dc.descriptionSummary on the subject of War Department restrictions on employment of Japanese Americans in war plants. Secretary of the Interior sent letter of 29 March 1945 to the Secretary alleging discrimination against Japanese Americans seeking war plant employment who are permitted to return to the West Coast. Enclosed reply for approval states the screening procedure of the Western Defense Command is for approving residence rather than employment (which is purview of the Provost Marshal General). Also states reasons for disapproval of employment of two individuals named in letter from Secretary Ickes. Mentions informal information not in the enclosed draft of War Relocation Authority personnel discouraging Japanese Americans from reporting to work as the personnel will lose their jobs upon the successful relocation of the evacuees.
