HASTE To Take Office
As Judge By January |

Because President Truman has
issued recess appointments to the
Judges whose nominations were
sent to the Senate a week ago, it
seems probable that Governor Has
tie will take Office as Judge of the
Third Circuit Court some time be-
tween nov and January l.
The exact date of his departure
will depend upon discussions with
presiding Judge Biggs, Jr., of the
Third Circuit who the Governor
will see next week.

Selecting Y.
Governor Is Delicate
Matter for President

In answer to questions from
the press Governor HASTE stated
that he believes that a presiden-
tial appointment of a Governor
for the Virgin Islands is one of
considerable delicacy and no I'M
solicited statement should be
made by him to influence the
Presidents views. He can only
stand on the statement he made
to the press earlier on the subject.
Asked if it is his impression
that Morris de Castro is eminent
ly qualified for the position as
Governor, he replied that is un-
doubtedly correct. On the subject
of the possible appointment of
Roy Bornn as Government Secre-
tary, the Governor commented

Saturday evening. A few hundred
persons who heard of his coming
were on hand to greet him with
cheers and handclapping. There
was no official greeting because
OF the Governors expressed desire
for privacy. 1t is known that he
likes to move about freely with

and see things for himself.
AS the Chief Executive came

ACT
TO TAKE
IN VIRGIN ISLANDS

In explaining the recent action
of Congress on the Federal Air
ports Act, Governor HASTE stated
that when the act was amended
about a year ago to include the
Virgin Islands a mistake was
made in that the bill should have
been amended in two places in
stead of one.
Congress has nov corrected the
bill by amending the second place
that the Islands can fully par%
ticipate in THE program. The act
provides that the Virgin Islands
shall receive SO of the moneys
appropriated for airports in the
territories.

HOUSE OK's BILL TO
DREDGE ST. CROK


The House has passed and sent
to the Senate the bill to authorize
the dredging of the st. Croix Har
Dor. The chances are favorable
that the project will be authoriz-
ed in the 81st Congress.
There has been no success in
getting an appropriation for the
dredging of the st. Thomas Har-
Dor. The Bureau of the Budget
may again include the project in
its 1950-51 budget.

Their studies are essential before we
can reliably accept such findingsD.
a precautionary suggestion presents
itself, namely. that getting people
together (such as, between races) in
itself is not necessarily the solution
TO differences between people While
such a program may increase
friendly feelings among some, Il
may also intensity the feelings Of
dislike among others.
This article presents incidental
findings Of a study made essential
ly to test method. The suggestion
is again made to readers Of the dam
ger Of accepting this study as re-
preventative of Nisei students at
the u. Of w.
I should like to close this article
with my sincere thanks to all the
students who participated In this
study, for without their cooperation
my study would have been impos-
sible.

The analysis on year in college
brought these results: Freshman
chose freshmen 57q6, sophomores
25q6. and ls% among the others,
sophomores chose freshmen 36R,
sophomores 49,. juniors 1917. Sc
niors Sc. Juniors chose freshmen
s9s. sophomores 24qb. juniors 49,,
seniors 2egs, graduates SO. Seniors
chose freshmen So, sophomores AZ.
juniors 40%, seniors 36%, graduates
1879.
Here we find the freshmen. sopho-
mores, and juniors making in-group
choices. particularly the freshmen
group. The seniors deviate from the
pattern slightly. giving 7e% of the
choices to the juniors and seniors
with the juniors receiving AZ more.
The presence of older @. I. students
in the upper classes may explain
the deviation.
Reviewing the choice patterns
thus far presented, we find q signi-
ficantly in-group pattern regardless
of which of the several factors we
have considered This suggests asso-
citation (propinquity) as the most
important factor, at least in friend
ship choices. Students Of The same
classes and majors tend to meet
more, and chances for friendship
are that much greater. Nisei choos-
ing Nisei may also be explained IN
terms of association. The choice
pattern of the J. s. G. and Valeda
members strongly emphasizes this
suggestion.
An interesting aspect of this stu
dy was the inclusion Of this item;
ct is an obvious fact that we do not
like everyone equally well. List here

don't like SO well, wouldn't care to

These and other problems are
real and important, not only to ia

1t is a responsibility of all citizens

This, then, is the challenge. In
their social and community acti-

financial support, japanese Amer

the additional responsibility of
working actively to eliminate those
ipiustIces which make us lose face

the support of a newspaper like

actual questions asked Of this Of

Street Northeast, Washington 2,
d. C. Questions Of general inter-
est may be reproduced in this Sc
ries without personal identified
ton.
No questions involving the le-
gaIity or value Of specific claims
can be answercd.)
1. @. I was evacuated from
Terminal Island by the Navy ear
ly In February Of 1912. Public Law
$3.50 mentions only the military
Area" May / file q claim under
the law for my losses?
A. Even though the actual physi-
al evacuation of persons Of Japa-
nese ancestry from Terminal Island
was handled by the Navy. as an en-
Urgency matter, early in February,
as legal matter the Military Com
mander pursuant to Eclusion Or
der 9066 subsequently excluded all
persons Of Japanese ancestry from
that area either by specific exclu-
sion order or by a general exclusion
covering all of Los Angeles county.
It is evident from the Congressional
hearings on the Evacuation Claims
Act that 1t was intended to reim-
burse persons residing on criminal
Island as well as persons ,.esiding
elsewhere in California. It can be
strongly argued as legal and prac-
teal matter that the losses suffer-
ed were practically and legally due
to the evacuation program.
2. @. At the time Of evacua-
ton I was offered $500 for an
electric refrigerator for which
had paid $4,000 six months be-
fore. thought this price was SO
outrageous that instead Of selling
the refrigerator I gave It to q
neighbor. DO I have claim and
for how much?
A. You have a claim for at least
the difference between the reason
able value Of the refrigerator and
the amount you could have sold II
for. In cases where property coult
not be sold at all and had to b
abandoned, claimants have a claim
for the reasonable value Of the pro.

oerty at the time of abandonment
But in your case where you could
have gotten small price for your
refrigerator, the Government might
be justified in deducting that
amount of the loss was due to youi
own voluntary action.
3. @. PRICE, - evacuation was
compelled to leave my employ
ment. Thus filed for unempioy-
mt mt compensation through the
local U. S. Employment Service
and after the usual reporting
period was advised OF my award
for unemployment benefits cover
ing about 10 or 10 weeks. subse-
quently received one check just
before entering camp and one
check while In the Assembly CEN
ter, the latter check accompanied
by a letter advising me that ]
could no longer receive checks
under the circumstances. / was
ineligible because l was unable TO
report weekly TO the local U. S.
Employment Service advising
them that was still unemploy-
cd and also one must be available
for employment, both Of which was
not possible. May claim for the
balance of these unemployment
checks as was gainfully employ
ed throughout my stay in the as
sembly center?
A. In view of the basic theory OF
unemployment insurance, which Is
payment for subsistence during I'M
employment due to inability to OBJ
tain employment and not due To
sickness, incarceration or other
causes, 1t seems very unlikely that
your claim win be allowed under
the Evacuation Claims for the per-
iod you were receiving subsistence
in detention or relocation center
OF course, the only way you can
obtain an official decision of the
Attorney General Is to file the
claim and have ruling made.
4. @. During the period prior
to the exclusion orders, there was
much talk to the effect that II one
did not have a birth certificate,
one would not be allowed to leave

were not recorded at the Court.

records at the Japanese Associa-

a result, I made legal contact on
this matter at the charge of 500.

tween the normal charge for the
birth certificates and the price
I had to pay?

birth certificates Is doubtful claim
under the Act for several reasons
First, 1t Is difficult to show that this
expenditure was a reasonable con-
sequence Of the evacuation, which ir

cult to understand why the birth
certificates cost 500, although thai
