Mr. and Mrs. Winfield Ward
Pomona, Missouri
Pear Mr. and Mrs. Ward:
Appreciate very much your letter of the
Twentieth.
I am assured that despite numerous news-
paper statements on the question, a wage policy in
connection with public work by Japanese evacuees has
not been determined. Enclosed is a report of the War
Relocation Authority, which may be of interest to you.
Every effort is being made to get employers
to relax some of their rules in regard to birth
certificates. If you are having difficulty along this
line, I suggest that you write to the Census Bureau.
They do not furnish birth certificates, but they are
sometimes able to furnish records which are accepted
by Federal, State and other officials as evidence in
support of age and place of birth.
The pension act to which you referred has been
repealed.
I appreciated having your views on these
subjects.
Sincerely yours,
Harry s. Truman
