Show Jap Return Ward Strike Chaplin Jury Choosing Crisis Near Makes Slow Progress To Be Expanded XT. Ickes Calls On All To Aid Movement WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary Ickes said today the Interior Department 111 expand its Relocation program to send resettled person- s- of - Japanese ancestry back to their west coast homes. ... , At the same time, he expressed belief that a large propor, the tion of the more than 35,000 Japanese-America- relocated in other parts of the country may choose to remain. Ickes emphasized that, there will, be no "hasty . mass move- ment ,of evacuees. His statement, following the War Department's revocation of the West Coast exclusion order, effective Jan. 2, said it is the responsibility of every American worthy of citizenship . . .. to do everything that he can to make easier the return to nor- - mal life of those-peop. . . They are entiled to their full constitutional and legal lights and perhaps something more than ordinary' consideia-tio- n because they have really suffered as a direct result of the war. In a real sense, these people, too, were drafted by their country. They were uprooted from . their homes and substantially deprived of an opportunity to lead a normal life. ThejT are casualties of war. of Of the 110,000 persons Japanese descent originally evacuated, said Ickes, more than 35,000 have been by the WRA outside the West Coast area. The great majority of these, he - asserted,, adjusted in their new locations ?nd will probably want to stay where they are . Many doubtless now of them will make arrangements for having their parents and other family centers members still at the at vcome out and rejoin them their new homes. There-we- re originally ten centers to which West Coast Japanese were evacuated. One later was closed and another was set up as a segregation exarea for those who had pressed preference for the cause of Japan. The WRA program calls for returning only those whose resettlement plans are approved by WRA. They will be eligible for travel assistance which the authority' now extends to those reparts of the locating in other ' country. Travel assistance includes payment of rail or bus fare to the point of relocation and transfer of personal propegties, such as household furnishings. Since most of the evacues at the relocation centers have had t. ns le.

With a midnight deadline for company compliance with War Labor Board directives in seven cities less than 12 hours away, WLB Chairman William H. is voiced a new appeal to the concern, saying that continued defiance of the government could prolong the war.
