cestry in the United States.
Masaoka called to the attention
of the White House to some of
the major civil disabilities suffer-
ed both the Issei and the Nisei.
He pointed out that because
Japanese nationals are ineligible
for citizenship both the alien and
the citizen is handicapped. In
some IL states, Japanese aliens
are prohibited from owning land
and his citizen children's titles to
real property are in jeopardy.
Barred In SO Fields
Japanese aliens are barred from
engaging in some SO different
fields of occupation and employ
ment in the United States and
certain licenses to do business are
denied them in various western To-
calities. Some local labor unions
and specialist fields use the fact
that the Japanese are racially in
eligible to citizenship against the
native-born citizen. Mas Okla
charged.
''The unprecedented loyalty of
the entire Japanese population in
spite of the unique and great sac
rifices which they were called up
on to bear in World War II en-
titles them to fair treatment and
equal opportunities" the ADO Of
fetal declared.
- In discussing the evacuation
claims bill, Masaoka said that he
had been instructed to request a
more liberal measure than the
one sponsored by the WRA and
the Interior Department last ses-
sion. He suggested an automatic
lump sum payment for every eva
cuee, with the provision that the
regular court of claims be opened
for greater losses of demon
strable nature" than the stipulat-
ed lump sum. Such liberalization,
Masaoka said, would save both the
evacuees and the government a
lot of time and money
Cites Deportation Issue
The problem of Japanese nation
els who are now subject for depor-
tation was also mentioned. A
plea that appropriate legislation
be introduced and passed by this
Congress to prevent the deporta-
ton of japanese aliens who served
in the war effort of the United
States, of those whose deportation

1.-Two Federal Agencies
: Pool Facilities for
: Business Statistics
BY The Associofed Press

ss Two Federal agencies have pooled
4 facilities with White House help to
sarTange for the most complete bust
sness condition reporting system the
= Government has yet devised.
2 Roger E. Barnes, chief economist
sfor the Federal Trade Commission,
told a reporter today the Budget
: Bureau helped his agency and the
sSecurities and Exchange Commis-
ssion in working out the co-opera-
rtive statistical plan.
Officials hope that detailed figures
ron industrial costs and profits may
eliminate some of the argument on
the subject between employers and
unions and lead to smoother COL
lective bargaining.
Records to Be Analysed.
J Under the plan the Trade Com
mission is embarking on three-way
figure keeping project:
! /. An analysis of OPA records to-
supply a picture of war time busi-
ness profits.
; 2. A survey of industry's 1916
financial position.
- 8. Similar surveys for 1947 and
future years made in abbreviated
quarterly statements followed up by
comprehensive annual reports.
The OPA records already have
been transferred to the Trade Com
mission. The FTC collected some
what similar data before the war,
but let OPA do the job beginning
In 1912.
Mr.. Barnes said industry and la
Dor advisory committees were con-
suited and gave their approval to
the project.
10000 Concerns 10 Be Covered.
This will give us for the first
time a general overall report on
what happens In our industrial
economy" MIR. Barnes said.
The SEC will share ir the job
with FTC III collecting data from
approximately 10000 concerns in
532 different types of industry. Pre-
viously FTC surveyed about $500
firms In 86 industries.
Both agencies have powers to re-
ouire answers to their question:
naires. First forms are due to be
mailed out in the next few weeks.
They will seek data on II different
cost items rather than two, as did
the FTC's prewar form.
The FTC-SEC plan apparently is
the first manifestation of the aim
expressed by President Truman in
a letter to Harvey w. Brown, presi-
dent of the International Associa-
zion of Machinists. Mr.. Truman
said he hoped eventually to con-
solidate "al statistical activities of |
the Government"

Service Merger Plan
Hits Snags on Both
Sides Of Capitol
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

President Truman's plan for
unifying the armed forces is
hitting bumps on both sides OF
the Capitol today even before
any formal drive to carry it out.
In the Senate there are reports of
a possible scramble by rival commit
tees to handle the bill, once it ar
rives from the War and Navy De-
partments.
Chairman Gurney of the Armed
Services Committee told a reporter
he expects the legislation to be
handled by his group.
But Senator Taft of Ohio, who
has big voice in Republican policy
making, said there has been some
talk" of sending the merger bill to
the Committee on Executive Expen-
ditures headed by Chairman Aiken.
Reorganization Cited.
Several Senators noted that un-
der the Congressional Reorganiza-
ton Act Senator Aiken's committee
is to handle legislation dealing with
the reorganization of Government
departments. ,a,,. -
Senator Aiken was silent, but Sen
ator Gurney said:
I'm not worrying"
Across the capitol, Chairman An
dreWs Of the House Armed Services
Committee has taken several verbal
potshots at the unification plan out
lined at the White House.
But House leaders already have
decided that merger legislation there
will be handled by the Executive Ex-
penditures Committee where Rep
resentative Wadsworth, Republican.
of New York, veteran advocate of
unifcation, is expected to push it
along.
Representative Andrews and 9TH
ers of like mind, however, still will
have a chance to speak when the
measure reaches the House floor.
Changes to Be Offered.
Back on the Senate side, Senator
Robertson, Republican, of Wyoming,
who helped lead the successful Navy
battle against merger last session,
served notice he plans to offer q
number Of changes in the White
House plan.
Senator Robertson told a reporter
he thinks a single cabinet secretary
directing land, sea and air forces
would hold "too much power for one
man."
Senator Robertson said also he
favors broader council of national
defense to keep Congress in "inti-
mate touch" with 'Russia's inten-
tions and world conditions"
This council, the Wyoming Sen
ator said, would be composed Of the
Secretaries Of State, War, Navy and
Air Forces together with chairmen
of the Senate and House Foreign
Affairs and Appropriations Commit
tees.
Any revision of national defense
plans, Senator Robertson declared
should provide permanent plan for
keeping Congress constantly in
formed of all world conditions.
