LIFE
BY KAREN TAKEDA

was lazily strclling the beach,
Giving my imagination bus
mans holiday;
When from an angle to my right,
A pebble caught my gaze,
With Its spectrum hue.
stopped and stood, to see again,
The myriad colors dance round
the stone;
But. alas, all I could see,
Was pebble as common,
AS could be seen.
And so if life but q pebble,
At times glowing with glamour
and glee;
But, then it darkens as it must,
And once again, life's as prosaic,
AS could be lived.

Civil Rights
Continued from Page u

Turning to the subject Of COM
pensation for the serious property
and business losses which the eva
cuees suffered because of govern
mental action and through no fault
of their own, the Committee re-
commended the enactment by Con-
gress of legislation establishing a
procedure by which claims can be
promptly considered and settled.
The report emphasized that while
I'VE cannot erase the scars of eva
cuation, we can reimburse those
who present valid claims for ma
terial losses"
On the recommendation urging
the modification Of the federal
naturalization laws which would
permit the granting Of citizenship
to the alien japanese, the report
noted that cit is inconsistent with
our whole tradition to deny on a
basis Of ancestry the right to be-
come citizens to people who quail
fy In every other way"
In granting citizenship by ma
turalization, a democracy may es-
tablish reasonable tests of the in
dividual aliens eligibility for CT
tizenship. But some of the stand
ards of eligibility In our natural
ization laws have nothing to dc
with persons fitness to become
a citizen, the report pointed out
adding that these standards are
based solely on race or national
origin, and penalize some residents
who may otherwise have all the
attributes necessary for American
citizenship. The Issei, it noted, is
the largest group of American re-
sidents subjected to such discrimin-
alton
The report emphasized that
many Japanese aliens have lived
in the United States for decades,
have raised families of native
born American citizens, and are
devoted to American principles.
1t recalled that since World War
ii, Chinese, Filipinos, and Indians
have geen given special rights TO
become citizens.
Finally, the report urged the re-
peal of state laws discriminating
against aliens who are ineligible
for citizenship because of race, CO.
lor or national origin. 1t stressed
that the removal of race as a qua
LITIGATION for naturalization would
, remove the structure upon which
this discriminatory legislation is
based. But if federal action on ma
turalization laws is delayed, state
action, the report said, would be
eminently desirable.
1t was pointed out that such lie.

Discussing the alien land law,

Technique Eases Ulcersj
Doctor Reports ESQ Gases

NEW HAVEN, CONN. "A rela-
lively new surgical technique to
cure peptic ulcers which, he said,
had not failed in more than $50
operations was described by DR..
Lester R. Dragstedt of University Of
Chicago school of medicine.
Speaking before more than 500
Connecticut physicians at the 22d
annual clinical congress sponsored
by Connecticut State Medical soci-
ETY. and Yale university school OF
medicine, DR.. Dragstedt identified
the operation as a "vagatomy."
He said that it comprised the re-
moval of two-inch section of the
vagus nerves which lead from the
stomach wall to the nervous system.
The surgeon said results had
proved so satisfactory that this type
of surgery had replaced all other
methods for treatment of peptic
ulcers.
Dragstedt said that on the basis
of successful operations of this type
performed over a period of four and
one-half years, "good evidence" ex-
listed to consider the origin of such
ulcers as psychosomatic in nature.

Prepare for Return
Of Unknown Soldier
His Body to Be Brought Home
Sometime in l949.

WASHINGTON. - Under present
war department plans, Americas
Unknown Soldier of World War II
will be brought home from overseas
near the end of 1949 to lie in honor in
Arlington national cemetery.
In Arlington he would rest with
the Unknown Soldier of World War
1, whose inscription reads that he is
known 'but to God"
Maj. Gen. Thomas ]. Larkin,
army quartermaster general, said
that this second symbol of American
men and ome who lost their iden-
tity in the supreme sacrifice for the
country will represent army, navy,
marines, air force, coast guard-en-
listed man and officer.
Just as it is intended that no one
shall ever know in what branch of
the armed forces he served, the gen.
eral said that it is to remain ever
secret in which theater he died.
At some rendezvous when the
time comes, nine bodies-each I'M
identiied-will be brought from nine
zones of combat in the east and
west, and from these n will be
selected for the nations homage.
The homecoming of this Unknown
Soldier will not be held until all of
the war dead who have been identi-
fed, and whose relatives wish them
returned, have reached this country.
1t is planned to bring back only
those bodies definitely identified,
and of these there are 285, 900 army
war dead buried overseas. Between
25, ZOO and 10000 bodies of sailors
and marines lie in known graves.
The search for the missing still
goes on, and it is expected that
about $4,000 more army dead will
be located-many of them airmen
lost in isolated places. 1t is esti-
mated that about 1920 bodies will
never be recovered. The navy lost
about so to 60 per cent of its total
sc, 700 combat dead at sea.
At present the army has 1900
unknown soldiers. The number of
unknown sailors was not available.
Efforts are continuing to establish
their identity.

New Army Homing Pigeon
Unit Serves in Reserves

NEW YORK - The war depart
ment has negotiated an agreement
with the international Federation of
American Homing Pigeon Fanciers
to form a pigeon company as part of
the new program of affiliated units
of the organized corps, it was an
nounced by Gen. Courtney H.
Hodges, commanding general of the
First army.
The program, designed for the ex-
pansion of "on-the-spot" reserve
strength, recruited on a voluntary
basis from industrial organizations,
will fit into the reserve activities
now being put into operation, it was
said. Units will be organized,
manned and trained by the industry
concerned, with assistance by the
war department limited to publicity
and technical guidance.

Occupation Wives in
Tokyo Have 1t Easy
No Servant Problem to Keep En-
Awake at Night.

TOKYO. - Tokyo has no servant
problem. Half a million japanese
are unemployed and the U. S. army
will help you get a new maid if the
old one wants too many nights out.
This is one reason why a lot OF
occupation wives would rather live
here than back home for the time
being. Throw in the fact that the
army does their house-hunting for
them and you begin to get their
point of view.
"Of course, there are problems"
a billeting officer said. "The single
people claim the married ones have
the best deal. And the married ones
want American plumbing instead of
the kind that is made in Japan"
The biggest complaints come from
those living in billets. They complain
about the lack of privacy and about
having to live two or more to a room.
Headquarters claims that the ia
cilities for Americans are as good
as or better than those in any other
overseas operation. They are proud
of advantages they claim over hous-
ing facilities in Germany.
Today there are 1,400 officers and
400 civilians with dependents housed
in former Jap homes, hotels and
converted office buildings, or new
low-cost-housing units.
In addition there are 900 officers,
900 WACs and civilian women en-
ployees and 1900 male civilian
workers assigned to billets. Enlisted
men live in various types of bar
racks.
Civilian employees with depend
ents can rent houses and apart
ments on an equal basis with Off
GERS. Rentals, based on pay scales,
range from SIS to $100.5 10 per month.
Military rates run from $50 to SlO5
a month. Bachelor billets cost So to
$28 a month.
The rent includes servants, fuel,
lights and water. Food from army
commissaries is extra.
Generally speaking, a cook and
housekeeper go with each house in
the low-cost-housing centers and
with each dependent apartment.
Billets are run much like hotels,
with room boys assigned to each
room.
