WASHINGTON-Life moves on
like book Of short stories in
which the same characters re-
appear. except that in war the pace
is swifter, the events more dra-
matte, the tragedies so much more
frequent and poignant.
Here in this space, only a week
ago. there was related the story
of the American Legion Post OF
Hood River, Ore. which had erased
the names Of l6 Japanese-Ameri-
cans. or Nisei as they are called,
from its honor roll. and how Ma
tional Commander Edward N.
Scheiberling interviewed with the
post. in vain. to recall its action.
Now comes the story of one Of
the Is, Frank T. Hachiya. rs, Of
Portland, Ore. who died 4 hero's
death after . dangerous mission
for which he volunteered ut
Leyte.
II was one Of those sharp canoes
of war The regiment was in diff
cult position. Information OF the
disposition Of the enemy was
needed Hachiya volunteered 10
lead patrol across valley swept
by japanese fire.
He got out ahead o, the patrol.
A Jap sniper shot him through the
stomach. He was able 10 make his
way back up the hill But the
bullet had passed through his liver
He died on the operating table.
WHAT THE American boys who
served with him thought OF him is
shown by the fact that nearly
everybody in the regiment volun-
.eered 10 give blood transfusions
20 try 10 save his life
Will his name 30 back on the
honor roll:
In this same place, too. only a
week ago, was told me story Of
the Disabled American Veterans
Pos. al Hermiston, Ore. which had
voted against admission OF Japa-
nese-Amer!can or Negro veterans

Now comes the copy Of letter
which an American aviator a first

executive act or by legislative sub
mission.
True. the lesven Of democracy
is working in The thinking Of the
people of these states, and the de-
mand for the restoration OF free
suffrage is ever more, audible even
in the ranks Of the pitiful elector-
ate the tax has left 10 them. In
South Carolina. for example, where
only one citizen in twenty ever
knows what il is to vote in a Presi-
dental election. a constitutional
amendment TO kill the vote tax has
Just been proposed in Legislature.
The fact that Georgia has rot out
from under the tax device that
vitiates the whole structure OF
popular government is cheering TO
the people whose franchise still is
a joke. but actually their only real
hope OF regaining the free vote lies
in the other Legislature" the Con-
gress OF the United States"
What Georgia has proved, for
all 10 behold, is this
That the poll tax is anathema 70
the people who live under il and
will be exterminsted wherever and
whenever the people can get at il.
In Georgia. be il noted well, the
question was left not to the states"
but 10 the people II Is the duty
OF the Nation to contrive q means
for the presently disfrsnchised
majorlties OF the remaining poll
tax states 10 get at the question by
a free elective expression. One
free election - which. however.
the people Of these other states
cannot procure for themselves -

trick.

These difficulties will not be

Messrs. Roosevelt. Churchill and

in the right thinking OF men and

the activation Of certain high
sounding democratic principles
by getting them off paper and into
action. We have got TO prepare
ourselves for the excruciating pain
attending the REIMBURSEMENT Of
certain longtime prejudices and
misguided customs inherited from
past generations.
