Memorial Day in Our Community

memorial LAY Ill OuI OollIuuliCy
Memorial Day was first estab
lished by General John A. Logan in
1903 as a tribute to the dead of war.
At that time General Logan said:
''Ict us then gather around their
sacred remains and garland the pas
sionless mound above them with the
choicest flowers Of springtime; let
us raise above them the dear old
flag they saved from dishonor; let
us in this solemn presence renew
our pledges and aid and assist those
whom they have left among us as a
sacred charge upon a nations graft
tude-the soldiers and sailors wi
dows and Orphans.
Those words were spoken in the
days of the men of the Blue and
Grey.
Eighty years have passed, and
the world has known two World
Wars.
The situation, however, has not
changed much. Memorial Day,
which falls this year on Monday,
May 81, still is day to pay tribute
TO our war dead.
In our community Memorial Day

}ty-ncvcr was a personal expert

During World War II, the Nisei

loyalty to our country, and they per-

and heroism ON the various battle
fronts of the world. Many returned,
some without any injuries and

THE JUDD BILL

One of the most important mea-
sures now pending in Congress, as
far as the Japanese element is con-
cerned is the Judd Bill, designed
to place the Japanese nationality
on a par with all other racial strains
in the matter of immigration
and naturalization. Under this
measure, japanese aliens would be
eligible for naturalization on the
same basis and under the same re-
quirements that now pertain to
other nationalities-a proposition
the simple justice and equity of
which commends itself to all fair
minded persons.
This, however, would not be the
only effect of the measure. Since
the immigration laws are tied to tie
naturalization laws, passage of the
Judd Bill would remove Japanese
immigrants from the excluded class
and permit them to be admitted on
the basis of an annual quota. This
quota would, of course, be very no.
minal perhaps not many more
than a mere hundred immigrants
would be admitted in any one year
Nevertheless, by the application of
an immigration quota, the stigma
of exclusion" would be lifted from
the entire race.
Nor is this all. The various alien
land laws are likewise phrased SO
as to apply only to persons ineli-
gible to citizenship, of which class
the japanese aliens comprise by

ABOARD THE SAIPAN, Dec. 20
Turning back less than a days
run south of Greenland, this ship
with her rescue helicopters was en-
route back to Norfolk today after
an exchange of messages with Ali
Force personnel who helped lift Il
stranded airmen from a Greenland
icecap yesterday.
Some 1000 men who gave ur
Christmas at home to make the
emergency run into the North At
lantic were hoping to get back
through the Virginia Capes IN time
for the New Years holiday.
Best estimates now were that the
Saipan can dock at Norfolk on New
Years eve.
From galleys to forecastle, hangar
deck and machine shop all the way
up to the bridge, the reaction was
its tough break for the Navy but
we're glad the Air Force made It,"
Most had bucked enough foul
weather, including the rough voyage
north. to have warm spot in their
hearts for fellow servicemen sweat
ing it out on the icecap.
I'VE sea going people really shoveleo
on the COAL" exclaimed a coloreeo
mess attendant when word Of the
rescue flashed through on the ward
room radio. And we're plenty dis
appointed not to get there first. But
no man, I don't care what service
he joined up with, ought to have to
sit on an iceberg any longer than
he can help"

New House Democrats
Shy Away From Post
On Spy Probe Group
BY ths Assoeiofed Press

New House Democrats-and many
oldtimers-are shying away from
seat on the House Committee on
Un- American Activities.
A veteran of five terms said today
the party's leadership may have to
draft" the fifth Democratic men,
Der when the committee majority
switches next week.
This lawmaker, who would not
permit use of his name. told re-
porters that Speaker designate
Rayburn has had letters expressing
committee preferences from all 10l
new Democratic House members
and from more than so present
members.
But not one has asked to be as.
signed to the spy-hunting commit
tee-even as second choice.
The Un-American Activities Com
mittee now has nine members
Ave Republicans and four Demo-
Gratis. The ratio will be reversed
in the new Congress convening
Monday.
Four Democrats Back.
All four present Democratic men,
bers will be back-Representatives
Wood of Georgia, who is in line for
the craftsmanship; Rankin of Missis-
sippi, Peterson of Florida and Hebert
of Louisiana.
Three of the five Republicans will
not be back Representative Mundt
of South Dakota was elected to the
Senate, and Representatives Nc
Dowell of Pennsylvania and Vail OF
Illinois were defeated for reelection
The two returning are retiring
Chairman J. Parnell Thomas Of New
Jersey and Representative Nixon OF
California.
Republicans clear their committee
preferences with the heads of the
various State delegations SO there
was no definite way of determining
whether the minority party will have
trouble finding its two new members
for the committee.
Procedure Compromise Sought.
Meanwhile, compromise efforts are
underway in an effort to avoid an
open fight over proposals to change
the committees investigative pro-
cedures.
Mr.. Mundt, Mr.. Nixon and several
other lawmakers have suggested
that the committee adopt new rules
aimed at guaranteeing greater rights
to witnesses, especially those under
committee suspicion.
Mr.. Rankin, however, and some
Others have termed these proposals
efforts to hamstring the committee.
To counter this situation Repre-
sentative Forand of Rhode Island,
chairman Of the House Democratic
caucus, came up with an idea to
create a special committee. It's job
would be to draw up a code of rights
thatawould apply to all congressional
committees-not the Un-American
activities group alone.
The House caucus. which includes
all Democratic members, will get a
chance to debate the whole sub
ject at meeting Saturday.

YugosIav Trade Talks
With Russia Believed
Now at Critical Point
by the Assoeioted Press

BEL GRADE, Yugoslavia. Dec. 90
Yugoslav trade negotiations with
Russia are believed by foreign dip
lomats and political observers here
to have come to critical point.
This belief is based on three
things:
!. Marshal Tito's declaration in
Parliament Monday that Yugoslavia
would turn to Western capitalist
countries for the machines she needs
and would shut off shipments of
vital raw materials to Soviet bloc
countries unless they stop violating
agreements and discontinue their
growing economic squeeze.
2. Yugoslavia's decision to sign a
large trade agreement with Britain
recently, accepting many of the ex-
pensive conditions demanded by
Britain after more than a year of
talks.
8. Statements by some Yugoslav
officials privately that negotiations
for renewal of the annual trade
agreement with Russia are going
extremely slow" After two months
of talks in Moscow not one bit of in
formation has been Forthcoming on
what otherwise would have been
cut-and-dried proposition.
Held Frank Statement.
Tito's speech was considered one
Of the frankest statements yet made
on Yugoslavia's economic and po-
litical relations with the Soviet
Union and the Cominform countries.
In it he has revealed for the first
time the main cause for Yugoslavia S
expulsion from the Cominform.
Russia, he said, wanted his revo-
lutionary regime to give up its plans
for rapid industrialization of the
country, wanted Yugoslavia to re-
main a backward agricultural
country whose principal task in the
Soviet bloc would be to supply food
and raw materials.
To observers here this charge
clarified many of the contradictory
issues which appeared in the Com
inform accusation against Tito and
his regime which every one believed
had gone farther toward the Soviet
pattern than any of the European
peoples democracies."
Tito's threat to sell valuable raw
materials elsewhere in exchange for
machines with which to build up
his own country would be a seri-
Gus blow to Eastern European in
dustry.
CZechs Hardest Hit.
Most hard hit would be Czecho-
slovakia, whose entire supply Of cop
per and major supply of other
metals came from Yugoslavia dur
ing the last year.
In Parliament yesterday Deputy
Premier Edward Kardelj declared
that Yugoslavia would support eco
nomic aid to all countries needing
help according to the United Ma
tions."
This was considered significant
development of Yugoslav policy
brought on by the nations need for
credits and economic assistance for
It's industralization program.

the war with the Communists.
HUI Tsung-nan, Yen Hsis-han and
Ku Chu-tung met with Gen. Chang
today. Later Yen called on the Vice
President. There was almost con.
slant movement among the top off,
cials as they exchanged opinions.
There were recurrent reports here
that Gen. Chang, after more than
20 years at China's Helm, had de-
cided to quit. His successor, these
sources said, would be Vice Presi-
dent Ii Tsung-jen who might try
to negotiate peace with the Reds
But whether the Communists, who
list Gen. Chang as the No. l war
criminal to be tried, will negotiate
with any National government Is
problematical.
All high sources denied the
rumors.
Steadily Gen. Chang has been
pulling back all the troops he was
able to save from north OF the
Yangtze. Airdrops of food and sup
plies to the 100000 troops OF Gen
Tu Lining, trapped so miles south
OF Suchow, have been resumed. But
observers said the effort was more
humane than military. Their
chances of escape are considered

Rayburn Is Silent
On Labor Law After
Talk With clio Head
By J. A. OLeoY

CIO President Philip Murray
called on Representative Rayburn
of Texas this morning, but Mr.. Ray
burn after refused to say what he
thought Congress would do about
repeating or revising the Taft.
Hartley Labor Act.
Mr.. Rayburn, scheduled to be the
next Speaker Of the House, told
news conference that the TAFT.
Hartley Act. vigorously opposed by
labor, was mentioned in the discus
sion with Mr.. Murray. Pressed to
say whether he thinks the law can
be repealed in the new Congress,
Mr.. Rayburn said:
Il haven't investigated the situa-
ton enough to answer that"
Mr. Murray is scheduled to see
President Truman later today.
Mr.. Rayburn recalled that he
voted against the Taft Hartley Act
originally and added, II don't know
this time what Is going to be Of
fered."
Mr.. Rayburn avoided any fore
cast Of what the new Congress will
do as he greeted nearly 100s press
and radio reporters in his ofice.
Il think we're going to get along
very WE'LL" he remarked. Il think
the vast majority in Congress is
going to feel that we have been
called on again to do some things
for the country, and that majority
of our folks will go along"
His reference to unity in Demo.
cratic ranks came while reporters
were firing a volley Of questions
about organizing the House and
changing committees.
Asked what will be done In re.
shaping the Ways and Means Com
mittee, he promptly answered.
We're going to elect six new Dem.
ocrats."
What kind?"
Were only going TO have one
kind" Mr.. Rayburn replied.
What about the Eberharter
plan?" another queried, referring to
the proposal Of the Pennsylvania
Democrat of that name to curb the
power of the Rules Committee in
regulating the flow of legislation to
the floor.
"I heard about 1t for the first
time this morning" Mr.. Rayburn re-
piled. Il have taken no position on
lit yet"
In sidestepping all forecasts Of
legislative action until after the
President submits his program, Mr..
Rayburn observed. For me to say
what the incoming Congress Is go
ing to do would be presumptious."
The Republican Eightieth Con-
gress, which must meet Friday to 90
through the motions of final ad-
iournment, is expected to bow out
of the picture without attempting
any major business.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee meets tomorrow morning
to make plans for the swan-song
session, but Chairman Taft said he
does not think there will be much
on the agenda Democratic leaders
also indicate they prefer to let any
pending business wait for the new
Congress.
