I am trying to find supplies of Japanese dic tionaries and grammers, which are important now in view of the greatly increased study of the language especially by the armed services. Some Japanese book stores, I understand, had been sold to citizens by their owners prior to evacuation, while others may still be in possession of the Japanese. If there is any provision in the control laws which would permit negotiation for the latter stocks, I would appreciate your advice. In case this is a matter which your office does not handle, would you kindly let me know to whom I should write. Sincerely yours Douglas 2.

Dear Miss Maruyama: Reference is made to your inquiry of March 28, 1942 covering the disposal of properties and other matters pertaining to evacuation. Since your letter gives us no detail as to the property problems with which you are faced, we are unable to give you any definite advice. The only specific question you ask is regarding the status of mortgages on property owned by a person subject to evacuation orders. In a case of this kind it w ill be necessary for you to make some arrangements with the mortgage holder looking towards protecting your equity in the properties during the evacuation period. Possibly the amount s t i l l owing can be refinanced on a basis requiring no payment other than interest or taxes during the period. Perhaps the present mortgage holder would make such, an arrangement with you. The p ossib ility of renting or leasing the pro perty for sufficient income to take earo of the mortgage payments should not be overlooked. No information has been received by us up to the present time which indicates that any governmental agency w ill be empowered to make payments on debts of th is char acter as they become due and we have no reason to believe that such an arrangement w ill be made in the future, 've strongly urge therefore, that you use every effort to arrange the debt so that your equity in the property w ill be protected. Incidentally possibly you might receive some additional help through a discussion of your problems with the U. S. Employment Agency branch in Medford. services can be helpful.

Crouch At the time the Japanese were evacuated from the coastal defense area, a loan was made to the above individual to purchase the chattels be longing to a certain Japanese. A mortgage was taken on the acquired chattels and as security, title was supposed to have been taken in favor of the United States, as represented by the Farm Security Adminis tration, on a 1934. Chevrolet truck, motor number T4.IOI698 , serial num ber 6FD3203, but inadvertently the name of the Federal Reserve Bank appears as legal owner on the title certificate issued. The registered owner, Mr. *-<enard, has now paid his loan in full and re quests that the Farm Security Administration, who is handling the collection of the loans made to purchasers of Japanese property under the ./CCA program, release the above truck to him. Since the United States Federal Reserve Bank was shown as legal owner in error and since the Federal Reserve Bank has no interest in the above truck, we hereby request that you release the certificate of title number D362615, herewith enclosed, by endorsing it on line 2 on the back and returning it to us.

One building we have in mind, which we believe would be particularly suitable for your purpose, since it is of brick and concrete construction, is the building occupying the souare block between West Burnside Street, Couch Street, 13th and 14th Avenues. It is at present occupied by Packard-Portland, distributors of Packard automobiles, and by Chrysler Motors. The building is so arranged that it may be divided into four separate buildings, so that any amount of space you might desire could be taken snd absolute privacy afforded. There are two large freight elevators which can be used to take trucks into the building to any floor, as well as a passenger elevator. There is a ramp to another portion of the building. If we can determine what amount of space you will need, we believe we can work out a rental figure which will be in line with your desires. We should appreciate your advising us in some detail just what type of building, amount of space, and price per scuare foot which you can pay, so that we may submit full details on what we have available. Please let us hear from you at your early convenience. Yours very truly Walter W.

I think you have been misinformed as to the representative of the Oregon Mutual Fire insurance Company which is represented in Gresham by Burton L* Walrad. However, I am told that the Oregon Mutual Fire insurance Company did cancel all their policies in which Japanese people or their descendants were interested. The North British and Mercantile Insurance Company re presented by this agency did not cancel any policy but declined to accept such business under authority of Thomas B. Thompson, State Agent, Mead Building, Portland, Oregon. The Continental Insurance Company of New York cancelled several of our policies, sane of them having stood for some time, demanding that policies be cancelled and returned to the San Francisco office by authority of H. C. Edmunds on.

D. Mix, Cashier, First National Bank of Independence, Indap eadence, Oregon • Dear Mr# I'lxi Terence is made to your letter of March 27* 1942 regarding making loans to Japanese nationals in your vicin ity who are operating under the terms of general licence No* 68 A* There are no governmental restrictions that we know of which would prevent financing such a grower engaged in the production of hops, or In fact any other activity. It is noted from your letter that arrangements have been ’;ade for an American citizen (we assume this means a person not subject to evacuation under the terms of the present proclamation) to take over the operation in the event that the present operator is required to evacuate# :uoh an arrangement is permissible and as a matter of fa ct, we have been encouraging a ll of those corning under the terms of the evacuation order to make similar arrangements wherever possible. Consequently the entire proposed transaction would seem to be permissable under present federal regulations. Whether or not you have sufficient protection from a credit standpoint would, of course, depend on the relia b ility of the new operator and uoon the certainty of completing the necessary arrangements to carry on the operation in the event the present grower is evacuated.

Dear Sirs: Please advise us procedure in making loans to a Jananese National engaged in the agriculatural business in this territory and operating under general license No* 68A. This client is engaged in the growing of hops and will need some ^2,000.00 in addition to advances which he will receive on hop contracts to bring his crop up to Harvest in September. This bank is perfectly willing to make the loan provided satisfactory arrangements to safeguard us in event Japanese are asked to evacuate this territory. He has arranged for an American citizen to operate the farm at a monthly wage in event he does go. Ip event arrangements can be made for the loan ve will take a chattel mortgage on the crop and machinery and equipment to secure it. Please advise us by return mail if possible. Thank you.

Gladstone, Portland, Oregon is a Japanese Who was taken into custody by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during Parch, 1942.
