The identification of the Warren family with California is perhaps best captured by Kevin Starr in

These casualty figures are derived from two documents: “State Summary of War Casualties,” prepared by the Navy Department, lists 6,446 Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard combat deaths, as well as 266 prison camp deaths. It also notes that 70 men were considered missing. “World War II, Honor List of Dead and Missing, State of California,” published by the War Department, tabulates Army and Air Force casualties. It cites 16,916 California fatalities (killed in action, died of wounds, died of injuries, etc.), and 106 missing, for a total of 17,022 presumed fatalities. Both documents are available through the National Archives' online holdings:

Los Angeles Times
, Dec. 18, 1944 (Associated Press transcript of Warren statement). The FBI, whose director, Hoover, had opposed the internment, commented on Warren's defense of the returning Japanese with a notable lack of charity. Warren, a bureau memo signed by Agent R. B. Hood observed, “saw it was politically expedient to stand behind the Army and was quoted in the Los Angeles press as addressing an appeal to the people of California to respect and comply with the Army's orders.” Hood memo to Hoover, Dec. 8, 1948, FBI document 100-202315, Charns, Warren papers, Folder 78.
