Lenten Service Revere

To the Editor Of The Star:
have just returned home after attending the
MONDAY Lenten service at Epiphany Church.
At about 20 minutes before time for the
service to begin the church was crowded.
The Rev. DR.. Joseph Sizoo was the visiting
clergyman and, as any one who has ever heard
him speak or has read any of his writings
knows, he Is a dynamic person.
Looking over this vast congregation, the
question came to my mind: why are we all
here? Is it merely the drawing power OF man
who brings message Of hope and comfort to
large group of people gathered together in a
downtown church? Or Is 1t that in these days
OF confusion and restlessness, we are all reach
ing out and beyond our own helplessness for
that peace which passeth all understanding?
Jesus said, My peace I give unto you, not as
the world giveth, give unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled neither let us be afraid This
then, is the peace the world cannot give
neither can it take away
Dr. Sizoo prayed that our minds be freed
from fear, that our hearts be freed from bit
terness, that our lives be freed from SIM Surely
here is tried and true prescription for the Ills
of sin-sick world. MABEL G. SIMMS.

Auchincloss Experiment Roasted

To the Editor of The star
Occasionally that outmoded argument is
made that residents OF Washington are treated
as children idiots and criminals" because a
suffrage once Overwhelmingly used, abused
and abolished-has not been restored.
A broader political perspective not only might
correct their misguided political Concepts but
impress upon them the humor conveyed by
that argument.
Not one of these august advocates Of home
rule would be likely to trouble himself to cross
the Potomac River or the District line to
escape the alleged mistreatment with which
they had thorough familiarity prior to their
voluntary assumption Of residence in the Dis
trict
They, therefore, unwittingly place themselves
in the category of the hatless coatless man
complaining of inclement weather while a
supply of such safeguards is abundant.
In The Star for March an ardent home
ruler opines that arguments condemning the
Auchincloss bill in Its entirety, because Of some
minor fault. are destructive.
AS a matter of fact, the proposition of home
rule itself is destructive Of the best interests
and well-being Of this community, otherwise
home rule would prevail today. That was fully
demonstrated in the past. The very principle
underlying the Auchincloss bill would render
home rule even a greater farce. Halfway
measures in the Districts history have proven
worse than none-demoralizing.
If Congress Is overworked DESTROYS Of shirk
ing a duty imposed by the Constitution why
not submit constitutional amendment to the
Nations citizenry and let them decide anent
suffrage for their seat Of Government, rather
than resort to the frivolous, ambiguous, politi-
cal Auchincloss experiment?
The very thought Of this scheme, home rule,
Is as absurd as it Is destructive in seeking to
readjust the smoothly working. settled con-
struction of the law in our Federal City to
accommodate the whims Of an ambitious, voci-
ferrous minority. AUGUSTUS LEE.

Der 1945 he has been employed In
a teaching capacity with the Navy
first at Boulder, Colorado, and more
recently here in Washington.
Sakai entered the United States
in 1926 as a treaty merchant. Short
ly after his arrival he was employ
ed In New York by the Interna-
tional Graphic Magazine, "a Japa-
nese publication. He was later
transferred to Los Angeles and re-
manned with the magazine until
1929. He then worked for the Ra-
flu Shimpo in Los Angeles, and from
April, 1882, to Dec. 6, 1941, was en-
ployed as a correspondent for the
Asahi newspaper chain, the head
quarters of which was in Tokyo.
With the abrogation OF the Japa-
nese treaty of commerce in 1910 he
lost his status as a treaty merchant
and deportation proceedings were
instituted against him by the i'm
migration authorities on the ground
that he no longer held the status
under which he was admitted. Con-
gressional action thus cancels any
deportation proceeding pending
against him. The bill granting Mr.
Sakai the right to permanent re-
sidence here was introduced last
year in the Senate by Senator Ed
win Johnson. Colorado Democrat.

NISEI MONUMENT


Original plans called for plao-
ing the monument in honor OF The
Northwest's war dead at Washelli
cemetery. but the latest consensus
seems to favor a location near the
Japanese community The change
of plans was due to two principal
reasons.
First. any monument placed al
Washelli would compete" with the
huge King County memorial, and
thus the two monuments would de-
tract from each other.
Second. memorial services held
at Washelli by the japanese COM
munity would undoubtedly conflict
with services held at the larger
memorial, which would be an un-
desirable state of affairs,
Latest reports therefore favor n
location near the japanese commu-
nifty, upon which to erect the COM
munitys memorial to its war he
roes. The initial location may or
may not be permanent. If and
when plans for a community Nj
sci Veterans clubhouse finally ma
ieriali2e. the war memorial could
be moved to the same location,
Thus. Two projects having in mind
the common purpose of honoring
the men who didn't come back,
