JACL NO BIAS
IN NISEI CASE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IS
Mo discrimination or segrega-
ton will be enforced against
American soldiers Of japanese an
cestry under the Selective Ser
vice Act of 1913. This was the gist
of commitments from the Select
i've Service Director and the War
Department General Staff which
resulted fro m representations
made by the Washington JACL
Ado office last week.
A statement by General Lewis
b. Hershey, Director Of the Selec-
tive Service system, said in part:
"No discrimination viii be made
with regard to the (Nisei) by the
Selective Service System because
Of race or national origin" He
stressed that American citizens Of
Japanese descent registered under
the Act win be given the same
fair and impartial treatment ac-
corded other registrants.
The War Department General
Staff, replying for Chief OF Staff
Omar Bradley, expressed identical
views. Lieutenant General w. s.
Paul, Director Of Personnel and
Administration stated: Present
ly, japanese Americans who meet
the standards for all other appli-
cants are permitted to enlist in
the Regular Army for assignment
to units without regard to an
cestry. The Department Of the
Array does not contemplate at
this time that this method Of as
signment will be modified In the
case Of Japanese Americans SUBJ
ject to military service under the
provisions Of the Selectvae Service
Training Act Of 194S."

0NE OF THE BETTER hot-weather jobs
~ hereabouts, you'd think, belongs to
George Miller, who has been making ice for
80 years.
But making ice In these modern times
being mostly a matter of machinery, MIR.
Miller finds himself sweltering among his
compressors and condensers even as count
less other Washingtonians suffer amidst
their desks and papers in nonair-condi-
toned Offices.
sometimes" observes Mr.. Miller, some
what wryly 1T gets up to 1l0 degrees In this
place. Now those fellows out in the storage
room are working in 26-degree temperature
all the time They never have it so good
as in summertime"
In the storage room it is pleasantly cool
as you come in of the street. But stay
there long enough and the cold bites through
your tropicals and sneaks up through your
shoe SoleS At a crushing machine which
dices 325-pound chunks into nut size, la
borers fill sacks with the minced ice. They
are wearing gloves and heavy clothes, you
note.
Through an open door can be seen stored
ice-l,900 tons of it stacked up like glacier
in regular pattern. This has been prepared
for the midsummer rush days, and soon will
be depleted like bargain counter at the
end of fire sale.
Ice-making has come long way since the
first natural ice was cut from pond In New
York City In 1899 and shipped commercially
to Charleston, s. c. It wasn't until almost
century later that the making Of ice
artiacially became an industry of any COM
mercial Importance.
Today the plant in which Mr.. Miller Is
employed as chief engineer-one of the
most modern ice factories in the country
turns out capacity production of 240 tons
day. This is accomplished by freezing water
through the agency of ammonia. The am
monia does not come in contact with the
water; ammonia gas is pumped through
pipes ensconced in great vats of constantly
circulating brine. The water to be frozen IS

versity system is to continue render
ing a high standard of educational
and research services to the state.
For example, at Montana State
college, a physics-mathematics build
ing, an animal science building with
connecting veterinary, dairy and
wool laboratories, additional engi-
neering laboratories and shops, COM
pletion of the chemistry building
and greenhouses for horticultural
and agronomic varietal research are
badly needed. Buildings for the ap-
piled art and architecture depart
ments, a modern health service
building and a field house for live
stock shows and judging agricul-
tural machinery demonstrations,
student assemblies and athletic con-
tests are also needed.
Support for Higher Education
The people of Montana will have
an opportunity to vote increased
support for the university system
Nov. 2, 1913. Two measures have
been referred to the people by the
legislature. Referendum 81 proposes
to increase the millage levy on tax
able property in the state, for the
support of the university system for
the next 10 years, from the present
9lL ~o.l1c - e xos111 TI1 ,1oooI
Referendum So, proposes to issue
$5,00Q,000 of bonds to construct
needed buildings on university unit
campuses.
If these measures are approved,
the increased tax load on property
will not be large. For example, in
creasing the present levy by III
mills would result in an increased
tax load of only $3.50 per year for
a taxpayer who has $4,000 of prop
erty.
Of course, the legislature may not
appropriate funds requiring the
whole 6 mills. Passage of Referen-
dunn 81 merely gives the legislature
permission to appropriate up to {
mills rather than the present 31s
The last legislature appropriated
over 5000, 900 for each of the two
years of the current biennium from
the general fund to supplement the
millage earnings to finance the cost.
of the university system. The tota.
appropriations of the last legislature
from the millage and general func
combined equaled approximately
mills, or only l mill less than the
ceiling proposed by Referendum 81
Tax Increase Slight
If Referendum So is approved b.
the voters, the levy on taxable prop
erty to liquidate the $4,000 900 bono
issue cannot exceed 2R mills. Tw'
mills on existing property valuation
would pay off the entire bond issu'
in less than eight years at 8 percent
and a 1-mill levy would lquidate tn
entire bond issue with interest in l
the maximum 21a mills were levie,
to liquidate the bond issue in fiv
or six years, property taxes woul
be increased at the rate of only $7.5
per year on $4,000 of assessed prop
erty value. Thus, both Referendum
81 and Referendum So, if the maxi
mum authorized in both cases wer
levied, would increase taxes of prop
erty owners with $4,000 assesse
valuation only SIS per year.

taken by the Army from the Jews
and recaptured a few days later
by the Jews from Arab hands.
The Jews also tell how a special
type of grenade known to belong
only to Jewish forces had passed
to Arab possession after being
confiscated by the British.
The Jews generally declare that
they are amply able to take care
of the situation but meantime
we are bleeding with our arms
tied. 1t is certain the British
hope to weaken us in the next few
months so that we will beg them
to remain to protect U.S."

of the Palestinians who seem to
be exhilarated by the crisis. 1
witnessed attacks of terror last
year, but when I arrived this time

wrote for the Palestine Post, was
shot dead while walking 200 yards

cold.
Then 1 read an item about an
attack on the Negev colony of
Revivim, the founding of which
helped to film last year for "My
Fathers House," Three of the
boys taking part have been killed.
The Palestinians are drawer than
I. They say that naturally they
must expect final blood payments,
but at last the Jews would have
their own country.

by sign-painting vandals, State po-
lice reported.
The youth, Francis Cruise: his
brother Sheldon. 26, and another
boy, Leon Mountain, left the living

one was injured, State police said.
For the last several weeks, State
police said, the Cruise boys name
has been found painted in red or
yellow paint on automobiles and
buildings In and near Hollidaysburg.
The name usually was accompanied
by an insulting or obscene remark,
police said.
''Cruse Is yellow" was quoted as a
mild example of the messages.
Young Cruise was q star halfback
