March 4 (Saturday)

Another person from Yakima Mr. Motoki [1] Kurokawa was sent to the camp. They say he was the sixteenth person to be detained. Because he had been the chairperson of the local Japanese association for the past five years, he would have been one of the first to be rounded up, but he finally got arrested on the 1st.

Mr. Isamu Okuda who used to live in Seattle got arrested while working on a railway in a remote place and was interned today. He is a nephew of the elder Okuda and also a reservist.

[1] First name could be different
