Some Of the Things Your Congressman

Editors note: AS a useful in
formation to Japanese American
citizens, THE NORTHWEST
TIMES today prints a JACL-
ADO release on letters to con-
gressmen. All japanese Ameri-
cans-those who are eligible to
vote today and others who Will
be voting In the years TO come
should know the likes and dis
likes of congressman to whom
they may some day be writing
for legislative action.
The most important legis-
Iation for Oriental Americans in
fifty years, is before Congress
today. 1t is HR 1904 which calls
for the end of discrimination in
the naturalization law.
(Readers are urged by THE
NORTHWEST TIMES to write
now to DIR. Walter Judd, con-
gresham from Minnesota, who
is at the head of the movement
to have HR 1904 passed by Con-
gress.)

its laws, the Government argues.
A third ground for invalidation
of Section 900 Of the California
Fish and Game Code is that 1t Is
in conflict with Section 16 Of the
Civil Rights Act of 1870 which
provides that all persons In the
United States shall have the same
right to the full and equal bene-
fits of all laws and proceedings for
the security of persons and pro-
perty.
Masao Satow, visiting national Sc
cretary of the JACL, saw great
significance in the Attorney Cen
erals filing of the brief, pointing
out that the governments support
of the JACL's position in the Ia
kahashi case was another indica-
ton of the United States desire to
protect the civil rights of tine var
ious minority groups residing WITH
in this country.
That the government had inter-
vened in this particular case, he
added, Is furthr evidence of the res
pect which the JACL commands In
its fight for justice and fair play
This action by the Attorney Gen.
erals office virtually eliminates Q
long fight by the japanese Ameri'
can Citizens League to rally suf-
ficient forces to beat down serle'
of discriminatory legislation intro
duced from time to time In the
California legislature.

The brief, signed by Attorney
General Tom G. Clark, Solicitor
General Phillip B. Perlman, and
special assistants to the Attorney
General, Philip Elman and James
L. Morrison, argues that the Cal
ifornia law involved in the dispute
is invalid on three separate grounds;
Cd 1t denies the petitioner the equal
protection of the laws in violation
of the l4th Amendment; 90 1t con-
stitutes an unwarranted limitation
upon petitioners privilege-derived
from federal law-to enter and re-
main within the United States and
any State; and, go 1t is in conflict
with provisions of the Civil Rights
Act of 1870.
In adopting Section $50, Calf
ornia has, the brief declares, in
corporated In its laws a classifi-
cation based primarily on race
and color and by so drawing a
line Imposes an obligation upon
the state to show justification to
overcome the prima facie invalid
ity Of a racial discrimination"
II emphasizes that the statute can
hardly be justified as q conserva-
tive measure, adding: Nothing
In its provisions or In Its legis-
lative background and history has
been cited TO support such claim"
Thus, by this classification, Ia
kahashi is not being able TO earn
his livelihood as a commercial
fisherman Ii being denied equal
protection Of the laws.
On the second point, the brief
says Section 800 constitutes an
invalid incursion in the field o1
immigration and naturalization-ir
which federal regulatory author
ty Is, of course, supreme" BY i'm
posing an unjustifiable limitation or
Takahashi's capacity to earn q live

gress- to enter and abide In tn,

probable effect of Section 900 is t,

and remaining In the State" an,
this, as the petitioner argues, ma
well have been Its principal pur
pose," 1t adds.
The invalidity or section $50 Q

A Coyote For Teacher
BY JHAN AND JUNE ROBBINS

Tom Ward. Not faxed for mo-
ment, she simply numbered them,
l, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Later she knitted
sweaters with numerals for all of
them. An Omaha, Neb., teacher,
stopped cold by a mischievous
pair of identical twins, finally
marked one of them with-an ad-
hesive tape cross on his forehead.
In general, children seem to get
along best with a teacher who in
dorses such a direct, understand
able approach. One high-school
instructor, at the urgent request
of his all-female class, shaved off
his mustache the first day of
school - and won their admira-
ton forever.
She Got a Bouquet
DIsAPPRovAL, however, is just as
quickly demonstrated. A fourth
grader who had been prejudiced
against certain teacher by his
older brother started things off by
presenting the woman with a bou-
quet of poison ivy. And a fiery
little kindergarten in Worcester,
Mass, snatched up her teachers
shoe and flung it out the window.
Humor and resoucefulness are
often better weapons in the school
room than the ruler and the Ounce
cap. One eighth-gade teacher
was baff1ed on her first day last
year to find all the girls in her
class were down at the local movie
house where Crooner Perry Como
was appearing. The teacher, how
ever found a solution: she tele-
phoned the manager of the theater.
A few minutes later, the next
days homework assignment
was flashed on the screen.
Sometimes teachers find it ne
cessary to call for help. Such was
the case in St. Louis where the
notorious absenteeism of a rucu-
lent youngster caused his teacher
to warn him on the first day OF
the new term, IF you are absent
once, shall report you to the
truant officer"
The child was calmly defiant.
GO ahead!" the instructor was
told. MY old mans the truant
officer"

anything can happen
on that opening day
GONE 25,Ooo,ooo youngsters re-
- turn reluctantly to Americas
public school classrooms this
month. Few probably look for
ward to being there but a stout
percentage will come we'll pre-
pared to make the first day as in
teresting as possible.
1t is practically dead certain
that the first day of school will not
pass, for instance, without num-
Der of false fire alarms, several
hundred genuine wastebasket fires,
and hail of spitballs sufficient,
one paper manufacturer estimates,
to print semester's run of First
Readers.
Some of our 10000 teachers
enjoy it, some dread it, but all
have cause to remember that first
day. One constant source of
trouble is the tradition that
sends your child to school on
opening day bearing gifts.
One teacher in Flint, Mich, was
overwhelmed when tow-headed
10-year old shyly presented her
with a full-grown skunk. Another
mentor, in Cheyenne, Wyo., was
the terrified recipient of gift one
youngster dragged in at the end of
a leash a snarling, yellow
toothed coyote.

A Hot Tip

A THIRD, in Brooklyn, had the
good sense to appear properly

Counting noses and correlating
them with names is teachers
toughest first day task. The aver
age grade-school instructor learns
as many names in her career as a
politician. Even same-names and
look -alikes seldom trip her up.

herself in a country classroom
