Patsy Mink Death penalty in Dr. Ohla murder c ase to be sought REDWOOD CITY - The pro- secution says it will seek the death penalty for John Linley Frazier as jury selection be- gan last week (Oct. 18) in the execution-sty le slayings of Ihree adults and two children a year ago. In Washington, Mrs. Chis- holm has sai d she will en ter a number of primaries and was undecided about Oregon. Rep . Edith Gre en (D-Ore.) has been e. ncouraging the po- litical ambitions of both her colleagues but she hopes th ey will not run in Oregon and split the pro-woman vote am- ong a dozen or so male con- tend ers in the presidential sweepstakes. For Pa tsy Mink, the Oregon race would be an other first on a long list begun some years ago. She was the first woman of Japanese ancestry admit- ted to the Hawaii bar, elect- ed to the state iegislature and elecl<!d to Congress. She serves on the Education and Labor Committee, is ac- tive with a loose alliance of liberals known as the Dem- ocratic Siudy Group. Her Their triumph came with a U.S. Court of Appeals rulin g Oct. 5 th at a district c O u l' t mu st hold Iurther proceedings on release of the pa pers. The lower court earlier re- fused to order their release sought in a suit by Rep. P atsy T. Mink, D-Hawaii, and 32 other members 01 Congress. Mrs. Mink asked President Nixon for the reports in a tele- gram l ast July 28 , shortly be- fore the House was to vol<! on an appropriation bill provid- ing the $19.7 million for the Cannikin test on Amchitka Island, Al as ka. The request was refused, Congress denied funds tor the test, and lbe suit followed. Opponent s of the t est say it could set off destructive earlb- quakes and tidal waves in the Pacific. Jim's concern , however , is tl serious one whjch plagues e very organization. all y. we have requested that all national officers submit ar- t icles to the PC. and my un - d erstanding is this offer is a standing one by Harry Honda. We h aven't, for some -reason, bad many takers. We ha ve also requested that Nation al Committee Chairman m ake periodic reports to be publi shed in the PC, but tbese also have been few and far bet.ween. H If you find Mr. Frazier guilty of first -degree murder and if you find him sane, it is our intention during the penalty tdal to ask you to re- turn a death verdict ," Santa Cruz County Di strict Attorney P eter Chang told prospective jurors in the lTial's opening day. NISEI JUDGE CRITICIZES PRISON, URGES ABOLITION OF PAROLE BOARD Fin ally, we h ave consistent- ly requested staff to submit regular articles to the PC, but, as yet, the membership has not had the beneCit of even infrequent contributions from this vital sector of our or- gan ization. 11 there is to be communication, why not from the very people who possess the priceless and needed in- iormation . It does little good to have it locked in the brain of the instrumentality that could en li ghten a ll concerned by generously. but succinctly, p utting it down in writing. I am a 1irm believer in sharing information. That is one of the reasons I try to submit one article awe e k, which , contrary to my hope., may not be the most refres h- in g. sophisticated or down 10 e arth, writing, but it is my feeble attempt to appri se the entire membership of my ob- servations of what is happen- in g in JACL from my vantage p oint. It is my feeling th a t by sha rin g Information th rough- out the organization, we can obser ve the s tren gth s, weak- nesses, successes and failures of our organ ization. In ad- dition, different seeds ar e SOwn in difterent ways which may bear frui t in other !ields in other days (paraphrasing Douglas MacArthur's remarks about West Point football field) . Th e cross fertilization of ideas, when properly nur - tured, whether purposely or accident ally, produces some very exotic and exciting pro- gr ams and projects. In order to get out of the so-called 4I ru l". we must generate new Ideas with both old and new JACLers. . 1I1EllmER HIP PARTIOIPATION Frazier, a 25 - year old form- er mechanic., is accused of murdering wealthy eye sur - geon Victor Ohta, 45; his wife, Virginia, 43; their sons, Der- rick, 12, and T aggart, 11, and the doctor's secretary, Doro- thy Cadwallader, 38. Frazier has pleaded inno- cent and innocent by reason of insanity. The victims' bodies were found in a swimmin g pool be- side lbe burn ing $25 0,000 Oh- ta mansion. Ala bama daily hears from JACL SALT LAKE CITY - Use of the derogatory epithet des- cribing persons of Japanese ancestry by the Dolhan (Ala.)

Recalling the WW2 record of the Nisei and the 442nd Regt. combat team, Uno de- clat:ed, ''Based on every index ?va.t1able, education, income, inCidence of crime delinquen- cy etc. the Americanism of J apanese Americans cannot be Questioned.

Doi called for abo- lition of the state board of probation and paroles in his address Oct. 16 before the Ha- waii Stal<! Corrections Assn. He said he sentences a man to lbe state prison only as a l ast r esort because conditions there are so poor. Doi also criticized Ray Bel- nap, director of the State Dept. of Corrections, and dep- uty police chief Charles Du- arte who, the day before, ca ll- ed the juc:ticiary a H procedur- al jungle". Ans wering Duarte's criti- ci s m, the Big Island judge said: uAmerica prides itseU on civil rights and in protecting the individu al rights ... In America , you do not cut short a nd go over individual rights for efficiency." Bad Feelings Feared Spea king to the corrections professionals, Doi sai d: "You who are here m u s t tell the truth and stop hi d- ing it . . . Only the imma- ture and uncom.m.itted won't push for truth becau se it might render bad leelings." Then apparently directing his remark s to Belnap (who was in the a udi ence), Doi said: "Belnap said a few years ago the Circuit Court judges now have a new policy not to send convicts to the state prison. I mention this not to impugn Belna p, but to point out t hat we do not, never had and should not have s uch a policy. You do not sentence a policy.

The family court in most cases should be able to return a child to the schools, but they won't accept the dropouts and truants, Doi continued.

Dr. Y. Scott Matsumoto, as- sociate professor of public health at the Univ. of Ha- waii. poses the question and urges researeb to find out what accounts for the "re- markab le differences between Jap an and the U.S. in their respective tendency to the di- In 1960·61 the white Amer- ican male possessed the high.- es t known age- adjus ted d eath rate in the world for arlerio- scle ri tic an d degenerative beart di sease-326.2 p er 100,- 00 0 as compared to 67.8 for the Japanese male.

Any rac ial tendency is dis_ counted by comparing deatb rales for Japanese living in Japan, in Hawa ii. a nd in tinental U.S. J apanese who migrale to the mainland, for example, exhib it American coronary rates. "High fat diet and emotion- al stress seem to be increas- ingly implicated in the deve_ lopment of coron ary heart di- sease," he explained. Although stu di es of Japa- nese on a diet Ustrong. Iy support the diet factor ," the stress interpretation uappears to be contra dicted in the case of Japan, the only nation out- side of the West to achieve industrialization and urbani- zation and yet possess low co- ronary rates. u How then do the Japanese, who. like Americans, live in a stress-producing society, bandle the problem of stress? Matsumoto s uggests lbat the tendency in Japan toward group emphasis for example, the work ty of lbe individual stral<!gies, "plays an important role in decreasing lbe frequency \vith its stress-reducing of the di- sease." HAn important characteris- tic of the group structure In Japan is the tremendous feel- ing of in-group solidarity," he explained. Employment Seourlty The individual is " shelter- ed wit h i n his personal group community with built- in social techniques and neuvers for diminishing I<!n- sion." He also pointed Oltt t hat communication and ffexpress_ ion of tenderness and affec- tion are handled well and adaptively in Japan, where_ as such expressions, especially between American men, are very difficult." The Japanese male is also permitted " much emotional support from his women, II he added. "The Japanese women, notably the wives, act to pre_ serve lbe male's position of superiority." On the other band, the "emancipation of woman" that has characterized western na- tions during the past halt..,en- tury or more has placed "a different stress in man-woman relationships wilb the pace of modern life adversity alIect- ing lbe security of men more lban of women. This tide of change can be viewed as un .. dermining the estahllshed statutes and emotional sup. ports for men," according to one researeb study.

Natlon.1 JACL Pre.ldent

In Ihe Oct. 15 PC, lbe Na­tional Planning Commission scrutinized the role ot the Na­tional Board and Executive Committee. Since the E.,<ecu­tive Committee will be meet­Ing shortly, it may be eluci­dating for all concerned to comment on the article a1-

LOS ANGELES - American Broadcasting Co. 0 f f i cia I s have changed the title 01 their Dec. 7 oUering on "Movie of the Week" from "My Hus­band . . . the Enemy" to "If Tomorrow Comes" - a Une from the script.

Originally called "The Glass Hammer", from lines within lbe Lew Hunter script about a Japanese American high school athlete and his Cauca­sian girl, J A C L heritage chairman George Takei cred­ited the letter-writing cam­paign for persuading the lat­est change.

JACL was more ottended by the litle, "My Husbahd ... the Enemy", lban its showing by ABC·TV on Dec. 7 or the story, wbich Take! regarded. as poignant slory of the Eva­cuation experience of Japan­ese Americans in 1942.

Exacuatlon Story

Patty Duke and newcomer Frank Liu star in the film as two young lovers caught in the turmoil of Evacuation and the anti-Japanese hysteria of World War II.

associale director Jim Green apologized and admitted the title waS "exploitive", reveal­ing lbat market research stu­dies indicated "My Husband ... the Enemy" would aUact more viewers because of its melodramatic tone. "We should not have used it to get a rating." Green said. "The movie itself can stand alone."

Thus, to the extent of scientific and medical certainty, all the in­form ation the national or­ganization feels should be dis­seminated would be seot to all those receiving the time capsules to take, according to instructions. and there will be n o need to read the PC or the stacks of letters and memo­randums which are sent in­cessantly.

Rep. Patsy Mink

Death penalty in

Dr. Ohla murder

case to be sought REDWOOD CITY - The pro­secution says it will seek the death penalty for John Linley Frazier as jury selection be­gan last week (Oct. 18) in the execution-style slayings of Ihree adults and two children a year ago.

In Washington , Mrs. Chis­holm has said she will enter a number of primaries and was undecided about Oregon.

Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) has been e.ncouraging the po­litical ambitions of both her colleagues but she hopes they will not run in Oregon and split the pro-woman vote am­ong a dozen or so ma le con­tenders in the presidential sweepstakes.

For Patsy Mink, the Oregon race would be another first on a long list begun some years ago. She was the first woman of Japanese ancestry admit­ted to the Hawaii bar, elect­ed to the state iegislature and elecl<!d to Congress.

She serves on the Education and Labor Committee, is ac­tive with a loose alliance of liberals known as the Dem­ocratic Siudy Group. Her

Their triumph came with a U.S. Court of Appeals rulin g Oct. 5 that a district c O u l' t must hold Iurther proceedings on release of the papers.

The lower court earlier re­fused to order their release sought in a suit by Rep. Patsy T. Mink, D-Hawaii, and 32 other members 01 Congress.

Mrs. Mink asked President Nixon for the reports in a tele­gram last July 28, shortly be­fore the House was to vol<! on an appropriation bill provid­ing the $19.7 million for the Cannikin test on Amchitka Island, Alaska. The request was refused, Congress denied funds tor the test, and lbe suit followed.

Opponents of the test say it could set off destructive earlb­quakes and tidal waves in the Pacific.

Jim's concern, however, is tl serious one whjch plagues every organization. Periodic~

ally. we have requested that all national officers submit ar­t icles to the PC. and my un­derstanding is this offer is a standing one by Harry Honda. We haven't, for some -reason, bad many takers.

We have also requested that National Committee Chairman m ake periodic reports to be published in the PC, but tbese also have been few and far bet.ween.

HIf you find Mr. Frazier guilty of first-degree murder and if you find him sane, it is our intention during the penalty tdal to ask you to re­turn a death verdict," Santa Cruz County District Attorney Peter Chang told prospective jurors in the lTial's opening day.

NISEI JUDGE CRITICIZES PRISON,

URGES ABOLITION OF PAROLE BOARD

Finally, we have consistent­ly requested staff to submit r egular articles to the PC, but, as yet, the membership has not had the beneCit of even infrequent contributions from this vital sector of our or­ganization . 11 there is to be communication, why not from the very people who possess the priceless and needed in­iormation . It does little good to have it locked in the brain of the instrumentality that could enlighten all concerned by generously. but succinctly, p utting it down in writing.

I am a 1irm believer in sharing information. That is one of the reasons I try to submit one article awe e k, which, contrary to my hope., may not be the most refresh­ing. sophisticated or down 10 earth, writing, but it is my feeble attempt to apprise the entire membership of my ob­servations of what is happen­ing in JACL from my vantage point.

It is my feeling th a t by sharing Information through­out the organization, we can observe the strengths, weak­nesses, successes and failures of our organization . In ad­dition, different seeds are SOwn in difterent ways which may bear frui t in other !ields in other days (paraphrasing Douglas MacArthur's remarks about West Point football field) . The cross fertilization of ideas, when properly nur­tured, whether purposely or accidentally, produces some very exotic and exciting pro­grams and projects. In order to get out of the so-called 4I rul". we must generate new Ideas with both old and new JACLers. . 1I1EllmER HIP PARTIOIPATION

Frazier, a 25-year old form­er mechanic., is accused of murdering wealthy eye sur­geon Victor Ohta, 45; his wife, Virginia, 43; their sons, Der­rick, 12, and Taggart, 11, and the doctor's secretary, Doro­thy Cadwallader, 38.

Frazier has pleaded inno­cent and innocent by reason of insanity.

The victims' bodies were found in a swimming pool be­side lbe burning $250,000 Oh­ta mansion.

Alabama daily

HONOLULU - Circuit Judge Nelson K . Doi called for abo­lition of the state board of probation and paroles in his address Oct. 16 before the Ha­waii Stal<! Corrections Assn. He said he sentences a man to lbe state prison only as a last resort because conditions there are so poor.

Doi also criticized Ray Bel­nap, director of the State Dept. of Corrections, and dep­uty police chief Charles Du­arte who, the day before, call­ed the juc:ticiary a Hprocedur­al jungle".

Answering Duarte's criti­ci s m, the Big Island judge said :

uAmerica prides itseU on civil rights and in protecting the individual rights ... In America, you do not cut short and go over individual rights for efficiency."

Bad Feelings Feared

Speaking to the corrections professionals, Doi said:

"You who are here m u s t tell the truth and stop hid­ing it . . . Only the imma­ture and uncom.m.itted won't push for truth because it might render bad leelings."

Then apparently directing his remarks to Belnap (who was in the audience), Doi said:

"Belnap said a few years ago the Circuit Court judges now have a new policy not to send convicts to the state prison. I mention this not to impugn Belnap, but to point out t hat we do not, never had and should not have such a policy. You do not sentence a policy.

Stal<! of Prisons

"Improve your prisons and you'll have more prison sen­tences."

Doi called for abolition of the State Board of Probation and Paroles, suggesting it be repiaced by three experts whose selection would be free from political considrations. Such a body can move fas t­er than the courts.

He also cailed for revamp­ing the State Prison's Diag­nostic Center, where n ewly convicted men are beld while ate a m of psychiatrists and corrections workers determine where and how long the man should be placed in contine­ment. He said inmates of the Diagnostic Center have told him that they do not fee I they are properly separated from hardened offenders.

Family Court

Doi also said lbe State Dept. of Education appears to be using the Family Court as "dumping grounds" for juve­nile problems which the schools themselves should be a b I e to handle. The fami ly court in most cases should be able to return a child to the schools, but they won 't accept the dropouts and truants, Doi continued.

"The expertise for helping children should be in the Dept. of Education, not spread over the whole State. The ex­pertise for helping those child· ren who are truly dif!icult, however. should remain with t.be corrections institutions."

Social stress on heart studied Honolulu

Why does Japan have one ol the lowest rates of coro­nary heart disease in the world, and the Unil<!d States one of the high set?

Dr. Y. Scott Matsumoto, as­sociate professor of public health at the Univ. of Ha­waii. poses the question and urges researeb to find out what accounts for the "re­markable differences between Japan and the U.S. in their respective tendency to the di­s~ 8se.JI

In 1960·61 the white Amer­ican male possessed the high.­est known age-adjusted death rate in the world for arlerio­scleritic an d degenerative beart disease-326.2 per 100,-000 as compared to 67.8 for the Japanese male.

II10rta lily Ra lio

The standardized male mor­tality ratio for the disease was 481 white Americans for every 100 Japanese.

11Th is cannot be regarded as merely accidental, nor is it possible 10 foist the blame entirely on heredity or ethnic faclors," Matsumoto said.

Any racial tendency is dis_ counted by comparing deatb rales for Japanese living in J apan, in Hawaii. and in con~ tinental U.S. J apanese who migrale to the mainland, for example, exhibit American coronary rates.

"High fat diet and emotion­al stress seem to be increas­ingly implicated in the deve_ lopment of coronary heart di­sease," he explained.

Although studies of J apa­nese on a 10\V~f at diet Ustrong. Iy support the diet factor," the stress interpretation uappears to be contradicted in the case of J apan, the only nation out­s ide of the West to achieve industrialization and urbani­zation and yet possess low co­ronary rates.u

How then do the J apanese, who. like Americans, live in a stress-producing society, b andle the problem of stress?

Matsumoto suggests lbat the tendency in Japan toward group emphasis for example, the in~group work communi~ ty of lbe individual stral<!gies, "plays an important role in decreasing lbe frequency \vith its stress-reducing of the di­sease."

HAn important characteris­tic of the group structure In Japan is the tremendous feel­ing of in-group solidarity," he explained.

Employment Seourlty

The individual is "shelter­ed wit h i n his personal in~ group community with built­in social techniques and ma~ neuvers for diminishing I<!n­sion."

He also pointed Oltt t hat communication and ffexpress_ ion of tenderness and affec­tion are handled well and adaptively in Japan, where_ as such expressions, especially between American men, are very difficult."

The Japanese male is also permitted "much emotional support from his women, II he added. "The Japanese women, notably the wives, act to pre_ serve lbe male's position of superiority."

On the other band, the "emancipation of woman" that has characterized western na­tions during the past halt..,en­tury or more has placed "a different stress in man-woman relationships wilb the pace of modern life adversity alIect­ing lbe security of men more lban of women. This tide of change can be viewed as un .. dermining the estahllshed statutes and emotional sup. ports for men," according to one researeb study.

Japanese Environment

Matsumoto said that Japa_ nese cultural and social life offer many stress-reducing activities, such as the tradi­tional custom of afU!r-work socializing in the coffee shopsJ

A JACL Who's Who

Up:," re tu r n ing from an appointment on Ca pito l Hill the other day, I was informed by my secretary that a certain manpower recr uiter from the De partment of Hcalth, Education, and Welfare ha~ called while r was gone and requested that I retur n hIS call. I t seem s that very frequently we receive at the Washington JACL Office requests for Japanese America ns to fill very at· tractive jobs in the Federal Government and in private business. 1 suspected lbat s ueh w as the nature of the call from HEW.

As I listened to the request of the HEW official, w hich was a high level appointment tilat they w ished to fill witb a Japanese American, m y mi nd reviewed the n umerous calls that I have had in tbe s bor t tiDle that I bave been here in Wasbington asking for nam es of qualified people of Japanese ances try in many fi elds.

Requests bave come asking f or career minded young people who are recent college gradu a tes, suc· cessful professional executives w ho could serve in high policy positions which are P residential appointments, and numerous middle·level opportu nities w hich if fill· ed by a Japanese American cou ld lead to th e type of political and governmental knowhow th at could ben e· fit our communities.

An evocative book on the Evacuation of Japanesa i.n Canada with illush-ations by the author-artist, Sbizuye Ta­kashima of Toronto, "A Child in Prison Camp" (Tundra Books, $7.95) , which has been partially serialized in the To­ronto Daily Star and Van­couver Sun) has been pub­lished. The author was ll­years·old at the time. One re­viewer found the book "with­out recriminations, without bitterness, only the vivid 1m. pressons at a child ... it makes you think what the hell kind of a world this is." The seri­allzation also provoked racist leIters to the editor.

t~fc,t.o C'~h;n::ld (~e~tia~m~-::,,?~~: nJa) on the quutlon of Uf'· WOCI.

i\lARUTANI-T give a jlteat deal at credit to Fred Hlra­suna for his persistence. but this thln~ has got to come to a h alt. What can we as the Nallonal Planning Commis­sion do about il, and particu­larly When It's geared down to a local labor-management. economic issue.

SATOW - 1 can't figure this out. Fred explained to me that CCDC didn't want 10 get involvcd and they thought very deeply on this. So Ihey thought tbe Board should come down and look the situ­ation over. And the least would be to request that a stafl' person (Warren Furu­tani) who has some feeli ng for this area and come down to look this over. They want­ed Jeffrey too and I said Na­tional would provide the funds Ior them to go.

Then r got to thinking, well, what does the district, Fred. or the people involved. whal do they exiect Warren and J effrey to do once they got there. They're outsiders and maybe they ca n be obiective and look at the situation. Per­h aps their request was be­cause of Ihat, so lhat they could become more familiar \\ ith the actual problems there. But then. beyond th at. Kumeo says. "JACL should try to help them organize co­operatives" - $0 who docs he (Kumeo) mean: should we do th is? Isn'L th is the farmer's p roblem'! They have enough brains and resources to Ol' ~

ganize a cooperative. \Vho in J ACL has enough expertise to do that? I'm just wonder­in$! what (Kumeo) means?

IIIAl A AKI - Let me tell you whal the real problem is.

Somehow. man~' of the Nisei llI'owe ... In Cenlral CalHornla ha"e the impression that JA­CL is pro-Chavez, They en­tertain this thought.

MAR UTA I - Per hap s that's true in some segments.

' llIl1IASAKI-1 try to think how they could think thaL­I don't try to ask where Ihey get Ihat idea because I know what they would say. I think they gal this Idea Irom what Fred took back Irom the San Jose Convention.

AT OW - Plus the lact that Warren had a poster of him ...

lIlAR TANI - Let's assume all of this to be true. QUite frankly. I personally have a great deal of sympalhy for what I think Chavez is try­ing to do. And r'm entlUcd to my opinions. right 0 .. wrong. And all others down there are entitled to Iheit·s, right or wrong.

Y can't quite see why-let's assume Fred (fh:uraUvely speaking) - tbey would want to change my opinions (though my opinions don't mean a thing as I am no longer on lhc National Board) as a member 01 the National Board, lor what JACL purpose? Fred is one of those people who said we've got to look out af­ter the Japanese Americans and I agree. But to change my views as to Chavez - is that serving the purpose of the J apanese American or is that servin/( the purposes of growers in Central CalHornia. many of whom happen 10 be Japanese American? In short., isn't this an economic issue rather than a racial issue? Frankly. T feel that JACL is being used for an improper purpose - mainly. an eco­nomic issue - when J ACL should be used for purposes 01 racial equality, human dig­nity and so (arth.

Regardlcss of whether th~ Japanese Americans in Cen· tral California. growers nr who they are, if they are be · iog attacked racially or on any human dignity basis. T wou ld have no hesitation no matter who - Chavez or anyone -but I don't think that's tho is­sue here .. While r don't 1 have .11 the f.cts here. I feel that JACL is being sucked in (and I use that term advised­ly) to what is a strictly eco­nomic Issue and I resent that If lhat is so.

Denver, Colo. AFTER THE VISIT-The house is strangely quiet

tonight. No. 2 son, who heads the California branch of the family, has gone home with his wife and their baby after an ll·day vacation visit. Their stay was a happy interlude enlivened by the presence of little Pat, who is just a bit more than a year old. Unable to walk, he scooted swiftly around the place on all fours, chortling with the sheer pleasure of his mobility.

During his stay here Pat learned to crawl up stairs. There are no stairs in the apartment in which he and his parents live, so he had to corne to Denver to ac­quire that skill. He quickly accepted the chaUenge of the stairway and before long he had no problem at all hoisting himself up, one step at a time. The grin of triumph that spread over his elfin face after he made it to the top the first time was a sight to behold. He did not learn to make it back dOlVn the stairs, but that didn't bother him. There was always a handy grandparent to pick him up, somelyhat to the discom· fiture of his parents who incline toward the Spartan upbringing of their child.

Nor did Pat learn to walk, although he is so close to that milestone that we expected him to take his first unsupported steps in our horne. No matter. He will be walking soon enough. The next time we see Pat he no doubt will be scampering around although he won't be talking much if he takes after his father's taciturn ways.

TOnight, at an uncommonly quiet supper table, we disposed of some of the things that Pat left. There was some gelatin, for example, a half can of peaches and another half can of pears, and a banana. As befits a native Californian, he goes in heavily for fruits. The refrigerator no doubt contains other little tidbits he left behind and we'll clean them up, too.

• • • EATING AND SLEEPING-No. 2 son, who has

been hitting it pretty hard at the San Francisco bank where he works, spent a considerable part of his vaca· iion eating and sleeping. It took him a couple days to unwind. after which he relaxed mightily and thaI's what vacations are for, aren't lhey? The amount of food he put away was a compliment to his mother's cooking, but not necessarily an implied criticism of the fare he gels in his own home. He simply enjoyed himself and let the bars down-and picked up some­thing like eight pounds in the process.

When we COUld. we sat around and talked as in the old days about football and jobs and child.ren. the advantages and costs of commuting (which is what he does) as compared to trying to rear his son in The City, the satisfactions of a job well done and the diplo. macy involved in handling employees, and a million other subjects. It is at times like these, when an off. sp'rings that has taken his place in society as a respon. Sible citi~en comes horne for a visit. that the trials of bringing up a family seem to have heen a worthwhile slruggle.

In the 29 year that this column has been running, observations about lhe family have been inflicted on our reader from time to time and there is reason to believe lhat many of them have come to identify their 011'11 experiences with ours. Our children. like the youngsters of mos~ Nisei famiJie., are out on their own noll' and a different era is on the W3Y. The yawning gap of a generation of time eparates us 10

Dla!!)' ways, and yet we find that we are closer than we ve ever becon. When an offspring chooses to come horne on his I'acation and spend his hard-earned time WIth Ule old folks. it seems to be a sign that we have some ~ood thin~s !!oin~ for u . The house is much too qutet 110\\: the husUe and bu tic and happy noisl' laughter IVa simply gr at while it lasted. . -

SlJrJlfASAIU-Well, r think you are somewhat misinCorm· ed. because there were vari­ous aspects that. were racial

. 'MARUTANI - Initially. it was and I understand lhat. 1 recognize that

SUGIYAMA - It appears to me Ihls way that to make a categorical statement this Is an economic issue, lhat this is a labor-management Issue and therefore no longer an 81-ea of interest to JACL; but on the o\.her hand, when there are omcial represenlatives of the JACL and JACL chapters. who have supported the labor side In diUerent activities -but no one has said. "Now look. J ACL has no business in this. so let's back off." 11 that's the proper determina­tion JACL is making hele and that labor-management and other economic issues are out­side the realm of J ACL, then it should be un i f a I' m I y applied. ~lAT UI - Where has it

been where JACL Is at Iault? SUGfYA~lA - Individual

chaptcrs have-In supporting the grape boycott or in effeci UFWOC. So il we bring out this argument. it will come to strict neut.rallty - neither one or the other.

IIlATSUI - Chavez Is not really a union leader. He is the one person who is Lor the oppressed minority. After Martin Luther King Jr. died, he is the one who stands out. The people don't look at him as a union leader but a sym­bol of the oppressed communi­ties or of the man at the bot­tom fighting back.

UGIYAMA - Then in eC­feCI. you are stat.ing that an element of the Japanese popu­lation is among the oppres­sors.

MATSUI - You are talking about the support of Chavez, grape boycott. But that's a little more than this. The young people don't believe in becoming involved in labor­management deals but In this case they do because of the fact that Chavez is worthy of support - especially in the urban areas-as the one sym ­bol representing the st.ruggle of the poor Chicano, the poor black and whatever.

SUGIYAMA - Now, this is the point. We're starting to rationalize {or support for one element. The same way, we can lake the grower's pUght. Look, the survival 01 the farmers is at stake, too. There are tenant J apanese farmers down there, subject to be­ing wiped olf, irrespective ot whatever reason - ] abo r ­management1 e con 0 m i c or what else. This is Ihe other side. So, the inconsistency IS

that on the one hand it is none of our business; but on the other nand you rationalize and say it Is our business.

IllARUTANI - Four years ago, you remember, when the grape workers business came up, Fred got up and spoke. At that time I also held it was an economic issue with no racial overtones. And of course I have a great deal of sympat.hy for my fellow Nisei In Central California and when you say that if a Nisei is going to get wiped out. it hurls me. So that when Fred raises the grape grower busi­ness and Chavez (our years ago. the National Board went on record it would not take a posItion pro or eon. That in itseU is taking a position. In short, it meant more than that. We weren't going to partici­pate and endorse the grape boycott and not really neu­trality. So he did get us to take a position. Now, he's back again.

That first time around I remained silent. But this time since I am not a member of the National Board I express my frank views. 'Vhen I first read about it in the PC that Warren and Jeffrey went down there, 1 thought - why should we be spending JACL money to send them down there, taking up their time for what JACL purpose? Why am 1 paying dues for these guys to do down thcre?

HIlIlASAKI - Because it concerns the weICare of per· sons of .Japanese ancestry .. .

IIIARUTANI - Economical­ly only. in terms of labor­management. They can come on out my way. Maybe T don't have enough law clients. May­be they come around and sur­vey and see how many more clients I ought 10 ~et or ele­vate my clients to big corpo­rations or General Motors, etc. Of course, I am getting ridic­ulous ...

SBJi\lASAKI - No. there is a difference. They (lhe farmers) are fighting tor their economic life. You arc not.

SUGfYAlIJA - When War­I'cn and JeHrey went down , there was an indication and possibility that UFWOC was concentrating on the J apanese and that was tile basic pur­pose (or the request r don't know whelher it has been subslanllated or not, but at that time the indication was that as a tactic they were con­eentratm!: on the Japanese.

MAR TAN! - You're lalk­Ing about racial discrimina­t.lon and so forth. it would have been mOre in line with JACL purposes and policies for Jeff and Warren to have gone up to New York. possi­bly Portland. rl~ht in Los An­geles and ItO to your kaisha p e 0 pic who discriminate against olhers You lalk aboul labor. emplo)"er-employcc and unions. ~IA T -l'1 - You must un­

der.tand Warren and myself didn't go up because it was a pleasure cruls~. lVe really had \0 slt do" n and go over thiS

thin~ because \·ou know what happened 10 \\'arren once be­Core when he \vent to Central Cal. And bec.1usc they con-

necled Warren with one pos­ter, they said he was over­s)'mpathotic with one side and here. .

i\lARUTANI - Hel·e, Fred was trying 10 re-educate you ... (rom my views.

MAT UI - No. he said he asked that the Nisei and San­sei in the urban areas to come up to Central Cal to listen and learn and maybe you could In your own way get the other side and explain the whole situation about UF­WOC. 1 think Fred said he was not angry about. the fact Ihat Warren immediately re­scheduled his trip so that he went to Ihe union firsl, to get their side first. And that 's where Warren got educated 10 t.he Iacts from the union it­self as to what was happen­ing. Really, Central Cal Dis­triet Council pay their dues for salaries and all that and were heavily questioning not only \Varren's role bul many of his stands. The only time they ever met Warren was at t.he trial they had up at Cen­tral Cal. This is still like staff invitation being made on the basis of PRo too. so that dis­tdct itself can understand why they're employing Warren. So it was a matter oC lislen and learn; leI Central Cal people gel things off their chest and have staff people come over and lislen. It wasn't really to get involved in thi~ labor­management tiling. We tried to avoid that; at the sam e time, they did say U,ey would look into UFWOC. But the real education was not done really to know the growers bul meeting with the real small farmers and seeing that relation with the union, meel­ing with the Filipinos (or ex­ample (one of the complaints was t.hat UFWOC was going too nationalistic). what about the Filipino workers, asking them and about their loss of communication with Chavet:. whether he was on the righ t trip and aU that because he has since become a naUonal figure. So that was something on the side about loss ot com ~

munlcation but the main thing was that can the Central Cali­fornia District possibly meet with Warren and see him. That's about it.

Their views were fantastic about their attitude toward Warren. Fred asked for War­ren to come over. Then the bulletin came out from the Nisei Fanners League that Furutani in Central Cal. that \Varren's primary purpose was to meet with UFWOC and that the Nisei Farmers League managed to have Warren over Friday evening to also speak with the growers.

Now this is entirely untrue. Warren works on urban pl'ob. lems. He had no lime witl) this. but only reason ,\ohy hi! went was because the Central Cal governor requested his comJng. He was the only per­son who could have gotten Warren up to Central Cal.

And I was disappointed too. I had to talk with Harry Ku­bo, chairman of the Nisei Farmcrs League, and asked him why he put out that bul­letin . This is all misinforma­tion about Warren. Thcn he said he had nolhing to do with It. He said it was Fred·s. but Fred knew better why War­ren was coming up. So we cleared up a few things about staff and Central Cal. We got at least to know each otber.

MARUTANI - That·s all fine. I readily admit that there are two sides to very story. that the farmers have their side, too, and tilis is what JA­CL is for. We're not engaged in a fal'm survey. It they want Warren to com e to get to know him better, that's fine ; if it's not for t.rying to reedu­cat. JACL for the farm view tor its own economic purposes. This I resent as a J ACL mem­ber.

MATSUOl{ ,\ - Why was Warren specifically request­ed? Anybody \l(ho wants as­sistance, why him in this in­stance?

MATSUI - Because of a poster on his wall and they actuaUy tried to have him fired before ...

SATOW - And partly, too, because oC his program in community involvemenl and working in the area with the oppressed, pro b 1 ems. etc. There is a rationale, too. in that a district council request­ed thai we have a staU cia down there. What was I tb say, argue with them, and say no? And then alienate Ihem furlher?

1 don't think when they asked for Warren and Jeffrey tbey really expected them to solve the problem. It wasn't Ihat simple. At least. Ihey wanted to have them exposed as sta!! people to a segmenl of J ACL people who are farm­ers and understand what they go through. And I think War­ren and Jeffrey have learned by this.

MAT UOIiA-ls this with­in their duties? Who would normally do this kind of thing' Warren or Jeffrey?

MAT I - Reason th e . asked Cor \\farren was that poster. Sl) C e n t r a 1 Cal'~

thouRht was they were pay­Ing a slaff person who w actively supportin~ UFWOC but he was not ,"valved in thai-and ynu know lhat ~("T-UOKA - So that's

like ad"islng some JACL staff person with a Playboy post­er by the women's lib.

~1 .. \Rt;TM,a - II I were a member 01 Central Cal and II I thou~ht some J ACL staH was worki",: for UFWOC, theD that districl counCil i entitled 10 an explanation. I would insist upon it. But I s\and by my ori£inal 5 tuahon so far as this {arm situahon 1 Nncerned.

Sl;Gl\,A~L\ - This has been one of the complicat.iD&

factors of a dlCficult situation -of the perception of Central Cal and the lal'1T\in~ popula­tion of Warren's ideOlogical \'i~ws, posters, ctc. It was really blown all out of pro­portion. But Ihere was Ihis (.eUn~ that a paid staff mem­ber was actively supporting one particular taction. Actual­ly even at tbe board meetmg. the statement on the farm situation was very balanced and obiective. Warrcn himself recommended t h a I J A C L could take certain stands on this issue without taking sides and these we1'e the positions that Fred tried to get the board to take action.

SATOW - May I explain that tho day before that Fred called me that HaTl'y Kubo wanted to come down and prescnt their case. I rell it was a board meeting and there Was a CeDC representalive who could have related the problem. But since the meet­Ing was Ih lhe hand of Ihe National President (and I told Raymond frankly that Fred could present those views and Harry's presence was not war­ranted, even though he IS

president 01 the Parlier chap· ter ). I said 1 don·t think we should invite him and take up an hour or two oC our time. But somehow Fred must have gollcn to Ray and thing was already in the works. The next thing you know, Har", shows lip at the meeting. My own leellng is lhal he should not have been invited-but it was nut of my control. I had advised Raymond it was not propel'. that the (acts could have heen presented by Fred and that Warren and Jeffrey had been there also to be re­sources lor the board in talk­Ing this over.

IIIAT VI - This is like at the Chicago Convention where we let the young people in­not because it was relevant or whatevel·. The reason why the young people were trying to disrupt Ihe national conv\!n­tion was they wanted a podium. They had no place to express themselves. And Cen­tral Cal felt the same way.

lIIARUTANI-I agree, but Ict me say this. U 1 were the national dil'ector or the national president at that time. even though if I thought it was completely improper. knowing how strongly Central Cal felt about it, T would have done the same thing. Let them come in-cven though it had nothing to do with race or justice and would waste our time. But it's been done now and it's gone around twice. And frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of it that this issue continues to take up JACL time and National JACL Plan­ning Commission time. It's time to drop this issue.

SAT OW - The larger pic­ture, it seems is the feeling that we're not paying enough attention to our rural area members and this is lhe point that Kumeo is trying to point out. Let's concentrate on that. So how can be we more service JACL-wise to them?

I\lARUTANI-T would like to sug/(est that Kumeo come up with speCifics. How do we implement what he says-It is Important tOl' the organiza­tion to be concerned about OUI' farm members. I agree, we should be concerned, but how? Then he goes on to talk about organizing farm cooper­atives. That's out-of-line. I wou1d rather see, instead of this memo Crom Kumeo, some hard specifics, pro g ram s. dead lines and what we're sup­posed to do.

MATSUOKA -I'm not too sure thaL it isn ' t JACL's af­fair. whenever anything is af­fecting persons o( Japanese ancestry. be he worker, em­ployer, etc. I think as an or­ganization. it should bc our business tn be involved. It's Tea l1y not fair to say we're not going to do anything in a sltuaUon like this. I can un­derstand why Cent.ral Cal then wanted JACL to look at this. But 1 thmk, though in select­ing Wa .... en. they wanted to re~educat.e or un-educate him. whichever way it went.

on , IASAIH _ As National

Plannin~ Commifsioner. I rmr­posely staycd awol'. They say when you're chairman, you got to acl Uke a cbair­man. But I felt thai Central Cal would not ha"e invited WalTen II t.hey dldn't think somelhing good could come out of this. and not iust to have a confrontation. I sin­cerely feel Ihal Central Cal though som.thin/! good for JACL would result.

Going back to Kumeo, he pomls to the transition of peo­ple movmg from the rural to the urban and we know tbis is happening. And in our Japa­nese American population. it \vas primarily agrarian and o\'er the years with many moving to the cities. This has created a problem and a J ACL problem because these JACL­ers left on the farms at'e sl1uggling for their livelihood. This is an economic problem, but we remember the state was socking the alien fisher­men exorbittlnl Hcense fees and J ACL came to the rescue There was a precedence when the economic Uvclihood at Japanese was at stake.

NISHIOKA - But wasn't that r a cia I discrimination? Weren't they singling out lhe J apanese at. that time? And this time, were they going afte the Japanese American farmers?

SATOW - As 1 understand it, Ihe original picket.ing was against the Japanese Amer­ican farmers . There was a Hakuiin larmer who was In between two Nisei and he was inadvertently picketed.

TSUJl1IfURA - This whole issue JACL can't seL aside. We should look into it. bul find out there is no racial discrimi­nation. I donl see how a na­tional man could become in­volved. I think it's wrong Ihen Ior us to back him up-be he a Nisei or a JACLer.

SHlMASAKI-is there any objection il we have James Kubota write thi s up? He's heard the situation.

lIfllRAKAI\fJ-But we' r e talking about Kumeo's memo a(\dressed 10 you. Shouldn't you respond?

SATOW - Let me w r i t e something on this in terms of overall. rural thing to bolster or encourage as a N atiohal OrganizaUon the membership on the farm and not this spe­cific issue raised by Central California Like, maybe I can suggest we change our con­vention dales to suit the rural areas. There are these kind of things we can think aboul.

SUGIYAi\lA-In trying to shred out this issue. 1 notice that the J ACL Conslitution talks about protecUng the welfare oC Japanese Amer~ icans. How do we define "wel­fareH ? What are the exclu­sions? It might be helpful to know for if it's a labor~man­agement thing, we're not to be involved; if it's economic, we're not involved. Perhaps It would be helpful to have some policy on some of the areas where we can so that district governors would know and point to the policy and say these are the areas where we can get involved. I can also tell the chapters the same thing. It's very difficult In the judgmental area when or where we stop to be concern­ed about the welfare of Ja­panese Americans.

IIfARUTANI - I go along generolly with what Jim Tsu­iimur. said that we should look into lhe question with­out making any prior anaiy­sis ii there are Nisei affected. JACL should cedainly be con­cerned initially and have an open mind and listen. In an­swer to your specific question. howevel" 1 would think lhe test of litmus paper should be: arc these people being involv­ed because of their race. be­(!ause they are Nisei. Il the an­swer to that is "yes", then the door is reelly wide open lor JACL to go in.

MAT UI-Within our own office at Southern California. on the question, "when do we come in?", be it in the realm oI civil service or private company complaint, we listen to it. II It is a labor-m.nage­ment Ihing. they would have to show racia l discriminallon Even a hint of II in a parti­cular area. Were these thngs

MAT UOKA - So vou do look at it and make this InIUal study to determine whether there is racial dscrimnahon. You do not tum him off be­cause it'! &I labor .. manat:cment problem but you aay let me take a. look and see if there Is a problem thai concerns JACL. .

lIIARUTANl_ 1 don't. I would think if he were white, he would still be picketed. He's being picketed because is is a councilman.

SHIlIIASAIU-But thc pic­keting is done because the de­cision at the council was to pick a Caucasian inslead of a Mexican American.

'RESTRICTED AREA' SIGN

What requires comment Is the arUcle on page I of the October SIb issue of the PC entitled "Detention Camp Sel Up Under Title II, etc."

The article caught my at­tention when it first appear­ed in the Hokubel Mainichi, but at the time I didn't think the error reflected in it was sigoJ!lcant enough to bring it to anyone's attention.

However, since it has ap­peared in the PC also, I've thought a litUe more about it and now believe that the mat.­ter should be sel straigbt be­lore someone inadvertently gets into trouble because of tbe erroneoUS implications of the article.

• The artlole in question in­

fers thai a facility adjacent to the Alameda County's Santa Rita Prison Fann is or was one o! the detention camps es­tablished under Title II of the Inlensl Security Act of 1950.

This implication is drawn from the fact that there is a s i g n posted at the facility stating: '·U.S. ARMY RES­TRICTED AREA. Admittance by Permission Only, Pursuant to Section 21, h1ternal Securi­ty Act of 1950 (SO U.S.C. 797". (Ita Iicizing added) .

'I' h e article furthermore quotes EdIson Uno as having stated, C; It President Nixon signs the repeal bill on his desk. Alameda County offo­cials can legally remove the signs they did not know ex­isted."

As most PC readers should be aware, the emergency de­tention camps were provided for under T'lie 11 (Emergen­cy Detention Act) of the In-

temal Secunty Act of 1950 and It was this part o( the law which was recently re-pealed. .

However. Section 21 refer­enced in the sign described in the news Item (now codified as section 797 of TlUe 50. U.S. Code) is in Title I (Subchap­ter I) of the Internal Secu­rity Act ot 1950 and has not been Tepealed. 50 U.S.C. 797 relates to the issuance of or­ders and regulations pertain­ing to the securily or protec­tion of military and naval equipment, facilities, material. etc. and the penalty for vio­lation 01 such regulations and oders.

Title 1 (Subversive Activi­ties Control Act o! 1950) is separale from the Emergency DetenUon Act.

And since paragraph b 01 section 797 (01' lhe old sec­tion 21) provides that "Every sucb regulaUon or order shaH be posted in conspicuous and appropriate places.". signs si­milar to the one spotted near Santa Rita are still likely to be encountered, particularly on or near military fac.ilities .

And since violation of a Ie­gitimale order under this sec­tion can subjecl a person to a fine of $5.000 and up to one year in jail, it would ap­pear 10 be prudent to believe the sign. (The sign near San­ta Rita mOil have been ob­solete and DO longer valid if the military activily had been removed. but I wouldn't have bel $5,000 on the chance.)

Tbougbt I would pass this along. just in case someone else sees another "Restricted Area" sign and might be led to believe thaI it's not valid.

1 was impressed, of course, ,vith all the cars. new build­ings and all the material items she didn't have 20 years ago. But I had heard about all of this beCore and wasn't sur­prised.

What did suddenly occur to to me riding around in Tokyo and Osaka was that all of the Japanese cars had English names-Bluebird, Crown, Co­rolla, Gloria, Cedric, etc.-not one Japanese name.

Then I began to notice that many consumer products and packaged goods had anglicized names. Watcbing TV commer­cials, I wondered if anything stiU retained its Japanese ti­Ues, though SHOYU and SA­KE are still holding oul.

Englisb words are used in daily conversation to a notice­able extent. This i.s even more true in business language.

I had asked several Japa­nese why so many products had angliCized names. Most seemed to think that a pro­duct must Cal'ry an anglicized name or if the name is Japa­nese it must be written in Ka­na sideways to sell .. . some­thing to do with snob appeal, I guess.

On a coffee sbop menu I saw had English on one side and phonetic sounds of the English words in Kana also. There was no Japanese on the menu at all and this was Dot a place catering to tourists. . .

General impression is that there is a continuing emphasis on westernization. JIm not sure where it's going to stop or what's happening to J apanese culture. I understand that some tbinking Japanese are concerned with their cultural identily. -Santana Wind.

Hawaii's businessmen with help of Republicans in the legislature are hoping that Congress will take action this session to end crippling long· 8hore strikes. en.

Reagan delivers

Nixon invitation

10 Japan Emperor TOKYO - Calitornia Gov. Ronald Reagan was reported to have delivered an invita­tion from President Nixon for a visit (0 the United States by Emperor Hirohito next year.

Under heavy cloud cover, six Zeros had approached the American lorce undetected. Bciore the Americans had time to fire a shot in de­fense, the Hrst Zero was div· lng for its target. While the Americans walched in borror, the Zero continued straight lor Ihe sbip.

In a blinding fla sh, the Zero crashed against the forwat<! cnd of the Santee's (ligbt deck, blasting an opening 15 leet wide and 30 feel long. As fire broke out and spread to the hangar deck, another Zero begon Its dive.

By this Ume, the Americans had opened up with antiair­craft [ire. A five-inch gun sent the diving plane into a spin; a second hit sent it Into the sea. A direct hit disinte­grated a third plane into blaz· ing fragments. The defenders shot do,vo a fourth .

At about 8,000 feet, a fifth Zero circled in search of a target, lound It and began its dive. The gunners concentrat­ed their lire on this plane and scored; the descending plane lurcbed and trailed

The author explores the ori­gin and evolution at the thlnklng that led so many Ja· panese to gladly sacrifice their lives. "The kamikaze pi­lots' sacrifice was useless as are all wars, but those J apa . nese heroes gave the world a great lesson in purity. From the depths ot their ancient past they brought a forgotten message of human grandeur.

1970 U.S. CENSUS

A month before the 1970 U.S. Census was taken, we said in this column not to be surprised if the popula· tion of the Japanese in the U.S peaked over 750.000. Last week. the U.S. population by color and race was released (see above). So, how come we were so far off? Only reply we have is another question: were the siblings of Japanese mothers married to Caucasians listed as Japanese, as was the practice in the past?

With the residents tlris past year being asked to fill out the form and mail it in. the head of the house­hold may not have made that distinction. The elec· tronic computer merely read the forms. thus the explanation of " race" as stated in the Census publica­tions makes sense.

"The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau does not denote clear· cut scientific definitions of bio· logical stock. Rather it reflects self-identification by respondents. Since the 1970 Census obtained the in· formation on race principally through self·enumera· tion, the data represent essentially self·classifictaion by people according to the race with which they inden· illy themselves. For persons of mixed parentage who are in doubt as to their classification , the race of the person's father is used.

"Persons of Mexican or Puerto Rican bil'lh or an· cestry who do not identify themselves as of a race 'olher than white' (e.g., American Indian, Negro, etc.), are classified as 'white'."

.. .. .. There have been mixed feelings about the govern·

ment asking about the race of an individual We reo call one case of a Japanese in Michigan who refused to indicate his race for the 1960 Census. Some civil rights and Negro groups at one time felt the racial designation would be an invasion of one's right of privacy. Moreover, they were insisting we stick with the basic intent of the census-a decennial reappor­tionment of tile House of Representatives. (More re­cently with Ule growing ~ mphasis on the one man·one vote rule as a result of the Supreme Court decision, the census figures apply to local and state legislative bodies.)

. But JACL was more concerned in securing the raCial breakdown for the social values derived by such information when the question came up prior to the 1970 Census. Politically. we felt the information by race might develop confidence and awareness t o· ward stronger commitment and participation. Socially, we felt the data were needed for effective programs by government, industry, unions and associations to combat discrimination in housing. employment and education. JACL saw the collection of data by race as enhancement of the government's role to insure gen­uine equality in socie ty.

JACL also preferred the breakdown of " Oriental" t o Japanese. Chinese, Korean, etc., on the premise that citizens of these various ancestries have problems peculiar only to them and not to the others. Some res· l~ents who received the longer form were also ques­tioned aobut whether they were naturalized., when they came to the U.S .• what language other than English was spoken when he was a child-questions which JACL felt would provide helpful information.

Japanese Americans are dis­turbed about the chilled rela­tionship between the U.S. and Japan. They wonder II it \vill bring another period of dis­crimination against them.

One even warns of "a sec .. and Dec. 7." meaning not an­other attack on Pearl Harbor but rather another wave of resentment against the NIsei such as that attack touched off.

It seems clear from our ex­p!-!flence that the only way we can nationalize CIP is to hire "Foxes" to service each district, and even then one "Fox" might not do the trick. Meanwhile we have to settle for CIP functions in a resource reiationship to the districts. as Warren explains. .

I was glad to see that a decision had been made to reopen the Yellow Brotherhood Center. Hopefully the ct,rug abuse program that Willie Fujinami reports on will work.

In keeping wit~ the times, I note that some of the Fox .reports deSCrIbe the preparation of proposals to obtaill grants for program funding.

Ross Harano, National LegtslatIve Chan-man, recently pointed out the impor­tance of S 2466, by Senator Sam Ervin, being reported out by the Judiciary Committee, as contrasted to ~ 2294 and HR 9969, both of which would give addi. tlonal powers to the Subversive Activities Control Board: We don't. need new leases on life for those in­effective, potentially destructive and revenue wasting governmental anomalies like th~ SACB.
