SURVEY  REVEALS  NISEI
LATENT  VERSATILITY
   What type of work in-
terest the prospective re-
locator?  That was the
question foremost in as-
sistant eastern Relocation
Officer John Penery's mind
in making a survey of center
e v a cuees interested in
seeking employment in Wash-
ington, D.C.
   During his short so-
journ in the project Penery
interviewed scores of res-
idents at the local employ-
ment office and found the
answer to his question quite
surprising.
   He came to the con-
clusion that nisei are a
versatile lot for among
the field of jobs sought
were radio, silk screen
work, governess, account-
ing,agriculture, engineer-
ing, clerical and stenography.
   Washington visitor also
found that the main factor
in evacuees' reluctance
had been their misconception
of housing problem. All
persons interviewed still
had the notion depicted
year ago in cartoons and
humor stories about D. C.’s
overcrowded  living conditions .
   From all appearances
the present relocation prob-
lem isn't what you want to
do but where you want to
go and the trend is to-
wards office employment
rather than domestic work
because of greater promo-
tion possibility and job
stability.

MYER'S REPORT ON TULE LAKE RIOT
---continued from page 1-
   5--On Nov. 4, about 400
evacuees, many armed with
clubs,entered the adminis-
trative area,whose advance
was resisted by some inter-
nal security officers-one
tripped and struck his head
on a stone, then was hit
by evacuees  with clubs.
Subsequently,Ray Best,pro-
ject director, requested
army control of project area.
   6-Large number of eva-
cuees are United States
citizens with constitution-
al rights of citizens-
have no responsible part
in the recent events.
   7--M a n y exaggerated,
even hysterical reports,
harboring serious interna-
tional implications, placed
the WRA in a difficult
situation. Further inves-
tigations are being made
to verify other allegations
appearing in the press.
   Prior to the Nov. 1 in-
cident "difficulties” were
being created by some of
the more headstrong group
of  evacuees, which gained
impetus when a serious ac-
cident occurred on Oct.15.
A truck, carrying 29 eva-
cuee workers, over-turned
while attempting to pass
another truck and injured
all  its occupants . One per-
son was fatally injured.
   Approximately 10 days
later evacuee group claim-
ing to represent the com-
munity met with Project
Director Best and submitted
questions and demands,
   The committee received
the following reply:
   1--Tule Lake residents
were not regarded as pris-
oners of war.
   2-WRA does not operate
on basis of demands.
   3-If residents are un-
willing to harvest the
crops, other methods would
be found.
   In presenting this fact-
ual statement, the WRA is
mindful of Tokyo's reac-
tions of events at Tule
Lake and realizes that "the
situation at Tule Lake be
handled with a scrupulous
regard for accuracy."
LIFTS  MARTIAL  LAW
AT  TULE LAKE
  TULE  LAKE, Calif., Nov.

Segregation Center was held

   Reports from the center
today said no Japanese were
permitted to leave their
quarters during the hours
from 7 p.m. last night un-
til 10a.m. while all troops

   Colonel Austin's order

stration by approximately

to have been protesting
against the officer's sched-
uled speech yesterday.
