Nisei Student Held in County Jail

Gordon K. Hirabayashi, 24-year-old University senior charged with failing to register for evacuation, today was being held in county jail in lieu of $5,000 bond, the United Press reported last night.
Hirabayashi said he was a “conscientious objector” to evacuation and as such thought it was not necessary to register for evacuation last week.
Hirabayashi was arraigned before the U.S. Commissioner yesterday and bound over for Federal Grand Jury action.
Mrs. Mary Farquharson of the Seattle Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union said Hirabayashi’s case would be backed by the organization.
