Description
The chief source of news interest at this time is the coming segregation of disloyal evacuees. The center selected to house the segregated persons, Tule Lake, was announced by Harvey Coverley, director of the project on July 25. The announcement was covered by AP, UP, and INS. An official announcement made the following day by Director Myer from Denver carried a four-point explanation of the selection of Tule Lake: (1) size; (2) adequate agricultural land is available for work opportunities and subsistence; (3) a large number of potential segregees are present in the Tule Lake population; (4) the center lies at the edge of the evacuated area. AP and UP reports were carried by numerous scattered papers.
