And gratitude welled in his
soul every time he thought of
T'nette; for she had freed him.
She had lighted the pathway for
him, too, pathway that led to
reality, away from the artificial.
He had almost forgotten just
how artificial that life had been
when it was brought home to him
forcibly one day. DR.. Mann, head
man in Pediatrics, had taken a
group of seniors, including Bruce,
over to the Children's Hospital on
Sunset Boulevard to observe
some experiments that were be-
ing run by DIR. Coffelt on some
of his fracture patients. DR.. Cot
felt had. Just finished explaining
his new technique when a sudden
commotion out in the pavilion di-
verted their attention.
"Oh, you'll have to excuse me, :"
DR.. Coffelt sighed. Were being
honored today. The famous movie
queen-maybe you've heard of
her-Gail Lake, is putting in a
charity appearance. I have to be
civil"
sPerhaps you gentlemen would
care to listen. Come along"
Thy followed him eagerly, all
except Bruce.
Come on, Grandpa, Spicer
said. We'll protect you
AS they entered the pavilion,
the tl,robbing, throaty voice Bruce
remembered so well was filing
the air; but Gail was not singing
one of her torch songs. She was,
with saccharine sweetness, giving
out with Victor Herbert's lovely
fantasy, Toyldnd. Her press agent
stood near her beaming, and as
swapping stills of her.
About that time she saw Bruce.
Everyone present in the pavilion
heard the sudden catch in her
voice. Everybody saw her dia-
mond-studded hand 60 suddenly
to her throat; and everybody
realized it was a gesture which
had nothing to do with Toyland.
Immediately she regained her
poise; but her eyes never left
Bruce. When the song was fin
ished, while the children whistled
and applauded, she came to him.
Bruce! Bruce Crane"
Hello, Gail"
He tried to sound natural as
if he were saying Hello" to plain

He took the path of least re-

Bruce heard Bill Bohan behind
him snickering to Spicer, He's
overjoyed, see?" +.
Her intensity shocked him. But
he had greater shock three
mornings later when Spicer and
Bohan came prancing into the
Pediatrics ward. !.

both sang out, and then they
handed him a copy of the movie
page of the Los Angeles EraTliney.
Bruce's ears began to tingle
with embarrassment as he looked
at the picture. He looked more
than overjoyed. He looked Ike

Bruce folded the paper and
hurled it at them. Irritated at
having been rocked in on such q
vapid bit of publicity he stomped
out of the room. He could not,
however, show how completely
irritated he was; for the senior
medics who had been in the pa
vilion that, day made il rough
enough on him. And the current
expression banded about from
one end of the hospital to the
other was:

Plan New Community Service Group

In response to wide dissatisfac-
ton with the current flood of ap-
peals for community support, a
number of community organizations
are working toward the develop
ment of a plan which will assure
adequate support of worthwhile
services, with less pressure on the
contributing public and the volun-
tecr solicitors, Nat s. Rogers, pres
ident of the Seattle-King County
Community Chest, said recently
at the weekly luncheon meet
ing of the Seattle Rotary Club.
The Chest Board of Directors has
approved statement of principles
on Next Steps in Federation" and
has authorized a special committee
to explore the problem with the
Chamber of Commerce and other
interested groups, Rogers declared.
William M. Allen, president of
Boeing Aircraft Compans has ac-
cepted the Craftsmanship of the
committee, Rogers announced at
the luncheon.
THE idea of federation OF COM
munity appeals is basically sound"
Rogers asserted. This has been
proved by the effectiveness of the
Community Chest in the Twenty
six years since it was established.
Although the Chest now cam
paigns on behalf of SO different
welfare and health services, there
is a growing tide of uncoordinated
appeals. 1t should be possible, with
the support and cooperation of all
our citizens, to work out a plan that
would climate the confusion and
chaos which threaten,
f recent spot-check by the Com
munity Chest showed at least
seventeen separate appeals for con-
tributions being conducted stimuli
taneously, Rogers disclosed While
doubtless all of these campaigns re-
present causes worthy of support.

mended both legislation and edu.
cation to combat the problem.
The JCCD delegates acknow-
lodged the fact that in spite of
restrictive controls on japanese Ca
nadians, their problems we're be-
coming gradually less acute as
compared to those facing the Ne
Groes and the Jews.
In summarizing, Professor Hen
dry said the needs we're first to do

EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR NISEI in
TRADE SOUGHT

WASHINGTON, d C.. June 13-
Equal opportunities for Ameri-
cans of Japanese ancestry in the
resumption of private trade be-
tween Japan and foreign CONNER
cial compoines will be discussed in
formally with the State Depart
ment next week. the Washington
office of the JACL Anti-Discrim-
nation Committee announced to-
day.
The discussion will seek to am
pity information given this week
in a joint State and War depert-
ment announcement that estab-
liz he'd August IS as the date for
opening private trade negotiations
with japan, the Washington ADO
office reported.
Rciterating an earlier request
that persons of Japanese ancestry
he allowed the same opportunities
as other groups in private trans
action with japan, the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee will ask
for two considerations.
Allowance Of travelling privileges
between Japan and the United
States and exclusive territory and
franchise privileges for Nisei and
Issei on the same basis as other
groups will be sought, it was re-
ported
Under the plan announced by the
government, four hundred private
trade representatives will be ad-
mitted to Japan initially.
They will be allowed unrestrict-
ed contact with japanese producers
although General MacArthur's
headquarters will retain some con-
trolls ON a reduced basis, the an
nouncemert said.
No foreign exchange rates will be
established at the start since any
rate set now would be unrealistic
and would tend to limit TRANSACT
tions, it was said.
Individual traders may discuss
prices with Japanese producers, it
was revealed, but for the time be-
ing soap commodity specialists
will establish prices based upon
world market standards.
Banking, international commu-
nications, insurance, and other bu-
siess service representatives will be
admitted to Japan .irst, the Wash
ington ADO office learned.
Toy merchants, silk buyers, shoe
and clothing statesmen, and others
will follow later.
Already committed for sale and
unavailable for private trade at the
present will be raw silk, cotton tex
tiles. and the 1947 tea crop, it was
learned.
To help buyers avoid going to
Japan on fruitless missions, soap
will furnish Commerce department
here with information about avail
able goods.

For our part" Rogers told the

ploring the idea of establishing an

standards. Beyond this, it seems
necessary, as we and the Cham
Der of Commerce have both re-
commended, to establish an indie
pendent Appeals Review Board
which would review all proposed
campaigns and schedule their tim
ing"
Rogers warned that inclusion Of
additional appeals in the annual
Chest campaign would mean a
higher goal and large single con-
tribution from the public. He
pointed, however, to the savings
which would result from conduct
ing a federated appeal, and to the
raising of standards of services if
the various causes ware subject to
review by a well-qualified COM
mittee of citizens.
In his address, Rogers acknow-
lodged that It would be easy to find
workable plan. If all interested
groups would express their views,
however, he expressed confidence
That a satisfactory solution could
be reached in democratic fashion.
Whatever plan is finally de-
cided upon must have the under
standing and support of the entire

way can we hope to reduce the

at the same time insure adequate
support for the vitality necessary

the delegates that unless law IL
carefully formulated, there would
be too many loop holes for viola

DIR. Manfred Saalheimer stated
that law itself was potent edu-

onward, u was the Zaibatsu
which backed up the militarists by
converting their industrial and fl
nancial empires from a peacetime
to a wartime economy. Emphasis on
silk, textiles and other consumer
goods lessened, while their major
production shifted to iron, steel,
and machinery.
Many of the zaiDatsu combines
we're. moreover, directly linked with
the militarists The Mitsui, for ex-
ample, were closely associated with
the japanese Army, while the Mi
tsubishi had intimate ties with the
Navy and merchant marine.
The Big Four among the Zaiba-
tsu trust were Mitsui, Mitsubishi,
Yasuda and Surlitomo. These COM
binec often controlled through one
board of directors, such varied ond
spraying interests as mines and
plantations, factories and steam
ship lines, banks an newspapers,
railroads and political parties.

THE ATTACK

=. against the Zaibatsu by the
soap was primarily to destroy
Japan's ability to wage aggressive
war in the future. 1t was also point
ed out that this would aid Japanese
economic development along peace
full democratic lines.
1t was the Zaibatsu- Militarists
combination which ran Japan from
1905 on. Prior to 1881, the zaiba-
tsu was not always in accord with
the militarists. However, their dis
agreement with the militarists con-
cerned the nature, and not the fact
of aggressive Imperialism. The zai-
batsu favored moderate foreign
policy which would avoid war with
the great powers Their idea was
economic, not military, conquest OF
East Asia and the Pacific islands.
But. when the militarists were
successful in 1881 in their Manchur-
ian venture, the Zaibatsu began to
cooperate with the militariSts and
later eagerly accepted their share
of the raw and manufactured
wealth of Asia and the Pacific is
lands.
