ASSEMBLY  PASSES
REQUISITON  BILL
   Project Director James
G-. Lindley announced today
that he is in receipt of
information from Russel T.
Robinson, chief of the San
Francisco Evacuee Property
office to the effect that
the Assembly of the State
of California has passed a
bill granting right to the
State of California to take
private property used in
the "production of food
and   fiber."
   This bill states that
any idle and unused agri-
cultural  equipment  and
machinery, regardless of
ownership may be  taken.
   Robinson also advises
that the OPA has placed a
price ceiling on agricul-
tural equipment at 55 per
cent of the new price of
such machinery and equip-
ment, and appraisals upon
which California  proposes
to take over this equip-
ment will be predicated on
this  price.
   Lindley placed stress on
the fact that this bill ap-
plies only to idle farm ma-
chinery and that equipment
under lease or otherwise in
use will not be affected..

NYA
TRAINING CENTERS OPEN
    Japanese American young
men and women are now be-
ing accepted for vocational
training at resident NYA
training centers in Michi-
gan and Kentucky, according
to Samuel J. Gordon, direc-
tor of adult education.
   Amache has been given an
initial quota of 15 men and
15 women.
   The   NYA    training  pro-
gram  is   open  only to youth
between the  ages   of  18 and
25 who are  American    citi-
zens.     A    typical resident
center    contains    dormito-
ries, mess  halls, and  shops.
Provision  is made  for  rec-
reation and social active-
ties.     NYA youth   are  pro-
vided    with    subsistence,
laundry    facilities,   emer-
gency    medical     services,
tools  and    equipment,   plus
cash wages of $15. 90 a month.
   Length    of   training   in
any  one   occupation depends
upon    the     ability     of  the
individual    student.     In
general,     courses   of study
may be  completed     in    from
six weeks  to three   or  four
months.
   WRA and NYA jointly will
cooperate in the placement
in industry of students
completing their training.
WRA will send the selected
young men, and women to the
training centers, fare to
be paid by WRA.   Once ar-
rived at the destination,
the evacuee becomes the
responsibility of the NYA.
   Centers now ready to ac-
cept evacuee trainees are
located in Flint, Saginaw,
Cassidy Lake and Traverse
City,  all   in Michigan.
   Young men and women who
are interested in this
training program are urged
to get in touch with Samuel
Gordon at the adult educa-
tion office any evening
after 6:30 o'clock or any
afternoon after 4  o'clock.
