of attorney to dispose of the aforementioned, failed to carry out his
obligations. Said attorney communicated with Minamoto once since
evacuation and then disappeared from the scene.
LAUNDRY; Mr. Yokomizo was a successful laundry operator prior to
evacuation; he had two panel trucks, up-to-date equipment, and a fairly
new plant. Due to the unpredictable future, he sold all his worth at
a $4,800 loss. Besides that, Yokomizo had his household furniture and
personal property stolen by tenants of his home; this loss amounted to
$2,000.
OPTOMETRIST; Chief loss incurred by Dr. WeHara, prominent optician and
civic leader, was $50,000 upon sale of three business-drawing offices in
Oakland. It is hard to estimate the amount of good will he lost. His
legal expenses were high.
GARDENER: Gardener Oda lost $100 in gardening tools and $400 on disposal
of pickup truck at time of evacuation. A good will loss of $2,000 was
reported by him. Due to evacuation order, he left his residence with all
his belongings within premises. Upon his return to Berkeley in 1945, he
discovered the tenants had walked off with $600 worth of household goods,
automotive tools and equipment. Deterioration of his building due to
neglect was substantial.
CONCLUSION If a complete and comprehensive survey is made concerning
evacuee personal, real, and commercial losses, we are positive that other
kinds of losses would show up.
WE STRONGLY URGE THE PASSAGE OF EVACUATION CLAIMS BILL H. R. 2768.
