8F   CA   OFFFICE  LOOTED OF
$166   WEDNESDAY  MORNING
BURGLAR  SMASHES  THREE LOCKS
   Smashing off the padlock on the 8F CA front office
door early Wednesday morning, a burglar entered,
ransacked the office desk drawers and cabinet and
made off with $166.10 by breaking and prying off
two additional padlocks on the vault, revealed the
Community Activities division, Thursday.  This bur-
glary goes down as the largest in the local police
records.
   The daring robbery committed in the local police
department's backyard was believed to have been per-
petrated early Wednesday morning, as a shibai prac-
tice was held in the building until 9 o'clock Tues-
day night. It was also reported that an artist
was busily engaged in painting shibai scenery until
midnight.
   The burglary was discovered at 8 o'clock Wednes-
day morning by the CA office janitor who arrived at
that time to perform his daily task. The police de-
partment was notified immediately with Harlow Tom-
linson, internal security officer, and his men get-
ting to the scene of the crime to start investiga-
tion.     No  other reports  on the     progress    to apprehend
the thief have been released,
but Chief Tomlinson is mus-
tering every effort to
bring the criminal to jus-
tice   quickly.
   According to the CA di-
vision, the loss consisted
of $103.10 in movie receipts
and $63 from the proceeds
of Miss Chiyoko Matsuda's
concert. Rather unusual
was the fact that the thief
left behind $135.15 in
coins.
7-POINT   STATEMENT  CLARIFIES
    NISEI  VOTING RIGHTS
   Of great interest and importance to nisei in re-
location centers who are of voting age and who have
or will reach their majority in a relocation center
is an opinion expressed by Cameron H. King, registrar
of voters for the City and County of San Francisco,
clarifying nisei rights.
    In his Apr,   7     letter    to    R. B.  Cozzens, WRA field
assistant  director,     King    made a seven-point state-
ment  of his     "understanding     of the registration and
election    laws     (Califor-
nia)     respecting    citizens    
of    .Japanese    ancestry"   in
relocation centers.
   Briefly the seven points
stated that the nisei's
permanent residence is re-
tained in the place from
which he was evacuated and
whether adults or minors,
the fact and the law of
residence remain the same.
Therefore, nisei in relo-
cation centers may "regis-
ter and vote as 'absent
