PRIVATE BILLS
FOR 3 ALIENS

WASHINGTON. DC, Nov. 90
Private bills designed to permit the
permanent residence in the United
States of three Japanese aliens. two
of whom aided directly the war eff
fort against Japan in World War
II, have been reported out CT the
Judiciary Committee for early con-
sidcration by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Washington office
of the JACL ti-Discrimination
Committee learned today.
Representative Frank Fellows,
Republican of Maine. chairman of
the subcommittee on immigration
and naturalization of the House
Judiciary Committee, presented the
three private measures to the Low
er House this week. These bills
were favorably considered by the
subcommittee and by the full Jul
dietary Committee last spring but
they were approved too late for full
consideration by the Lower House
during the regular session which
eEded on July 81. The bills, pass
age of which would in effect pre-
vent the deportation of these ia
panese nationals, are supported by
the JACL-ADC.
The three separate measures af-

| tive director of the JACL-ADC
who was instrumental in securing
the introduction of these private
measures, reported today that ac-
ton on most of the other private
bills affecting possible deportees
has been postponed indefinitely
pending Senate consideration OF
H.R. 1856. This bill which gives
the Attorney General. discretionai y
power to stay the deportation OF
racially-ineligible aliens on the
same basis as those eligible for CT
tizenship, was passed by the House
of Representatives during the last
session.

MaSaOka Seeks
Early Study Of
Loss Measure

WASHINGTON, DC, Nov. Us
Senator John Sherman Cooper, Re
publican of Kentucky and chair
man of the special subcommittee
on the evacuation claims bill, was
strongly urged today by Mike Ma
saoka, national legislative director
of the JACL Anti Dissemination
Committee, to give early consider
aticn to evacuation claims legisla-
ton.
During the interview, Masaoka
dealt at length with the history of
the evacuation and the develop
ments in the legislative history Of
the evacuation claims bill. He
pointed out that aside from the
Administrators endorsement of the
evacuation naturalization pro-
gram, the recent report of the
Presidents Committee OH Civil
Rights had recommended prompt
Congressional action in reimburs-
ing losses occasioned by the eva
cuation. He recalled that the
House of Representatives last July
had unanimously passed H. r. 1899
and that an almost identical bill
had been approved by the Senate
during the closing days of the 10th
Congress.
The JACL-ADC legislative dir
ector. in concluding his interview,
urged the Senator to have his sub
committee report the bill out to
the full Judiciary Committee and
the Senate in time for their ap-
proval before adjournment of the
present special session of Congress
Masaoka also spoke to Senator
Warren G. Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington, the other member of
the special subcommittee for
prompt action on the bill.
The subcommittee was appointed
early this month by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee to consider the
evacuation claims bill.

Government Studying
End Of Powers Under
National Emergency
BY the Associoted Press

Government lawyers plunged
back into their studies today to
learn whether the 8-year-old
state Of national emergency can
be ended soon.
Some ITS war and emergency pow
ers designed to remain in force for
the duration" or longer were erased
at a single stroke yesterday.
One effect of that action, Presi-
dent Trumans signature Of a joint
congressional resolution, is to pre-
vent any new recruit to the armed
forces, today and hereafter, from
beneflting under the GI bill of
rights.
100 Other Powers Stay.
But for more than 100 other war
powers, the emergency is still on.
Some Administration officials said
they think it may be possible to
nullify it fairly shortly"
Mr.. Truman could do that by
proclamation. That would simply
reverse the procedure under which
President Roosevelt declared the
limited emergency" on September
8, 1899. shortly after Europe was
plunged into war, and the full
emergency" of May 27, 1941, when
most of the continent was falling
prey to Hitler.
The end of World War II itself,
for international purposes and for
domestic matters tied up with for
eign affairs, probably cannot be
declared until the peace treaties
are signed, these officials said.
Linked to the war and emergen-
cies are such powers as the author
ity to impose priorities on trans
portation; to seize alien property in
this country, to curb trading with
the enemy" and to preserve much
of the wartime "streamlining" of the
War, Navy and other departments.
In signing Senate Joint Resolution
1913, Mr.. Truman announced that
he was asking Attorney General
Clark to continue studies on all
problems involved in declaring the
end Of the war and the end OF
existing emergencies.
"We should complete the orderly
reconversion of the machinery and
operation of the Government to a
peacetime basis as rapidly as posi-
ble," his statement said.
There was every sign he would
move cautiously, however, since the
problem reaches beyond the Gov
ernment. Many private contracts
and labor agreements were drawn
to remain in force for the "dura-
tion," or some stated time there
after.

Maryland Senate Gets
Bill Raising Exemption
On Sales Tax 10 14c
BY J. B. Zotmon
Stos Stoff coyrespondent

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-Legislation
raising the exemption level Of the
2 per cent sales and use taxes from
purchases of 8 cents to IA cents was
reported to the State Senate today.
After heated session, the Senate
Finance Committee approved the
two bills but killed another bill
which would have empowered the
Board of Public Works to lower sales
tax returns If conditions permit.
Governor Lanes administration
approved increasing the exemption
level but yesterday withdrew its in
dorsement of the plan to give the
Board of Public Works additional
authority to act between General
Assembly sessions.
/ The committee voted to report
bill appropriating 100000 year
more to administer the tax which
| had been estimated to produce $25,-
100000 annually at the 9-cent ex-
emption level.
Industrial Coal Exempted.
The committee amended the tax
measures to exempt coal for indus
trial purposes from the levy.
Attorney General Hall Hammond,
Controller James J. Lacy and Walter
E. Kennedy, chief of the Sales Tax
Collection Division, were questioned
by Republicans on the committee
for an hour.
An attempt to amend the measure
and restore a provision of the pres
ent law on taxing food sold "off
premises" was defeated.
The committees action repre-
sented another administration vic
tory on the expanding fight over
the sales tax which has been in ef-
feet since July l.
The General Assembly moved into
the second day of its special session
with about score of the "a bills in
troduced yesterday scheduled to
come up for final passage in both
the House and Senate.
The opening day was featured by
an address by Gov. Lane and
brief wrangle in the House over
bill by Delegate S. Pete Pollack.
Democrat, of Baltimore to repeal
the sales tax
| Submits Other Bills.
| Three other bills were submitted
by Mr.. Pollack. One would return
to the counties all sales tax receipts
in excess of $19,000,0O0.
Another bill would sharply in
crease tax rates on railroads, cor
porations and power, telephone and
telegraph companies and would
raise the inheritance tax. The third
would legalize bookmaking. Mr..
Pollack estimated the tax increases
would raise about $18,000,000 an
nually while the bookmaking meas
ure would yield about $4,000, 900 a
year.
In his talk before joint session
of the Legislature, the Governor
said the States financial condition
is such that reduction in taxation
now can be considered.
| Earlier, the House and Senate
received antisales tax petitions
bearing the signatures of 4,200
Prince George County residents, IT,
