Bishop Lane
Departs For
San Francisco

Bishop Raymond A. Lane,
who succeeds Bishop James
E. Walsh as the third super
ior-general, left here today
Wednesday, aboard a Cas-
cade train for San Francisco
where he will stay for a few
days before sailing for Ha-
wall Saturday, Feb. %.
, He was honored at a reception
Tuesday afternoon in the Mary
knoll hall.
Bishop Lane baptized many
Japanese refugees in Fushun, Man.
churia, where he was the head of
that particular area, after his re-
lese from A months in prison.
Among the Maryknollers, Bishop
Lane was known as the superior
of the bandit mission" at Flu
shun, locale of the largest open-cut
coal mine. During the early days
of his work there, it was a thinly
populated area where Chinese were
homesteading by the thousands.
Law and order were unorganized
and bandits plagued the farmers
and new settlers.
Entering the seminary from the
Xaverian Brothers prep school at
Danvers, Mass, he was ordained
a Maryknoll priest in 1920. He
was among the first 25 to leave
for the mission fields.

Integration Of
Family Courses

Education for family living
cannot be an isolated course
in the school. 1t should be
migrated in all courses and
in all grades from pre-school
through university, according
to DR.. Mabel Lesher, educa-
tional consultant. American
Social Hygiene Association.
She was one of the main speak
ers at the Seattle-K King County
Social Hygiene Day meeting at
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
Monday. Her topic was "Educa-
ton for Family Living"
The foundation for fine adult
living and successful marriage
and parenthood is most important
and it depends more on the emo
tional reaction than on knowledge
of the facts. Therefore We must
build for emotional stability. Emo
tional development begins at the
moment of birth and the pre-
school period is the most import
ant period for development of fine
habits for living she said.
COunselOrs Needed
Particularly in high schools
counselors to whom the young
people can go easily and discuss
their problems are needed. They
are the ones that can hold out the
ideals and develop desires to Gre
ate fine homes.
We must understand that par
ents' personalities and habits UNI
consciously influence children as to
attitude toward marriage and
parenthood, for pre-school emo
tional disturbances leave perman-
.ent effects, she commented.
In examining the Army recruits
during the war who lacked emo
tional stability the Army discov-
cred that 80 per cent OF the homes
had given no training In sex edu-
cation, DR.. Lesher reported.

Won't Fight
Amendment on
Citizenship Bill

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb.
20-(JACL Dispatch)-Fol-
lowing a plea by Mike Ma
saoka, national legislative di-
rector of the JACL Anti
Discrimination Com m ittee,
Representative Charles R.
Clason (R) of Massachusetts
declared that he would not
object to an amendment to
his bill which would permit
naturalization of Issei parents
of American veterans.
The Ado official pointed out
that the parents of Nisei veterans
were entitled to the same consid-
Grafton as the parents of any
other American veterans and that
accidents of birth should have no
bearing on the right to become a
citizen of the United States.
Mr.. Clason's bill (H. r. 45) pro-
vides that the mother or father
of any individual who served in
the armed forces of the United
States and was honorably dis
charged shall be entitled to natur-
alization upon filing a petition for
naturalization and taking the
{ oath of remuneration and allegi-
ance in any naturalization court.
The bill provides, however, that
enemy aliens and those ineligible
for citizenship could not enjoy the
benefits of the measure.
Raps Classification
Masaoka argued that the enemy
alien" classification should not be
made to refer to Japanese ma
tionals because they have never
had the opportunity to become
American citizens as have the
aliens of other lands and that the
cineligiblc. to citizenship" clause
was an unfair and unjust limita-
ton.
He declared that the mother of
Congressional Medal of Honor
winners Sadao Munemori, and the
parents of Ex-Sgt. Masuda who
were awarded the Distinguished
Service Award posthumously by
the late General Joseph Stilwell,
as well as the parents of every
Nisei soldier, suffered and sacri-
feed as much as the parents of
other combat troops.
Race, ancestry, and congress
sional technicalities in the law do
not cause one mother to worry
ebout her soldier son overseas
than any other mother. Human
emotions and feelings are above
such classifications."
Seeks Other Aid
Mr.. Clason declared that he
would not only welcome such an
amendment as proposed by Ma
sac but would also recommend its
acceptance in Committee hear
ings.
After his conference with the
Massachusetts congressman, Ma
saoka announced that he would
seek to have another congressman
introduce a bill which would ex-
tend to all parents of American
servicemen, regardless of their
race, color, or eligibility to citi-
Zenship, the right to naturaliza-
ton by simply filing for it and
taking the necessary oath.
He also revealed that his Anti
Discrimination Committee is seri-
ously studyingg the possibilities
of extending such a bill to include
Japanese nationals who served di-
rectly in the war effort of the
United States in World War II.

Court Test in $500, 900 Gift
To Father Divine Started
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April ga $500 900
fortune left to Father Divine's mis-
sions by Mrs. Mary Sheldon Lyon
when she died at IS last October 10
is the stake today in will contest
case in Surrogate's Court.
Hearings opened yesterday in the
contest suit filed on behalf of DR..
William Hills Sheldon, a brother
who was left $500 by Mrs. Lyon, and
four cousins, each left 500.
Julius Applebaum, counsel for the
Negro religious leader, said that a
psychiatrist certified to the sanity of
Mrs. Lyon on December %, 1943, the
day she signed a will leaving the
bulk of her estate to Divine's Palace
Mission, Inc, in Harlem, and to the
Divine heaven" at Pinebrook, N. ].
David Broderick, attorney for the
woman's relatives, said that the SAN
ity certiflcation was "only half of
the truth"
Mrs. Lyon attempted to write
another will three years later. Just
before her death at IS October TO-
1916. but this time the psychiatrist
failed to find her rational" Mr..
Broderick said.
He tested her by asking her to
sign $1,000,000 check in his pres
ence and then left without certifying
her to be competent"
Mr.. Broderick indicated he would
seek to show that Mrs. Lyon suf-
fered a stroke and was unable to
move her hands ten days before the
date on which she is supposed to
have signed this will in perfect pen
manship.'
