"By train and by auto caravan, 1000 men of Japanese birth or Japanese ancestry left Los Angeles yesterday for evacuation camp at Manzanar in the Owens River Valley. A stern-faced soldier acts as traffic director. Smiling Japs wave farewell to L.A." -- caption on photograph.
"Main complaint of the Japanese men is that they have nothing to do. Alternative is to watch someone else work. Curious groups gather wherever the white construction workers erect new buildings like this recreation hall. No Japanese labor is used here. Other Japanese men, inherently agile, stand in line to use the ping-pong table." -- caption on photograph.
