3, 4, 5 and 6 and Zones thereof, and
WHEREAS, the present situation within these Military Areas and Zones

Now, THEREFORE, I, J. L. DEWrrT, Lieutenant General, U. S. Army,
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the President of the United
States and by the Secretary of War and my powers and prerogatives as
Commanding General, Western Defense Command, do hereby declare
and establish the following regulations covering the conduct to be
observed by all alien Japanese, all alien Germans, all alien Italians, and
all persons of Japanese ancestry residing or being within the Military
Areas above described:
Prior to and during the period of exclusion and evacuation of certain
persons or classes of persons from prescribed Military Areas and Zones,
persons otherwise subject thereto but who come within one or more of
the classes specified in (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), following, may make
written application for exemption from such exclusion and evacuation.
Application Form WDC-PM 5 has been prepared for that purpose and
copies thereof may be procured from any United States Post Office or
United States Employment Service office in the Western Defense Com-
mand by persons who deem themselves entitled to exemption.
The following classes of persons are hereby authorized to be exempted
from exclusion and evacuation upon the furnishing of satisfactory proof
as specified in Form WDC-PM 5:
(a) German and Italian aliens seventy or more years of age.
(b) In the case of German and Italian aliens, the parent, wife,
husband, child of (or other person who resides in the house-
hold and whose support is wholly dependent upon) an officer,
enlisted man or commissioned nurse on active duty in the
Army of the United States (or any component thereof),
U. S. Navy, U. S. Marine Corps, or U. S. Coast Guard.
(c) In the case of German and Italian aliens, the parent, wife,
husband, child of (or other person who resides in the house-
hold and whose support is wholly dependent upon) an officer,
enlisted man or commissioned nurse who on or since December
7, 1941, died in line of duty with the armed services of the
United States indicated in the preceding subparagraph.
(d) German and Italian aliens awaiting naturalization who had
filed a petition for naturalizatioy and who had paid the filing
fee therefor in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before

capacitated to be removed therefrom without danger to life.

The applicant for exemption will be required to furnish the kinds of
proof specified in Form WDC-PM 5 in support of the application. The
certificate of exemption from evacuation will also include exemption from
compliance with curfew regulations, subject, however, to such future
proclamations or orders in the premises as may from time to time be
_ issued by this headquarters. The person to whom such exemption from
evacuation and curfew has been granted shall thereafter be entitled to
reside in any portion of any prohibited area, including those areas here-
