FINAL BRIEF
ON OYAMA CASE
FILED IN D. G.,

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Oct. 10
The final brief on the important
Oyama alien land law test case was
filed this week in the U. s. SUI
preme court in Washington, D. c.,
it was announced here by A. L.
Wirin, oyama's attorney.
Oral arguments are to be pre-
sented before the nations highest
tribunal on Oct. 81.
The brief was also signed by
Charles A. Horsky end Ernest W..
Jennes Of Washington. D. c., pro-
minent attorneys for the American
Civil Liberties Union.
Countersigning the brief were
James G. Purcell, william E. Fer
ritter and Guy @. Cnlden of San
Francisco for the Northern Calf
ornia Civil Rights Defense Union
and Saburo KIDD, Fred Okrand
and Frank Chuman of Los An
geles for the JACL.
The first and main point of the
brief stressed the fact that the
right Of Fred Oyama, an American
born citizen, were ignored and en-
phasized the rights Of the citizen as
against K. Oyama, the Japanese
alien.
Citizen Not Projected
On this point the brief recited:
"The decision OF the court (Cal-
ifornia supreme COURT deprives
petitioner Fred oyama of the equal
protection of the laws and the pri-
viieges and immnities of a citizen.
I'm California minor children
other than those Of Japanese an
cestry may receive gifts of real
estate from their parents with no
presumption that the transaction
y Illegal. The alien land law as
applied here requires Fred Oyama,
solely because he Is the son of a
Japanese alien, to defend his gift
against the claim or the state. :"
Next In order, the brief urged
that the California alien land law
violates the 18th amendment to
the United States Constitution be-
cause 1t is race legislation; that
the law was intended to apply SOLE
ly against Japanese and has been
enforced only against japanese;
that the phase, aliens ineligible To
citizenship" in the law "is merely
a veil" which the supreme court
should pierce.
New Decision Sought
In the third point, the brief ar
gued that the u. s. Supreme court
should now override its former de-
cisions, approximately rs years old, |
in which the supreme court then
ruled that the alien land law con-
stitutional.
It is pointed out that conditions |
have changed since the earlier ca
ses"; and the supreme court is :
urged to change, Its decision tot
meet changed conditions.
The final point claimed that the
failure Of the California courts to
protect American-born Japanese
by giving them the benefit Of Cal
ifornia's statute Of limitations"
which require ordinarily that le- |,
gal proceeding be filed within a
certain eriod, deprives both Fred
oyama and his father. K. Oyama,
Of the equal protection Of the
laws" under the 14th amendment to
the United States Constitution.

Further Court Action
In kamp Case Awaits
Decision on Fields

Further proceedings in District
Court against Joseph P. Kamp,
whose trial on a charge of contempt
of House committee ended with a
hung jury last December, will be
delayed pending an Appellate Court
decision on the Benjamin Fields
contempt of Congress conviction.
Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws as
sented to the delay when petitioned
to do so by counsel in the case, in
view of a conflict of decisions" in
District Court as to proper construc-
ton of the contempt of Congress
statute
1t was pointed out THAT justices of
the court have ruled two ways on
refusals to testify before congress
sional committees:
l. That willful refusal to testify In
itself violates the provision.
2. That there must be a wrongful
intent in the refusal to testify.
Kamp, acting chairman of the
Constitutional Educational League,
Inc, was indicted after he had re-
fused to reveal the financial records
Of the league to a committee set up
to investigate 1914 campaign ex-
penditures. He contended the league
was nonpolitical and hence outside
the jurisdiction of the committee.
Fields, Washington promoter, has
appealed to the United States Court
of Appeals from his conviction, on
which he was sentenced to serve 30
days and pay $3.50 fine for failure
to produce records before the House
Surplus Property Committee regard
ing a surplus bronze wire screen
transaction.

ers have left their stores to go
to the warehouses and help cut
rebel yells when prices hit a
point they feel farmers can
make both ends meet out of
them. Some of the football
teams would do well to hire
such individuals as Bill Farrior,
Joe Bryant, Almond Carter,
Mayor Hoffler, and a whole
flock of other local merchandise
ers to go out and whoop them
on to high scores.
It's this kind of enthusiastic
spirit that helped to push Wal
lace's sales for the season up
to 1889, 1856 net pounds as of
Friday. During that same peri
cd the market sold r. 92, 1884
gross pounds, which include all
resales.
For this net poundage far
mers of this area, which in
cludes Fender, Osnlow, Duplin,
Brunswick, Sampson, Bladen,
Columbus, New Hanover and
fringes of adjoining counties,
have received S5,241, 590.9
These figures make up an av-
erage of S44.O8 for every hun
dred pounds of tobacco that has
been sold in that 11-odd millions
this year. That may not be the
top average for all markets in
the Eastern North Carolina belt
this year, but it's the highest
I've heard anything about. I
strongly believe it is the high
est. Just to show you: official
government figures released
Thursday showed that Wallace's
average of $42.27 per hundred
for September sales was $1.57
per hundred above the general
average of all Eastern North
Carolina markets.
There wasn't a single Eastern
market among the Is that
equalled Wallace's averages. All
right. The Wallace average for
the entire season is nearly $500
per hundred above the official
government average for Sep
TENDER.
Moreover, the Wallace aver
age has climbed from week to
week. Last week, in spite of two
rainy days on which farmers
could hardly drive themselves
to town much less their tobac-
CO, Wallace sold 1892, 1884
pounds for S672, $50. SO.
That was an average of S47.O9
lacking just one penny being
$500 per hundred above the sea-
sons average.
With all this town support and
all these impressive figures
there's little doubt that Wallace
will go on to an all-time record
for sales this year. Bill Hussey,
Rack Rackley, and Oscar
Blanchard, warehousemen lead
ers of sales, think so.
Fifteen million pounds is a lot
of tobacco for one set Of buyers
to buy, but with all the Miss
Minnies, Miss Linas, Miss Ger
trudes, Miss JAMES, Preacher
Browns, Bill Bradys, and SO
ons, plus the good tobaccos the
farmers in this section grow
and the strong support of the
buyers, I wouldn't be a bit sur
prised to write to you three
weeks hence and tell you Wal
lace has hit the IS, 900, 000-pound
jackpot.

This pull is pulled in all
phases of Wallace's family-town
life. Take Mrs. Gertrude Coop
er's boarding house where l eat,
for instance. Aside from the
very important fact that Miss
Gertrude feeds us hot biscuits,
at whose baking Benny, the Ne
gro woman cook with a mans
name is a virtuoso at cooking,
fried chicken a couple of times
a week, homemade pies and
preserves, and a bullying cook
stove full of other victuals,
there are a sprinkling of town
folks who drop in for meals
along with a strong representa-
ton of tobacco people.
While we're all sitting around
getting overweight on Miss Ger
trude's food the regulars, be-
tween bites, will put in some
favorable words about the town
and market that have the gen.
eral psychological effects Of all
boosting statements. Miss Min
ME Boone, who clerks down at
Kramer's, and who takes her
dinners-that's in the middle Of
the day - at Miss Gertrude's,
might open up between re-
quests that the biscuits be
passed-with something like a
remark that some farmer or
other was highly pleased with
his sale today. Miss Lima Pot
ter and Miss Jane Campbell
and Preacher Brown, who
breaches out at the Rockfish
Presbyterian church and who
asks the blessings at Miss Ger
trude's when he isn't off some
where on Presbytery business,
will come in with their views,
all h~eartening.
This kind of community spirit
is bound to Undue the strictly
commercial souls of Tobacco
Buyers Grover Settle, Andrew
Conner, and Guy Forrest, each
of whom puts his knees under
Miss Gertrude's table three
times each day, with a will to
60 out on the sales line and do
their damndest for Wallace.
(These men really don't need
any bolstering of the spirit along
these lines. They're all three
about the biggest boosters for
the Wallace market you'll find
anywhere, including myself who
am paid to do the job although
I've become so enthused over
the place the sordid commercial
aspect of salary has now be-
come a secondary matter.)
You'll find the same kind OF
spirit on the warehouse floors
during sale, too. The other day
Graham Brinkley, n Of the
top tobacco farmers you'll lind
anywhere bright leaf is grown,
had a whole row of tobacco on
Oscar Blanchard's warehouse
floor. All the time the buyers
we're bidding up Mr.. Brinkley's
crop to a $57.03 average, tops
reported for a comparable
amount of tobacco anywhere
this year, Bill Brady, a Wal
lace business man. whom | knew
back in Greensboro years ago
and who has now grown h1mse1
a corpulent corporation that
completes with mine, was walk
ing along the row whooping for
the buyers to go on up on MIR.
