Plan Movies in Preside Open House

This Is the third Of q series
Of several articles concerning the
Open House TO be held at the Pre-
sidiO Of Monterey, Calif.)
PRESIDE of MONTEREY, Cal
June 20-Tsutomu p. Tekawa
technical director, Military Intelli-
gence Service Language School
announced today that newly ac-
quired movies, recently received
from Japan, and not normally a.
valuable to the public, and some old
films such as "Shina no Yoru'' will
be shown to guests attending the
Open House to be held at the Pre-
sidio of Monterey from July 1-3.
1t is believed that the film "shi-
ma no Yoru" should attract much
favorable attraction, judging from
the recent showing Of the film In
Seattle In conjunction with the re-
cruiting tour made by this school.
This film attracted more than a
filled 8. r. o. hall of two thousand
persons. 1t is true than many per-
sons have already seen the picture
during the pre-war days, but it has
been some time since Japanese
pictures were shown to the Public
and there is a great demand for
even so-called old pictures as "shina
no Yoru". It Is well known that
many japanese. especially Issei,
would like to see some late pictures
for reason of pure interest or judg-
ing for themselves whether the ia
panese production methods have
improved with the aid of the occu-
patton force motion picture tech
nicians. Those who have been ra-
bid Japanese movie enthusiasts
heretofore would have q grand field
day in seeing the recent movies
shipped by air to this school as well
as engaging in the other activities
programmed for the Open House.
-Four and one-nalf hours of films
will be shown during the two days
and only choice ones from the MI
Sis film library are being select
ed for the benefit of the guests at
tending. Mr.. Tekawa made assur-
ance that If the majority OF the
guests consist of Issei, certain "tra-
gcdies" will be shown, and If most
of them are young people, lighter

was one of us. Her name had
been Momaje pronounced Mo-ma-
iay). She had been born in
Canada. Her father was some sort
of consular official and had named
her Momaje. which in Japanese
means maple leaf" after Can
ada's national emblem. We liked
Momaje and her pretty name. She
was a slicker at basketball and
our star on the track and field
team. We never thought of her
as Japanese except that it gave
her added glamour.
I can recall religious prejudice,
though And the hurt and humili-
alton it caused me. Our neighbor-
hood was predominantly Profess
tant. I was the only child who
went to Catholic Church. Among
my immediate playmates the sub
ject was discussed with interest,
but never with rancor. I traded
my holy pictures for the tracts
the Protestant kids got at their
Sunday School and had definite
edge in the trading due to the fact
that they were all after my trades
because of their comparative ra-
rity.
Never was there any feeling of
strangeness or prejudice on ac-
count of the difference in our
religions. Not, that is, until the
tough gang of older boys decided
to make our little gang their cur
rent victims for bullying.
They learned 1 was a Catholic.
DIRTY Mick" and "Catholicker"
became their favorite cat-calls any,
time I was in their vicinity. The
first time it happened l ran home
crying to my mother. She told me
to ignore them. I did But things
were never quite the same after
that.
The TOUCHES had branded me.
On the surface l was accepted by
my own gang, but the feeling that
was an alien. in a religious
sense not one of their "breed. g"
could not be denied. They never
asked for any more trades" with
my holy pictures. Sometimes
when came upon them there
woulc be a sudden silence and an
elaborate effort to introduce a new
topic of conversation. would
know that they had been discuss
ING religion.
Perhaps being branded was a
good thing. Perhaps it helped to
keep me from racial and religious
prejudices of my own.
All I know is that I hope I'll be
able to keep Theodore III and
Ulysses free form similar preju-
dice. And it looks as if its time to
start right now.

Theodore til and the Race POrblem

From Mamie MOIoney's I'm one
Ear" Column in The Vancouver
SUM
The race question raised its ugly
head for the first time in our re-
lations with four -and-a-h half year
old Theodore III this week.
Mummy" he asked me out of
clear blue sky, what is white
grip"
I haven't the foggiest notion
how the question came into his
mind, but no doubt the subject
must have come up somehow among
the small fry in his gang.
"A white girl" I replied, keep
ing my answer to the minimum
requirements, lis a girl with white
skin"
The answer seemed to satisfy
him. But it didn't satisfy me.
Though the Book tells you to sup
ply no more information on a sub
ject than the child asks for, a
gnawing fear in the back of my
mind that this could be a forma-
tive moment in his life prompted
me to go into further explanation.
You know Black Sambo?"
asked, mentioning his currently
favorite character in juvenile fic-
ton. He nodded assent. well"
continued, Black Sambo's skin
is black. White people and black
people are the same except that
their skins are different colors."
II like Black Sambo," he said
HE ate 224 pancakes for dinner.
Can I have as many pancakes as
Black Sambo?"
Sure" l said, "as many as you
can eat" And there ended our
first discussion of the race ques-
ton.
1t got me thinking. How early
arc prejudices formed In the child's
mindp Did l handle the subject
correctly? Should 1 have brought
Black Sambo into the discussion
on my own or waited till some
future time when he should bring
the matter up again?
l know why I felt I had to give
him more information than lie
asked for. That phrase white"
girl from the lips of my four
year-old made me go cold inside.
1t implied that the discussion he
had heard had gone further than
his question to me indicated. Not
knowing what he had heard, nor
how much, felt had to point out
to him. somehow, that all people,
no matter what color their skins,
were alike in other respects.
I tried to recall my childhood.
When had first become conscious
of race prejudice? I couldn't re-
member. There had been a ia

Jewish Groups Split
On Representation j al
Special U. n. Session
By Tho Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, April %.
"A split among Jews emerged to-
day over who will represent their
interest at the special Palestine
session OF the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly.
The official Jewish Agency for
Palestine and the Hebrew Commit
tee Of National Liberation made
rival claims last night for the right
to represent the Jews.
Each filed a formal request with
Secretary-General Trygve Lie ask
ing for designation as the authorized
representative at the special session.
This action posed several questions
| for the Assembly.
First, the 55-nation body has no
rules covering action on communi-
cations from non-governmental
agencies. Initially, it must be de-
cided what status should be given
to the communications.
Jews Not to Get Vote.
| II the Assembly decides to recog-
nize them, then 1t will have to
determine first of all whether the
Jews should be given a voice In
the Assembly and next who should
represent the Jews.
\ Even II the Assembly does recog-
nize the communications, opposition
is expected to form against per-
mitting the Jews seat at the ses-
sion. But should the Jews be given
an opportunity to plead their case
before the body they would not be
permitted to vote.
Some quarters said an arrange
ment similar to that adopted in the
Security Council might be agreed on.
In the Greek case both Albania and
Bulgaria were invited to sit at the
Council table and give their views,
but they were not permitted to vote.
Meanwhile, the Arab states lined
up solidly behind proposal for
immediate consideration Of Pales-
tines independence at the special
session opening Monday.
Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, within
few hours, submitted requests
identical with the Egyptian demand
that the Assembly's agenda be
broadened to include immediate
action to terminate Britain's League
of Nations mandate over the Holy
Land.
Urge Additional Item.
The conflict in the Jewish camp
came when the Hebrew Committee
not recognized by the official jew
ish Agency-disclosed it had asked
Mr.. Lie that an additional item be
placed on the agenda providing:
l. That a Hebrew national dele
CATION be granted a seat in the As
sembly with full power to partici-
pate in the deiiberation on nom
voting basis.
2. That the Hebrew Committee OF
National Liberation be authorized
to constitute the delegation.
The Agency, official voice Of Pal
estine Jews, Immediately challenged
the right Of the Hebrew Committee
to speak for the Jews. It countered
with formal request that the
Agency be designated as the author
lied representative.
