personal services. If this language were omitted I understand that such contracts might be questionable.

The CHAIRMAN. You are also asking authority to purchase uniforms for internal security officers. Are they in uniform now?

Mr. BARROWS. No; this is for personnel at the Tule Lake center, where we need the stronger security force, and we feel that they ought to be in uniform. We have no legal authority to buy uniforms and at the present time the problem of recruiting personnel would make it much more difficult.

The CHAIRMAN. How much expense is involved per person, and what would be the total cost, the over-all cost?

Mr. MYER. It would not be very large; probably there will not be over 50 persons involved in that item.

Mr. BARROWS. I might add that this was included since the estimate was prepared so there is no money set up in here, but we believe there will be money enough to meet it.

The CHAIRMAN. You can supply that figure?

Mr. MYER. Yes, sir. It will not exceed $125 per person.

The CHAIRMAN. You are also asking that the amount received from license fees and from fines that are reflected in the administrative item be added to the special funds. How much would be involved? Mr. MYER. There is a very little amount involved, Mr. Chairman. That is put in very largely because of the practical problem we have of law enforcement in the center. It is felt that our judicial commission would be much more likely to assess fines on a sound basis if they thought these fines were going into a fund that might be utilized in connection with the center's development, and it is a very small item, and inserted for that practical purpose.

The CHAIRMAN. How much is in this special fund?
Mr. MYER. In the special fund, $90,000.
The CHAIRMAN. How much do you use?

Mr. BARROWS. We have not used any of it.

EVACUEE EMPLOYMENT BY ACTIVITY

The CHAIRMAN. In conclusion I would be glad if you would give us a statement similar to the statement we had placed in the record last year at page 777, showing the personal services of evacuees by activity and the amount paid. It can be made up in comparative columns showing both the number and amount for 1944 and also for 1945.

Mr. MYER. We will be glad to supply that. (Information requested follows:)

Comparative statement of evacuee employment by activity

[blocks in formation]
[blocks in formation]

The CHAIRMAN. I see from the green sheets that the total estimated to be paid in 1944 is $7,276,783, and in 1945 it decreases to $7,083,144, while the appointive paid personnel seems to go up, net, about $900. Mr. MYER. That is right.

ISOLATION CENTER IN ARIZONA

The CHAIRMAN. Is there anything further?

Mr. MYER. There is one further statement I would like to make, Mr. Chairman: In my remarks a year ago I told you that we had an isolation center at Leupp, Ariz., and during the first part of this year we closed that center. Because of the situation at Tule Lake we now expect about the middle of May to reopen that center in order to take care of a small number of recalcitrant evacuees at Tule Lake, who were involved in the trouble there, in order to remove them from the local scene.

It is expected to be operated as a part of the Tule Lake center; simply be a small isolation center under the general administration of the Tule Lake set-up. I wanted you to know that although we had closed that isolation center it would be reopened because we find there are some 75 or 100 people to be moved to this isolation center

soon.

The CHAIRMAN. There are only about 100?

Mr. MYER. There may not even be a hundred, but probably a hundred at the beginning, and it may increase or decrease, depending upon developments.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much; you have made a very satisfactory presentation.

Mr. MYER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
