Japanese Makes
citizenship Plea

NASHVILLE - amp - An end
to the bars which prevent Japa-
.nese from becoming American citi-
zens was urged here last week by
.Saburo KIDD, lawyer and president
of the Japanese-American Citizens
league, in speech to the Insti-
tute of Race Relations of the
American Missionary association at
Fisk university here.
The 90,928 Japanese Americans
now living in this country cannot
qualify for citizenship because of
the naturalization bars against
them, Mr.. KIDD said.
Declaring that no specifications
] of race, religion or natural origin
should exist as a basis for citizen
ship in a democracy, the Salt Lake
City lawyer stated that restrictions
against the japanese remain al
though similar bars against Filipi-
nos, East Indians, and Koreans
have been relaxed.
GOOD JOB DONE

done a good job in the disposal of

COMPETITION CITED

on the other hand, SONS colored
business men here have openly
told VA training officers they
would not accept veterans Tor on

they felt they would be training q
man who would later compete with
them in their particular fleld OF
h,1siness. Others have baked at
having the veteran the minimum
wage of SIG a week of a forty

Typical of the arguments adj
vanced by colored business men
when approached on placing vete-
rams in their shops was that oil

the VA first sent him to Hampton

be a graduate of a top embalming

The Lichtman T'heaters, chain
of movie houses operating IN the
District of Columbia, Maryland
and Virginia, first informed the
Veterans Administration that it
was greatly interested In an on

recently stopped negotiating with
the VA on the matter.
At a meeting with VA officials,
officials of the chain told VA rep
resentatives the theater C h n
could train business administrators

accountants in on-the-job posi-

officer began talking salaries for
the veterans the theater chain
suddenly lost interest.

Limit Strength

Action Based On
Report Of Gillem
Board As To Ratio

WASHINGTON - IN " Pa -
Although the Army needs an aver
age strength of 1,279,000 men to
meet it's manpower requirements in
the current fiscal year and inau-
gurated an intensive recruiting
campaign for voluntary enlist
ments in the Regular Army, the
War Department announced Tues
day suspensions of enlistments of
colored men.
It's action was based on the re-
port of Gillem Board to effect the
maximum efficient utilization of
authorized colored manpower in
the postwar army. The report es-
tablishes ratio of colored to white
manpower which exists in the civil
liam population, limiting colored
strength to ten per cent OF the
total strength.

men in the regular army approx
mates Is per cent Of the total. AS

tary enlistment in the regular
army totaled 717,144.
