During the war years conferences

rehabilitation of education in war

these deliberations they came to the

was sponsored and pushed by ADO.
One of the major legislative VIC
tories so far achieved by ADO has
been the Evacuation Claims Act. To
clear up any misunderstanding re
garding this law. let me point out
that TT DID NOT PASS ITSELF
It was sponsored by ADO. 1t took
months of patient work and effort,
Congressional hearings and confer
ences, before 1t finally became law
IT'S passage meant that evacuees may
receive up to 500, 0Oo. 900 for proper
ty and personal losses suffered In
the evacuation.
Ado has fought for more than
legislation. II worked for months
10 get administrative ana civil ser
vice rulings eliminating discrimin-
atory practices against persons Of
Japanese ancestry.
JACL-ADC filed briefs and shared
the cost and effort Of carrying two
significant cases through to success
full Supreme Court decisions. They
have the greatest meaning for Issei
and Nisei living In Pacific Coast
states. The first of these was the
Oyama case, which halted escheat
proceedings against Japanese in
Western states, and protected Am
erican citizens from the Alien Land
Laws: the second was the Southern
California Fishermen's Association
'ase which helped restore the rights
Of Issei commercial fishermen.
Even with the ruling, the Supreme
Court decision on commercial fish
ermen would have been hollow
victory without eliminating other
discriminatory restrictions. such as
exit permits" Today, thanks to the
sustained effort of JACL-ADC. COM
mercial Issei fishermen from Seattle
to San Diego have equal rights with
other commercial fishermen.
Forty-one years ago President
Theodore Roosevelt, by executive
order. established the so-called al
United passports. This fall, JACL-
ADO finally got President Truman
to revoke that measure, which limit

And. what we think is equally I'M
portant to legislative success. have
been our efforts to achieve public
recognition of the problems besetting
Issei and Nisei In America. For ex-
ample, when the Presidents commit
tee on Civil Liberties compiled its
distinguished report, ADO worked
closely with It. The result was the
specific mention Of such injustices
as inequality In immigration and
naturalization and tat that time)
failure of the government to COM
pensate evacuees for personal and
property losses.
Later, when President Truman
specifically asked for the Evacua-
ton Claims Act, the cooperation Of
JACL-ADC with his committee on
civil rights bore fruit. The Evacua-
ton Claims Law was the only phase
of the presidents Civil Rights pro-
gram to pass the Eightieth Con-
gress.
Now, II Is significant that until
JACL-ADC began seeking legisla-
ton to give legal equality to Issei
and Nisei. no association of Japa-
nese Americans or japanese had
ever achieved passage of one single
bill on either the state or national
level designed to remove discrimin-

officially to Japanese.
