Begins Fund Drive to Send

BY MITS TAKASUMI

HOOD r " f R, ORE,
March 1S-The Mid-Columbia
JACL has undertaken a fund
raising drive to send Rev. w.
S. Burgoyne to the Thomas
jefferson dinner at the Wal
dorf- Astoria in New York on
April 10.
This honor was bestowed upon
him in January by the American
Council Against Intolerance and
was determined after a survey by
more than 1000 newspapers and
500 organizations throughout the
country.
Rev. Burgoyne was instrumental
in smoothing the way so that
many of the Nisei could return to
this valley. He stood up for what
was right and when the feeling
ran high against the japanese re-
turn here he took a definite,
stanuch stand in the Niseis behalf
against the local American Legion,
an outfit which stirred up race
hatred in the valley and published
several full-page advertisements in
the local paper saying they wanted,
"a valley without Japs."
He is one of five so honored

getting other chapters along the
route to act as guides for the

temporarily to leave Hood River

A Tightening job market and
increased relief needs are re-
vealed in a report on social
service trends in 1916, made
public yesterday (Wednes-
day. by the research division
of the Council of Social
Agencies, a unit of the Com
munity Chest and Council of
Seattle and King County.
On the basis of reports from the
Washington State Employment
Service formerly U. S. Employ
ment Service), the research divi-
sion notes decline in employment
referrals from 5,767 in December,
1915, to 2, ZAP in December, 1916,
and a drop in job placements from
2,073 to ! 243 in the same period.
A seasonal upswing in December
over November 1916, is largely a
reflection of temporary placements
for the Christmas season, accord
ing to the Council.
Reports of the King County
Welfare Department show a con-
sistent increase in public assist
ance grants from the start of the
State biennium in April, 1915,
through the end of last year. Both
the total number of cases and the
amount of money granted rose
markedly during this period, but
the dollar increased more sharply
because of the rise in living costs.
With women war workers re-
turning to their homes, there has
also been an increase in the Aid to
Dependent Children program, from
about 600 at the end of the war to
more than 1,400 last December.
Family casework services in
King County have fluctuated be-
tween two thousand and 2,4OO in

was to come"
THINGS UNDER CONTROL
There is no doubt that some
Japanese in the islands were
sympathetic to the Japanese ma
tional government but that did
not extend to active sabotage
and subversion after the war
started" Admiral Nimitz added.
Rep. Peden, D., Okla, asked
whether it made any difference
from a tactical or defense view
whether Hawaii was a state or a
territory.
Il do not think it does" Nimitz
replied. Hawaii will still be our
main base in the Pacific whether it
is a state or a territory"
ONLY PERSONAL VIEWS
Nimitz said his statement con-
tanned only his personal views"
Previously the Navy Department
has told the committee it has no
objection to the enactment of leg
islation being considered by the
group to make Hawaii the 10th
state.
Gen. Charles B. Heron, retired
Army commander in Hawaii from
1887 to 1941, testified that Civilian
leadership was thoroughly patri-
cite" during his three years there
and "the military was not obstruct-
ed in any way"
Four House members who intro
duced Hawaiian statehood bills
also testified. Rep. Hale, r., Me-,
said the mixed racial strains in
Hawaii should be an argument for
statehood rather than against"

Nimitz noted that he had center
tanned some doubt before World
War II as to the loyalty of Ameri-
cans of Japanese ancestry in the
event of war with Japan"
From my observations during
World War II, no longer have
that doubt"
ADMIRES NISEI AID
Admiral Nimitz added:
During my service as command
ci-in chief of the Pacific Ocean
Area dec, 1941, to Nov, 1915, in
HawaiD, l had an opportunity to
observe the people of the Hawaiian
Islands and 1 have great admira-
ton and appreciation of the whole
hearted cooperation they gave to
the war effort.
"The citizens of the islands
participated actively in the arm
ed services i'm World War ii and
served with distinction. That in
cludes many of Japanese ances-
try"
LESS ABSENCE OF FIFTH
COLUMNS
Answering questions, Admiral
Nlmitz said, II know of no cases
of sabotage or subversive activities
during my entire service as COM
mander-in-chief of the Pacific
Ocean Area"
Rep. Fred Crawford, r., Mich,
asked what was the necessity of
martial law in the islands.
1.-THE situation in Dec, 1941 was
a crucial one," Nimitz replied.
And required every safeguard that
could be instituted to advance Sc
curity. Hindsight might indicate
that it was not necessary"
NO INJURY TO U. S.
Again referring to a question in
volving Hawaii's resident popula-
ton of Japanese ancestry, Admiral
Nimitz declared:
There were many opportuni-
ties for sabotage and espionage
but to the best of my knowledge
no information injurious to our
interest passed out of the
islands.
81 do not know even of minor
incidents such as the cutting of
telephone wires which were strung
all over the islands"
STRESSES SECRECY
Delegate Bartlett, D., Alaska,
asked if Their was any reason why
statehood would impair defense.
II shouldn't think So" Nimitz
replied.
The admiral said the secrecy of
the japanese high command in
planning the Pearl Harbor attack
was so strict that "I don't think

Honolulu had any idea of the ma
