Petition Seeks 10 Bar
U. S.-Born Japanese
From Casting Votes
San francisco Resident
Asks High Court Ruling
On Groups Eligibility
By the Associated Press.

Contending that dishonesty, de
ceit and hypocrisy are racial char
acteristics Of the Japanese" and that
this makes them unfit for American
citizenship, resident of San Fran
cisco asked the Supreme Court yes
terday to bar japanese born in the
United States from voting.
A petition filed by U. S. Webb,
San Francisco attorney for John
T. Regan, sought a review of de-
cision by the Ninth Federal Circuit
Court which was said to hold that
japanese persons born in this coun-
try are citizens of the United States
ard hence eligible to vote.
Mr.. Regan instituted action
against Cameron King, San Fran
cisco registrar of voters, in an ef-
fort to strike the names of a group
Of American born Japanese from
register of those held qualified to
participate in elections.
Japanese Are Denounced.
Japanese wherever born are not
citizens of the United States" the
petition asserted, adding that voting
by Japanese constituted an invasion
If Mr.. Regan's rights as a citizen.
THE record of events since the
adoption of the constitution, in
cluding Pearl Harbor, Singapore,
Bataan, Guadalcanal, and hun
dred other fields and waters in
which American citizens have been
slaughtered by Japanese" the petit
tior said, proclaim in thunder
tones that Japanese citizenship con-
hict with the objectives of the con-
stitution, nor should the execution,
the martyr Of American prisoners
of war, but few days ago dis
closed, be overlooked.
Let no one conclude that this
was an abnormal act of the Japa-
nese government nor that it is un-
approved by the japanese people
These atrocities are not the result
of change in the government OF
Japan or in the Japanese people
These murders were but normal
happening of the Japanese govern
ment as created and as maintained
for the $500 years of its existence.
Ruling Is Cited.
Asserting that the Supreme Court
never had decided whether Japanese
born in this country are citizens
of the United States but had ruled
As years ago that citizenship was
extended to Chinese born in this
country, the petition added:
TT is believed that the difference
in racial characteristics of the two
people and the difference in the
objectives of their respective gov
ernments may justify the conclus-
ion reached in respect to Chinese
while compelling decision that
citizenship of japanese is not thus
granted
Whether the Supreme Court will
review the controversy will be an
nounced In a few weeks.

cruits?

WFA Moves 10 Expant
Supplies Of Beef for
Purchase by Services
All Temporary Quotas
For Cattle Slaughter
Suspended During Moy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Food Administration
moved yesterday to route a larger
portion Of beef cattle through Fed
erallv-inspected slaughter houses so
the Government might have a bet
ter chance of optaining supplies of
beef for the armed forces.
Under slaughtering quotas in ef-
feet during April such a large DOR
tion Of the supply was handled by
local butchers and slaughterers that
the Government was unable, the
VITA said, to fill military require
ments. Government purchases are
limited to Federally inspected meats.
Civilian Areas Also Affected.
Likewise, civilian areas which de-
pend largely on Federally-inspected
supplies were said to have received
disproportionately small amounts.
To enlarge Federally-inspected
supplies, the VIA suspended, dur
ing May, all temporary beef slaugh-
ter quotas and temporary increases
in quotas to local butchers and
slaughterers.
Temporary increases in such quo
tas were granted last month under
certain emergency conditions to al
leviate local beef shortages and to
add to quotas of those whose base
slaughter quotas were considered too
low on the basis of their facilities
and meat needs.
For the same reason, temporary
quotas were granted those slaugh-
terers who were not in operation
before April /, when the present
livestock slaughter permit system
went into operation.
Measures Diverted Supplies.
The VIA said that while the
temporary measures operated to al
leviate local shortages in many
instances, they resulted in the diver
sion OF cattle away from slaughter
houses that meet Government re-
quirements.
Beef slaughter quotas for May for
local slaughterers were established
at 80 per cent of their May, 1941,
trade, the same percentage as in
April.
The May beef quota for local
butchers remains at 100 per cent
of their slaughter for the corre-
spending period in 1941.
May quotas for other types of
meats-such as pork, lamb and
mutton-remain the same as in
April.

Our hearts stin ache with sadness,
Our eyes shed many tear,
God only knows how We miss you.
At the end Of one sad year.

Nazi U-Bodt Claims
Are Lowered Again
$4,000 Tons Of Shipping
Reported Sunk in 10 Doys
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. June II. - Another
marked drop in German U-boat
claims was made today by the Ger
man war communique which said
Nazi submarines had sunk nine more
Allied ships totaling $4,000 tons.
This report, which was without
Allied continuation, was the only
German claim of Allied ship sink
ings by U-bcats this month.
The $4,000 tons claimed by the
Germans for the first 10 days In
June indicates a monthly rate of
10000 tons, or one-third of the
100000 tons which the Nazis claimed
in May
Prime Minister Churchill told the
House OF Commons Tuesday that
May was "the best month we have
had in the U-boat warfare since the
United States was attacked by Ger
many, Italy and Japan"
The German announcement also
appeared to confirm Mr.. Churchills
further declaration that the first
week in June was the best ever for
many, many months past" in the
anti boat warfare, which was
said to have been given priority over
a second front by the Casablanca
conference.

Citizens Petition on National Representation
To the Congress of the United States:

Your petitioners the Citizens Joint Com
mittee on National Representation for the
District of Columbia, and the Presidents of
its Constituent and Cooperating Organiza-
tlons, whose names are subscribed below.
hereby reafflrm the principles proclaimed by
the founders of our Republic that
Taxation without representation is
tyranny;
Governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the
governed:
and in order that
Government of the people. by the
people and for the people may be-
come an accomplished fact for ALL
the people of the United States,
respectfully represent:
That the over one-half million totally
disfranchiSed and unrepresented citizens of
the United States resident in the District of
Columbia obey national laws, outnumber the
residents of each of twelve States and pay
more national taxes than each of twenty-five
of the State.
That over two decades ago, when they
outnumbered only six States, they supplied to
the Army and Navy of the United States
larger number of men than any one of seven
of the States and oversubscrbed their quotas
of all wartime funds.
That again in the present war for the
preservation of the principles of democracy
and civilization as against despotism and
barbarism thousands of these voteless and
unrepresented Americans of the District of
Columbia are now by voluntary enrolment
and by draft serving in the armed forces Of

Burrows Tells Holders

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 26.-Arthur S.
Barrows, president of Sears, Roe5uck
& Co., told stockholders at their
annual meeting today that sales and
profits would decline in 1943, but
that the Notwithstanding condi-
tions-should be satisfactory.
so far as this year is concerned"
he said, there is nothing to worry
about as far as the stockholders are
concerned. There is no question in
my mind about our being able to
maintain the present dividend. A
year from now, however, there is
no telling what conditions will be-"
Barrows said the company was in
the strongest financial position in it's
history despite the prospect of less
business and profits. He added that
ne was more optimistic now than
two Or three months ago because
we have learned to change our bust
ness to meet present conditions"
The mail order house executive
said current sales were not satisfac-
tory along the Eastern Seaboard, but
that other parts of the country were
doing better than had been antici-
pated. He added that mail orders
seemed to show more improvement
than retail stores sales.
Merchandise is difficult to get, he
said, but store managers show much
ingenuity in finding items to replace
hard lines such as radios, refrigera-
tors ard plumbing equipment. He
added that the manpoWer situation
was quite serious.
