The House Wednesday passed
Senate-approved resolution to ex-
tend fer six months more the time
limit for starting court-martial or
other proceedings against the army

with Elmer Sears, organization
chairman, that this is not a vigi-
lante organization but established
mainly to protest any possible re-
turn of American-JapaneSe to this
area.
Last week it was reported by ship
