Dies Group To Inspect Jap Camp Relocation Center
A three man sub committee of the Dies committee arrived in Arizona for a one day inspection of the camp housing evacuated Japanese and to probe possible agricultural work for them. The group will question War Relocation Authority officials and consider loyalty reviews and employment in war industries. Civil Liberties union representatives urged careful screening before any release and opposed beach work. The discussion touched on race prejudice and the role of organizations on the coast, with criticism of General Dewitt's evacuation decision and calls for broader inquiry.
