Manzanar, Calif. — One of the American-born Japanese detained for the duration of this war fought for Uncle Sam in another — the Spanish-American.
Harry Noboteru Sumida was a gunner's mate on the battleship Indiana. He was wounded by a shell, and now his left leg is paralyzed so he can hardly walk. He is in the hospital at the war relocation authority camp here. Sumida spent his boyhood in New York. He is 71.

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
