Nisei's Return
HeroIded by cIO

PORTLAND, Ore, May 8
(LPA)-Condemnation of at
tempts "to foster race hysteria"
aimed at American citizens OF
Japanese ancestry now return
ing to the west coast was voiced
by the Oregon State CIO Coun-
Gil at its last meeting.
The CIO body commended
the action of the War Dept. and
War Relocation Authority in
permitting the return of loyal
Japanese-Americans to the Pa
cific coast.
I'm view of the established
fact that thousands of our Jap
anese Americans are now serv-
ing their country with honor
and distinction on the battle
'front.'" the CIO resolution says,
1--WE believe that such action as
taken by the American Legion,
Hood River, Oregon, in erasing
the names of Japanese from the
honor rcll of World War II vet
erans, should be condemned as
regrettable and unjustifiable.
This attempt to foster race
hysteria must be recognized by
all Americans as threat to the
unity of our people and further
indicates a lack of confidence
in the judgment of our War De-
partment.

Speaking of the future Davis
declared, eve have to reconvert

have to raise the standard of liv-
ing 80 to 40%. You must have
an increase in the real income
of 30 to 40%. If we don't do
that we're sunk"
Labor leaders, however, have
contended that wage increases
are necessary Immediately and
that raises during a period of un-
employment and surplus labor
markets would be of little value
or else impossible.
In Washington the War Dept.

Rot
Says Avery

ST. LOUIS, May 8 QPA)-
Sewell Avery's contempt for
democratic ideas and the social
responsibility of American busi-
ness was given an editorial
roasting here last week by the
St. Louis "Post-Dispatch."
At Montgomery Wards an
nual meeting in Chicago one
stockholder declared" Some OF
us are more interested in the
responsibility of citizenship
than in the profits of the COM
pany."
That's just rot" Avery shot
back.
The Post-Dispatch declared
"It might have been just rot so
far as the election of directors
was concerned, for Avery won
handily. But it isn't Just rot
so far as most Americans are
concerned.
This is not the first time
Sewell Avery has shown his
contempt for the idea that the
business man should be con-
cerned with the responsibility
of citizenship. 1t is because OF
this feudalistic outlook that he
has termed the worst foe of the
free enterprise system.
Responsibility of citizenship
may be Just rot to Sewell L.
Avery, but it is matter of
deep devotion to the great mass
es of the people"

Truman Oks
Program

WASHINGTON, May 9th
0PA) A Presidential express
sion of confidence in OPA'S
handling of price control, and
especially of the current meat
shortage, failed to quiet Con
gressional attacks on admins
tration food policies last week.
President Truman, in a spe-
cial White House statement
gave "a word of deserved COM
mendation for an agency sub
iected to much criticism in re-
cent weeks" He added that
while mistakes probably hao
been made, Il think that ouI
price control and stabilizatior
program has been one of the
most remarkable achievements
of this war.
The great need for food ano
other civilian supplies for the
people of northwest Europe, un.
derlined by the special truce
which last week allowed pas
sage of food stuffs in American
trucks for the people of the
parts of Holland then still ir
German control, was agair
stressed by Truman.

dent stated, Shortages become
more acute. The requirements
of our military and naval forces
are great. We must supplan'
the economic resources of oui

Russia, China and France, who
have suffered great devasta
ton in this war.
"We must do our part ir

and pestilence in the areas libe
rated from Axis domination
These requirements place {
greater and greater strain or

of democracy has overcome its
deadly enemies in the far-flung
Pacific and Asiatic fronts. I am
sure that all CIO members will
join with me in pledging to stay
on the job until 1t is finished
and until we have a just and
lasting peace throughout the
world"
Thomas Makes Statement
r. j. Thomas in a message to
to the United Auto Workers
CIO said that the "Nazi's uncon-
ditional surrender means that
dictatorship cannot stand up
against democracy. The armies
of freedom have destroyed the
forces of totalitarianism."
Three tasks are to be faced
according to the UAW President.
/. Complete destruction of the
Jap war machine. 2. Establish
ment in Europe of just, work
able and lasting peace and 8.
Speedy conversion of all facil-
tiles not needed for the war
against Japan.
Thomas emphasized the need
for adequate take-home pay and
said that the present wages OF
the workers are not adequate.
Other Pledge Efforts
Other CIO and AFL leaders
expressing their satisfaction with
the defeat of Germany pledged
their continued support in the
allout effort to bring japan to q
speedy d. feat by devotine
themselves and their organiza,
tions to the job of getting out
the materials of war still re,
quired to win in the Pacific.

part, the news of the surrendel

Cutbacks To Continue
Cutbacks announced last weel

continue to increase in the mex
six months as the Pacific wa
increases in tempo. Labor lead
ers are now seeking to have tn
government release those in
dustries not needed for produc
tion in the Pacific war for con
version to peacetime production
and WPB officials have indi
Gated that this would be don
gradually.
| Plans for the continued pro
duction of war materials an

near future. In the meantime
labor Is continuing to put it
shoulder to the wheel to com
plete its part in the speedy de

coming of peace.

PR System
Continued from Page l

AAOAh ~
most effective way in which the
city manager plan could be
handled was by electing council
men under this system.
Specifically, Pecord stated
three main objections to the
system. /. Every citizens vote is
not equal, 2. The system is not
clearly understood, 3. 1t is bas-
ed upon rule by minorities.
Voicing the view of PAC
Pecord said, I'VE are opposed to
any system that tends to solidify
and perpetuate racial, religious
or other groups as such in the
political field. We think 1t is
un-American and political Jim
Crowism which defeats the ideal
of American political democracy
and maintains and nourishes ra-
cial, religious, nationality and
other obstacles which prevent us
from attaining greater civic
unity"
Cohn Defends PR
Mr.. Cohn opened his part of
the discussion by complimenting
the PAC for keeping the people
of Toledo awake to their polit1.
cal interest and arousing them
from their "lethargy."
Most of the former city coun-
cilmen's talk was spent in re-
viewing the political history OF
Toledo and stating that he had
been elected under the system
by a margin of four votes in
1895, the first year that the PR
system was used. He expressed
the view that it was fair anc
more honest than the system ir
(which the booth is locked ano
nobody can enter to watch the
count"
Following the discussion, there
was a question and answer per
. iod in which the principals, Mr.
Cohn and Pecord asked anc
answered each others questions

to explain the method of count
ing votes which was agreed t.

yet, Mr.. Pecord said that lega

petitions calling for repeal o
the PR system, but added tha
the new petitions were in tn,
: hands of the printers and woult
be circulated by the end of thi
week or early next week.

Let the Last Sons Live!

More recently, the story of the
Bergstroms, of Utah, became known.
Three Bergstrom boys were slain
in battle. The fourth was reported
missing" Then, at the frantic ap-
peal of the heartbroken mother, the
sole surviving son was sent home
with an honorable discharge.
And there have been numerous
other similar tragical instances.
The armed services now have a
regulation PERMITTING "last-in-
family" servicemen to be trans
ferred to nonhazardous" duty, or
to America, AT THEIR OWN RE
QUEST.
THE existing deficiency lies in the
fact that men of this caliber
usually do not care to spare them
selves and to make that kind of ap.
plication, and consequently stricken
families continue to be deprived of
all their sons.
The remedy as it is being
considered in the military affairs
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, is to relieve servicemen
of the hard choice, and to REQUIRE
BY LAW the AUTOMATIC dis
charge of the last surviving soldier
or sailor in family.
This humane action will save
many fathers and mothers from the
needless ordeal of draining the
utmost bitter drop of anguish.
It will dull at least little the
raw and rasping edge of war.
1t will preserve for America,
whensoever it applies, some portion
of an asset that would otherwise be
irreplaceably gone - the priceless
lineage of race of dauntless heroes.
