Special problems created by
such situations as those in which
Nisei veterans marry Canadian
born Japanese were also discussed
with the White House staff men,
bers. a..t.
Both Niles and Nash expressed
great interest and concern for the
problems posed, especially those
which had to do with civil rights.
They pointed out that President
Truman, too, was concerned with
such problems and that his recent
order creating the Civil Rights
Committee was ample evidence of
his interest in such matters.
Niles declared that since this
new presidential committee was
interested In civil rights and their
strengthening through proper leg
islation it would be wise for the
Japanese Americans to present
their problems to them, together
with their suggested corrections.
The presidential assistant thought
that the JACL and its Anti-Dis-
elimination Committee could rem
der real service to all concerned
b cooperating with the Civil
Rights Committee.
The White House executives
asked that they be kept informed
as to the latest developments in
the Japanese American problems
and as to how they might be of
service.

Otero or Crowley?

ROCKY FORD, Colo, Jan. ~
County officials last week
were stumped when they tried
to figure out the birth ccrtifi-
cate Of young Henry Naka-
mura, born on Jan. II, I347.
No one seems to know wheth-
or Henry was born in Otero
county or Crowley county.
The baby was born in the
automobile of the Nakamuras
while the father was rushing
the mother to a hospital. The
birth took place. the parents
recalled, in the vicinity of n
bridge over the Arkansas river
that divides the two counties.
But, darn it. they cant re-
member on which side Of the
bridge the baby was born.
