Brooks said:

Russians Alter Course
Of Rescued Ship, Keep
Silent on 7S0 Aboard
BY The Assoeiatsd Press

TOKYO, Jan. 12.-The water
logged Russian ship Dvina, her mis-
sion and the identity of her 780
rescued passengers still a mystery.
moved slowly due northward toward
Kushiro, Hokkaido, under tow to-
day, Soviet authorities advised
United States Navy officials. \
The ship previously had been
progressing westward. The altered
course was not explained. 1t was
thought, however, that the Dvina
needed emergency repairs or had
encountered winds too strong to
continue to Hakodate, also on Hok-
kaido. northernmost Japanese home
island.
Soviet officials said nothing about
the present whereabouts Of Dvina' S
passengers One unofflcial theory
of their identity is that they were
Russian political prisoners being
transferred between labor camps.
The Russian authorities reported
however, that the Dvina was now
under. tow by the Soviet tugboat
Pepuhye. Previously they had told
American naval officers the stricken
ship was being towed by the pas
senger freighter Illitch-which the
japanese press reported had taken
aboard some of the rescued pas
sengers. Apparently the Hitch was
relieved to deliver the passengers
to an unknown destination. Off,
cials here considered it likely the
passengers would be taken directly
to Siberia.
The Dvina's destination, Kushiro
is a small harbor 245 miles east OF
Sapporo and about ITO miles north
of the ships position Saturday
when she was fioundering in rough
seas.

Commission Proposes
Nation Wide 2-Year
College Program

The Presidents Commission on
Higher Education today recon-
mended the Nationwide establish
ment of Unsupported COM
munity college" program which
would carry public education two
years beyond the traditional gram
mar-high school system.
MANY young people want less
than a full four-year college course, y
the commission said in presenting
the third of six reports on the de-
velopment of higher education in
this country. The two-year col
lege-that is, the 18th and 14th
years of our educational SYSTEMS
about as widely needed today as the
four-year high school was few
decades ago. Such a college must
fit into the community life as the
high school has done."-
The report said, that "the complex
demands of social, civil and family
life call for a heightened period of
general education for Q much larger
number of young people" and that
adults in increasing number are
desiring to continue their education
through evening classes and hope to
find the opportunities for such edu-
cation near their homes"
Would Aid Older Students.
The commission said that because
the program is expected to serve
cross section of the youth popula-
ton, consideration should be given
not only to apprentice training. but
also to cooperative procedures
which would permit older students
to have alternate periods of attend
ance at college and remunerative
work.
THE limited experience which
colleges have had over the last
three decades with this cooperative
method has tended to confirm the
beliss that there is much educa-
tional value in a students holding
a job during his college days, par
ticularly If that job is related to
the courses being studied in COL
lege," the report said.
The commission said that commu-
nifty colleges should be located so
that one is within reach of the
largest possible proportion of quail
fled students. but that the number
should at the same time be kept
small enough to permit efficient ad-
ministration.
200 Seen rs Minimum.
While no minimum enrolment
figure is universally applicable, it
continued, institutions with fewer
than 200 full-time students or the
equivalent in part time students in
the 18th and 14th years seldom
can operate sufficiently strong pro-
grams without excessive cost. Even
this number will justify only par
tial program"
According to the report, there are
now 180 local communities, mainly
municipal school districts, which
maintain 18th and 14th year cur
ricula as part of their school sys-
TENS.
1t advocated that both the junior
colleges and the four year colleges
under private and church auspices
have fullest opportunity to join in
this community program to i'm
prove the 18th and 14th year school

Franchise Ban against Japanese
In Canada Seen Very Likely

VANCOUVER, B. c., June %
New Canadian Dispatch - The
elimination of a long-standing dis
elimination is indicated in a Ca
madam Press report last week that
japanese Canadians, living any,
where in Canada. may be granted
federal franchise after March 81,
1949-the date on which existing
wartime restrictions on persons of
japanese origin are to be lifted.
The report stated that the House
of Commons election committee
has approved on amendment to the
Dominion elections act to extend
the franchise to Japanese Cana
dams. The move must still be ap-
proved by the Commons.
Except for those who served
i'm Canada's armed forces and
those who have lived outside Bri-
fish Columbia since before the
war. japanese Canadians at pres
ent are disqualified from voting
in federal elections.
In British Columbia. the dis
franchisement of japanese i'm pro-
vincial elections dates from a le-
gislation passed in 1902. which orr
ginally excluded British citizens of
all Asiatic origin from the vote
Recent amendments, however have
restored the vote to East Indians
and Chinese while leaving out the

British Columbia members which
carried this disqualification into the

CANADA ACTS
TO SPEED UP
CLAIMS CASES

OTTAWA, Canada, June 90 =
State Secretary Gibson said recent
ly that several more judges have
been added to the Royal Commits
sion which is dealing with claims
arising from the confiscation of
Japanese property during the war,
according to the Canadian Press.
He said the aim is to bring the
hearings to an early conclusion.
Some 1900 claims were before the
commission, which has held hear
irgs across Canada The Royal
Commission is now sitting in Mon
treal and will return TO Vancouver
for further hearings.
Gibson was replying to Donald
M Fleming (PC-To-onto) who
asked for a report on the commits
sion's progress and said prices paid
by government departments which
brought some of the property were
much lower than the valuation plac-
eel by the custodian of enemy pro-
perty.
Angus MacInnis (CCF-Vancou-
yer) said he hoped the commission
would keep in mind the "tremen-
dous injustices" which had been
done the japanese when they were
"uprooted" from their homes in
British Columbia and scattered"
across the country.
Joseph H. Harris (PC-Toronto)
said he wondered whether Canada
was not justified in transplant
ing" the japanese from a region
where they might have been of as
sistance to troops coming from
their homeland.

provincial franchise shall be de-
nied the federal franchise as well
With the evacuation, Japanese
Canadians who moved outside the
3. c. provincial boundaries would
normally have acquired the right
TO vote both in provincial and fe-
deral elections. But in 1914 the
franchise disqualification was con-
tinued through Clause of Bill
1856.
This clause, in its final form
disqualified from the federal vote
all veteran japanese Cana
dams who moved out of British
Columbia since the second world
war the disqualification to be
continued until six months after
the end of the war. However, the
evacueeS who moved out of Bri-
fish Columbia have been able to
vote in provincial and munich
pal elections.
The most striking feature of the
proposed amendment, as reported
is the acknowledgements of Japanese
Canadians in p. c. in the federal
elections while leaving them dis
franchised locally This develop
ment would appear to foreshadow
an early end to all franchise dis
in p. G. where even
now The Acknowledgement of the
Japanese rests ON very uncertain
grounds, as far as public opinion
is concerned.
