Elsenhower, former land use coordinator for the department of agriculture. Within the authority was set up the war relocation work corps, designed to make the most effective use of the skills and abilities of persons to be relocated.The president, according to White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, has directed Eisenhower to design an evacuation and relocatipn program for the more than 100,000 persons involved. The establishment of military areas from which enemy aliens, and even some citizens of enemy alien extraction, are prohibited already has affected ab6ut 100,000 Japanese, and probably will be applied soon to Germans and Italians in the Pacificcoast area.All able evacuees will be given the opportunity to enlist in the work corps for the duration of the war, Early said, explaining that there was nothing compulsory about entering the corps, but that evacuees who do not enlist probably willbe on their own.
