Full title:George Dotimoto, Japanese-American evacuee from the Gila River Relocation Center working at a power grinder in the G. & N. Manufacturing Company, Cleveland. George was trained as a machine shop worker at an engineering school in Oakland, California, before evacuation. At the relocation center, where his parents still reside, he was an assistant optometrist. He relocated to Cleveland in May, where he finds people more friendly, but also more curious than those in West Coast cities. Skilled workers are paid $1 an hour plus overtime; beginners 75 cents an hour plus overtime. Photographer: Brumbach Cleveland, Ohio.
