want to meet old friends and per-
hapS to celebrate certain happy &C.
casions. Not that want to dia ynose
accidentally the sociological aspect
of the place, but I think tina the
popularity Of Nisei Liquor Is an
index, a manifestation, of an m-
balanced life that some of the Nj
sci lead in the city.
The home" to which I was in
vtted for Christmas was on the third
floor In the tenement district where
most Nihonjin live but, as far as
was concerned, 1t may we'll have
been a Lake Shore drive or Oak
Park home. In the three-room
apartment, a couple of children
played noisily on the floor with
their newly-acquired wealth of toys.
The 1ssei father was enterta lining
his friends by playing some Japa-
nese records. There were hustling
activities with accompanying ex-
element in the small kitchen where
a woman and two girls were prepar-
Ing dinner. Joy and gaiety permeat-
fed In the air so thickly That 1t
could have been cut with a knife. It
has been so long since have been
in a home.
I felt lost standing there. But
n voice came from the kitchen,
''Hey Jobo! Come into the kitchen
and talk to us!"
Everybody was busy in the kit
chen but myself. I stood there like
a dope. Somehow I felt like walk
ing out because I did not feel that
I belonged. Then one of the sisters
who had been chiding the other for
not watching the gravy. showed out
la bowl Of steaming boiled potatoes
toward me.
Nov you're not going to get away
with loafing. Here, you mash this. "
Uncertain at first, I took the ma
isher In my hand and started to
work. Suddenly, I felt immensely
happy and got into the spirit Of the
whole thing. I was now a member
Iof the family.
It was late and dark outside
when I left my friends. They
gave me a bottle of shave lotions
and few knick-hmacks wrapped
In colored papers and I walked
out into the cold air feeling warm
inside.
I strobe home slowly and II be-
gan to snow lightly. Somehow this
|hard-crusted, rational and OCCASION
ally cynical self melted to that of
|sentimentality. I thought Of the
friends I met In Tule Lake and Of
the friends I made in the earlier
days Of Chicago resettlement. And,
somehow for moment, I wanted to
see them and I wanted to re-live
the happier days Of the past, know
ing that I could never go back
|again.
AS one becomes older, the longing
for the days-gone-by become more
intense. He experiences less and
less that joyful feeling Of youth
and soon 1t vanishes altogether.
Wallowing In such moments, I
walked home in the dark. A feel
ing of wanting to cry and to laugh
and to shout surged within me.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. L
Legislation designed TO erase dis
criminatory provisions from the
American nationality and inmigra-
ton laws was introduced in the fl
nal hours of the last session of
Congress by Representative Walter
H. Judd, Republican of Minnesota,
the Washington office of the ia
CL nti-Discrimination Committee
revealed this week.
In submitting the measure to
the House, the Congressman not

sion of citizenship privileges to
otherwise qualified alien Japan

whose military record In World

and that Il would be useful in

The Judd bill would grant ma
turalization right to more than
10000 permanent residents of this
country who have been denied ma
turalization on racial grounds and
would extend immigration privi-
eyes to Japanese, Koreans, and
number of other peoples of Asiatic
origin on the same basis as ma
tionals of China, the Philippines.
md India.
The measure as now worded
would: Cd eliminate all racial dis
elimination from the Nationality
Law; ~ remove the onus of ra-
cial exclusion from he Imnigra-
ton Law, for under this bill 1t is
possible for any otherwise quail
fied person to secure admission to
the United States as an immigrant;
go limit immigration of Far East
tern and Pacific Islands peoples to
thu quotas established for the coun-
try to which they are Indigenous.
The new Judd bill differs from
the Judd Met rath, Celler and other
naturalization bills introduced In
the first session of the Both Con-
gress in that it provides the same
restrictions on immigration as the
Chinese and East Indian Acts
The legislation is regarded by Mike
