Kawakita Apprehended by FBI in Los Angeles
Tomoya Kawakita, an American of Japanese ancestry, was arrested by the FBI in Los Angeles after allegedly returning to the United States on a faked passport. He had previously gone to Japan in 1939 and worked at a camp near Honshu where ex-Sergeant William Leon Bruce, a former prisoner of war, recognized him in a department store. The incident occurs amid President Truman's three day holiday coverage.
