awarded first prize in the Buddhist
Golden Jubilee photo contest. 1t was
announced last Friday by Kameo

best Of nearly 200 entered In the
contest.
Shigeto Mazawa Of Chicago's
"Shoeshine Boy" took second place
while Charles r. Kinney Jr. Of San

"Rural Tapestry"
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton Loeber, out
standing experts of pictorial art
and nationally known photograph
er, and Bill Cannon judged nearly
100 prints selected for the final con-
test.
I'VE thought there would not be
many Issei and Nisei photograph
|ers interested in non-candid and
more formalized picture-taking so
opened the contest to everyone,
even professionals" KIDD said.
Therefore, we were pleasantly
surprised when we turned over the
prize winning pictures to look at
the names pasted on the back to
find that the top two and the ma
jority of the winners were Japanese
Americans" he added.
All prize-winning pictures will be
displayed at the local Buddhist tenn

Post Office Discloses Drop
In Relief Parcel Post Rates

use of himself or his immediate
family. The items which may be
included in these relief parcels
are limited to non-perishable food
clothing and clothes-making ma
terials, shoes and shoemaking ma
terials, mailable medical n d
health supplies, and household sup
plies and utensils If permitted un-
der existing postal regulations.
The maximum weight of each
parcel must not be more than %
pounds, and the maximum length
and girth combined not more than
70 inches.
The words "U.S.A. Gift Parcel"
must be conspicuously written on
the address-side of the parcel and
also on the customs declaration.
The new regulations came about
as the result of arrangements be-
tween the Post Office and the De-
partment of the Army, which has
been authorized under provisions
of the Foreign Assistance Act OF
1913 to appropriate sums for re-
lief program in occupied areas. The
program in this instance includes
bsidization of ocean going
freight for individual relief pack
ages to Japan, Korea, and Okina-
wa.
The Washington JACL Ado In
its representations to the Econo-
mic Cooperation Administration
and the Department of the Army
had pointed out the dire need for
relief supplies In these countries and
the presence of a considerable ia
panese American population in the
United States which would aid in
supplying relief packages in great
err numbers given the inducement
of lowered parcel post rates.
The Post Office emphasizes that
the reduced rates apply only to re-
lief parcels, and not to parcels to
be sent by air or parcels of a COM
mercial nature.

French Withdraw 5000 Franc Notes

PARIS, (P) - The government proposed yesterday to withdraw all its 5,0O0-franc notes from cir culation as blow at both infla- ton and the black market
 Authorized cources said this would grab about S500,000,000 worth of francs away from black marketeers. There are about &C., O0O,OOO notes of the denomination in circulation, worth about one billion dollars at the free exchange rate. The informants indicated those who could not explain their possession of the notes would have them taken away.
 The government closed all banks to forestall speculation dur ing debate on the measure. Pre- mier Robert Schuman urged the national assembly to act quickly so that banks, the stock market and other financial agencies might open by Saturday.
 Passage of this measure and the governments free gold trade bill seemed assured by a socialist decision to support them in the as sembly. Schuman had staked his cabinets life on his monetary pro- gram. The cabinet last Sunday de- creed devaluation of the franc and the establishment of a free money market.
 The 5,000-franc note is worth about $15 on the free market. Its withdrawal is something like the withdrawal of all $20 bills woulc be in the United States.
 PARIS, (P) - Both houses of Frances legislature approved to- day the governments bill with drawing all 5,OO0-franc notes from circulation.

British Worried Over Middle East Relations

LONDON, (P) - Britain'S gov ernment worriedly eyed the Mid dle East today, fearful of a crisis in their relations with the Arab states.
 Officials conceded that recent riots in Baghdad reflected seri- ous British miscalculation of pop ular Arab opinion. The riots were in protest against a revised Brit ish-Iraq treaty of alliance.
 Some informants said the Brit ish may try to retrieve lost ground by proposing slight modification of the treaty, which was signed Jan. 15. It has not been ratified. The government of Premier Salih Bey el Jabur, which negotiated the revision, quit Tuesday.
 The treaty would permit British troops to enter Iraq in event of war and would allow the British to use Iraq airfields.
 There was some hope that new Iraq government might be formed which would be able to convince the people the treaty is in their best interests.
 Foreign secretary Ernest Bevin had expressed hope the British Iraq treaty would be one of a sys- tenn of alliances to form a British Arab bulwark against the spread of communism in the middle east.
