SIXTEEN IN CONTEST FOR
 4TH QUEEN
Contestants and Sponsors Get Busy in Exciting
 Campaign Now

Evidence of the interest shown throughout Juneau in the city-wide three-day Fourth of July celebration is depicted in the number of candi- dates being sponsored for the Queen Contest A total of l6 girls were registered at official closing time yesterday afternoon, and all signs point toward lively competition, with the girls and their sponsors busy on their campaigns.
 The contestants with their spon- soring organizations are as follows: Betty Bennett, Rebekahs and Odd Fellows; Rdath Dawes, Parent Teacher Association; Rosemary Doogan, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary; Claire Folta, Sorop- timists; Betty Lou Hared, Lions Club; Pat Hogue, Rotary, Harriet Maurstad, Teen Age Club; Lily Ann Maurstad, Sons of Norway; Marilyn Merritt. Chamber of Commerce; Lois Nicholson, Rainbow Girls Emma Neilsen, Kiwanis Club; Edna O'Connor, Business and Professional Women's Club; Lenora Olson, Wom- en of the Moose and Moose Lodge; Harriet Stonehouse, Elks and :1m- blem Club; Cecelia Thibodeau, Am erican Legion and Auxiliary, .and Ann Thompson, Central Labor Council.
 This group represents some oi Juneau's most charming and popu- lar girls, and nearly all are gradu- ates of Juneau High School. Several of the candidates were born in Ju- neau, others have lived here most of their lives and all are wellknown for their interest in civic affairs particularly affecting the younger group of residents.
 Boxes where the votes may be cast will be placed in the drug stores, and voters are reminded to use the long end of their ticket with the candidates name written in for vot- ing purposes. The important thing of course, is to be sure to have the name of the candidate plainly writ ten, typed or stamped on, commit tee officials have stated. The short ticket should be retained by the pur- chaser for the car award. Begin ming Monday, June 23, a day-by-day tally of the standings will be made, right up to the official closing time of the contest which will be mid night on June 30.
 This should create even more in- terest, and prove an incentive for everyone to work harder for his favorite Queen candidate, insuring Keen competition up to the last minute. Since only one Queen can reign at one time, no contestant should feel bad about her being in the lead, for it is an honor to be chosen by an organization for such a contest and good loser is always a person to be admired.
 Contestants who have not yet made an appointment at Lu-Ek's Photo Shop are requested to do so at once, by calling 35. Each girl is to have her picture taken through the courtesy of Lu-Ek's, the pictures to be run in The Empire. and must be done as soon as possible.

Unexpected Degree Of Adjustment
Seen in Resumption Of American Way
OF fife by Evacuated Japanese

Restoration of the Japanese American
communities TO normal participation in American
life after the tragic years of wartime evacuation
continued with an unexpected degree of ad
justment," it was stated in the annual report of
the American Civil Liberties Union.
The 80-page report of ACLU activities
I'm Times of Challenge declared that "pre-
JUDGE continued its usual expressions, but the
easy acceptance of the Japanese in the commr-
mites where they had lived Indicated decline"
"a few trade unions still discriminate a
ganst full membership for Japanese Ameri-
cans; posts of some veterans organizations insist
upon segregation; restrictive housing conven-
ants bar them like other minority races from
occupancy in residential areas" the report con-
tinued.
Many legislative and court actions invov-
ing japanese Americans in which the ACLU
actively participated were also reviewed. These
included the following:
The Oyama alien land law case, the success
full campaign against Proposition Is on the Cal
ifornia November 1916 ballot for an anti-alien
land law amendment, the alien japanese fishing
case evacuation claims bill, renunciants case,
deportation hardship case stay bill, Issei natu-
razation bill and successful repeal of Califor-
MIA s Oriental children school segregation law.
The report also reviews the trip to Japan
taken by Roger N Baldwin, ACLU director,
this year, during which he also represented the
Japanese American Citizens League and assist
ed in organizing Tokyo JKCL branch to aid
Nisei wishing to return to the U. s. Many of
them require complicated legal action by courts
and officials in both countries to determine cit-
zenship, it was reported.

Ala, who took down testimony dur
ing the entire trial of the Japanese
Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, has
been ordered to duty in the Seattle
Port of Embarkation. She return
ed to the United States recently
from Manila.
Declaring that the Americans
who defended General Yamashita
did a brilliant job, the WAC officer
said:
Those boys seemed to work
harder than anyone else. During
the trial General Yamashita sat
poker-faced with no show Of emo
ton. But when the verdict was an
nounced, he seemed stunned. He
had to be led from the courtroom.
I never want to see another man
sentenced to death"
General Yamashita, the SOCIAL
ed Tiger of Malays, was hanged
after the trial.

Follow U. s. Steps in Loss Probe,
Legal Aide for Japanese Asks

TORONTO, Canada, Sept 16-Andrew Bre-
win, legal counsel for the Toronto Cooperative
Committee on Japanese Canadians, discussed
the evacuation losses inquiry with Minister of
Justice j. L. Ilsley and Secretary of State Glib
son, in an interview in Ottawa recently
Mr.. Brewin again presented the Co-opera-
tive Committees contention that the present
terms of reference, under which the Commits
sioner, Mr.. James Henry L Bird, is to conduct
the inquiry, was too narrow and did not do just
ice.
He urged that the order-in-council setting
up the Commission be amended so as to provide
that all losses reasonably and naturally arising
out of the evacuation orders should be compen-
stated for on the same lines as in the evacuation
, claims bill before Congress as presented by the
government of the United States.
Mr.. Brewin also pointed out the terms of
reference were considerably narrower than that
which was indicated in the statement made by
the Prime Minister on January "A, 1947, and the
recommendation by the Public Accounts COM
mittee
The Ministers discussed the question
thoroughly with Mr. Brewin and ntimated that
the matter would be referred to the Cabinet
and an early decision would be made whether
the orders would be amended or not.
