Los Angeles Closes Towns to Men of Services
Nearly a dozen communities around Los Angeles were closed to U S seamen marines and coast guardsmen after navy officials expanded the out of bounds area to curb clashes with zoot suiters. Police reported outbreaks dwindled. 500 arrested, 150 injured in days of unrest. Governor Warren urged law enforcement and a citizens committee to address underlying causes. Mayor Bowron said no racial discrimination, law will be enforced. City Council moved to have Police Commission report and consider a city ban on zoot suits.
