HOUSE PROBERS
 HEAR JAP VIEWS
 IN IMMIGRATION
Americanized Japanese Tells Committee He Is Opposed to Intermarriage And Further Immigration Until Country Can Assim- ilate Them
rRepunIIcan A. p. Leased WireJ

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA sharp division of opinion as to whether con- ditions at Angel Island immigration station were as bad as one member of the house immigration committee painted them, and the views on assim- ilation expressed by two American citi- zens of Japanese parentage, who saw military service overseas, were the cen ter points of interest in today's session of the committee.
 Several members of the committee objected vigorously to Representative Isaac SiegeTs assertion that the station was "a dirty hole" and the worst sta tion in the country"
 Investigators Clash
 When MT. Siegel proposed that the station be thrown open to newspaper men, Representative John Raker re- piled that his colleague was only seeking publicity.
 Well. you have been doing that all the way through this hearing. and everyone knows it. retorted MT. Siegel.
 Although tired from a week of all most continuous day and night ses sions. the committee showed interest when Chairman Johnson called for a group of American born Japanese men and women, all welleand in some cases fashionably dressed.
 T. N. Slocum, one of the witnesses, described himself as the only Japanese sergeant major in the American over seas forces. He said he served in Sergt Alvin York's regiment and had had a brother in the Canadian army killed at Vimy Ridge. His English name came as the result Of adoption into an American family in North Da- kota years ago.
 He said his father was the only Japanese who ever patented a home stead in this country, it's location being near Manitou, N. D. His naturalization came through service in the army, he said
 He told of education in American schools. of playing football on the Minot, \. D., team and of considering the cry of F'Kin that Jap" as part of the game that could be forgotten after ward.
 Opposes lntermarriaee Now
 "Do you believe in intermarriage? ?" inquired Congressman Box.
 "Well, I don't believe Japanese and Americans have come to that stage of understanding where they would be happy together" replied the witness.
 Do you think more Japanese ought to come to this country" asked Con gressman Baker.
 'fThat depends entirely on whether you want them" was the reply q agree that it is undesirable to admit low laboring class that will lower the standard of living. But believe some kind of everlasting understanding be- tween the United States and Japan must come. I don't believe in divided allegiance, but it certainly does hurt, after you have fought for your coun- try, to see in a newspaper over a photo graph of children of your own race, born in this country. the title Cute But Yellow"
 He said he believed it would be a benefit to both nations to admit Jap anese to this country only as fast as l they could be assimilated.

Plant Plenty Of Potatoes.

If you have any garden space to spare,
by all means plant some of it to potatoes.
This is the advice of the United States
Department of Agriculture To gardeners
who want to avoid the high prices for
potatoes which seem to be in prospect
for next fall. The early crop of potatoes
in the southern States is now we'll advanc-
ed and soon there will he supply OF new
potatoes on all the markets. These VIII
last but a short time. however and cannot
be depended upon for use next winter
The late or main crop produces most OF
the potatoes that go into storage ana
supply the markets all through the winter
months. Home gardeners can help 10
make this supply adequate.
Land that is now in early garden crops
in some sections may be planted to late
potatoes after these crops have been
removed. Any vacant or unused land,
even though it may be a little rough and
difficult to handle, may often be made TO
produce good potatoes. Even the oack-
yard will help to produce the 'spuos
for the family table if it is not too shady
There is likely to be much unused farming
land this year and groups OF city men couid
we'll afford to plant this land to potatoes
on a share basis.
Seed potatoes are scarce and high IN
price, but bushel Of seed will plant one
tenth of an acre and should produce IL
to 20 bushels of potatoes, or winter
supply for a family of FIVE. This certainly
is a most alluring prospect, when one
considers the,appalling prices now charg-
ed for potatoes IN our local maiSe'''
There is plenty of ground ava'lanlc TOT
