Notes of a New Yorker

Pearl Harbor Ellis Island New York

An article told of an orchestra leader who was having his dentures refurbished when the Japanese owner of the lab it was sent to was arrested as a result of Pearl Harbor, and the dentist who sent out the dentures was unable to retrieve it. The dentist was able to visit the lab owner and learned that the dentures were in a safe; and as the lab owner was giving him the combination, a guard overheard them and, believing sabotage/espionage information was being exchanged, had the dentist arrested.
