Editors Note: This will be one
of two JACL ADC-supported bill
to be considered by the House thi,

H. r. 1909, has also been placed or
the Consent Calendar.
Representative Louis E. Graham
of Pennsylvania, Rep. will be ir
charge of the bill during the House
consideration this week, the ADO
office learned.
The Pennsylvania congressman
is a member of the Subcommittee
on Naturalization and Iimmigra-
ton and is the author of the report
which accompanies the deportation
staying bill.
Purpose Of H. r. 1866 is to extend
the authority of the Attorney Gen
eral to adjust the immigration sta
tus of certain deportable aliens.
Graham explained in the report.
Under this bill the Attorney
General will be given the author
ity to suspend deportation and ad-
just the status of persons racially
Ineligible to naturalization.
This does not mean, of course.
that such persons become racially
eligible for naturalization" he add
ed 1T merely gives them a law

In further explanation of the
bill, Graham pointed out that H. R.
1866 will tend to decrease the ever
increasing number of private bills
that are being introduced for the
relief of aliens"
The bill will involve more than
1000 Japanese in this country who
are subject to deportation, the A
DC office pointed out.
Additional views on H. r. 1866
were presented in the report by

This Is Milton K. Ozaki

/ office is packed with few scien-
tific treaties on sex xand crimino-
logy and other source material fol
violent and sedate crimes. Milton
Ozaki reads them all but shows
an expansive mind in his interest
in other forms of creative writing.
OWNED BEAUTY SHOPS
Milton used to make a living
from ownership of a chain of
beauty shops. At one time he was
even an accountant. But from the
beginning he had a bent for crea-
tive writing. He majored in Eng
lish at Rippon college, Wisconsin.
In his first year in college, he
took the entire field in the mid
west intercollegiate conference in
a debate contest. After Ripon he
travelled cbummed" was the word
Milton used) all over the country.
He came to Chicago and decided
there wasn't a better place to
stop, New York and San Fran
cisco Notwithstanding. 1--WE won't
even mention Los Angeles.)
PROBLEM is FORM
Mystery writer Milton K. Ozaki
finds that in planning his story his
,,roh1o,,1 ic mora IL, itc fo,,,, +la,,
plot. He explains that form" is
problem of craftsmanship, of
buildup and the comedown. The
writer hacks away at the story,
realizes after his laborings that
the structure of the story around
page 156 has come to a climax, at
which point he starts Tightening
up the sorty to conclusion.
Not a few mystery writer's work
out long elaborate charts with
disgrammatic upswings, curves, and
downswings in tackling the prob
lem of form. One of them has all
his walls covered with these
graphs.
Miltons first book, "CuckOo
Clock" published by Ziff-Davis
of Chicago, is classified as a
mystery type, and his second,
soon to be published by the same
company, 80 Fiend in Need" is
a detective type. The distinction
is important since it affects the
whole shape of the story. Milton
prefers the detective type, finding
it more flexible to handle.
For a crude example: The mys-
terry type puts out clues on pages
16, 81 and 1873. which, il you are
unable to piece together by page

INCOME FROM LIBRARIES

what to do without them.
INCOME FROM LIBRARIES
Income in mystery writing comes
in the main from purchases by
rental libraries. These can ne
found in drugstores, small book
shops or in rural confectionery
stores, where for five cents one
can borrow book for a week or
two. here are enough of these
libraries to assure a steady enough
income and thereby keep mystery
writer's alive. Milton estimates
that writer of mysteries has to
turn out about fouf books a year
for livable income. Some of the
productive land prolix) have aver
aged as high as a book a month.
However, it has always been i'm

ers, who as a class have never
been notable for generosity, that
the mystery writer's receive an
equitable share of the profits. In
order to improve upon these con-
tracts, the writer's have organized
themselves into the Mystery Writ
ers of America.
ELECTED PRESIDENT
Recently the Chicago chapter of
the Mystery Writers of America
elected Milton Ozaki its president.
At the groups regular meetings
topics generally discussed are, of
all things, robbery. blackmail and
murder. One Of the groups favor
