Beginning next week will be the general coast evacuation of enemy aliens and American-born Japanese as announced by military authorities.

The exact status of Santa Cruz was not disclosed but evacuation here was expected to follow in rapid order as other communities are cleared.

The army disclosed its intention to start the exodus next week from the Pacific coast, but details as to what communities would be first affected were not included in the information.

The army intends to move enemy aliens by previously classified groups, beginning with Japanese aliens and continuing with Japanese born in America, German aliens and Italian aliens, in that order.

EXEMPT

A first group, persons suspected of subversive activities, already have been taken into custody by federal agents and are in concentration camps.

So far as German and Italian aliens are concerned, evacuation reprieves have been granted for those 70 years of age or over and those with sons or brothers in the service. They will be permitted to remain in their present homes.

Ultimately those moved from this county may become members of a work army which was established Wednesday by President Roosevelt in an executive order. They will be taken first to reception centers. Where they will then be sent has not yet been determined.

One thousand Los Angeles Japanese, aliens and American-born, who have volunteered to lead the evacuation movement, will travel by train, bus and automobile to a reception center under construction at Manzanar, in the Owens valley, 300 miles to the north.

Lieut. Gen. John L. DeWitt, commanding the western defense command, announced the evacuation would begin from military area No. 1, an area roughly 100 miles deep along the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California and the southern section of Arizona.

"While the 10,000 leaving next week are co-operating and have volunteered to be the first to go," said DeWitt, "evacuation from the critical areas will continue.

"I encourage and urge the continuation of such movements as this first group has started. However, I desire to make it unmistakably clear that evacuation will be continued with or without such cooperation."

DWELLINGS

The wartime civilian control administration is erecting pre-fabricated dwellings at Manzanar in Owens valley for the evacuees. The camp will accommodate 10,000 persons. Additional camps will be built near Blythe, Cal., in the Palo Verde valley, and at other points not yet announced.

The camps will contain housing units of various sizes to avoid separating families and libraries, theaters, schools and churches of all denominations.

A 150-bed hospital, staffed by Japanese and operated under the U. S. public health service, will be established.

The first families probably will be assigned to truck gardens so the camp may be at least partially self-sustaining. Later occupants may embark on such ventures as commercial fish hatcheries, poultry farms and light industries. Clayton E. Triggs, former relief administrator of Los Angeles, will be resident manager of the Manzanar center.

Japanese assigned to the camp will remain until they can be permanently located in states east of the Rocky mountains. Resettlement details will be handled by the war relocation authority, which President Roosevelt set up Wednesday.

All evacuees will be given an opportunity to enlist for employment with the war relocation work corporation, on jobs that will contribute to the war effort. Enlistments will be made on a voluntary basis."
