAUKEE, March 6 (IP) Ray Barber, a guard at the audi torium, opened a basement door, started shouting (not singing) "Hold that tiger both of 'em." He got back through the door and pushed. On the other side, one tiger pushed, as they eyed each other through the glass door panel. But Barber won be cause the tiger didn't know about spring locks. The two jungle born Bengals, AWOL from a Shrine circus, withdrew and later were caged. Creation of Columbia Valley Authority to Be Discussed At Meet ' SPOKANE, March 6 The proposed creation of a Columbia valley authority, as contained in a bill sponsored by U. S. Sen. Hugh Mitchell (D-Wash.) will be the chief topic of a meeting Fri day of members of state recla mation associations from Idaho, Washington, Oregon, . Montana and Utah. Other matters affecting irriga tion development in the five states will be discussed. T. D. Potwin, Yakima newspaperman, will preside at the opening session. COURT RULES HOWELL OUT DF JUDGESHIP SALEM, March (P) The state suci-cme court ruled unani mnuslv today that Circuit Judge Franklin C. Howell of Mult nomah county must Rive up his seat to District Attorney James R. Bain, who was elected last November to succeed Howell. Howell, contending the elee tion was irregular because the candidates were nominated by assembly, claimed' he was en titled to serve for the next two years. The election laws make no provision for nomination of independent candidates oy as semblv. The decision, by Chief Jus tice Harry Belt, upheld circuit Judge Charles H. Combs, who heard the case in Portland. Howell was appointed by Gov ernor Snell on last May 6 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Judge Robert Tucker. It was too late to nominate can didates for the May Drimary. but after the primary, assem blies nominated Bain, Howell and John K. Wears to run for the position in the general elec tion. Bain got 52,837 votes, Howell 43.430. and Mears 41.119. After the election, ' Howell filed suit against Bain, Gover nor bnell, and secretary of state Robert S. Farrell Jr.. The supreme court, after sug gesting that the legislature amend the non-partisan judici ary laws to provide for nomina tions of independent candidates to fill vacancies, said: "Even assuming that the wrong method was followed in the nomination of these candi dates and that their names were improperly printed on the offi cial ballot, it does not follow that, by reason thereof, the elec tion would be null and void. At most, it would be irregular. If plaintiff (Howell) had any ob jection as to the procedure fol lowed, it was his duty- to com plain before the election and not after the votes were counted." PROJECT FINANCING EYED SALEM. March 6 OP) Leizis lative leaders held out little hope today that they could pass a bill by Portland city officials and industrial leaders to enable cities of more than 5000 popu lation to plan postwar projects by issuing revenue bonds or au thorizing assessment districts which could issue bonds. The bill was submitted late yesterday at a conference which included Governor Snell, Presi dent of the Senate Howard C. Belton, Speaker Eugene E. Marsh, chairman of several im portant legislative - committees, officials of the League of Ore gon Cities, Mayor Earl Riley of Portland, and others. The legislators said the bill should have been submitted be fore the legislature was 57 days old, and that no time is left for study of it. The No. 1 project on the list is Portland's 32-block civic cen ter, which may cost from ?25, 000,000 to $40,000,000. House Passes Bill For Foreign Study SALEM, March 6 (P) By a 42-16 vote, the house sent to the governor today a bill to permit the state board of higher educa tion to grant 10 scholarships a year to foreign students. The bill originally read "Latin-American" students, but it was amended to permit stu dents of any nation to apply. Opponents of the bill opposed giving tax money to foreigners. M" FIRST r !.
