SURVEY SHOWS
DISCREPANCIES
The census survey Sunday
morning revealed that there
were 214 more persons in
this center than figures
the employment - offfice
files showed, according to
Lewis Fanslan, registrar.
The official population of
Amache is 6,013.
Reasons given for the
increase was that persons
on indefinite leaves would
get off the train at Grana-
da and ride into the center
on the farm truck, unnoticed
by the guards. At the same
time, many persons on sea-
sonal leaves would visit
the center for a week and
then decide not to return
to their jobs and remain
in the center without
checking in at the employ-
ment office.
The survey of the units
will aid in checking on
these persons who have vio-
lated the rules, declared
Fanslan.

lor from this center were

ger list of the exchange

ing to a wire received by

Lindley.
They are now confined
at the Rohwer center in
Arkansas with 41 other re-
jectees, and will be sent
to the Tule Lake segrega-
tion center with one of the

hara Amemiya, his wife, Ha-
yano, and children, Jimmie,
Fujiko, and Yukiko; Sakahei
Hirose, his wife, Tomi, and
