''Family of 13 Flies Here from Holland to Operate Dairy Farm As U. s. Citizens" 7
 Delegates to the U. s. Chamber of Commerce's 35th, annual com bination witch-hunt and convention in Washington were barely restrain ed last week from nominating union-hating Sen. Joe Ball (R. Minn.) to be the nations next pre- sident.
 Ball was cheered to the rafters when he denounced organized labor as a monopoly and warned the big businessmen that eff industry wide bargaining ever grows here to the extent that it was developed in England, the only alternative will be to nationalize industry"
 Ball further proved he was a man after the Chambers own heart when he promised to do all he could to persuade the Senate to override a possible presidential veto of the Taft-Hartley union-wrecking bill.
 The sponsor of the drastic House antilabor bill, Rep. Fred A. Hartley (R, N.Jo, told hosiery industry conference in Atlantic City last week that, among other things, he was deeply disturbed over jurisdic- tionaI strikes.
 In l946, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 50 out of a total of 4,99O strikes were jurisdic- tional. The BIS also reported that 2,328 strikes were directly due to disputes over wages and hours.
 Hartley to date has indicated no disturbance over the workers fight for decent wage standards.

A ODER, NO THINKER HE
 He was not a thinker, Wildcat. He had come up out of the west, out of savage brawls and reckless living. They hailed him as the new Dempsey. He was a ripping, punch ing fighter with a fighters heart. He never stopped trying until his foe crumpled before him. and then he stood with the unspent rage still surging within him.
 And now he was going to throw a fight He put his head in his hands and said, "The Hell with it" even as his manager tapped him on the should CT and said, Don't forget, Wildcat. The third round" They went out to- gether, with the second following, down the long row and up into the ring. v
 The other boy, a tall slim collegiate looking boxer-puncher, did not i'm press Wildcat when he saw him across the ring. No matter what bui1dup this Harding might be getting, no matter how he could c1out with that right hand, Wildcat knew he could take him. Harding jabbed him twice, and threw the right. Wi1cat bobbed and took it high on the head and moved in close. He put his left and right gently in Harding's belly, then moved Up and rammed the left hook aganist

Baseball
By DOUG STEWART


Baseball
Had long letter from Oren Ster-
ling on Monday, written enroute to
his home after the Minor League
meeting in Miami. Here are some
excerpts:
Il had a talk with Rolfe and
Evans. Rolfe is the man we will have
to look to and l believe he knows
and realizes our problems. 1t may
be possible that we will get most of
the players that we had last year
back, with the exception of "Jenis"
and l think they are going to send
him to Williamsport, because Buff
falo recalled Heller. That means we
can have any of the players we had
last year back that we want, as Mr..
Rolfe asked me which we would
like to have back. In addition, at
this time, they have promised us the
following pitchers who under
stand are pretty good: Birrer, Cor
less, Kysuscinski and Fauth, these
boys were at jamestown and won
the pennant for them last year. We
either get Swanson back or catcher
by the name of "Cristie," whom l
understand is o. K. and they are
sending us an outfielder whose name
/ cannot remember now but whom
Rolfe said was very good.
'Rolfe said he would send us
good first baseman too, but am on
the track of an experienced playing
manager and he is a first baseman
and also pitches. He has had five
years experience managing in ''D",
CO and B. hope to see him on my
way North and I may have some
thing to announce in the very near
future, as far as a manager is con-
cerned."
There you have it-as / promised
you last week-straight from the

My apologies to the various
leagues-and particularly to st.
Mary's fine team-for emitting
news concerning them in this issue

home to bed. 1 have been fighting

test case on the legality of
the Territory of Hawaii's for
eign language instruction act,
which has resulted in the
closing during the war of
Japanese, Chinese and other
f o re i 6 n language schools,
went to court recently after
Federal Court Judge j. Frank

injunction to set aside the
law.
The case has been brought by
three Chinese language schools.
The territorial law does not
specifically prohibit the teaching
of foreign languages, but estab-
fishes certain standards and re-
cures the teachers and pupils to
pass qualifying examinations prov
ing their ability to speak and use
English. 1t also requires children
to have completed the fourth
grade in school before studying a
foreign language.

ply because of their color when

work ?"

corded:
Lower division men: Yes. 40:
No, 271. Lower division women:

Submit Bills
On Statehood
For Hawaii
Question Seen Likely
To Be Put up for Vote
In Present Congress

WASHINGTON, D. c.,
Feb. ITO date eight MEM
bers of the House, Delegate
Joseph harrington of Hawaii
and Senator William Know
land of California have sub
mitted bills for Hawaiian
statehood, and reports indi-
Gated that the question may
be put to vote for the first
time during the present ses-
sion of Congress. Besides
Senator Knowland and Dele
gate harrington other propo-
nents of Hawaiian statehood
are Representatives Larcade
and Angel, R., Greg; Tay-
lor, R., N. Y; Judd, R., Mimi. !;
Hale, R., Maine; Mansfield,
d., Mont; Miller, D., Calf.
and Simpson, R., Ill.
No objections have materialized
as yet in the present Congress to
the statehood proposal. In the
past, it was recalled, one major
objection raised to statehood for
Hawaii was based on the high per-
centage of Orientals in the Hawai-
ian population.
In previous sessions. doubt had
been raised by Rep. John Rankin
of Mississippi and others regarding
the loyalty of Japanese ancestry.
Rep. Henry Larcade, whose sub
committee made an extensive sur
vey of Hawaii in January, 1916, is
the author of one of the statehood
bills and he has reported to Con-
gress that during the war all rea-
sonable doubt about the loyalty of
Japanese Americans to the United
States was removed.
Il it believed here that the rec
ords of the Tooth Infantry Battal-
ion and the 442nd Combat Team,
which included men of Japanese
ancestry from the mainland and
Hawaii, as well as the services of
more tim 5000 japanese Ameri-
cans in the war in the Pacific may
prove to be a major factor in the
consideration of the Hawaiian
statehood question by Congress.
Advocates of statehood believe
that the parade of the 442nd COM
bat Team down Constitution Ave-
rue last July and the decoration
Of the unit by President Truman
were great boost to Hawaiian
aspiration for statehood"

Urges Victims
In Poston Fire
To Write Now

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb
ruary 4-(JACL Dispatch)-
Because there appears to be
an excellent chance that the
83 persons who were awarded
damages as a result of the
Poston Relocation Center fire
in December, 1913, will be
compensated, these individu-
ais are asked to contact the
Washington office of the
JACL Anti Discrimination
Committee Immediately.
The address is P. o. Box 1928,
Washington, D. C.
Some $4,000 in damages are in
volved, according to Mike Masao-
ka, executive secretary of the
Ado, and prospects appear I'M
usually good for those who are
entitled to such awards provided
that the necessary information is
forthcoming Immediately.
Should there be sufficient re-
Spouse, Masaoka said that Con-
Gres would be asked to appropriate
the $4,000. Individuals entitled to
an award would then file their
claims, which would be sent to the
General Accounting Office for
final adjudication and payment for
claims of less than one thousand
dollars. For sums larger than
81 1000, private bills would have to
be introduced.
Persons entitled to these awards
should not hesitate in claiming
them" Masaoka said. because
they are morally and legally war
ranted to receive them. And unless
the necessary information is forth
coming soon, they may lose their
right to these funds"
