Zoot-suiters get praise from Tokyo
By the United Press
Tokyo radio said today the American zoot-suit wearers were “isolationist and anti-war fighters,” in a broadcast reported by the Office of War Information. Tokyo radio said:
They are strong courageous young men banded together into a nationwide army to express by physical force their disapproval of the war.
Commenting on the recent rioting between soldiers and zooters, Tokyo decided:
They [the zooters] are not afraid to spill blood – even their own blood – but they are intent on spilling it in their own country for their own sacred ideals.
Texas city quiet; 200 men questioned
Beaumont, Texas (UP) –
Peace returned to Beaumont’s bloody race riot streets today following a night-long session of a military court of inquiry. More than 200 men were questioned.
Most of the shipbuilding town’s white citizens had returned to work as order was restored by martial law and the Negro population contemplated a “Juneteenth” without celebration.
Tomorrow is Juneteenth, celebration day commemorating emancipation of the slaves. All festivities, however, have been cancelled.
Names of the men involved in the riots, many of them shipyard workers, will be turned over to the State Selective Service. Some of the men with occupational deferments may lose their draft status.
