ings Of the veterans.
Dear Ex CT. Joe,
For the first time, to my know
ledge, an article touching On the
controversial and somewhat delicate
subject of what the attitude Of the
Nisei. pr .ticulary veterans. should
be toward those small minerity Of
individuals within their ra n K 8
whose conduct during the war were
in such contrast to their own, was
presented in the Northwest Times
issue of % Sept. is47 in the column
"Ex-d.I. Notes."
"J.K's" letter deals primarily
with the question Of whether the
NTSEI VETERANS COMMITTEE
should allow graduates from The
Rock" as he puts it, to compete
In the veteran-sponsored basket
ball league. But we all know that
similar situations occur in business
and social relationships as well as
in athletics.
Being a veteran and possessing a
veterans normal antagonism to-
ward all persons who chose to evade
military service by one means or
another, It is difficult for me to
look at the question Of what atti-
ude should be taken with an un-
biased eye. Nevertheless, tried,
and since "J.K's" missive broke the
ice, am forced to jump In with
my two cents worth.
To begin with, it is undoubtedly
true that In most cases of this ma
ture 1t is up to each individual con-
cerned to make up his own mind
ON what course of action to follow.
In activities such as the basket
pan league now under considera-
ton, however, where there is an
opportunity and obligation to, reau-
late the eligibility of the competi-
tors, I firmly believe that the NvC
should take a difinite stand on
this matter.
There may be those who will ar
que that the 'forgive-and- forget"
attitude should now be maintained
and in sports in particular no play |
er should be barred because of his

been established; that Of sponsor

but the league Immediately ceases
to be a COMMUNITY" league
and the sponsoring group Is going
contrary to the principles and the
hopes Of the original sponsors, who
represented the community, and
who worked towards not only the
development OF good sports, but
good craftsmanship.
The majority in the community
especially the ex-G1.'s will not he

fair play.
For the benefit of the ex-GI's.
here Is a note Of observation, that
is being commented upon by the
community. Look around you and
see If 1t isn't true that the perennial
"Griper" or "Knocker" Is usually
one who is dissatisfied with his lot
life, occupation or business. In de-
tense of his shortcomings, which
may possibly exist today, regardless
of whether he suffered loss through
his service, he tends to blame con-
ditions, and other injustices but
not his own inability to accomplish
things. Now, look around you a.
gain, and see If it isn't true. that
those level-headed, really popular,
and well-represented ex-G.I,s are
those who don't make an issue of
whether they wore the uniform,
who take set-backs or misfortunes
in stride, and who are likely to
make a success of themselves be-
cause they are too busy to stop and
take part in petty and sometimes
malicious sabotaging of community
progress.

previous record. Perhaps they have
the right outlook, don't know, but
It's impossible for me to see It that
way.
with the start OF the war and
subsequent evacuation, all adult
American japanese were forced to
make important and difficult de-
cisaons which tested their character
and loyalty to the utmost. Since
the future was at stake. the conse-
quences of whatever decisions there
were to make were certainly weigh
ed heavily by anyone with q mind
Of his own The supreme question
to be decided was without q doubt
In the matter Of military service.
The future Of all persons OF Japa-
nese ancestry In this country de-
pended upon how the Nisei met this
test and surely everyone realized
it at the time.
It Is nay opinion that those who,
during that time, put their person
al grievances or safety above the
call to duty and chose 10 sit out
the war In the penitentiary or at
the segregation camp failed not
only the United States but all Ja-
panese Americans at o time when
the chips were down.
I, for one, cannot comprehend
how 1t is possible TO shrng off their
actions now that the war Is thing
OF the past. There Is no way to
justify their behavior to the men
who died or were crippled on the
battlefronts. The end of the shoot
ing doesn't mean that the dead can
come to life or that those who
lost an arm or leg or an eye can
have them restored. Too many
people sacrificed too much at the
most critical period In the life of

Bites Finger In Self Defense

CHICAGO, P)-The case of the finger-nipping false teeth ended yesterday in municipal court with vindication of 70-year-old John M. Langhout, Ft. Richardson, Alaska, refrigeration engineer.
 Langhout, who because of deaf ness did not hear his case called in court yesterday when Judge Will liam V. Daily ordered his S25 dis orderly conduct bona forfeited, told his side of the altercation in which Dr. Barnett Mindlin's left middle finger was bitten.
 "It was self defense," Langhout claimed. He told the court that the biting occurred in an ante-room of the dentists's office when he at tempted to pay Dr. Mindlin $10 for repairing the dentures. Lang bout said the dentist demanded $50, and then grasped the Lang hout chin in an attempt to wrest the false teeth back.
