stay in the camps because they
are airaia to go nome.
' The 110,000 removed from the
west coast were placed in WRA
camps. More than 2500 of them
have gone into the armed serv
ices. About 30.000 were re
leased from the camps to settle
in other parts of the country.
By supreme court order all
tne evacuees found to be loval
and law-abiding were free after
last January l to go back to me
coast
That is what WRA officials
say about the 60,000 still in the
camps:
The west coast terror-tactics
has chilled the desire of some
to return. The return of others
is delayed because their west
coast property is still under
lease to people who took it over
when they left.
The Japanese in the WRA
camps are not to be confused
with the Japanese tough guys in
a special camp for them at Tule-
lake, calif. There are 18.000
Japanese and Japanese-Americans
at Tulelakc.
That number includes not only
those -found to be disloyal but
tneir wives and children. Five
thousand of them want Jo be re
turned to Japan.
As late as last December these
tough guys were, in Biddle's
own words, "practically running
me camp, from the point of view
of expressing their loyalty.
Ihey were marching, they
were bowing to the emperor,
they had bugle calls, thev had
all of the performances. It was
just a little Japanese center.
