Army Blocks Pacific Coast Jobs for Japs
Lt Gen John L Dewitt’s assertion that a Jap is a Jap halted a plan to return 110000 Japanese evacuees to useful work on the Pacific Coast. The administration seeks to move American born Japanese to Eastern farms homes and industry. Seven arrive to work on Harold L Ickes Maryland farms with Sam Rice. War Department may back the Pacific Coast plan but Dewitt’s stance risks delaying it. A joint army navy FBI board investigated the relocation effort amid labor shortages and wartime security concerns.

Labor Balks At No-Raise Pay Rulings Across War Board
Washington April 16 The Congress of Industrial Organizations joined the American Federation of Labor in opposing President Roosevelts wage policy under the no raise rule. AFL CIO labor board members denounced the order as unjust and said it violates the wartime tri partite agreement. They argued the Little Steel formula cannot correct gross inequities without undermining the war effort. The dispute followed the Universal Atlas Cement wage decision and a wave of union protests to the policy.
