Letters  TO    THE   EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:
  I understood through the
Dec. 2 issue of the PIOEEER
that American citizens in
the center are allowed to
have cameras.
  Since this is true, I
wonder if Project Director
James G.Lindley will write
individual letters to per-
sons wanting to obtain their
cameras frcm police stations
in Los Angeles?
  The cameras are of no
value to the owners if left
in Los Angeles, and to buy
another one is impossible.
We will appreciate it if
Mr. Lindley would consent
to writing a letter for us.
           MRS. T. MUTA
ED. NOTE:  Project Dir-
ector Lindley has been con-
tacted and he states that
he would be glad to aid the
evacuees.   He has already
written 12 letters to vari-
ous officials.
Plan Course

  Due to a large number
of requests to the adult
education department for
a Japanese language class,

gram is being attempted
through the Washington of-

Gordon, stated yesterday.
