Whisky Drought Eases Japanese American
0n Eve Of Holiday in Woman Writer Wins
War Alcohol Output Fight for Citizenship
Washington's whisky drought is

Washington's whisky drought is
easing up, it was learned today, as
dealers looked forward to increased
supplies following the August "holi-
day" from war alcohol production.
Increased stocks already are avail
able at many retail stores, with
some dealers actually in a position
to sell customers up to half a dozen
bottles of brands previously re-
stricted to one per person.
Dealers explained that a halt in
panic buying and the release of
wholesale stocks, now that more
whisky is in the offing, are RESPONSE
BILE for the improved situation here.
The supply. however, is in blended
whisky, not in straight brands.
Milton S. Kronheim, Washington
wholesaler and director of the
Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of
American, said the holiday" al
lowed distlllers by the War Produc-
ton Board has had the local effect
OF a return to sane buying.
People who used to 60 from store
to store swapping up every available
bottle of whisky are now buying
only for their normal needs" Mr..
Kronheim said.
Maurice Milestone, manager of
one OF the city's largest retail stores,
at 927 Pennsylvania avenue NV,
said the holiday already has re-
suited in wider distribution of
blended whisky here, although little
straight whisky is available.
Meanwhile. the WPB announced
that 81 of the country's SO registered
distillers plan to produce alcohol
during August. In addition, 10 in
dustrial alcohol producers have an
ncunced that they will divert so per
cent of their output to beverage use
during the month.
In general, the war alcohol out
look was described as favorable, with
l943 estimate needs of 604 900 900
gallons of l90-proof alcohol OFFSET
by an estimated potential supply of
500 300 900 gallons.

Spain and u. ). Join
In Assisting French
Refugees 10 Liberty
Bx JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Since the Anglo-American in
vasion Of North Africa in the fall
OF 1912, more than 5000 Frenchmen
have slipped across the Pyrenees and
through Spain. many of them to join
the Fighting French. it was learned
today at the State Department.
Arrangements for evacuation of
these refugees were made with the
Spanish government by the Ameri-
can Embassy in Madrid.
At the same time, it was learned
that thousands of "stateless persons"
mostly Jews. have been able to
escape the Germans by fleeing
through Spain with the aid of the
American Embassy and various
American relief organizations repre-
sented in Madrid.
Carlton J. H Hayes. United States
Ambassador to Spain, Is now in
Washington comforting with the
State Department on the refugee
problem, as we'll as others connected
with Spains relation to the war.
Many Come to U. S.
During the present year alone, it
was revealed at the State Depart
ment. more than 10000 persons have
f1ed through Spain from the Nazi
terror. Many OF them have reached
the United States or other American
republics. All of this, it was said,
has been carried out with the aid
and cooperation of the Spanish
government.
Until last year. 1t was explained,
the various American organizations
aiding refugees from France oper-
ated separately. Then, under the
guidance OF the American Embassy
and with the consent of the Spanish
government, there was set up in
Madrid an organization known as
the Representation in Spain of
American Relief Organizations.
Among the group cooperating in
this central bureau are the Amer
ican Friends Service Committee, the
American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee. the Unitarian Service
Committee and the War Relief
Services of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference. Heading their
work in Madrid is David Blicken-
stan, who, the State Department
says, Is an experienced administra-
tor who had served previously in
relief work in both France and
Spain.
Spain Recognizes Agency.
This central representation is
recognized by the Spani.h govern
ment as the agency mainly concerned
with the relief of refugees, and
works in close cooperation with the
Embassy.
The job of the central representa-
ton, it was said, is to feed and
house those who dodge the border
guards along the Pyrenees until their
Recommendation is in order and thev
obtain transportation across Spain
to some port of exit.
The Spanish government itself, ac-
cordlng to State Department
source, has taken the initiative in
eVacuating some of the "stateless"
groups from German occupied terri
tory. For example, it recently ar
ranged the evacuation of some 500
Sephardic Jews who We're about to
De transferred to camps in Poland.
Spain is presently negotiating, it was
said, for the release of an additional
100 Sephardic Jews and of a group

PHILADELPHIA, July 2l.-Fed-
eral Judge William H. Kirkpatrick
ruled yesterday that a Media pa
woman writer is a United States
citizen although she was born In
Tokyo Of japanese father and an
American mother.
The decision. Judge kirkpatrick
commented, cuts through "a century
OF obscure and hopelessly conflict
ing court decisions. contradictory
department rulings and fragmen-
tary legislation"
The Woman Is Mrs. Hilda Mary
1samu Kali Watkins. 48, a descend
ant of Eli Whitney, inventor OF the
cotton gin.
Both the Treasury Department
and the Bureau of immigration and
Naturalization had ruled that Mrs.
Watkins, a brother and four sisters
were aliens even though their moth
er returned to this country in 1900
and remained separated from her
Japanese husband until her death
in 1885.
Permanent" Separation Upheld.
The mother left her husband,
Umetaro Kali, because he had "un-
Occidental relations with other and
Japanese women" Mrs Watkins tes-
titled. Kali was the son Of Count
Katsu. japanese statesman.
Judge kirkpatrick upheld Mrs,
Watkins contention that by re-
turning to the United States her
mother established a permanent
separation from Kali, thereby re-
patriating herself and giving Amer
ican citizenship to the children.
The Federal agencies had sought
to compel Mrs. Watkins and the
other children of the marriage to
register as aliens and submit to
having their money and property
frozen"
Confirms Others Citizenship.
Counsel for Mrs. Watkins said
Judge Kirkpatrick's decision would
confirm the citizenship of the
others: William Kali OF Cleveland
Mabel Caroline Yuki Kali, Winifred
Kino Kali and Elsie Vie Kali OF
Baltimore and Mrs. Bertha Adeline
MAXI Kaji MacGilvary of Pitts
burgh.
Mrs. Watkins. wife of a Baldwin

neer. asked the Federal District
Court to define her citizenship sta
tus two years ago. Representatives
OF the immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service did not indicate whether
they would appeal the decision.
