ties outside the home.
Occupational Changes
AS the previous discussion indi-
Gates, there have been some notable
changes in the types of occupation
in which the Japanese Americans
are engaged. The comparison OF
percentages in various occupations.
based on the Edwards classified
lions, indicates that the proportion
of proprietors and managers have
decreased since the war and that
service workers other than domes-
tic, and other classes of laborerS
have increased (See Table IT'D F.,
But the classification obscures two
very significant changes which have
occurred, namely, the greater de-
pendence today upon Caucasian
employers for jobs than upon ia
panese enterprisers, and the de-
cline in the number of specialized
private enterprises of the kind
which characterized the economy
before the war.
There are today between three
and four hundred Japanese AM
orleans engaged as porters, jani-
tors, chambermaids, charwomen,
busboys, and dish-washers. A
large majority of this group is
employed by several of the lead
ing Seattle hotels and by three
major hospitals Before the war
either of these two fields were
open to more than a handful of
Nisei or Issei Likewise the gar
ment manufacturing industry en-
ploys large numbers of Japanese
Americans as pressers and power
machine operators. While this
work is not new to the population
it is today a very much more inn
! portaI-t source Of employment than
previously. One foundry alone en-
ploys forty Nisei, although foun-
dry work was virtually unknown
in the Japanese community prior
to evacuation. And among the
Nisei, Civil Service positions have
become a major occupational out
let particularly for veterans and
for girls with office training.
On the other hand, certain types
of private enterprises in which the
population previously specialized
h ave virtually disappeared, at
least temporarily. In pre-war years
the japanese Americans operated
"a cleaning establishments, "a mar
ket stands, and 81 produce houses,
the majority OF which catered to
Caucasian trade, Today there are
only handful of these establish
ments. Only the hotel business
has been firmly re-established in
the economy of the community.
Before the war there were 205 no
tells under Japanese management,
and the survey shows a compare
BILE number today. Other types of
private enterprises have sustained
proportionately heavy losses. Up

By JOE REICHLER Asso ciated Press sports Writer

His name is NTurren Jcnes but up in Boston the fans believe it should be "Mei-riwell' Jones.
 For the big guy. who was asquired from the Chicago White SoX only last Saturday night in an even swap for Rudy York, got going for his new club like the fictional hero.
 Playing his first game in Red Sox uniform. the 26-year old first haseman from Epps, La, smashed cut a home run to help defeat his former mates 7-3. He did even bet ter in the second game, belting home run with the bases full with two out in the last half of the ninth inning to win for Boston 3-4. Earlier in the game, Jones had singled in two runs to give him total of runs batted in for the game.
 York's Two Hits
 In the meantime the best York could do in his first day in White Sox uniform was to get two singles in eight times at bat, both of his hits coming in the second game and having nothing to do with Chi cagos scoring. The Red Sox moved into a second place tie with the Detroit Tigers, trailing the Yankees by one game.
 The Yankees had climbed into the American Leagues number one posi- tion by virtue of a double win ever the St. Louis Browns. After comb- ing Jack Kramer for a 10-4 victory in the opener of the double header, the Tanks behind Randy Gumpert eked out a 2-1 win against Bob Muncrief.
 Senators Beat Tigers
 Washington surprised the Tigers by taking both ends of a double header. To and 5-1. to knock the Bengals out of the league lead.

 NEW YORK, June 16,-tR-Mak- ings of an argument: Parke Carroll, Newark Bears General Manager, offers the opinion that third base man Al Clark of his club is just about the best righthander hitter in baseball When it comes to right-handers, says Parke, off hand you can name only Joe DiMaggio
 Folks who have seen Clark will give you an argument about any other hitter and Carroll has figures to support his contention
 As of last week Al was hitting somewhere around .340 and had belted 10 doubles, two triples and 15 horners for IF total bases-but he still is doing it in Newark
 Dud De Groot, who has lined up a large number of large players for his Los Angeles Rams, figures last years main trouble was too many men whose average was 23 who had been at war too long and who had been engaged in flying or other as- signments which precluded their keeping legs, heart, agility up to playing peak"

School Aid 10 Virginia
is Put at S476,H7
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, July 31.-The De-
partment of Education said today
that Virginia will receive $476, ,777.71
for vocational education out of an
appropriation of s17,750,000 to the
different States as provided in the
George -Barden Act signed by Pres
ident Truman on July 8.
From the total s476,777.71 made
for the 1918 fiscal year, Dowell
j. Howard, assistant superintendent
of public instruction, said $203, ,10l sc
would be. for agricultural education;
S32 2,683.72 for distributive education;
S154 ,399.25 for home economics in
struction, and $86,592.78 for trades
and industry education.
The bill provides that the pay
ments to the States are to be made
in equal semiannual allotments in
July and January.
Mr.. Howard pointed out that while
the George-Barden Act contains a
matching provision for State and
Federal funds, Virginia already has
been more than meeting this and
no additional outlays will be re-
quired to receive the Federal money
which amounts to an increase of
s132,08 over the previous fiscal
year.
He said the department also had
been notified that Virginia will re-
ceive approximately $1,250,000 from
the $65 100000 Federal school lunch
appropriation for the 194s-48 fiscal
year.

By the Assoeictsd Press

PRINCETON, N. j., July 31.-Dr.
Henry De Wolf Smyth, author of the
War Department report on atomic
fission, said yesterday that much
valuable information" about atom
explosions induced by cosmic rays
had been obtained at Princeton Uni

into the stratosphere on Tuesday.
DR.. Smyth said the fight was the
second attempted here, the first
having produced only minor results
because of the failure of some in
struments. But this time every
thing went off WELL" he said.
The information obtained con-

GoId-Rush Talk
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, July 81. - There
won't be any gold rush" at Colonial
Beach.
Henry Schwarzschild, Richmond
jeweler, said a gold nugget found
Monday at Colonial Beach by Miss
Frances Calvert of Richmond is a
real gold nugget-but it was once
part of a watch charm.
The nugget, which Mr.. SchWarz-
schild speculated might have been
lost on the beach or might have
washed Up from the earth itself, was
bought from the finder by the jew
eler for $3.50.
The real owner, who is coming
here to claim his nugget, wired that
the gold piece was found back in the
Virginia mountains many years ago.
The Richmond jeweler said on re-
examining the nugget he found the
loop by which the piece had been at
tached to q watch chain.
