Full title:Henry Suenaga (reading newspaper) from Manzanar, and Ben Nishiyama from Poston, relaxing in a section of one of the men's dormitories at Evergreen Hostel, Los Angeles. Both are looking for homes. Ben first went to Minneapolis from Poston, and Henry to Mississippi from Manzanar. They enjoy the comfortable dormitory and good meals at low cost at the Evergreen Hostel. Conditions in Los Angeles are good, and there are jobs though not as many as the east--but finding a home is a tough proposition, the young men say. That goes for anyone, any race. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Los Angeles, California.
