MASAOkACI CITES
VIOLENT ACTS
AGAINST NISEI

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL
In his second appearance before
Congressional committee in as
many weeks. Mike Masaoka, nation
Il legislative director OF the JACI
Anti-Discrimination Committee, last
week urged a House subcommittee
on anti-lynching to consider ia.
vorably legislation with teeth in
it" to outlaw lynching and other
forms OF mob violence.
The Nisei spokesman fer the
national Japanese American CT
tizens League told the committee
that had there been a Federal
statute specifically condemning
these acts of violence, much of
the terrorism that marked the
return of evacuees to the West
Coast i'm 1945-46 would not have
happened. The more than 100
incidents of violence against per-
sons of Japanese ancestry in Cal
ifOrnia alone, he added, have re-
vealed that while the Negro Is
the principal victim Of lynch
ing, "0ther minorities too have a
stake in this all important ISSUE"
The Subcommittee, under the
Craftsmanship Of Representative
Clifford p. Case, Republican of New
Jersey. is winding up its hearings
this week on anti-lynching legisla-
ton. 1t heard testimony by Mr..
Masaoka and number of Con
gressmen, including Kenneth Keat-
ing, New York Republican, who is
author of a bill aimed at curbing
lynching; Helen Gahagan Douglas,
California Democrat, and Charles
r. Clayson, and John w. Heselton,
Republicans of Massachusetts,.
Both Masaoka and Representative
Heating testified before a similar
Senate subcommittee late in jan
uary.
The JACL, Masaoka said, is
particularly interested in the bill
introduced by Congressman Case,
pointing out that the language Of
the Case bill broadens the defini-
ton Of lynching from the narrow
and restricted popular conception
to include all other forms of vio-
lence and terrorism. The mea-
sure also condemns inactiOn Of
the States that results in the dis
criminatory withholding Of pro-
lection or in the conformation Of
mob action, he noted.

3 More Seek
Restoration
OF Citizenship


Another suit to restore U. S. citi-
zenship to three former Tule Lake
evacuees has been filed in the Fe-
deral District court last week, 1t
was announced by A. L. Wirin and
his associates.
The plaintiffs are Paul Kiyoshi
Shimizu. James Kaoru Shimizu,
and William Seiclfi Shimizu. They
seek to set aside their renunci-
alton status on the grounds that
when they were in the segregation
center at Newell the entire camp
was in the state A'of confusion, "
and that their action was not done
under normal circumstances.
A similar case was filed by the
attorneys in the Federal court in
Spokane, Washington, in behalf of
Sadaye and Sumiyuk Tambara.
tie Presidents action in endors-
ing legislation designed to outlaw
lynching, declaring that it was an
effective step in the right direct
ion to afford to all. persons irres-
pectiye of race, color, creed or nat
ional origin the equal protection
Of the laws at all times and In all
places"
A number of incidents which &C.
Cured on the Pacific Coast, in
which citizens and veterans were
subject to violence, were related by
Masaoka who emphasized that
when barbarism and terrorism of
lynching and mob action become a
community concern. as the Case
bill proposes to do. irresponsible
little men and women who now
may hide their identities in the
crowd will be more fully exposed to
the public eye and Zneir false cour-
age will be diGsipeted correspond
'ngly."
He told of the case Of three
brothers-the Yanagimachi boys
who tried to return early In 1916
to their oyster farm in south
western Washington. Though the
young men were decorated vet
erans-tw0 having served with the
442nd Combat Team in Europe
and the other in the intelligence
service in the Pacific-they were
threatened with bodily harm
when they returned home to re-
sumo their living. An ex-marine
tried to protect the Nisei brothers
but he finally was forced to give
up when a mob threatened to tar
and feather him.
Then there is the case of Sumio
Dol. a father of two veteran sons,
whose packing shed was burned
and dynamited by terrorists. Ano-
Their veteran, Pfc. Wilson Makabe,
who lost a leg fighting in Europe,
returned to Newcastle, California
to find his home burned to the
ground and his orchard destroyed.
He was told: IF you don't leave
town, we'll carry you out" A
month after this incident, terror
lists set fire to the home of Bob
Riorishige of Selma. japanese
churches were not spared. Many
were broken into and wrecked while
Others were destroyed by arson
lists.
AS recently as last November, two
Japanese Americans, both veterans,
we're beaten up near Sacramento
simply because their assailants
didn't like Japs"
I'm every one of these cases."
Masaoka testified, 1--WE believe
that the local atmosphere Of
hostility and hate against the re-
turning japanese American was
responsible for these cowardIy
attacks"

Use by Services Favored.
Before the House action was taken
an armed services subcommittee
voted unanimously for a bill to per-
NIT the use of oleomargarine by the
Army, Navy and Air Force. Al!
three services are now prohibited
from serving the spread.
The subcommittee voted to give
its chairman, Representative An
derson, of California. authority to
report to the full committee later
this week bill to accomplish this
purpose.
The bill will repeal the prohibi-
ton contained in Army approoria
ton acts for many years against
serving margarine to soldiers and
airmen, and it also will amend the
Navy ration law. The present law
provides sailors shall receive one
and six-tenths ounces of butter
daily which will be altered to in
clude the words "or oleomargarine. -
Martin Sees Repeal Victory.

Rivers, predicted victory over this
tribute to the butter trust He will
have the backing of most Of the
Democrats and of large group OF
Republicans, mostly from city dis
tricts where the high price of butter
has stirred up resentment against
the margarine taxes.
The Rivers bill would wipe out the
present taxes on oleo margarine and
also would end the license fees: $500

salers of colored and 5000 for whole
salers of the uncolored margaine,
