BY Haskell Cohen, JTA

During the war, he was c. o. of a
combat air corps unit in New
Guinea. Incidentally, both his old
er brother, who was a battalion
surgeon captured by the Nazis at
kasserine Pass, and his twin
brother, who was in charge of
psychological warfare in the Tin
ians, had distinguished war re-
cords, both rising to the rank of
Major.
Because of his war activities and
the great amount of publicity that
resulted from them, several movie
studios became interested in
Mickey in 1915, but he wanted to
be a big league ball player and
gave up the thought of acting to
play at Trenton where he perform
ed sensationally for half a season.
He hit in the high .3OO's, but con-
slant malarial attacks weakened
him and finally forced him to re-
tire for the season. Despite the
fact that he barely had enough
energy to swing a bat in the last
few weeks, he still managed to
close the year with respectable
batting average of .289.
Last year while still bothered
by malaria he played only a few
games and concentrated on his
writing career, working on a rough
draft of novel. Several movie
companies became interested in
the manuscript and once again
sought his services as an actor.
It was suggested that he get a
years training at Yale Drama
School, so he registered last Sep
TENDER.
This spring, while attending
Yale, he signed with Stamford
and committed daily from New
Haven. Unable to get any real
spring training because of school
work and averaging only four
hours of sleep a night, Mickey
was unable to get in good shape
and got off to a slow start. But
as soon as school ended on June
list, the difference became amaz-
ingly apparent. Since then, he has
hit at a torrid 400 pace, gaining
an average from an anemic .25O
to a Formidable mid-.300 mark,
with no signs of his present climb
slowing down. Afield, his work
has been equally sensational, COM
piling one streak of eleven con-
secutive games without an error
and another of eight games with
out miss. We have it on reliable
authority that Stamford received
$4,000 for Winters. Mickey is
supposed to receive half of that
amount. No bad pickings for an
aspiring big league ball player and
big league actor.

STREET MARKERS

WH1TEVILLE, Nov. 20-Thir-
ty-three street markers to identity
Whiteville streets have been or
dered for immediate delivery by
the Junior Chamber of Commerse
in cooperation with the police
and fire departments.
The signs are to be standard
size steel enamel markers SINH
lar to those now in use in most
of the cities of the south.
City Manager c. D. Pickerrell
who has been working with the
cooperating agencies said only
one sign would be placed at an
intersection in order to bive the
widest possible distribution. How
ever, as additional signs are pur-
chased, plans call for two signs
at each intersection.
'It is realized that 33 signs
will not mark all of the streets
but this is a splendid beginning"
Pickerrel1 said. II personally
want to thank the Jaycees and
members of the police anr fire
departments for this contribution
to the city,
The Jaycees paid half of the
cost, while members of the police
and fire department raised the
remaining half of the cost.
The signs were ordered from
the Tri-State Supply company of
Atlanta, Ca, which promised de-
livery sometime in January.

Biddle in the regular kinder
garten room, however, the
group was so large that it was
impossible to carry on an ade-
quate program in one room.
The Board authorized the su-
perintendent to contact Over
seer Mintern of the Christian
Catholic Church to determine
what arrangement could be
made concerning an additional
room. Overseer Mintern very
graciously granted the use of
an additional room at a month
ly rental of $4,000 in order to
assist the Board in meeting it's
problem. The room is being
prepared and some additional
equipment purchased. The
new kindergarten group will
be under the direction of Mrs.
Carl Lee and will begin as an
individual group as soon as
the room is ready. It is hoped
to have the organization COM
pleted some time during the
coming week.
The high kindergarten en-
rollment this year is a reflec-
ton of the increased birth rate
of the war years and is an in
dication Of the problem which
the Board must meet the COM

should be compensated for such

I have no request for time.

mittee and the bill was unanimous
ly reported by the Judiciary Com
mittee. 1 therefore move the pre-

The previous question was order

The resolution was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider was laid
on the table.

Speaker. I move that the House
resolve itself into the Committee
of the Whole House on the State
of the Union for the consideration
of the bill Oh. R. 3999) to author
ize the Attorney General to adjudi-
cate certain claims resulting from

The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly the House resolved

M MICHENER. Mr. Chairman
yield 5 minutes to the gentleman
from Iowa (Mr Gwynne), chair
man of the subcommittee which re-
ported this bill He is fully pre-
pared to tell us about it,
Mr.. JOHN w. GWYNNE Gre
publican, chairman, Subcommittee
No. p. Mr.. Chairman, this bill is
rather a simple one. I believe I
can give you the main outline of
1t in a very few minutes.
You will recall that shortly af-
ter Pearl Harbor an Executive or
der was issued requiring the eva
cuation of persons of japanese
descent from certain areas of the
mainland. also Hawaii. There is
no disposition on the part of the
committee or anyone so far as ]
know to question the good faith
of the people who made that order
1t appeared they were acting then
in a patriotic spirit and exercising
their best judgment on the evil
dencc as IL appeared at that time
Fortunately, their fears wer c
groundless; there was no sabotage
On the contrary. the people in
volved had higher percentage OF
enlistments in the armed forces
than the Nation wide average
Nevertheless, considerable damage
was done to these people in theii
being forcibly removed from then
homes and businesses, some t.
camps and others on farms.
This bill was recommended by
President Truman and recommend.
ed by the Department of the In.
terror. 1t passed the Senate in g
different form in the last Con.
gress. 1t was also reported favor
ably last year by the House Judi
ciary Committee, but late in the
session, and did not reach the
floor of the House.
Subcommittee No. had hearings
on the bill this year and reported
it to the full committee, and the
full committee has now reported II
with amendments.
The original bill provided for the
setting up of a commission in the
Department of the Interior. We
have changed this provision in or
der to avoid the setting up of an
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1947-08-08

have rendered a good service in
submitting this bill to us because
it gives us a chancs to show the
world for the second time that the
House of Representatives of the
United States believes in making
our Government a government not
only of law but of honor and
justice.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of
the gentleman from Iowa has ex-
pired.
Mr.. MICHENER. Mr.. Chairman,
1 yield the gentleman four addi-
tional minutes.
Mr.. GWYNNE of Iowa. Mr..
Chairman, 1 may say that the sub
committee was unanimous and had
the benefit of the advice and sup
port of the full committee and,
as has been stated here, the COM
mittee was unanimous in report
ing out the bill
Mr.. ANGEL. Mr.. Chairman,
will the gentleman yield?
Mr.. GWYNNE of Iowa. I yield
to the gentleman from Oregon.
Mr.. ANGEL. I, too, want to
compliment the committee. In
my own district and in the State
of Oregon there were a large num-
Der of these citizens of Japanese
origin who we're just literally up
rooted. taken away from their
homes. their business, their farms,
and transported to camps else
out of the State. They suffered
very material damage, and, as the
government said, they were indeed
loyal in most cases, particularly
loyal to this country, and many of
them were in the armed forces.
Mr. GWYNNE of Iowa. The
facts show they made a splendid
record.
Mr.. JAVITS. Mr.. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. GWYNNE of Iowa. I yield
to the gentleman from New York.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. Chairman,
join with my colleagues in COM
plimenting the committee on pre-
senting this bill to US. I have
received a great many letters ON
the subject. I have many of
these people around Columbia
University in my district; there
fore I am very much interested,
think it is a splendid thing and
is elemental justice.
