MELTING POT
REALLY MELTS

Nervous ma1n-landers VINO worry
because so man, people in Hawaii
are of Japanese descent-and hence,
presumably, bad material for the
American melting pot-ought to
talk to Samuel King, Hawaii dele
gate to congress. King likes to tell
how completely Americanized the
Hawaii-born Japanese are. Here is
one Of his anecdotes:
"One japanese woman Who was
born and grew up near Honolulu
went to Japan to visit relatives not
long ago." says King. when she
came back she was completely dis
illusioned. She said: AT home l
cook with gas; in Japan I cooked
over a charcoal braZier. At home l
ride in my own car; in Japan l
had to walk. At home 1 have my
electric washing machine; in Japan
T had to take the clothes down to
the creek and scrub them by hand.
At home I go to the movies twice
g, week; in Japan I couldn't even
do that!'
Concludes Delegate King: mo
one need worry about possible dis
loyalty on the part of Japanese
descent citizens in Hawaii. They're
thoroughly Americanlzed.

SENATE EXPECTS

Disagreement Over Airport
Construction Delays
Adjournment


Washington, Oct. 3 -AP The
last big defense appropriations
bill OF the session was expected
to slide through the Senate with
out difficulty today, but disagree
ment over a preparedness airport
construction program put a new
stumbling block en- the rocky
road to a recess for Congress.
Senate leaders saw quick APP
prevail for the House-approved ST.

sure, which Is TO finance the
peacetime CONSUMPTION program
and the concurrent expansion OF
the standing army.
The outlook was quite different,
however, for a $500. 100000 war
department civil functions bill,
which contains an $4,000, 900
item for the start of work on A.
900 new airports. A brewing fight
on the airport building program
threatened to delay Senate action
on this legislation.
Recess plans, accordingly, were
up in the air. Congress started
the week with hopes of cleaning
up the legislative calendar and
getting away by Sunday. Now,
however, the recess talk was in
terms of some day next week.
The S1,4S2, 693,6S6 defense ap-
preparations bill called up for &C.

OF $12,700,000 over the House
