   The California Attorney
General has recently ruled
that evacuees temporarily
residing outside of the
State are entitled to an
exemption of personal
property taxes on household,
goods up to an assessed
valuation of $100.  In pre-
paring 1943 personal pro-
perty tax b ills, so me
counties gave tax payers
the benefit of this exemp-
tion and others did not.
   Any evacuee whose legal
residence as of March 2,
1942,was within the county
in which the taxes were lev-
ied, may apply for house-
holder's exemption, or for
a refund of the tax paid on
property to the assessed
value of $100.
   Any evacuee questioning
the amount of his 1943 per-
sonal property tax bill
should, first d e t ermine
whether or not he has been
granted the householder’s
exemption.    If he believes
he is entitled to and has
not received it, he should
address his request to the
county assessor and attach
an affidavit setting forth
the facts regarding his le-
gal residence as of March
2, 1942.
PEGLER
Criticizes  WRA
   Westbrook Pegler, noted
syndicated columnist,wrote
recently in his column,
"Fair Enough" that the WRA
administration "is  a  sticky
mess that should be turned
over to the Army for ef-
ficient handling."
   He thinks the "bad Japs
should be detained and
treated with austerity and
the good ones released for
their own good as well as
ours ."
   Pegler said on the basis
of personal observation
(Poston center), the evac-
uees are not overfed or
pampered.
