HOUSING MOVES FROZEN
TO  PREPARE FOR TULEANS
    "No person shall be per-
mitted to move from one
place to another within
a block or from, one block
to another,” announced E.
B. Eaklor, housing super-
intendent, Monday. 
   This order in effect now
will remain so until the
block managers have charted
all possible moves within
their   respective   blocks.
   According to the in-
structions issued to block
managers by Eaklor, per-
sons who "'will be asked to
move will probably be (1)
bachelors who occupy a
room by themselves, (2)
small families occupying
large units, and (3) orig-
inally   large   families   from
which some members have
left the center on indefi-
nite   leaves.
   When all moves within
a block have been charted
by the block manager, who
are acting under instruct-
tions from the housing de-
partment, they will be
checked by the department
and if approved,the actual
moving will  take   place.
   Requests to move, made
necessary to create room
for the incoming Tuleans,
will be made by the depart-
ment only after all factors
have   been considered.
   This department and not
the block managers is re-
sponsible for any moves
ordered,   concluded Eaklor.
Parolees Are  Not Treated
Differently For Segregation
   "Parolees will not be
treated as a separate class
for segregation purposes,"
stated E. M. Rowalt, act-
ing WRA director,Saturday,
in a telegram to Project
Director  James   G.   Lindley.
   Parolees will be segre-
gated only if they fall
within one of the three
groups designated for move-
ment to  Tule   Lake,   namely:
   All persons who re-
quested repatriation and
did not retract their re-
quest prior to July  1,1943.
   All persons who answered
the   loyalty  question in the
negative     or who failed   or
refused  to register  or an-
swer     the   question and   did
not  change   their  decision
before   July   15,   1943.
   All persons who have
been denied leave clear-
ance  from Washington.
   Rowalt stressed the
importance of a clear under-
standing of the policy for
segregation as the Rocky
Shimpo, read by many of
the evacuees, carried a
story mistakenly on August
4 indicating that all pa-
rolees will be sent to
Tule   Lake.
