ON DAYLIGHT SAVING

The City Council has decreed
that Seattle will go on daylight
saving time on June LIST. We know
what that will mean. Well be get

REMEMBER MAY 31st
The annual Decoration Day SER
vices, jointly sponsored by commu-
nifty churches and the NVC, will
be held at Lakeview Cemetery on
Monday morning, May 31st, at 1890
am. Reverend Thomas J. Machida
is in charge of the services.
Contrary to previous custom, this
years service will be single pro-
gram, combining the church cere-
monies with that of the veterans.
This will, it is felt, result in a pro-
gram which will hold the interest
of both the Nisei and the older gen.
Grafton throughout In view of the
Nisei War Memorial Committees

THIS MOVIE STUFF
Your correspondent, for some
time now a fugitive from the movie
houses, finally broke down this
week and saw his first motion pic
ture in about six months.
Well, we got "suckered", but
good Unfortunately, we timed our
entrance for the beginning of the
lesser half of the double bill, and
thus we suffered through somewhat
more than an hour of acute bore
dom before the agony was finally
over and the feature attraction
came on the screen. This, at least
proved to be endurable although
not exceptional.

There is But One DeclSlon-ApproVdl
Public hearings by the Senate on
H.R. 1899, the evacuation claims bill,
were to have started yesterday (F'rl-
day. in the nations capital.
Conducted by special subcom-
mittee of the Senate Judiciary Com
lnittee in which Senator John S.
Cooper. r., Ky, and Senator Warren
G.. Magnuson are the only members,
the hearings are the first of its kind
in the history of our country.
H. r. 1899 is different from other
sO-called "war claims" measures In
that it stems out of the unprecedent-
ed wartime treatment Of a racial
group on the basis of ancestry and
ancestry alone.
Tn its May II editorial, the wide
lv-read Des Moines Register (Iowa)
points out how the evacuation wiped
out a lifetime of labor of persons of
Japanese ancestry and how during
and since the war the japanese Anne
ricans remained loyal to the United
States.
The Register simply puts the
matter squarely as Gin honor and
decency, we can do no less, and
adds that the bill els not an over
generous measure.
The Senate it appears to us, has
but one decision to make-approval.

Our main grippe is based on the
first picture, cops and robbers
show. To be frank with one and
all, it was a real "stinker"; seldom
if ever. have we seen a more sour
example of Hollywood's assembly
line entertainment. we've seen
better acting and suspense in a high
school sophomore class play. Had
we been fortunate enough to have
seen the feature first, about five
minutes of the Glass B thriller
would have been enough for us to
have thrown in the towel.
After this narrowing experience,
it will certainly be another six
months or longer before We again
invest IS cents in the hope of being
entertained via celluloid. A burnt
child breads the fire, you bet.

THE ARLINGTON CEREMONIES

in the unprecedented honor and

eminent officials at the services, a
happening which does not, in the
nature of things, occur every day.
In a ceremony which was COM
