US WANTS   VOLUNTEERS
WHO  WRITE JAPANESE
   The following story has been released by the Mil-
itary Intelligence Service language school, Savage,
Minnesota.    It is printed verbatim and is not to be
re-published nor quoted in any newspaper or other
publication outside of relocation centers.---Ed.

   In an effort towards amelioration of its rulings un-
der the Selective Service whereby enlistment of nisei
personnel has been suspended since the outbreak of the
war, and in response to urgent requests from nisei cir-
cles pleading that nisei men of draft age be granted
the opportunity to prove their loyalty by enlisting in
the armed services of the United States, the War depart-
ment has now inaugurated a plan whereby such an oppor-
tunity is now presented to qualified nisei personnel.
   This opportunity is being
extended to nisei who can
meet the following quali-
fications, and is open to
both single and married
men alike:
   1. Applicant should have
at least a high school edu-
cation in this country, and
must have a fluent command
of the English language.
   2. He must have an ade-
quate command of the Japa-
nese language, both oral
and written.   He should
have facile use of "hira-
kana", "Kata-kana" and a
good number of "Kanji" nor-
mally used in written Jap-
anese.
   3. He must be physically
fit for field service.
   Men meeting the above
qualifications will be given
the opportunity of volun-
teering for enlistment in
the United States Army.
Recruiting officers will be
visiting this center in the
immediate future, and fur-
ther detailed information
may be had  from them.
   Applicants, after passing
the regular army phisical
examinations, will be in-
ducted and sent to the Army
language school for a fur-
ther intensive training of
six months, and upon corn-
              continued on page 3
FORM   74
REQUIRED
    Evacuees who are con-
templating on leaving this
center for private employ-
ment must file application
form 74 at the employment
office, whether or not they
have a specific job in mind,
advised Clarence Moore,
chief of employment and
housing.
   The application must be
cleared in Washington be-
fore an indefinite leave
can be issued. Such an ad-
vance clearance will prevent
unnecessary delay when the
evacuee has an immediate
prospect of a job.
   Said Moore, "Due to the
large number of Japanese
already in Denver, evacuees
should consider jobs in
eastern cities."

vailable at the building
