Before the war. there were
about 300 Japanese in Chicago.
Today. there are between $4,000
and 10000.
After years of living in Little
Tokyos along the coast, the Nisei
have discovered America. They
are not excluded from residential
areas and preferred types of EN-
ployment. Their skills are sought
after, their abilities put to use.
Chicago attracted more of them
than any other city, partly because
of the jobs available. partly be-
cause West Coast Nisei had always
wanted to see New Yark and Chi
cago some day
so, by the time the war had
ended, there were more than $4,000
in the city. Some have since gone
back to California. Others have
moved to Chicago from other Mid
western cities. And some, after a
scouting trip to the coast have
come back and settled down. with
the conviction that CALIFORNIA;
warm climate is not so important
as Chicago's warm welcome.
IN spite of the housing short
age ;ilat has forced many Nisei in
to the undesirable area north of
the Loop. no Little Tokyo has de-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug Is
More than 200 bills in which the
JACL Anti Discrimination Com
mitttee had a direct interest were
introduced into the Senate and
House of Representative in the
first session of the Both Congress,
the Washington ADO office dis
closed today.
In a report made public in Wash
ington this morning. the ADO gave
final recapitulation of its act
ivities during the first Congress
ional session which began January
3 and ended July 81, 1947.
ut is significant to note that
never before in American history
have SO many bills beneficiaIly
affecting persons Of japanese an
cestry been introduced in Con-
gress." Mike Masaoka, national
Ado legislative director, declared.
In explanation of the large num-
Der of bills introduced and the
small number processed through
Congressional channels, he pointed
out that many of the measures
were identical or covered the same
subjects.
Four bills, two public and two
private, that specifically benefit
persons of Japanese ancestry were
passed during the first session and
signed by President Harry Truman
according to the ADO report.
The public bills passed includ-
ed the amendment to the Soldier
Brides Act which will enable the
Japan-born and Canadian Nisei
wives among others, of CTS or ex-
servieemen to enter the United
States, and the First Deficiency
Appropriations bills, wich includ-
ed section awarding $4,000 to
81 former residents of Potion and
Is former residents of Manzanar
for losses sustained in fires of
1913 and 1914.
The two private bills passed H
! r. 1918 and H. r. 1176, provided
for the prevention OF deportation
of Mrs, Fuku K. Thurn and Mrs
Elizabeth K. Bailey, respectively
both wives of non-Japanese.
THE date on which the President
signed the amedment to the Sold.
ier Brides Act, July %, 1947, was
significant" Masaoka pointed out.
1T marked the first time since
the passage of the Oriental Exclu-
sion Act in 1912 that Congress ha;
made an exception to immigration
from japan and certain other
barred zone countries of Asia
and the Pacific Islands"

The major naturalization bill
supported by the ADO was intro

last week of the session, Masaoka
stated. This bill designated 6.

Also heavily supported by the
ADO is the naturalization bill for

to provide for the repatriation"

According to Masaoka, most of
the private bills were "by passed"

When the girl met Charles and
Kate at o'clock, Gail had the
happy feeling that she had been
accepted. And it was funny that
the feeling should be happy one.
She had been accepted without
question by far more fashionab BILE
and worldly groups; but some
how, meeting these girls ana boys
here in this little town. knowing
that they liked her and welcomed
her, gave her warm content
ment that was different. They had
not been impressed either by her
background or her clothes or her
sophistication; at first they had
accepted her simply as Norah' S
friend, but by the time the after
noon was over they had made her
feel one Of themselves. Their cour-
tesy had been swift, unerring, not
needing to be considered or
weighed or withheld. Their hospi-
tality had been warm and instant.
Charles, looking at her happy
face, said fondly, Did you have
fun, chick?"
Lots of fun, Father" she ar
swered swiftly, "Such nice peo-
ple.'
"She was an instantaneous hit, "
Norah said cheerfully. 'But then,
l knew she would be-she's nice
people herself"
Kate smiled and Charles beam
ed. Only Greg looked cold and
contemptuous.
Driving back to the farm, Norah
chatt1'ed and Kate answered her
with bits of news and friendly gos-
sip. 1t was plain to see that this

Norah, and then she held herself
back. There was something al
most terrifying about the broken
sobbing. the desolate, heart
wrenching grief that had sought
the dark shelter of the lonely
night, and Gail knew that she
cared not intrude on Norahs pri-
vacy, even to try to share her
grief. For grief from which came
such sobbing was not 10 be shar-
ed.
She went to bed at last, to lie
staring into the darkness. She was
deeply fond Of Norah. She was
worried for her grief, and she was
puzzled. She remembered again
that swift exchange between Nor
ah and Greg in the station wagon
this afternoon. They way Norah
had started gayly, ''The man l
marry" and had broken off, her
eyes wide and fearless, her red
underlip caught between her
teeth, and the way Greg had drop
ped a hand on hers that were
suddenly tense in her lap and had
said under his breath, "Stiff up
per lip, baby-it'll be all right
AND again she could see the al
most passionate gratitude in Nor
abs eyes as she found her way
back to composure.
And now Norah, hidden in the
lonely darkness of her room, wept
her teart out. Why? Gail won
dered. and knew there was no
way she could find out. She dared
not invade Norah's private
thoughts, even with the best pos
sible intentions.
When Gail came downstairs

weekly afternoon in town was the
highlight of their busy, crowded
week. Charles and Greg carried
on fra gmentary conversation
entirely separated from the WON
ems chatter, and Gail could relay
happily. After all, she told her
self, what difference did it make
that Greg held her in such con
tempt? Other people liked her ane
accepted her at face value, ane
if Greg wanted to be sour-faced,
grim-voiced enemy, why worry
about him?
AS if her thoughts had called tt
him, he turned his head and look
ed at her. Gail met the dircc
look with her chin up, her eyes
as cold and frosty as his own, 70,
the first time not quailing beneath
the flash of contempt and dislike
in his eyes. She thought he looked
little surprised, but she couldn'
be sure; and anyway, it .didn'
matter. For the first time in hel
life she felt secure in her wei
come. Until now she had never
quite realized the uneasiness o:
not being sure that she was want
ed.
The chores were done and sup
per disposed of and they all trail
ed upstairs to bed, happily tired
from the afternoons activities. 1t
was far earlier than Gail was ac-
customed to 60 to bed, but out
here in the country the fresh air
and the exercise made one sleepy
earlier than the crowded, hectic
life that she had always known.
She got ready for bed, blew out
the lamp, and stood for a moment
at the window, savoring the moon
eilvered magic of the night. The
stiffness was broken only by the
cheerful croaking of frogs and the
faint, indefinable stirring of tiny
creatures of the night.
She turned at last to go back to
the bed, and suddenly was still.
For softly and indlstinctly, she
heard sound that caught her up
to a momentary uneasiness. Puz-
zled. she strained her ears. The
sound came from the room next
door - Norah's room. Across the
wide hall there was complete 81
lence from the big room at the
head of the stairs that was
Charles and Kate's; and oppo-
site Calls room was Greg's room.
No, the small, muffled sound
came from Norah's room, and
fearful that Norah might be ILL
Gail stepped close to the wall and
raised her hand to tap softly. The
old wooden wall was thin, and
with her hand upraised she heard
the sound more clearly-and was
still again, her eyes widening, the
appraised hand clenching anc
dropping to her side without
touching the wall.
For now she recognized thai
sound, the sound of muffled
heartbroken sobbing. Norah who
had been so gay and lively all
day, was weeping her heart Out
in the stiffness and frightening
loneliness of the night.
Calls first instinct was to 60 to

Sunday morning the others were

about to begin. Charles and Greg
had attended to the animals, and
breakfast was an unaccustomedly
lelsurely meal. Gail stole a swift
glance ct Norah. but there were

Synagogue at British
Resort Saved From Fire

LONDON, (JTA)-Police at
Margate, seaside resort, this
week saved the local synagogue
from destruction by fire. Called
to the scene by a boy who saw
smoke rising from the building,
they pulled out blazing bundle
of kindling wood.
Recently, anti-Jewish slogans
were painted on the synagogue
walls and police say that three
months ago they received threats
that it would be destroyed. This
is the third attempt in recent
months to fire a synagogue in
England. The damage was slight.
