ROME-Angry because of the
refusal of a Spokane, WASH, Vet
eran of Foreign Wars Post to ac-
cept into the membership a Nj
sci veteran wounded in the last
days of fighting in Italy, Col. v. r.
Miller, commander of the 442nd
Japanese-American Infantry Regi-
ment. last week sought the aid
of the War and Interior Depart
ments in combating this type of
discrimination.
The rejected veteran is Pvt.
Richard H. Naito, a native of Spo-
kane. who applied for membership
in Post 81 of the WV. His ap-
plication was turned down. Naito,
a member of the 442nd, was
wounded in the right leg by Ger
man bullet when his outfit was at
tached to the Ninety-second Diyi-
sion in the final campaign of the
Italian war.
Colonel Miller, commander of
the 442nd, has sent strongly word
ed letters to the Secretary of In
terror, Harold Ickes, and Assistant
Secretary of War John J. McCloy,
protesting this discrimination. In
writing to Helbig, commander
of the VFDW post, Colonel Miller
demands that he correct this
grave injustice to an individual
and to a great American tradi-
ton"
Colonel Miller adds: when
supposedly reputable organizations
such as yours violate the prinei-
piles and ideals for which we fight,
these REPRESENTATIONS are not
the only ones to wonder about our
war aims. Millions in Europe and
Asia, too, will learn of your ac-
ton and question the sincerity of
American policy and ideals"

''Mr. Harris was the minister
of the Grace Brsgyterian Church
for fifteen (15) years and is we'll
acquainted with the Pacific North
west. The appointment of Mr..
Harris to this new position is a
logical step, in view of the rapidly
growing needs of many new fam
lilies and individuals who have
come to our section. 1t will be
our new directors responsibility
to integrate views and activities
of the various races, so that a
spirit of Christian Brotherhood
may exist.
After completing his high school
preparatory work, Mr.. Harris at
tended a Presbyterian college and
seminary, the ]. c. Smith Univer-
sity. This was followed by another
year of graduate study at Column
bia University. where he did his
major work in political science.

In Community Fund Work, and
has been president of the Seattle
Urban League, as well as chair
man of the committee on Recrea-
ton and inforfal education. He

ing activities; is a member of the
N.A.A.C.P.; belongs to the Seattle
Presbytery; and is vitality inter-
ested in social welfare and labor
relations"
Mr.. Harris announces an inter

time DR.. George f. Haynes and
other well known consultants on
social and econofic problems will
participate. Details will be pub
lished later.

personal appearance at the Seattle
Civic Auditorium on this Friday,
August "a, starting at $3.50 D. m.
Ellis Coder, who is presenting
1.-THE Count" as the feature attrac-
ton on his band schedule this
summer has gone to tremendous
ends to make this engagement pos
sible. All of Basies many friends
and admirers in the Northwest
have long wanted to see him "in
person." Coder spoke to Basic
back in the'summer of 1913 about
the possibility of coming 10 Seat
tie. and he was very anxious to
tour this area, but his schedule
was such that it has taken this
long for the Count to fulfill his
promise. And in that time his
popularity has increased to the
point where today he is the great
est band in America! So it is only
natural that this engagement will
be the biggest thing to hit Seattle
in years. Count Basic will be here
for one night. only. His only APP
pearance in the Pacific Northwest.
Interest is very high for tickets
