Headlines vs. Facts
A subcommittee of the Dies Committee on Un-
'Vmencan Activities made daily headlines out of testi-
mony taken in Los Angeles and at the Poston reloca-
tion center where Japanese-Americans are being held.
The general impression of newspaper readers must be
hat the War Relocation Authority is doing a pretty
ilovenly job.
A competent news service man who was present
during much of that inquiry wrote the testimony
neard by the committee—but his eyes and ears, out-
iide the hearings, told him a different story.
"The gist of the testimony was that the evacuees
it Poston were harboring large quantities of food,
ivere rioting, and were preparing to join Japanese in-
vasion forces when the 'expected' attack was launch-
ed against the United States.
To the disinterested observer the testimony was so
Fantastic it was ludicrous," reports this correspondent
Cellars beneath barracks supposed to conceal
nordes of food proved to have been dug as refuges
From 130-degree heat; they contained a few dirty
mattresses and cots, but no food.
Evidence of food waste, introduced by the commit-
tee's expert investigator, consisted of a half-eaten
:heese sandwich found at a warehouse where evacuee
workers had eaten lunch.
"The committee heard that a large supply of dyna-
mite had been stolen from a spot "three miles from the
Parker Dam within the past 90 days.' In the conver-
sation at dinner, it developed that the dynamite had
been stolen three years ago."
The committee's visit to the Poston center produc-
ed evidence disproving much of the testimony received
at Los Angeles. But while the testimony was on the
ecord. and received wide publicity, the late disproof
did not seem to the committee to be worth passing
jlong to the public.
This is the type of inquiry which originally got the
Dies Committee into disrepute. Chairman Dies him-
self was not along on the relocation survey, and there-
fore remains in position to clear the record by making
public the real facts as distinguished from irrespon-'
sible testimony received, in part at least, from dis-
gruntled ex-employes of the WRA.

Today allied troops were fan-

and up to midday there was

Our troops are meeting only
light opposition so far and the
civilian population is reacting well
to our landing and cooperating
in every way.

town which our troops occupied
without much trouble offered to
