Bever writes: “With further reference to the Japanese problem in Powell and the State. Since you received the copies of letters the city council directed to Secretary Ickes and Guy Robertson requesting that the Heart Mtn. Relocation Center be entirely evacuated of Japanese after the war and that they be not permitted to visit in and out of Powell as they are now doing, we have had replies to these letters and have also met with Guy Robertson to discuss the matter. The city council agreed with Mr. Robertson that if the same authority that brought the Japanese to Heart Mtn. would make a positive statement in writing that they, the Japanese, would all be removed from this location at the end of the war, we felt that the people would be more tolerant in permitting a limited number of Japanese to visit in Powell. Mr. Robertson state he would endeavor to get such a statement, to date we have received no such statement, unless same is forthcoming, the authorities of Powell will remove any and all Japanese coming into the city from the Heart Mt. Center on visiting passes.” Etc.
