JUDD REVIEWS
PLEA TO AID
TNELIGIBLES

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10
Following Congressional passage of
the multi-billion dollar foreign aid
bill. Representative w | e r H.
Judd, Minnesota Republican, last
week again urged the House to give
early consideration to legislation de-
signed to equalize the application
of American naturalization law so
that otherwise qualified japanese
and other people of the Pacific
basin may become citizens of this
country. Congressman Jud was one
of the strongest proponents Of the
foreign aid measure.
In a brief speech on the floor of
the Lower House, Representative
Judd, the Washington office of the
JACL Discrimination Com
mittee reported, read an editorial
recently carried by the Milwaukee
Journal which he described as pro-
viding additional evidence of the
need for equalization of naturali-
cation. such equalizo ton is long
overdue" he declared and indicated
that House hearings on a remedial
measure will be held shortly.
The Journal editorial, entitled
END This disqualification" cited
some outstanding cases where the
law denies aliens of japanese an
cestry privileges given to perhaps
less qualified aliens. The news
paper brought out the case of the
Issei mother who had five sons in
the service, one of whom was killed
in combat, and the mother of Pvt
Sadao Munemori for whom a U. s
army transport was recently re-
named. These mothers are unable
to become citizens regardless Of
how qualified they may be because
of the naturalization law.
The newspaper then pointed tt
the great service which Mise
soldiers had rendered this countr!
in time of war, but added succinct
ly, But their mothers and father
cannot become full Americans
Most OF these people have lived il
this country for at least "a years
many of them years longer, bu
they are not allowed to become CT
tizens no matter what they con
tributed to the country or how 10
val and law abiding they have beer
In urging the people and tn
United States Congress to "finisl
the job in 1948," the Journal con
cluded: Immigration controls ar
one thing. Citizenship is another
All qualified permanent resident
of the United States should be eli
gible for citizenship. It is the onl
consistent democratic policy"

Senate Legislation Would Require
$1,000 Japanese Aliens in US.
To Re-RegiSter with Justice Dept.

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 10
Approximately $4,000 aliens of ia
panese ancestry residing in the
continental United States and the
Territory of Hawaii would be re-
uuired TO re-register with the JUS
tice Department under provisions
of bill introduced in the Senate
last week. the Washington office
of the JACL nti-Discrimination
Committee reports
The bill. submitted by Senator
Alexander Wiley. chairman of the
Judiciary Committee Of the Upper
House. has the backing of the JUS
ticc Department which is seeking
10 tighten laws covering the move
ment of aliens in this country.
Under its provision every allen re-
sident of the United States would
be compelled annually to notify In
writing the Commissioner of I'm
migration and Naturalization of
his current address The first re-
gistration would begin July l.
Assistant Attorney General Pey-
ton Ford indicated in a letter to
Senator Wiley that the proposed
law would enable the Justice De-
partment TO keep clocer watch
over the approximately 100000
aliens IN this country He noted
that considerable percentage Of
the aliens who had changed their
residences since the law was en-
acted had failed TO notify the i'm
migration authorities Of the change
and that the courts have been re-
lunctant to prosecute those failing
TO observe the law.
In pressing for passage Of the
measure. he expressed belief that
Il would encourage many aliens to
seek naturalization rather than
continue the burden of having to
register their whereabouts annually.
The Washington JACL Ado office
meanwhile learns that while the bill
would impose n permanent levy on
the japanese who are unable by
law to become citizens II was not
aimed Mt the japanese population.
The measure Is regarded as part
of the general program designed to
increase the security of this coun-
try The bin would further plug
any loopholes In legislation cover
ing alien registration.
Under the Alien Registration Act
OF 1910 all aliens ID years Of age
! or over we're required to register
, with the immigration and Naturali-
=. 2ation Commissioner Every re-
sidcnt was also required TO notify
The Commissioner of change of
address within five days Of such a
change In January 1912. follow
ing the outbreak of war. the re-
gistration was confined TO aliens
to fill out QUESTIONABLE. to provide
photographs. and to be fingerprint-
ed. In l946. the 1912 restrictions
on enemy aliens we're lifted.
japanese aliens are still required
by the 1910 Act to notify the Com
mission of immigration and Ma
> iuralization of any change Of ad-
t dress. The new amendment TO the
: 1910 Act would subject any VIOLA
tors TO fine of 500 or imprison-

Young Peoples Council Patterned
After Jackson st. Group Planned;
Filipino Girl Named Chairman

Representatives of fourteen young
peoples organizations in the jack
son st. area met to discuss the adj
visibility of organizing a young
peoples council patterned after the
senior sponsoring organization, the
Jackson st. Community Council, a
Red Feather agency of the Commu-
nifty Chest.
Dolores Mallori, representing the
Filipino Catholic Youth, was elect
ed temporary chairman of the
group, which was called together
by the Jackson ST. Council recrea-
ton committee. The idea of unit
ing existing organizations of young
adults between the ages of 10 and
rs to work together for the improve
ment of the general welfare of
young people in the area was we'll
received by the representatives
present.
The junior council, If organized
will probably concern itself mainly
with civic matters and other items
requiring group action. The prob
lem of discrimination in employ
ment facing minority groups and
The ways of breaking down this
determination was one suggestion
for the councils program. The
possibility of putting out a COM
mrnity newsletter containing in
formation of interest to young peo-
pie was also suggested.
The proposal to form a council
will be taken back to each of the
organizations for discussion and
for a decision as to whether the
groups wish to participate in the
plan. The representatives will meet
again On Monday evening, April
10. at st. Peters Mission, to report
the action taken by their organi-
cations. If a significant number
of groups favor the program, addi-
tional temporary officers will be
elected and committees appointed
to proceed with the formal organ
eaton.

Asks That Negroes be
Allowed to Aattend
j. Of Kentucky

NEW YORK, Sept. |. CAMP
In a letter to the New York
Times published last week, Harry
Best, professor of sociology at
the University of Kentucky, adj
vocated that Negroes be admitted
to the university.
His recommendation was based
on the fact that his proposal did
not violate the constitution and
laws o fthe state and would not
conflict with possible plans for re-
gional schools in southern states.
He asked for the repeal of the
Kentucky Day laws which do not
allow Negroes and whites to at
tend the same schools. .
In this line, Best wrote:
81 have taught Negroes; | have
sat next to them in the classroom ;
I have eaten meals beside them.
| know that | was no worse off in
consequence; l only hope that
they were not.
"This past spring at a meeting
of the University of Kentucky
chapter of the American Associa-
ton of University professors |
proposed that it be the sense of
that body that Negroes be accep-
ted for graduate work in this in
stitution.
"This was with the understand
ing that the proposal was not in
conflict with the constitution or
laws of the state. 1t was also with
the understanding that it would
not in the way of participation by
the state in a joint institution of
southern states for the higher edu-
cation of Negroes, if that arrange
ment should appear to be the most
desirable.
Speaking Of Negro rights and
the fight for equal educational
opportunities, he recommended
that they be given their rights,
but all these things should come
about on a voluntary basis. He
