TO THE YOUTH:

~ lIS (I)

.\ Ian Kumamoto. Mike Su-1l1ki, {lnd J spent A few houra culting up the Youth Pro­!!Yam with specific relation­ship to the- Convention.

As zero hour nppronches t"orybody tends to get ner­vous About prcpar ntions. JIm not Jtoin,g to rehash our talk, bu t I did WOllt to use thi. flpacC' to spcnk my piece to the JACL youlh.

We adul ls a re o rten guilty of projecting our own feel­ings onto others and junlpinl! to conclusions, AS I guess yonth do too.

In my cast' T want to be ~ur e tha t r know what I'm lalltilljl aboul when I sa.)' that JACL's sponsorship Of a J r . .1 ACL proj!\'am has its I'ools In the encouragement of good t ltize.nsh ip and leadersh ip de­, relopmcnt.

Su re, soclals and lun have their place as do olher th ings that J ACL youth do. But Citi­zenship and Leadership De­velopment are the unique cornerstones upon which the J r J ACL program is based.

]( I'm fi ght. then I want to Invite lhe J r. J ACL a t San Jose, to come up ' !l ith its own "pla t form " for a solid pro­gram.

Whal Is its idea o[ organi-7.aliona) responsibili ty to im­plement " good citizensh ip"']

In this crazy. lragically m ixed-up socie ty of ours. what is its idea of leadership r esponsibili ty?

In a nutshell when a J r . .r ACLe)' says the J ACL " isn't d oin~ anything". is "back­ward" , "old fashioned". or ac­cuses us of being responsible for a "generation gap". what i $ it h e or she wanls JACL to do'?

In NC-WNDC. the JACL and J r . JACL h ave united to p ioneer a tutorial program. Is this what you mean"' 1 ( so. what other specific programs can we unite on"'

Believe il or nOlo Ihe J ACL is asking for your ideas. Not only asking for ideas. bul for your actual and active push toward helping us make J ACL m ore d ynamic.

We may not buy all your ideas. but we will not shut them out by nol lis lening.

You. as J r. JACLers, mee t apart from us. do things apart. and h ave differenl interests but. on the serious side oC J ACL, w e need to communi­cate.

I hope that lhe F riday ;litemoon youth /adult session at San Jose will stir up some dialogue on this point.

RESPONSmILITY?

The constant example that . tatus and high ollice do not guarantee responsible behav­ior was again demonstrated in the disgusting spectacle con­ducted by certain U.S. Sen­a tors in the uinquisition" ot J ustice Fortas.

The relaled outraged reac­tion of some public officials to lhe quoted s latement of U.S. Attorney General Ram­sey Clark. that the a(lacks against Fortas were at least partially moti va ted by the at­tilu de of those Senalors who are against civil rights deci­sions. is either p athetica lly n aive or pOlitically motivated.

You only have to look at the Senators involved, their antics. language and record. to recognize the efficacy ot Clark's comments.

STUDY OF SUBCULTURAL FACTORS IN

Japanese ~mericans and n T~ m . ber s am~ng his more mtllnate fnends several I S~ I , lI1 .cl u~m g those wbo attended Whittier College With lum JlIst before World War II. As a Congressman and later as United States enator, and as Vice President in Ihe Eisenhower Admini tration, he came to know the problems and the aspirations of .Amer ic a~. of Japane e ancestry better than Illost nahonal poliltcal leaders. .-\s a candidate in 1960 for thi sa llle hi g~ l resp~n­-ibility, Ul any Japanese Americans were qUIte active in his campaign. ..' .

From now until Nov. 5, It IS antiCipated that more Americans of Japanese origin than ever befor<:, par­ticularly in California, the most p.opulous State In the nation with more Japanese . Amerlca~s than al!ywhere else on the continental malllland, Will be active p.ar­ticipants in what promises to .be another close elec\lon rivalling that of 1960 when NL'{on lost to the late John F Kennedy by only a lillie more than 100,000 votes of almost 70 million cast that ovelllber.

Five 'isei attended the ational Convention in official capacities, one as an official delegate and four a alternate delegates.

The onlv official delegate was tephen aka huna of an Jose. Alternate delegates were Mrs. Toshiko Yamamoto of East Los Angeles, and Thomas T Togu­chi of aalehu, Mrs. Patricia F. aiki of Honolulu, and Clinton I. hiralshi of Lihue, all of Hawai i.

:llany ' isei in the tate of Waslungton are person· ally acquainted with Governor Daniel J Evans, the young Chief Executive who delivered the keynote address to the Convention opening night. 1Il0st Japa­nese AmericallS are looking fonvard to hearing Ha­waii's Senator Daniel K. Inouye keynote the Demo· cratic National Convention the night of Aug. 26. Com­parisons between these two young but attractive na· tional spokesmen for their re~pective parties will be inevitable. And the nomination of the surpri Ulg and relatively unknown Maryland Governor as the vice presidential candidate for the Republicans hould en· hance the chances that the first Japanese American to be elected to the Congress may be named the run­ning mate to the Democratic Party's presidential can­didate. He has a most influential champion in the Senate's Majority Leader, Mike l\1ansCield of 1Il0ntana.

And many more Japanese Americans will remem­ber former Sen. William F. Knowland of Oakland, who appeared to be returning to political power once again in the California delegation, the biggest at the conclave. The Oakland newspaper publisher who once had presidential ambitiollS himself, this time was a leader in the unsuccessful Governor Ronald Reagan for President movement.

Chicago Nisei can look back on the role played by therr senior Sen. Everett Dirksen, the IIlajority Leader and Convention Resolutions (Platform) Committee Chairman, not only in serving as an elder statesman to the conclave and its principal policy architect but as the one who probably stole the show, especially over TV, in presenting the party's 1968 campaign platform.

Most evacuee Japanese Americans will also recall Harry P. Cain. former Mayor of Tacoma, Wash., who was the only West Coast Mayor in the spring of 1942 who opposed the Evacuation. Later a United States Senator who was particularly effective in influencing his coUeagues to vote for the naturalization provisions for the Issei m the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, he is now a real estate broker in Miami. He was for New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, though he was an associate of Nixon's in tbe Senate many years ago.

And the only American of Asian ancestry ever to be nominated for the presidency, Hawaii's Senator Hiram Fong, was again nominated as his State's fav· orite son candidate. He was first so nominated four years ago, when the Republicans met in San Francisco and nominated then Sen. Barry Goldwater as their unsuccessful White House aspirant.

As for the Republican Party's platform itseU, there is little in it of special concern to JACL.

On immigration, for instance, the Party's plank or pledge read: "The principles of the 1965 Immigra­tion Act-Ilondiscrimination against national origins, reunification of families, and selective support for the Amercan labor market-have our unreserved hacking. We will refine this new law to make our immigration policy more equitable and nondiscriminatory."

As a part of its pledge concerning "Domestic Policy", the platform said: "In many areas poverty and its attendant ills afflict large numbers of Americans. Distrust and fear' plague us all. Our inner ci ties teem with poor crowded in slums. Many rural areas are run down and barren of challenge or opportunity. l\hnonlles among us - particularly the black com­munity, the Mexican-American, the American Indian­suffer disproportionately."

Republicans pledged: "Energetic, positive leader­ship to enforce statutory and constitutional protections to eliminate discrimination; (and) Concern for the unique problems of citizens long disadvantaged in ow' tolal society by race, color, national origin, or sex."

Denver, Colo. A MAN OF WORDS-As increasing numbers of

Nisei approach professional maturity, more and more of them are attaining positions of preeminence in their chosen fields . There are, for example, Mmoru Yamasaki in architecture: Dan Inouye, Spark M ~ lsu ­

naga and Patsy Takemoto Mink in politics: John Ma­tsushima m the science of cattle nutnl1on, and others too numerous to mention here in the various special­ties of medicine, biology, baclcri~logy , e lectro\ll~s ,

lasers, space technology and the hke. No uch lIst would be complete witho.ut the name of . ({or Samuel 1. (for lshiye) Hayakawa, undoubtedly lhe most widely known semanticist in the country, who has been re­ferred to as the high priest of those who study ~nd teach the meaning of \~or~ s and the psychologIcal reactions of groups and mdivldual to the meamngs.

Dr. Hayakawa has been in these parts for a couple of weeks now givin" a series of lectures (usually sland· ing room only) at b the Univ. of Denver, and taking part as speaker and honorary program chairman of the International Conference on General Semanltcs.

Semanticists obviously are a very important part of society today, for even in Ule 1I10st basic relations between people-a woman talking to her husband, for instance-there is often lack of understanding because different words mean different things to the speaker and the listener. Like most scientists, the semanticists ironically have developed a language of their own which makes them very difficult to under­stand for ordinary folks. Hayakawa, fortunately, has a remarkably lucid, human, and humorous manner of speaking which may be one of the secrets of IllS

success.

A HERITAGE OF ENGLISH-How did Hayakawa, a Nisei, happen to become an expert in the use and meaning of the English language? Well, why not? It's the language he grew up with. But he had one advantage over most 1 isei; his father, Ichiro, was fascinated by English literature, read the classics voraciously, and early imbued Hayakawa with an in­tElrest in the subject. In fact, says Hayakawa, he was named Samuel after Samuel Johnson, the English author.

Hayakawa was born in Vancouver, B.C., although his father spent some time in the United States be­fore shifting to Canada, moved to eastern Canada at an early age, received his bachelor's and master's de­grees at Canadian universties, and his doctorate at the Univ. of Wisconsin. It was there that he gained his nickname, Don. Because of his British accent, which he has lost, and his bookish ways, he reminded his American friends of a don, who is a tutor or teacber in English schools. So he became Don.

But Hayakawa is no narrow pedagogue. He drives an Alfa Romeo, enjoyed a fishing expedition in Hawaii recently, and plays a not inexpert jazz piano. In fact, his remarks launched a session during the conven­tion titled "The Relevance of Trad.itional Jazz in 1968," having to do with the relationship of general seman­tics to jazz and the influence of jazz on intercultural communication.

• HAYAKAWA AND THE NISEI-Dr. Hayakawa's

home base is San Francisco State College, where he has lreen professor of English since 1955. He teaches only one seminar course, much of his time being spent in lecturing, writing, consulting and researcb. Al­though he is very much aware of his position as a Nisei and of his Japanese heritage, his interests and his work have isolated him largely from Nisei social life. Oddly enough he broke with the JACL with some sharp criticism when tbe JACL supported the Walter­McCarran immigration act, a law which perpetuated many racial inequities at the same time it provided naturalization for Japanese. And it was under this act tbat Hayakawa became an American citizen. It should be pointed out, and Hayakawa is aware, that the JACL also supported a later measure whicb corrected the racially discriminatory provisions of the Walter-Mc­Carran Act.

Next week we'll write about Hayakawa and his interest in the Negro problem. ~ll :E::::::::::::::::llll::::::lll:l:l:::llll::1Hllllf:llll::::::lll::::::::lllllllf:llllllmlllllllllllllllllllllll:1111111rl

Sciencc teacher Kitajima said the CCIC is also con­cerned with regional matters such as the uncontroUed fill­ing of San Francisco Bay.

He was later approached by two of the members at the Planning CommiSSion. and they were amazed that J ACL would take such a s t ron g stand on this issue, as they lelt that the Japanese people were not concerned about such matters. They were quite hap­py that the JACL telf that the San Francisco Bay was worth saving tor future gen­erations to enjoy.

Kitajima felt that the people of San Jose want Japanese American opinions on civic matters, and that, as an ethnic group, the J ACL has much to contribute to the growth of what will be California's third largest city by the year 2000. He encourages San Jose rcs­idcnts to relay their opinion and suggestions about improv­Ing the City, by writing to:

San Jose Citizens Community lmprovement Committee, clo Ken Kltajima . City Hall. Room 408, San Jose. Cal. 95110.

After attending the CCIC meetings, Kitajima comment­ed, "A-<s I sit in at the Com­mittee meeting, I always have the feeling that they wish to hear the JACL opinion ex­pressed. I hope that all JACL chapters throughout the Unit­ed States can have the oppor­tunity that we have in having a 'say-so' in city government".

Background and Arguments

Ills lory uf Ih. Emergency Detention Acl - During the McCul'thy ern, a g1'eat fear of Communist subversion led to passage o( the Internal Se­cu1'l ly Act or 1950.

The legislntlon was Intro­duced by Senator Pat McCar­ran of Nevada. but the crucial Title II was written by Con­gressman Som Hobbs of Ala­bama. Title If (Officially de­signated the "'Emergency De­tention Act", but commonly known as the "McCarran Act") provided tor the deten­tion &t potentially subversive persons during per i 0 d s of emergency.

Senotor MCCS1'l'an, himself, caUed Title II "a concentn­tion camp law, pure and sim­p le".

President Harry Truman vetoed the legislation, calling it "a long step toward totali­tarianism", but Congress over­rode the veto and it became law (50 USC 811-826). In keeping wllh the law, six de­tention camps were prepared and maintained from 1952 to 1957. Most of these camps were the old urelocation cen­ters"' which housed the Japa­nese Americans during World War II.

EventuaUy, the McCarthy era passed, and with it the paranoic lear of internal Com-

He cited Tille II of the Internal Secur­ity Act of 1950 as the appro­priate legislation that author­izes the detention.

What It Authorizes

Title II of the Internal Se­curity Act of 1950 authorizes the following:

I-The President of the United States may declare an "internal security emergency" In the event of: (a> Invasion of the territory of the United States or its possessions, or (b) Declaration of war by Congress. or (c) Insurrection within the United States in aid of a foreign enemy.

Comments

l-Since the law has never been used, it has not been tested for its constitutionality. The only way a law can be te~ted in court is for someone to be actually detained. Con­sidering all the human suffer­ing caused by detention, it is much better to repeal the law. l! took us three years before we were freed on a writ ot habeas corpus.

2-The Supreme Court has not made an unequivocal de­cision on emergen cy detention oC suspected subversives. In U.S. vs Mitsuye Endo, the Court held that the Civilian Exclusion Order did not au­thorize the War Relocation Authority (WRA) to detain citizens, who, at the admission of the WRA, are loyal. The Japanese Americans were re­leased to re-settle in the Mid­west and East Coast by this decision.

However, the EvacuatiQn and exclusion from the West Coast was justified because of military necessity in U.S. vs Toyosaburo Korematsu. The Court rejected the argument of racial prejudice and ignor­ed the fact the people uevacu­ated and excluded" were be-

Inconsistencies

The Emergency Detention Act is inconsistent with Amer­ican justice because:

I-The Act is aimed at per­sons who "probably" will en­gage in espionage or sabotage. There are many other laws applying to actual espionage agents and actual saboteurs, but this Act provides for de­tention of citizens on mere suspicion.

• NATIONAL JACL CONVENTIONS

JACL has comm~deered twenty national conven· tions since they were established in 1930 and through Ulese veal'S this "animal"-the Biennial National Convention~has fattened to a full-week affair.

We remember conventions which profited from the Labor Day holiday, starting the Friday prior to make it a four-day affair, and usually Labor Day was "getaway" day. Then it became difficult to reserve the smarter facilities that weekend so the conventions began to shift away from Labor Day-in fact, the national holiday advantage is not that important any more.

Ea.ch convention has its idiosyncracy-whether it be substituting baloney because Ulere wasn't enough steak to sen'e at an outing, banquets lasting sLx hours, passing the JACL budget in a midnight session after a Sayonara Ball, "high·balling" or ijerailing candidates for National offices, meeting your spouse-ta-be at a mixer, ejecting unauthorized personnel from the Coun· cil floor, getting fined at a 1000 Club whing ding be· cause the Convention Queen is your neighbor, the first joint assembly of youth and adult delegates at an opening session. Every haggard delegate can compile a similar list.

San Jose might now be remembered for serving coffee and doughnuts to delegates in the Council chambers so sessions would start on time-8 a.m., the earliest that National Councils have been slated to start. It used to be timed for 9 a.m.-but the stragglers and untippable service at the coffee shop tended to delay matters. So to be sure it would start by 9 the following biennium, the schedule fearlessly called for 8:30 a.m. , .. Now, it's 8 o'clock.

Because of haunting matters before delegates, the gorgeous docket of gustatory delight, and the need to travel al\'ay from the Hyatt House every day to meeL other schedules, we're sure President Jerry will be rapping the gavel before 8 a.m.-so the proceedings can start on time.

At least the working delegate will have an oppor· tunity to see the countryside this time, if he maintains a different route to the civic center area each time. This is a welcome change over some conventions in huge hotels where delegates can't chance to step out· side to see what the weather is like.

Whereas there were conventions with afternoon plenary sessions, there aren't any this year. The "p.m." beat will feature two forums, two major luncheons and a fashion show, the outing and special meetings.

Critics have said San Jose isn't a "convention town" - but we've been to so·called "convention towns" and so tied up lvith business that we never really saw the town-just between the airport and hotel.

Logistics (that's a word that Convention Board chairman Dr. Tom is slaying with his slide rule) has elicited a bigger role for the San Jose hosts-since cOllventioners are too numerous to be housed under one roof as at previous conventions. Logistics is en· abling all working delegates to get outdoors officially but also cutting into council time. Logistics in San Jose can he tackled because they're the Ichiban Chap­ter in membership. There is a little job for every member-if he isn't saddled with major responsibili· ties. They can enact the "host and hostess" role to the hilt.

This is the first time the National JACL Board meets over a two·day period. The last time at San Diego, the National Planning Commission discussions preceded the Board Meeting-so for the most board ~embers , it meant two days of head-shrinking. This ?me, the Planning Commiss.ion met earlier in the year 111 what turned out to be a three·day brain-drain.

In this era of specializing, the old JACL conven· tion format is disintegrating under its force. One of these day.s, the Jr. JACL will be convening separately, perhaps 111 the odd-years (so the adults can attend as b?osters-hey, kids, there's money to be ' made cate~1I1g to adult boos.ters). The Juniors might well consIder planrung therr fourth national convention ~or 1971-and save 1972 to enjoy the sights of Wash· 1I1gton, D.C., and environs as pure boosters. There's so. much to see in the Nation's Capitol, it would be a cnme of sorts to have to sit in meetings, let go all that bread to get there and then not visit all the at· tractions at leisure.

• • Three years hence may eliminate because of age

the pr~s e nt Jr. JACL leadership to stage a convention on theIr own when their talents and skill would be needed most. Perhaps, it can be ordained that there be a Jr. JACL "alumni" just to manage conventions ev~~y other year. Young men and women of proven abIlity should serve-for mistakes here will prove too costly to forgive because of ignorance or innocence.

We purposely chose the "alumni" tag rather than Young Adults. It should be a Jr. JACL affair from top to hottom. The Young Adults and Adults who would be attending would only be boosters. . .

AUGUST 23 ISSUE

There will be extra copies of the Aug. 23 issue at the JACL convention registration desks (adult and youth) on Wednesday (Aug. 21). We're tempted to sell them for 10 cents to avoid the criticism we didn't provide enough copies for delegates. We'd rather har­bor a "sold out" syndrome instead of an empty.handed complex. -------------------------------------------

letters from Our Readers Hirasuna VS. Masao~a Editor:

In tbe July 26 PC, F red HI­raSllna oJ Fresno asked for Import restrictions on straw­berries trom Mexico. He main­tained that the berry growers of California (75 pct. of them Nisei) were sutJering trom the cheap labor of the Mexican growers.

The wheel has traveled a complete cyde. Wasn't It just yesteryear when wbite Cali­fornians were hot under the collar about the unfair com­petition of our Issei parents who worked In the blazing sun trom dawn to dusk wit the womenfolk toiling along­side the men. The wblte rac­ists 01 that era suoght legis­lative relief in allen land laws and stoppage of Japanese im­migration.

Be that as it may, my con­cern is with the unbelievable smear in Hirasuna's letter.

Hirasuna questioned Mike Masaoka's motivations in de­fending tree trade among na­tions, implying that merce­nary considerations lay be­hind Mike's espousal of tree trade.

This type of canard is sick­ening. Perhaps someday peo­ple w III decide to disagree without becoming disagree­able. But until that millenium arrives, I should like to ex­tend to Mike Masaoka my deepest sympathy for this un­warranted attack on his in­tegrity and a1lirm my abso­lute confidence in him as an honorable human being. 1

New bibliography on

Japanese in Hawaii out By ALLAN BEEKMAN

HONOLULU - "The Japa­nese in Hawaii, 1860-1967", a bibliography by Mitsugu Ma­tsuda , historian with the So­oial Science Research Instl­tule of the University of Ha­waii, renders a great amount of material on the Japanele Immikrant. readily available to research, and thus gives a strong impetus to the move­ment of making known the role played by these pioneers.

The Institute also plans bib­liographies on the Chinese, Korean, and FilJpinlo Immi­grant. in HawaII and their descendants.

Now 37, the compiler of tjThe Japanese in HawaU" was born In Taiwan of Japa­nese parentage - his father irom Okinawa, hll mother Jrom Kagoshlma . He finished high school in Okinawa, gain­ed a B.A. degree from the University of Redlands, Calif., and an M.A. and Ph.D. trom the University oJ Hawaii. He worked On the bibliography about a year.

Eftec' of Pearl Barbor

Much material here In the -lapanese language was de­stroyed after the Pearl Harbor attack. At that time a rumor circulated that the authorities might wreck vengeance on those possessing records In the enemy language. Panic-strick­en Nikkel committed such records to tbe flames wIthout regard to the Innocuousnes. ot the documents or tbelr biJI­torical value. But tho ugh much was destroyed, mucb remains.

Matsuda has compiled 883 tlUes: 378 of Japanese lan­guage works; 505 of Englisb. He has appended an English translation to eacb J apanese title. To titlea of both lan­guages, he gives a brief En­glish language description of the contents, and teUs where the Item may be found - for example, among the various coliecUons at the University of Hawali, the State Archives, or the HawalJan Sugar Plant­ers' Association Library.

The items are grouped in such categories as Govern­ment Doc u men t s, Travel Agency Records Concerning Immigrants, General Books and Articles, and D i a r i e s. There are a lso subgroupings for the English language cate­gories.

The oldest work in Japa­nese is uHawaii", by Masaji Sedani, published In 1892, a survey of Hawaii's history, geography, industry and cus­toms; intended as an intro­duction for Japanese immi­grants. Modern English works include Jam e s Michener's "Hawail" and Jon H. Shlro­ta's "Lucky Come Hawaii".

At a recent meeting in Sac­ramento, chaired by James Murakami, NC-WNDC Cul­tural Relations Cbairman, aid­ed by Sacramento Area Chair­man, Henry Taketa, various groups and chapters got their heads together to lay some strategy.

It is possible that tbe cele­bration of this occasion in 1969 may be lied into a gen­eral commemoration of the centennial year, marklng the Orst organized arrival of im­migrants trom Japan.

If there are architects in­terested in submitting sketches for an appropriate monument, Sacramento Chap­ter prexy Tom Fujimoto, Chairman of the Monument Committee, welcomes the i r ideas.

Thanks to the Sacramento WomeD's Auxiliary, a deli­cious buffet luncheon was served to the people attending.

. 'Copping Out'

Today some of the Sa!'.'Iei explain their apathy and indifference to what's hIIppening to America and Americans by saying it is a part of our nature not to participate or get involved. Their parents and older relatives and friends never concerned themselves with matters that did not directly affect them. And they've never heard of a Nisei leading anything out­side of the Japanese Community. So it appears that apathy is an innate characteristic of the Japanese Community. So it appears that apathy is an innate characteristic of the Japanese American.

This may be brushed aside as a "cop out". But in doing so, we may also be practicing the game of "cop­ping out". It may prove more profitable for the Japa­nese community if these Sansei's explanation for in­action were accepted at face value and the reasons for this "feeling" were sought.

There appears to have been many good reasons. Let me just cite two. First, the Nisei after World War II and the Internment Camps had little or nothing, economically speaking. When the war ended, the strug­gle for economic security for themselves and family began. The end of the war did not spell the end of discrimination and hatred for the local "Japs" which made the climb toward the established goal doubly difficult and time consuming. There was little time for concern outside of family aside from involvement with Japanese Community organizations for concerted ac­tion to win civil rights for persons of Japanese ances· try and to provide a social liIe.

Second, the doors to the greater community were closed even if the Nisei were willing and able to par· ticipate.

It would be unfair, therefore, to fault the Nisei for their non·involvement. However, n'either can you blame the Sansei for believing that non· participation and indifference are part of our cultural heritage when this has for over 20 years been practiced by the Nisei for whatever "legitimate" reasons.

And it is not enough to say to the Sansei that it's not so-that indifference and inaction toward civic responsibilities are not part of our innate nature, cuI· ture or otherwise. But it will take action and not words to convince our youths. And our reasons for non· participation in the past lvill not stand up today.

Unless the Nisei meet their responsibility to set an example for greater civic responsibility, the majority of the Sansei may take the road to selfish indifference using the rationale that it's part of our cultural heri· tage. And after another generation, their statement would be correct.

Accent on Youth Alan Kumamato 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

A New Form Forward

If the Second Biennial National Junior JACL Con­vention had an emphasis, it would undoubtedly pra­ject the aspect of a change of format. A format that in some cases could be viewed as an innovative foot forward from the straight business form uWized in prior convenlion settings.

So what is new are "forums" focusing on the course and direction that Junior JACL is projecting to steer in the immediate years ahead. And to the observing youth who may cast his head aside and remark that this sounds like a rehash of the past he may sadly be mistaken.

These forums are designed away from the "hull· session" and more towards addreSSing themselves directly to the topic of "What Junior JACL is and what It should be".

A second discussion will lend itself to the "How" ... the "How to put what Junior JACL should be into reality."

It was significant In that the picnic was beld on a part ot the State Capitol grounds as a peaceful Uprotest" against the kind oJ racism symbolized by the California Convention ol the American Independent Party.

Our Assistant Youth Com­missioner Mike Suzuki, his family, plus us enjoyed the picnic. Although the effort could hardly be called a suc­cess in terms of numbers present, the small publicity received and the symbollc ef­fect was important. Since we live in a Democracy in which we believe that even people like Wallace should be allow­ed to peddle their brand of poison, it is vital that those Americans wbo reject bim be 35 conspicious as these whose curious concept of American­ism seems compatible with his ravings.

Another aspect of conventioneering will be the two joint adult/ youth discussions that will take place cen­tering about the issues of Civil Rights and the Genera· tion Gap.

Hopefully it will be a period to fonn a sensitive exchange of views as well as a sharing of philosophies intended to amalgamate a singleness of purposeful direction for the Junior and Senior organizations. The minimum, of course, being the listenin~ to each other as opposed to the domination of inI1u~ibie positions.

Nisei Basketball

Sacramento What began as one man's inventive spirit to oc­

cupy his leisurely hOUl'S soon caught others' imagina­tion and yearning for athletic competitiveness and <l.uickly developed into a national sport. While con­stdered a relatively infant, but rapidly maturing pastime, compared to its older brothers Baseball and Football. the sport of Basketball has gained world­wide recognition and proved fascinating for both par­ticipants and spectators.

Not unlike its patient and refined brother Baseball and its rugged Football. Basketball has its own per· sonality. Because of its inherited make - u~ , Basketball has been associated wilh tallness or height. During its early years. Basketball attracted men of all sizes with varymg perfected skills in shooting, passing and dribbling. However. height advantage fast became the desired goal of professional and colle~e teams through­out the country. What a championship team lacked ill coordinated effort, above-average shooting ability or fast-breaking speed, it was usually compensated with pint-sized jolly green giants, although for the oppos­mg team, this was far from a ho-hoing matter.

• What has always been interesting to this writer

with respect to basketball is the magnetism basketball has over Japanese Americans. With the exception of the African pygmies, we are, perhaps, the smallest rac!! . i!l t1.1e world .. Yet, of all. the organized sports activities m the Ullited States. mc\uding bowling, we were strangely atlracted to the one requiring the most height.

From Los Angeles to Seattle and from San Fran· cisco to Washington, thousands of Nisei Sansei and Yonsei are playing basketball in orga~ized teams many of whkh are actively sponsored by local JACL chapters.

. A~ valuable as Nisei b ask~tba ll is with respect to build.mg healthy bodl~s . teachmg good sportsmanship, keepmg children actively out of the streets, etc., it h~s ~o~eth~less be~ome a breeding ground for racial dlSCfumnahon. While. thiS may be a surprising state­ment. the fact remams: we openly exercise racism.

Through my long experience in organized Nisei bas~ etball leagues, J have been eX{losed to many and vaned league regulations concernmg race participa­tio ~. In some cas.es, it is Japanese only. In others, Chmese ar.e permitted, or you can participate if you are a fraction Jaj)anese. The regulation requiring that your blood contam one-quarter Japanese reminds this w~'lter of the U.S. Constitution, now amended, which stipulated that Negroes be considered a fraction of a person.

What is important about this subject is that JACL will be proposing this month an active prol!Tam to fight racial discrimination in this country. What bet­ter way to start this program than to clean-up our own back yard discrimination.

Years later the grave­sile of Tadantsu Motsudolra was located in Ihe Rlvcrsldc Cemetery in Denver, and a more substantial monument was dedicated by Ihe local Japanese in 1952. The where­abouts ot Malsudalra descen­dants, it any, were unknown at the time.

Kakutaro Nakagawa, one­lirne publisher ot the Colorado Times, had been inlrlgued by Matsudaira and began mak­ing inquiries In Denver. Hi! editor Kyosukc Abe pursued leads and came to John Mc­Neal, president of McNeal Mining Co.

the mooest ierrn "Woodwork­er" in describing his occupa­tion held an exbibit in Kyolo. One Japanese critic said, "On­ly a Nisei eould create such charming objects".

Nakashima's W 0 r k s are American in idiom and J apa­nese in its ,r!'1.yle-lessness'l, To create his objects, he used Ihe wood from bis own PennsYl­vania, New Jersey and sur­rounding area.

Catholic in taste, and em ­p irical in design, his furniture and interior furnishings are the epitome ot good laste and classic beauty. His chairs and benches, tables, and sofas, ra­dio cabinets, desks, stools and dressers, low Japanese style tables (constructed of a slab of wood) have a lImeless qua ­lity.

He has a charateristic J apa­nese 10 v e of material with which he works, almost rever­ent, and reveres the history of the wood he uses. He says:

"We have planks from a 300 year old tree that came from Ihe heart of Trenton, in which there were many bul­lets, some which may have been from the Revolution. We have English oak and walnut from the malured seedlings of the reforestation pro g ram started some 200 years ago, when the English forests were depleled by large scale sbip­building programs. It is our

particular function to give a creative touch to these mate­rials of natu.re in which na­ture has orten endured much longer Ihan Ihe life span of man".

The poet speaks, "To Ihose who have the eyes to see; the vigor of the sap layers around the perimeter of the tree, the nearly dead or dead heart­wood, the marks of drought or slorms in the libers and Ihe pain of foreign objects in its body all s pea k eloquently.

MANHATTAN ECHOES

Each tree has a character that is distinctive and each must be studied individually. Some are rich and some are poor, some hard and some soft, some are strong and some are weak-all in the same spe­cies".

In his coUee tables, where he uses a slab. he finds each slab a particular problem. and no two are alike. and crotch figures, knots, rotted out sec­tions and interesting profiles are used as expressions and not considered as defects. (We note that in Japanese cera­mics, sometimes, the r e are purposeless flaws, for nature is not perfect.)

His dining tables are often made with Cree edges (the profile of the tree as it is sawn Into lumber.)

Washington Newslelter-(Continued from Pagc 2)

As to "Human Development" and its section en­titled "The Poor", the platform declared that "This n.ation must not blink at lhe harsh fact-or the spe· clal demands It places upon us-that the incidence of pover: y is. consistently greater among Negroes, Mex­Ican-AmerIcans, IndIans, and other minority groupings than in the population generally."

A speCial section titled "Indian Affairs" noted the "national disl!\'ace" in the treatment of American Indians and Eskimos and promised them an "equal opportunity to participate fully in American society".

The plush Republican National Convention tried to put on an appearance of unity and harmony, which it generally man.at:ed to do except for a brief flurry over the vice preSidential nomination in order that con­fusion and bit' erness of its 1964 debacle could be for­gotten. Instead of conservatism, a middle-of-the-road approach to problems was taken.

Overall, the Convention was dominated by one Imn as few such nominating conventions ever have been­and that man was Richard Nixon.

Having experienced the professionalism and or­ganizations of Ihe Republican National Convention after participating in the National JACL Conventio~ next week in San Jose, we'll be off to Chicago and the Democratic National Convention the following week.

Western Painter

Henry Sugimoto, Los An­geles born, who spent most of boyhood in Japan, recently held an exhibit at the Wiener Gallery on Madison Ave. to­gether wilh Hiroshi Kado of Japan.

Sugimoto studied art in Pa­ris and was a friend ot the famous Fougita, known for his paintings of cats. Having trav­elled extensively in Mexico and E u r 0 p e, his paintings evoke the nostalgia of Europe and her people, and have a transitory quality as though we were looking at life at the moment n eve r to be seen again quite the same.

His paintings evoke wannth, love of life and nature. He has won numerous awards. Among Ihem: Gold Medal, San Fran­cisco World's Fair ; First prize, Salon J oaquin League ot Art­ists and Writers, and many others.

In Japan he exhibited at Ihe Internalional Modern Art As­sociation in Tokyo.

At the exhibit, we ran into Shig Kariya, long standing New York JACL member who manages the American Mer­cantile Co. A personal friend of the artist, he had taken time out from his busy sche­dule to see the exhibit.

A longtime resident of both New York and the West Coast (Fresno), Sugimoto has many Issei and Nisei friends. An­otber Nisei who attended the exhibit and who is a personal friend of the artisl is William Yenari of Queens, Lortg Is­land, N.Y. He and his wife are collectors of Sugimoto's paintings ... We were plea­santly surprised.

In aU Sugimoto had 22 paintings on exhtbit some en­titled, UPortrait of FougHa", "Skyline of New York", "Cor­ner of Montmarte", "The Old Mill', "Old MilJ ot Sorbonne" -aU tending 10 a Western orientation.

Mine Okubo, Image Gallery

Mine Obubo, born in River­side, Calif., with BA and MA degTees from Univ. of Calif., Berkeley, held an exhibit at

the Image Gallery In Stock­bridge, Mass. During Ihe '30s she did mural work in fresco and mosaic for the Federa l Arts Projeci. and travelled and studied in Europe on a Bertha Heniske Toussig Me­morial Fellowship.

She is best known to Ihe Issei and Nisei for her "Cit_ izen 13660", black and while illustrations or life during the Evacuation of the J apanese and their incarceration in Re­location Camps.

A versatile person, Mi!s Okubo has done illustrations lor Time, Life, Fortune and olber publications. Sbe has a Is o lectured at Berkeley, painted murals for the Amer­ican Export Line ships, and has had one man shows in New York.

Her paintings and drawings of the Evacuation were shown nationwide in major museums and also on the IITwentieth Century" TV circuit.

UTa me", she says, f'1ite and art is one and the same - I decided to take the long in­dividual selt - search road to find my own identity and my own forms, following the t!'ue values in creative work - the one of proving everylhing back again to thc fundamental basics and the workable in painting. by finding and un­derstanding the contenl of reaHty and mastering draw­ing, color and craft to the sim­plest and most beautiful, so that one could express lile universal, timeless, ageless. It has taken twenty-one years".

Our Own Attitudes By DR. ROY NISBlKAWA

Lo. Angeles Although man y outsiders

criticize the J ACL for "not dOing anything" in civil rights, paradoxically, some of us in JACL are atlempting to do too much too soon-possibly be­cause we have high ideals and to some extent because we aTe stung by the criticism ot "tokenism" and "Uncle Tom-Ism".

Ot course, not enough has been done in this area and more needs to be done. But on a practical, hard-headcd basis we must marshal our e(­forts towards those projects w h i c h have 8 reasonable chance of success. Generally, success breeds confidence and greater success, whereas de­feal. and setbacks tends to be self-pe.rpetuatlng.

The first requisite is 10 take a good look at Ihe J ACL, at the Japanese community, and at other mJnority communities as well as al Ihe majority w hite community. Since all groups are to a great degree molded by their surroundings and environment, the reaHstic chances of a gToup - any group-rising above ils en­vironment is, unfortunately, limited. (Gifted individuals of course are not sO limited.)

The second requisite is to examine our own attitudes, fears, doubts and suspicions.

Unless these attitudes are changed and a healthy cllmale arainst racism and tor justice cnn be obtained, progress will be limited by the general al­mosphere of apathy, fear and even hostility. And this would apply not only 10 JACL and Ihe Japanese community but to any group. Perhaps Ihis is the reason why ev~n the pow­erful U.S. government con­tinues to agonize over its ra­cial and other urban prob­

lems.

Legislation helps, but eau­cation is far more important.

I believe that JACL recog­nized this in 1966 al Ihe San Diego Convention by stress­ing the need for greater in­fonnation and education. But somehow the message was slow in filtering down to our chapters whel'e it becomes most meaningful. And the em­phosis was clouded by our eagerness to grasp specific programs. Programs are easy enough to think up-bow to implement the m effectively without broad-based support remains the key problem.

Once again at San Jose JACL will confront this prob­lem and once again there will be Ihose who lalk loudest about civil rights who will come up with all sorts of plans which are high sound­ing but which will not be practical in view of the re­alistic conditions under which we live. On the other hand, there will be ultra-conserva­tives who will fight progress and who will fight for non-in­volvement upon the basis that J ACL is concerned primarily with its own.

Objective evaluation there­tore is difficult. Extremism on both sides will produce only loud arguments and high emo­tions, but in the end the mod­erate voices will prevail be­cause there is no otber re­alistic and reasonable c.ourse.

Equality By KUMEO YOSHlNARI

Imm. Past President

Chicago Delegate. will be gathering

In San Jose next week 10 open the 20lh biennial National JACL Convention. It Is only nalural for the interested JA­CLers to speculale what ,viU this conclave accomplish, what meaningful goals wilJ it set for the 1968-70 biennium?

It is expectcd that the most important decision confront­ing Ihe National Board and National Council is the ques­tion of how far the J ACV.

involvement should be in the area o( human relations; es­pecially in regards 10 the mat­ters of civil rights. It is anti­cipated Ihat the discussions on this sub j e c t will probably raise many pro and con opin­ions.

The basic principles on civil rights should not be contro­versial in as much as the JA­CL itsell was founded to fight for and 10 seek equality of constitutional rights for our­selves as Japanese Americans. The real issue is whether or not the organization should expend more budgetary funda and participole more directly in the struggle ot other ethnic groups.

![ J ACLers have moral con­science and a sense of decen­cy, there is no alternative but to launch actively into the problems ot racial integration. Despile threats of bloodsbed and violence. there should be no timidness to crusade Cor a cause of righteousness. With­out strong conviction, we'll contribute and condone the injustice thal currently exists.

Democracy is a farce in the

evaluation unless it fulfills the definition as connoted in the dictionary: lithe accept­ance and practice ot the prin­ciple of equality of rights, op­portunity and treatment". Un­forlunalely. there are those who put more credence into the definition of democracy to mean Ilmajority rule", thereby imposing their will however unjust upon the minority. Be­cause of these two alterna­t i v e s, it mandates that a strong voice for justice and truth must be raised to move the conscience of the major­ity to be considerate of the minority status.

Out of out' own ordeal ot h a v i n g our constitutional rig h t s abridged, Japanese Americans more than any group should have a sense of compassion which should di­rect us into action with de­termination that our experi­ence shaU never befall another with evacuation or encamp­ment.

The Nisei generally have the tendency 10 be ultra-cau­l i 0 u s and are reluctant to commit themselves to embar­rassment or situations which may alienate Ihcir friends. In these times when the very sig­nificance of our nat ion is hanging in civil strife, every citizen needs to have the in­tegrity 10 stand up and be counted tor the very principle which he believe to be mo .. rally right. The equality be­tore law is a guarantee that no American needs to appeal. The cquality of opportunity and ot treatment should be unquestioned.

The 20th Biennial National J ACL Convention is the place and time when all who are

Thll review appeared In lb. Oct. 5, 1946, PacL8e Cllbea.

• • The wartime evacuation

program plucked 112,000 per­son s of Japanese ancestry from their home. on the. We.t Coast and resettled them in len War Relocation Aulhority camps throughout the Amer­ican desert areas.

This program has beon de­scribed and evaluated many times, but a) ways in term. of the moss. Now, alter many monlhs, one ot the evacuated Mine Okubo, ha. told her ow~ story by means of sketohes and a I h art accompanying text.

I'Citizen 13660" is compris­ed of a p pro x I mately 200 skelche. of camp life, each de­scribed by a paragraph or more of pilhy comment. The book begins with the aulhor In Europe, shortly before the start of war, and end. a. she leaves Ihe Topaz relocation center.

The drawIng. have gusti­ness and humor. They bave captured all Ihe oddltiel of camp life, the idiosyncracies and the paradoxes inherent in Ihe confinement of American citizens.

ObJeolive History

Being neither a moralist nor a sentimentalist, Mine Okubo has drawn an objective his­tory of a non-objective expe­rience. The book bas pathos, because there was great pa­thos in Ihe evacuation. The book has humor. because the evacuees maintained a sense of balance, despile all tbe in­dignities of the evacuation. And the book has dignity, be­cause they retained Iheir dig­nity, over and above the many painful and humiliating ex­periences ot relocation center ille.

There is no weeping nor wailing in the book; neither is there sentimentality. The text is simple and direct. Often it is slyly satirical, bul there was much to be satirized.

Mine Okubo, art student on a traveling fellowship, was studying art in Europe when war began. She managed to secure a reservation home, coming back on tbe lasl boal to leave Bordeaux.

Head. for 'Bome'

The ship was crowded wilh refugees who were coming from lhe European hell-hole to the freedom of America. Hearing their stories, Mine Okubo did not dream she was coming borne. not to freedom but 10 inlernment.

It was only a few month! atter Pearl Harbor that Mine Okubo and her brother tagged their personal baggage wllb tbe family number 13660, and prepared to go 10 the Civil Control Station trom which they would be laken 10 lbc Tantoran assembly center.

liThe military police opened the bus door and we stepped into the bus as our family number was c a 11 e d," she writes. "Many spectators stood al'ound. At that momenl I I'e­called some ot Ihe slories lold on shipboard by European re­fugees bound for America.

"We were silent on the trlp except for a group of four University of California boys who were sin gin g colle~e

songs. The bus crossed the Bay Bridge. Everyone stared at the beautiful view as If for the last tim e. The singing stopped".

Tanloran

and safe al bome. To Miss Okubo, as to olber

evacuees, Ihe lack of prlV8q was the greatest encroach. menl upon ber liberty and the faclor involving the greateR personal adjustment. B. I h • room., 10Uet tacilJtlel, laundry room., dining room ........ U lb_ were common !acl1JU... To obtain some degree of prlvaq, Mine tacked a quarantine sign upon her door.

When the residenla at Tan. foran were moved 10 Utah to Topaz relocation center lIear Delta, they were able to plan upon more permanent homeL Sbrub. and trees were planted around Ihe barracks. Gardena were sel out, buUdlng. wera "wi!lterized" for protection agamst lbe cold. Wllb what equipment they could lid, the evacuees set up recreation facilities. An ice rink waa set up. Shows were held on makeshift .lages in lbe m .... halls and in lbe open. Kite­making and flying were pop. ular. The evacuees' aporta In. eluded b$seball, balketball, tennis, golf, football, pin, pong and badminlon.

A community cooperaUve was established, providing • canteen, dry gooda .Iore, beauty parlor, barber sbop cle",!ing establisbment, .hoe repall' shop and movies.

Besides the regular school program. there were nursery scbools for lbe very YOUlll and adult education cl ...... f e a I uri n g AmericanlzaUon classes for the Issei. Thera are also scrap-metal drives, bond sales, Red Cross driVel

and blood donations "to help us keep up wilb the outald. world,"

Sketcbe. FlnJshed

By January, 1944. Mine Okubo finished her documen­tary sketches In camp life and decided to leave under the regular leave program, which had been establlsbed earlier.

She describes bel' depar. ture:

"Aller plowing Ihrough the red tape, through the madneso of packing again. I attended forums on 'Bow to Make Friends' and 'How 10 Bebave in the Outside World' .

III looked at the crowd at the gate. Only lbe very old or very young were lett. Her. I was, alone, with no famlly responsibilities, and yet teu had chained me 10 lbe camp. I lbought, 'My God! How dG they expect lbose poor peo­ple to leave lbe ODe place lbey can call home?' I swallowed a lump In my Ibro~ as I waved goodbye to lbem.

III entered the bus. As soon as all the passengers had been accounted for, we we.re on our way. I relived momentarily the sorrows and the joys of my whole evacuation experi­ence, until Ibe barracks faded away Into tbe dislance. There was only Ihe desert now. My Ihoughts shifled from the past to the future."

The Book

TOKY@-Whlle the Japanese governn,ent is busy preparing lor events to mnrk the cen­tennial o( the Meiji Restora­tion, hundreds of people srI! hunting (or books. mogarme and other documenls o( the early Maiji era. There is a rebirth of Meiji Ern idealism but which IS being tempered by the so-called democrs­tl!atlon of postwar Japan.

One of the books written during the Meiji Era that was eventually translated into 20 or 30 foreign languages is Dr. !nazo Nitobe's hBusbidol ' _

written originally in English in 1898. Julian Hawthorne. critic and son ot author Na­thanial Hawthorne. had this to say at Nitobc's essay:

Chivalry of the Japanese

Doctor or Professor lnazo Nitobe bas indicated in an L<S8Y. a little more than 100 pages long. which must be studied as well as read; and since it is as fascinating as it is in,portant, that is no hardship.

Tbe English which the pro­fessor writes is so singularly pure. easy and effective that no one would imagine it to be the wotk of a foreigner­and of a foreigner so very foreign as a Japanese. But that is little; the author seems to be the master of all the knowledge proper to a learned man of the West. as well as of that Oriental lore of which Westerners know not much. His theme is chivalry, or the knighthood of Japan; spe­cifically, of the warrior class, the Samurai, who numbered 2.000.000 knights. and who gave its tone to the whole country. They are the inspira­tion of the character and poli­ey of the nation.

There is much in the essay, which renlinds us of our own chivalric period - I mean that of Europe in the Middle Ages; there is also not a little that recalls the ideas and practices of the American In­dian in his primitive, unim­proved. heroic state.

The virtue of stoicism, for example, leads one to sur­mise that our Indians may in­deed have crossed over from Japanese soil in some early age of Bushido. bringing the tradition of it with them.

The chapter on Hara-kiri will probably have most in­terest for casual readers; while the view given of wom­en is a new one to those of us who have regarded Japa­nese women as mere varieties of the- Geisha type. There is an eloquent description of the Japanese Sword.

4rperfect as a ,,,ork of art, setting at defiance its Tole­do and Damascus rivals, there was more than art could im­part. Its cold blade. collect­ing on its surface the moment it was drawn the vapors of the atmosphere; its immacu­late texture. flashing light of bluish hue; its matchless edge. upon "'hich histories

and posslbiUties stand; the curve of its back. uniting ex­quisite gl'nce with u t m 0 s t strength; all lhese thrill us with mixed feelings or power and beauty. awe Rnd terror."

Or take the passage about lhe wild cherry blossom. Sa­kura. the national flower of Japan. "It Is indigenous to lhe soU; in its esscnce it remains the original, spontaneous out­growth of our clin'\c. The re­finement of its gl'ace and beauty appeal to our nesthellc sense as no other flower can," Unlike the rose, uit carries no dagger or poison undcr its beauty, which is ever ready to depart lite a t the caU of nature, whose colors aTe never gorgeous. and whose light fragrance never palls. Beauty of color and form is limited in its showing - it is a fixed quality to existence-whereas fragrance is volatile, ethereal as the breathing of life.

When the delicious perfume of the Sa!':ura quickens the morning air, as the sun in its course rises to illume first the isles of the Far East, few sensations are more serenely e.xhilarating than to inhale. as it were, the very breath of a beateaus day. Is it any wonder that the sweet-smel­ling season of the cherry blos­som should call forth the whole nation from U1Cir little habitations? Their brier plea­sure ended. they return to their daily tasks with new strength and resolutions. Thus in ways more than one is the Sal.."Ura. tbe Dower ot the na­tion."

It is foolish to pretend to review an essay of this depth and scope in a paragraph. The professor shows not only learning. but insight, judg­ment, magnamity; his argu­ments are cogently reasoned; he touches his subject with satire here and there; he is alwayS patriotic, but never bigoted or narrow. He gives us a better knowledge of the spirit of his nation than any foreign observers have done, not excepting even Lafcadio Hearn, to whom Professor Nitobe pays several compli­ments. You may read the hook through in a couple of hours, but you may return to it profitahly for years.­J u I ian Hawthorne (1846-1934).

" I do not believe that he (\Van'en) has ever made any public statement with respect to the maHer about w h , c h you write and I doubl that he would think it appropriate to do so."

This past week Uno receiv­ed another letter in which Margaret ~. McHugh, execu­ti ve secretary to the chid justice, wrote:

strongly that Chiet Justice Warren has an obligation to retract or apologize to the Nisei for the loss or dignity, the myth that the Nisei were dangerous or disloyal. and WalTen's influential role that denied 110,000 persons ot Japanese ancestry ail rlghl. guaranteed by the Constitu ­lion .

"The Nisej ha"e endured the physical pain and discom­forts of the Evacuation. Many or us have forgotten the ex­periences o( our incarceration 25 years ago; however, t b e better sting o( these injustices and indignities are e"er so painful today when we realize that a great American states­man s u c h as Chief Justice 'Van-en declines to set the re­cord straight from his pin­nacle of public service.

Damagln, Statement

"The decision or Korema­lsu vs. United States that r ul­ed the Evacuation both con­stitutional and legal is a con­stant reminder 01 what Jus­tice Frank MU'1)hy said in his dissenting opinion that the Evacuation tell 'into the ugly abyss or racism,'" comment­ed Uno.

LANSDALE. Pa.-Amon~ the most intriguing tee h 11 i c a I schools is the American Chick Sexing School here in Lans­dale. The first commercial chick sexing school in the United States, it was founded in 1937 by S. John Nitta and has been the only school 10 successfully operate since lhen. The purpose or the school is to train young: men and women in the art of de­tennining the sex of one-day old cbicks.

T his sex-separation ot chicks is essential to the breeder hatcheries, commer­cial hatcheries. and poultry farms . Jl means that the \In­

wanted sex . usually the roost­ers, can be eliminated im­medialely, thus e((eeting gl'eat savings in labol· costs, hous­ing, feed, duel , etc.

Chick sexing w as developed in 1924 al Tokyo Universily and fOI' years was practiced eXClusively 1Il Japan.

Intercslingly, Ihe school bas won 0 national reputaUon. Graduates from the American Chick Scxing School have worked al lhe U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's experi men tal station at Beltsville, and at mnny universities.

In the pasl the school has attracled young people nol only from this cou ntry, but also from many other nations or the world. In Ihe class session o( 1968. lhere were 20 students; six of the students were Irom Ihe U.S. and 14 tron) foreign countries.

Classes have purposely been kepI small so that lhc studenl receives more i.ndividual in­struction.
