NISEI PURCHASING
CHOISE FARMS
REFUTED BY PITT
DENVER, Jan. 11--The
regional war relocation au-
thority asserted Tuesday
night that investigations
had disproved claims that
Japanese-American evacuees
were buying choice Colorado
farm land, at exorbitant
prices and “squeezing out''
old-time residents.
Malcolm E.Pitts,assist-
ant field director for the
Rocky Mountain region,said
there had been several in-
stances of evacuees re-
leased from centers in this
area purchasing farm land,
but he pointed out they
had a right to do so under
existing laws and that it
was up to the landowner not
to sell to persons of Japa-
nese ancestry if he so de-
sired.
“It would be most un-
fair to place hard restric-
tions against these people
trying to return to a nor-
mal life.” Pitts said.
“They must live some place
and if every community dis-
criminates against them,
it will be an unhealthy
situation both for them
and for tne nation."
A delegation from the
Little town of Brighton
recently complained to Gov.
John Vivian that Japanese
Americans were "taking over"
the region, buying the best
land and even trying to set
up a liquor store which
sold only sake, a Japanese
drink. A Grand Junction,
Colo., group and the city
council of Powell, Wyo.,
also had protested settle-
ment of evacuees there.
Pitts said an investi-
gation had been made of the
Brighton situation and that
one would be made at Grand
Junction.
