Dear Sirs:
Goold you put me in contact with the purchasers
or present holders of the stocks of Japanese book
stores?
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

Dear Mr, ..anke:
This will respond to your letter of June 6, 1942
in which you make inquiry concerning the possibility of finding
a supply of Japanese dictionaries and grammars,
e have had cur representative contact two or three
well known Japanese at the Assembly Center in North Portland
and through them have made extensive inquiries concerning the
possibility of finding aictionaries and grammars, te also
had our representative contact the present o ner of Teikoku
Coti5 >any a general merchandise store formerly owned by Japanese
but recently sold to a Jewish purchaser. At one time they
had several dictionaries but we are informed that none is now
available,
e have located no grammars.
he regret we cannot give you more encouragement but
feel that neither dictionaries nor grammars can be found in
this vicinity.
Very truly yours,

PORTLAND BRANCH
Evacuee Property Department
March 30, 1942
Miss Teruko Maruyama,
539 South Ivy S t•,
Medford, Orecon.
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.

Certificate of Title
E. N. 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.

Porter Building
Portland, Oregon
Dear Mr. Crouch:
In accordance with your telephone conversation of today with
our office, regarding the securing of storage space for household goods
of evacuee—Japanese, we wish to advise you that we have available prop
erties containing from 5>000 to 1^5*000 square feet, at varying rentals.
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

Bear Sir*
I have your letter of April 16th relative to the cancellation by this
agency of fire insurance policies carried by Japanese people in this vic
inity.
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. Vice President, continental Insurance com
pany, 60 Sansome St., San Francisco, California who was very emphatic about
the cancellation of
T ru stin g
this
such p o l i c i e s .

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.
Yours truly,
Cashier.

Dear Mr#

In view of the necessity for quick action in
matters pertaining to the evacuation of Japanese aliens
and others of Japanese descent, we suggest that you check
all properties coining under your supervision which are
occupied by Japanese, either as renters, lessors or owners#
businesses
Proper disposition should be made of their
prior to the final evacuation order being issued#
In -any instances, these arrangements will involve
considerable d tail :na take time to settle# This office
stands ready to assist in any way we can in order to avoid
the many complications that 411 develop should abandonment
be forced on the evacuee, due to time and lack of foresight#
e urge your coo )eration.
Very
truly yours,

Gentlemen:
Kayoji Tsuboi who formerly resided at 7029 S. £. Gladstone, Portland,
Oregon is a Japanese Who was taken into custody by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation during Parch, 1942.
Prior to the time of his being taken into custody Kayoji Tsuboi was a
recipient of public assistance as follows: General Assistance from
state and county funds from December, 1939to and including Pay, 1941,
$68,755 Old Age Assistance from May, 1941 to and including February, 1942
at the rate of $30.00 per month for a total of $300.00. The Old Age
Assistance was furnished from federal, state and county funds combined.
A rumor has reached this agency to the effect that Tsuboi was in possess
ion of considerable financial assets at the time he was taken in custody
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If this is a fact, Tsuboi was
obtaining assistance to which he wus not entitled and this agency would
be entitled to reimbursement for such assistance.
If, in order, will you kindly advise as to the amount of assets of Kayoji
Tsuboi which have come into your hands as well as the proper procedure to
be followed by this organization in obtaining recovery of the amounts ad
vanced .
Yours very truly
