In addition, he called for the
moral support of the program by
every person of Japanese ancestry
in the United States.
Mutual confidence, respect, and
trust must be fostered between the
Nisei and the Issei who are inter-
ested in this program. The diff

SIGHTS TURN
TOWARD OK.
OF Ado BILLS

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. rs
Prospects for the successful cul-
mination Of the Ado Legislative
program are fair" declared Mike
Masaoka, national legislative direc.
tor for the JACL -Discrimina.
ton Committee, in the recent IL
nal report of legislation activities fol-
the first session of the eoth Con-
gress.
This does not mean that the
odds are In favor Of the program, =
he added, for certainly they are
not. On the contrary, the odds ON
the Ado legislation. as on most leg
islation- are definitely negative"
On the optimistic side, however,
the ADO legislative director pointed
out several indications of favorable
action on the ADC-sponsored bills
by the 80th Congress.
He cited the unanimous pas
sage by the House Of Represen-
tatives Of H. r. 1890 Evacuation
Claims bill, II. r. s55s natural
ization bin for parents Of Gold
Star and Purple Heart veterans),
and II. r. 1856 bill to stay de-
portation Of Japanese aIiens)-
"all major and atone time-con-
sidered-controversial bills"
As another indication Of favorable
Congressional sentiment toward
persons of Japanese ancestry. Ma
saoka told of the passage of H. r..
3l49, amendment to the Soldier
Brides act, through the House and
later through the Senate without a
single voice raised against it.
The overall legislative plan for
next year will be to try to secure
early passage through the Senate
Of the three major bills now held
In committee SO that the ADO may
then concentrate on the all-import-
ant naturalization bill for the rest
of the Congress" he explained.
Pointing out that the ADO needs
to be prepared, financially and 9TH
er-wise, to act quickly and effec-
lively early in January in order TO
accomplish this legislative plan,
Masaoka said:
Chances for the successful ter
mination of the ADO legislative
goals next session are better than
they have ever been and the COM
ing session is the crucial one. in
terms of what finally happens to
these bills.
Every day that passes
pushes further into the back
ground the heroic war record of
the Nisei troops in World War
ii and the tragedy Of evacuation.
And every day brings more prob
lens that must be faced by the
Congress" -
The world situation and the i'm
pending treaty of peace with ia
pan are factors that may tip the
scales in favor of ADO legislation
'if the ADO Is in position to take
advantage of such opportunities, -
Masaoka added.
He appealed for sufficient finan-
cial support of the legislative prog

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-Were it
not for the possibility that the Rus
slams will participate in the l94S
Olympics, Lawson Robertson would
be willing to predict sweep by the
United States when the pick OF the
worlds track and field athletes meet
In London next summer.
1--WE are far ahead of any OF the
other countries" said the 63-year-old
University of Pennsylvania track
mentor who has coached five Olym-
pic teams and competed with three
others. He added:
"But we don't know anything
about Russia From what I have seen
of them, they should make fine ath-
letes. Whether they will be properly
organized for the Olympics or even
whether they will compete remains
to be seen. If they do, we may find
ourselves up against stiff competi-
ton"
The lanky Scot from Aberdeen,
making it clear that he would like to
coach the American athletes again,
took a hasty look at the internation-
al athletic situation, and with only a
smattering of information from
abroad, came up with these predic-
tons:
The United States, with strong
array of dash men, will sweep the
100 and 200 meters, the broad and
high jump, pole vault and hurdles

In New Hands After
Directors Resign

A mass resignation OF directors
left Bowie and Marlboro racetracks
in new hands today, with M. Hamp-
ton Magruder, former president OF
both tracks, heading the exodus of
outgoing officers. The designations
occurred last Wednesday, but we're

stock in the tracks stood just as
solidly behind O'Hara.

directors action, Magruder said
O'Hara had been permitted to usurp
the authority of both the Executive
Committee and board Of directors
OHara has been acting manager
of both places during the illness of
Joseph Farrell, who has been hos
pitalized year.
New officers and directors Of the
two tracks are: Joseph A. Farrell,
president and general manager of
both; Mrs. Josephine O'Hara, vice
president of both; l.. Ed OHara,
treasurer of Bowie and assistant
manager of Marlboro; John w. Far
rell, secretary of Bowie and secre-
tary-treasurer of Marlboro, and gen.
eral counsel of the tracks.
Directors of Tracks.

the two leading specialists In each
type Of golf shot, is being planned
for the Cavalier Country Club at
Virginia Beach next April, Sidney
Banks OF the Cavalier Club has an
nounced.
Tom G. Utterback Of Richmond,
chairman of the event, explained
that leading golf writer's and experts
all over the Nation would be polled
to select the top two professional
golfers in each Of six types Of golf
shots, beginning with the driver and
carrying through to the putters.
The two six-man teams thus
selected would compete against par,
with each golfer playing only his
speciality shot when called on by q
team captain, also to be selected in
the Nationwide poll.
For example, Sammy Snead and
Jimmy Thomson might be chosen to

After they had hit the tee shots,
the respective captains Of the teams
would decide the next shot to be
played-and call on the specialist of
that shot to play the ball.
