Gold Star Head
Scores Proposed
Japanese Return

LOS ANGELES, Oct, 19. — (®) —
The mothers of men who died in
World War I added their voices today
to the protests against any proposal
to permit resettled Japanese to re-
turn to the Pacific Coast.

Testifying before a state senate
fact finding committee, Mrs, Mar-
garet Benaphfl, president of the
Gold Star Mothers here, said her
organization already has petitioned
Washington in opposition to any
move to bring the Japanese, now in
relocation. centers, back to this war
industrialized area.

“We never want to see any of
them here again,” she declared.

Planned Coionization

Deputy City Attorney Fairfax
Cosby, formerly a Napa County
farmer, told the commititee that
Japanese infiltration on the west
coast started as early as 1905.

“First cam@ army officers, then
the picture brides and workers, and
then the Shinto priests,” he assert-
ed. He said he employed 16 Japa-
nese in 1905 and found they were
the vanguard of a large force of
regimented countrymen bent on es-
tablishing colonies here.

Warns Of Massacre
District Attorney Fred N. How-

ser said he believes the return of];

evacuated Japanese would touch off
a massacre,

Howser told a state senate com-
mittee yesterday he has letters from
three organizations informing him
their members are pledged to kill
any Japanese who are in California
now or after the war,

“T have talked to service men who
fought the Japanese in the South
Pacific and they ‘tell me they will
not hésitate to kill any Japanese
they see here or anywhere else. I
have talked to relatives of other
service men, some of them casual-
ties, and they say the same thing.
