minators of last years titlists, the
Portland Vets. The big crowd that
gathered for the tournament finals
was generally agreed that the two
best teams were meeting for the
title.
Edo Sasaki, the Vets young
pitching star. was a bit unsteady
in the early part of the game as
Ontario jumped into 20 lead with
single TALES in the first and third
innings. Sasaki put himself into
a jam both times by walking the
Ontario leadoff. Kuroda, who scored
both runs for his team. After the
third inning, fireban Edo settled
down and shut the opposition out
with two hits, allowing a total of
five singles for the entire game
and striking out six.
Meanwhile the potent Vet bats
were being held in check by chuck
err Sat Koyano until he hit a wild
streak in the fourth frame and
loaded the bases with two walks
| and a fielder's choice. Centerfield-
er Yosh Fujiwara then picked the
right spot for the Vets first hit,
lashing a screaming triple to left
center which sent the Vets ahead,
80. Fujiwara tailed moment lat
er on Yagi's one-baser, and the Vets
lead, AZ.
In the seventh frame, the Vets
scored another run without hit,
Yagi walking to start the frame and
eventually coming home with run
| No. 5. The Seattle team cinched
the game in the eighth inning as
Matsushita and Heyamoto singled
and Yamaguchi doubled, which was
enough for pitcher Koyano, three
runs eventually scoring to make the
final count 80.
Both Ontario and the Vets made
five hits apiece during the game,
but while Ontario's blows were all
singles and scattered, the Vets
: punched theirs for two big innings
and made the extra base hits count,
which proved to be the margin diff

Truman Signs Bill to Eliminate
Bias in immigration Statutes

For a time it appeared that the
President might veto the bill be-
cause a number of social welfare
groups had protested to the White
House against that provision call
ing for affirmative action by Con-
gress. These groups argued that
Europeans would suffer new dis
ordinations. The American Civil
Liberties Union, however, urged the
Chief Executive to sign the mea-
sure, pointing out that the advan-
tages of the law outweighed any
disadvantages.
Final enactment of H. r. 1866 was
the first major legislative triumph
this year. Congress approved the
evacuation claims bill but it has not
been signed by the President.

NVC MEETING

NVC MEETING
A short business meeting was
held by the NVC last June 80. Bob
Kawahara, Garfield high school
Junior. who was sponsored by the
NVC as a delegate to the Ameri-
can Legion's Evergreen B oy s.
State. gave an interesting report
on his experiences at the recent
ten-day conference. His talk made
il apparent that the conference
was valuable experience in poll
teal democracy, besides gaining him
many new friends. He concluded
his remarks with the hope that,
in the future, MANY more Nisei
boys would have the opportunity
to attend the Evergreen Boys
State.
Following the meeting, water
melon feed. reminiscent of Camp
Shelby days, was enjoyed by the
members. Your correspondent did
rot, however, stick around long
enough to find out who won the
watermelon eating title of the NVC.

California for long vacation and
some doubt is expressed whether he
will now pursue his ambition to
run for Governor in 1850.
Some Near Panic.
Near panic reigns among lesser
luminaries-ward leaders and men,
bers of the Legislature-as they
contemplate the aggressive Wallace
appeal to minority discontents in
their neighborhoods. It Is prob
able that they will adopt a save
himself -who-can policy and more or
less openly make deals with the
Wallace party wherever feasible.
Many Democrats in these ranks
have depended on American Labor
(Wallace) and Liberal Party sup
port in the past.
The strategy Of saving the rest Of
the ticket is a common phenome-
non where the head man is weak.
Only strong leadership can avert it
and there "aint no such animal
here at present.
Until this week while the Legis-
lature was at the peak of its activi-
ties, State Chairman Paul Fitz-
patrick was resting on the Florida
sands. Mr.. Fitzpatrick is a pleasant
gentleman of wealth and family.
He could not hold his post flve
minutes if an acceptable substitute
agreed to take over.
The Bronx debacle, which puts a
Wallace supporter in the House Of
Representatives, destroyed the leg
end of Bronx Boss Ed Flynn's ef-
ficiency. Insiders had long been
aware that Mr.. Flynn was devoting
less and less time to his Bronx ma
chine and making more and more
personal appointments which
aroused rancor in the rank and
file. The challenger to his long
reign has not, however, appeared.
Mrs. Roosevelt Busy At U. N.
Too i'll to answer rollcall in
Washington, Senator Wagner is not
Influential. Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt, an able politician, is busy at
U. N. and growing increasingly i'm
patient at the confusion of the Tru-
man administration. Democrats in
the Legislature rock along under
veteran leaders who placidly accept
their minority status, arousing only
occasionally to make querulous and
contradictory complaints about the
Republican Governor.
Good authority reports that Mr..
Farley is on President Truman's
blue ribbon list of Vice-Presidential
possibilities. Too little and too late
is understood to be the Farley re-
action.
This is the situation in long

which the President can hardly
hope to win reelection.

the Helsinki government. The Fin
nish leaders are lulIing themselves
into the belief that signing Of an
offensive-defensive alliance with
Russia, which they claim to be only
a treaty of good neighbor policy,
may save them until the elections
next July. American and British
observers in the Finnish capital be-

will expedite matters in Finland as
they have done in Czechoslovakia.

are embodied in the Taft -Ellender-
Wagner bill. This is a bill passed
last year by the Senate, but never
permitted by the House leadership
to reach the floor.
The Senator, however, did not
make that reply. Instead, he &C
cepted the assignment and under

for Representative Gamble. His
health these days not being as good
as it might be, he conducted the
study by mail. He sent question:

organization opposed principally to

The Moscow tools now claim that
the presence Of such men In the
Vienna cabinet Is q direct menace to
the peoples republics Of Hungary
and Czechoslovakia. Since Austria
is still under a four-power military
occupation, there Is not much that
can be done about the present gov
ernment in the zones Of the west

of the Russian high command 1t is
expected that q peoples govern
ment" soon will be established in
the Soviet zone of Austria entirely
separate from the present Vienna
government. The Austrian capital
in itself does not interest the Rus
slams. But Eastern Austria Is con-
sidered important because 1t forms
an integral part of the Soviet mill
tary system extending from Russia
through Poland, Czechoslovakia and
Hungary to the mouth Of the
Danube and the Adriatic.
"Gentle" Pressure.
The Russians have 1t within their
means to make the further stay Of
! the western powers in Vienna ex-
tremely unpleasant. BY gentle"
pressure, such as handicapping COM
munications between headquarters
and the outside world, they even
tually might compel the American,
British and French military govern
ments to evacuate the Austrian
capital.
Whether Austria is next on the
Kremlin's list, after the Finnish
situation has been settled, is still
uncertain. There are number Of
objectives in the minds of the Rus
sian leaders who are striving for
world domination by peaceful
means" All these are slated to be
accomplished before the end of
summer, at the time when the
American people will be concerned
principally with the November elec-
tions and when domestic politics
will transcend all other matters.

The behavior of the playing pros

me just about as much as being

It is a wonder to me that there
never has been an incident where
q pro shot a pro, In cold blood,
right out on the fairway or green.
I know that If my living depended

ping stony to the pin, and long
brassies rolling close to the flag.
I would be tempted to blaze away

stance like a knight in armor,
came up with brides and eagles
when, by all laws of form and ma

With the exception of 10 or u

Something else, too. A pro golfer,
no matter if he has never won a

that he Is the best. And any day
now, he says to himself, I'll start
shooting nothing but 65's, and go on
to win all the Opens in the world.
He doesn't realize that between him
and glory stand a dozen men who
can play the game better than he
ever will play it. He doesn't realize
that golf galleries come out to see
these dozen or so play, and that for
all the spectator cares he might just
as well have stayed in Whistle Stop.
Stars Bring In Dimes.
This plays the devil with the tour

that II 1t weren't for them there
would be no tournament. But let

and the fact that he Is playing in
Dallas, st. Paul, Orlando, or New

some other husband has gone out in

nothing phonier than the smile and

wife to another golf wife whose hus-
band has just burned up the course.
They make a gallant try, the gals
do, but their hearts aren't in 1t.
So let's not be mad at the pros.

When we think of slums we ars
apt to think only of the larger
cities, particularly of New York
But the Senator received from the
mayors these estimates Of the fam.
lilies in their cities living in slum
or substandard housing:
Los Angeles, 58,400; San Fran.
cisco, 38,67s; Waterbury. Conn.
1000; Jacksonville, Fla. $1,000;

How Figures Were Reached.
The mayors reached their figures
by various methods. Mayor Allen
of Hartford, Conn.,, arrived at TO-
900 by taking into account the
$500 veteran families living in
rented rooms, trailers and tourist
cabins, the waiting list of the local
housing authority and the lack of
repairs in lower rental accommo-
dations.
The Senator's questionnaires in
cluded this one: TN your opinion,
is private enterprise in a position
now or in the foreseeable future
to provide decent housing, new or
old, for all low-income families at
rents or prices within their ability
to, pay?" OF the governors, three
said "yes" and % said no" OF the
mayors, seven said "yes" and 10
said mo-"
In the House, nevertheless, the
disposition seems to be to pass the
Taft -Ellender- Wagner bill-if the
House leaders allow it to reach the
foor-with all provisions for slum
clearance stricken out. Taft says
he will fight to keep those provi-
sions in.

on September S, with Hopkins,
Morgenthau and Stimson attending
I laid before them a memorandum
my associates and I had prepared,
dated September 4, containing sug-
gested recommendations the Cab
met Committee might present to
the President.
Secretary Stimson agreed with
virtually all this memorandum, with
the exception Of the point that the
standard OF living OF the German
population should be held down to
subsistence levels. Secretary Nor
genthau also seemed to agree with
large sections of the memorandum,
but he would not commit himself
to 1t. Harry Hopkins sent me q
note on September in which he
said that, with minor reservations
about language which did not af-
feet the content Of the document,
he approved it.
On the following day our little
group met with the President at
the White House. I presented to the
President our memorandum Of
September 4, with the statement
that it had not been agreed to by
the other members of the committee,
but might serve as a basis for dis
cussion. Stimson presented War
Department memorandum that was
very largely in line with our men,
orandum. Morgenthau, however,
presented the original drastic Treas
ury memorandum.
The discussion that followed was
inconclusive. The distance between
the views of the State and War De-
partments on the one hand and of
the Treasury on the other was SO
great that no meeting of minds
ensued.
AthertOn Asked to Attend.
Thus the matter stood when the
Quebec, Conference met on Septem-
ber II. We had been able to achieve
no further reconciliation of views.
As I have already stated the Presi-
dent was induced to permit Morgen-
thau to attend the conference, at
which the latter intended to advo-
cate his extreme plan before the
President and the Prime Minister.
I requested Ray Atherton, our Am
bassador to Canada, to represent us
at the meetings.
-Four days after the conference
began, I was astonished to receive
from the President a memorandum
addressed to me, dated September
Is, which indicated that he and
Churchill had largely embraced
Morgenthau's ideas. The memoran-
dunn set forth that the President
and the Prime Minister felt that an
feature Of the best meas
ures to prevent renewed rearmament
by Germany was the future DISPOSE
ton of the Ruhr and the Saar.
The ease with which the metal
lurgical, chemical and electric indus
tries in Germany could be converted
from peace to war had already been
upon us by bitter ex-
perience. 1t had also to be re-
membered that the Germans had
devastated a large portion of the
industries of Russia and of other
Allies, and it was only
just that these injured countries
should be entitled to remove the
they required in order to
repair the losses they had suffered.
Dismantling Decided on.
