Yet, because the United States is still at war with Japan, there are some elements cf the population who fecm to believe that anyone of Japanese ancestry must be kicked around. In the first five months of 1S45, there have been 70 "incidents" of threats or terrorism agait t , Japanese-Americans who have attempted to re- f turn to their pre-war homes after bejrg released.. -from War Relocation Authority centers. Sixty- , five cf the incidents have been in California. Nineteen cf these cases have involved shootings. i Ninetv per cent of the shootings have been in four J cr'-il C--l;rorn:a counties Merced, rresno, tviacteira ana iuwiu. None cf the s hootings has been fatal, but there have been several ; near roisse?, an attempted dynamiting, several cases of setting fire ; to houses in which Jr.oanese-Americans were living, labor disturb- I c-ccs in which men refused to work alongside descendants of Japa- : ne-e and a number of visits by local citizens who have threatened , bodily harm to the Japanese-Americans if they remained in the area. THE significant thing about all these incidents is that there have , A been no convictions of thc offenders. ) To W R.
