Actually, the scope of 1t is so broad,
and the language so vague, that IL

This would be a step toward govern

Danger to America
This law, like many others. is
urged as "in the public interest"
Yet, all the way through, it is to
the public's detriment. Very least
the bill could do would be to sub
stitute a set of rules devised not
by railroads, but by government
agency, for the know-how and ex-
cellent record OF expert manage
ment men on the job This would
be a gross waste of money, of man.
power, of efficiency. 1t could mean
much feather-bedding of labor. in
the name of safety.
But that would be the least harm
1t could do. Here is an innocent
looking bill. but this type of legis-
lation must be Stunned like the
plague. Do we want government
management? Do we want federal
regulation in every activity of our
lives? When the complete control
and ownership of business falls into
the hands of government, then we
may as well say goodbye to the
ordinary freedoms that we in Am
erica hold dear. We cannot afford
to endanger our own welfare nor
the future of America with such
legislation.

numbers fell by the wayside.
Reports indicate that more than
100000 of the POW's either star
we'd to death or went mad with
the concentrated physical and
mental pressure. Fifteen per cent
of the total number of Japanese
in Russian hands are repeatedly
never coming back, simply be-
cause they are dead.
Among the repatriates there were
apparently three types of anti
Communists. The first group includ-
ed those with a religious faith. most
ly Christians. However, there was
one Nichiren Sect priest who was
violently anti-Communist. He was
a marked man from the beginning
because he was a priest and received
pretty harsh treatment. He him
self cannot explain why the Russians
allowed him to come back. 1t may
be that the Russians thought he
would do more harm if they left him
to spread his -Communistic feel
ings.
Then there were those intellect
uals. mostly over 30, who had had
education and experience in the
business world. They knew the adj
vantages of a capistalistic system
and could rightly judge the short
comings of Communism. They could
see the great gap between the teach
ings and the day to day realities
of Communism.
Finally, there was group that
was reserving its Judgment until
1t had reached Japan, until they
had found out for sure whether
what Russia was saying about Japan
was true. They had been told that
the Japanese Government had not
sent ships to get them, that the
streets of Tokyo were full of bare
foot vagrant children. that the eco
nomy of Japan was on the verge of
collapse. Anyone who has walked
down the streets of Gina will tell
you how much truth there is in
these Russian statements.
All of these "red radish" Com
munists professed an outward be-
lief in Communism, worked hard
to attain ever-rising production
goals, kept their real thoughts and
feelings hidden and endured in
human treatment only because
they wanted to come home.
Most of them had gotten to the

quent loss of ration and privileges,
the repatriates got into the habit
of not talking to anyone outside of
those one could trust.
The afOre mentioned "aktiv'
were sent to a special school where
they were thoroughly indOctrina-
ted. They were taught over and
over that If anything was wrong
II was the fault of the japanese
imperialists. They are well versed
in the principles and violent tao
tics of the Communist teachings
and apparently ready to take
their place in the ranks of the
domestic Communist Party. They
have been so well indoctrinated
that some of them, upon landing
at MaiZuru, were able to mouth
glibly the teachings Of COmmu-
nism much more quickly and easily
than the name of their home
town or village.
If there are any projected plans
for the work of the Communist re-
patriates in Japan, only the "Ak-
tiv" know about them and. of course,
are not going to reveal them to any
one. The repatriates, when they
left Nahodka, were told not to say
harmful against The Uni
ted States or the Occupation. The
word revolution" was conspicuous
ly absent from their vocabulary.
Newsreels of the repatriates land
ing at Maizuru showed robust, en-
ergetic men who were far from ema-
ciated or tired looking. This. how
ever. can easily be explained by Char
les Darwin's law of survival of the
fittest. Only those strong enough
to withstand the mental and physi-
cal hardships imposed on them
during their stay in the Sovied
Union came through while countless

no spirit and no purpose in life
They had become nihilists. They
danced and sang when told to do so
like SO many automatons. An order
was enough to make them do things
which they actually did not want
to do.
Stories are plentiful of how fami-
lies of repatriates had to drag their
fathers or husbands or brothers from
the crafty gyrating mob of repatri..
ates in order to forcibly get them
on trains to go home. None perhaps
would have conducted himself so
shamefully if he had been all alone.
Apparently. while in Russia their
food ration was quite substantial,
much better than it was at the be-
ginning of their internship How
ever, most of the repetrates, who
would speak of such things, reported
that the life of the Russian peasant
is a very substandard one. Many
households have only one pot or
pan, whereas in Japan even the
poorest of families have at least four
or five pots and pans
Contrasted with this was the
life of the officials of the Com
munist Party. The POW's often
worked as servants for them, and
the contrast between the life Of
these officials with the ordinary
people was so great as TO be be-
yond description. This was only
another indication among many
others of the discrepancy between
the teachings and the actual prac-
tice of Communism in the Soviet
Union.
Many of the repatriates are still
suspicious of any kind word, of any
kind deed. Their reeducation will
have to be gradual process They
will have to be given opportunity
to see for themselves how much
truth there Is in the things they
were told about Japan while they
we're in the Soviet Union.
Their return at this time when
the Government is carrying out u
huge slash in its padded payrolls,
may have been timed to create dis
order and unrest in a Japan which
has in the past year turned the cor
ner towards some sort of economic
stability.

Air Force to Open Cadet School
In Texas, Sgt. Kramer Says

The Air Force will enlarge its Avi-
alton Cadet Program this fall by
opening an Aviation Cadet navigator
school at Ellington Air Force Base,
Houston, Tex, Sgt. 1 CT. Paul H.
Kramer announced today
The new school, designed to train
navigators needed for aircrews of
the latest types of transports and
bombers, will be patterned after
the Aviation Cadet Pilot Program
in eligibility requirements and train
ing.
The first class will begin Nov
ember l, and a new class will follow
each month thereafter Approxima-
tely 100 students will be enrolled
in each class
During their year of instruction
in the latest methods of radar navi-
CATION, the Aviation Cadet naviga-
tors will receive 1874 hours of navi-
gational instruction in flying class
rooms" For this purpose, the Air
Force will use new type of trainer,
the T-29, version of the twin-en-
CINE Convair airliner adapted for
navigational training
To be eligible for Aviation Cadet
training, men must be between the
ages of 20 and 261s, must be U. S
citizens, and may be either married
or single They must have at least
2 years of college or the ability to
pass an equivalent examination. The
qualifications for navigator train
ing are the same as for pilot train
ing except for vision and hearing
requirements, which are more strin-
gent in the pilot training physical
examination than in the physical
exam for navigators
Cadet navigator graduates will re-
ceive commissions as second ieute-
nants in the Air Force Reserve and
aeronautical ratings as navigators.
Outstanding graduates will receive

initials.
Those of us who live in this dis
trict and work in this district are
dong everything we can to build
up the reputation of the area; to
see the conditions that exist are
improved upon and, it is not at all
helpful to have a comment such as
yours appear in public print. am

generalization that is not warranted
I have frequently been on Jackson
Street at midnight and have yet
to hear the cry of any waitress In
any Japanese-owned restaurants. I
am sure that many of us in this
district do not feel that Jackson
Street is spiritually lost, down and

has is completely undeserved.
I'VE are hoping to have an Inter
national Festival next year with the
hope of publicizing the better things
that go on in the Jackson Street
area. Tt is my hope that you too
will see some of the better things
in our district and give them the
publicity they deserve.
Very truly yours.

Mr.. Solomon is absolutely right
in stating that the generalization
"is not warranted" and that Jack

sure that we will do our best to
publicize the "better things" in our
district around about International

on these two counts: ~ the item

NAACP
Protest Film

The NaNtional Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie has vigorously protested a film
which may one day appear in a
Dayton movie house. The film has
and all-Negro cast and is entitled
"Feeling All Right" 1t is a docu-
mentary on venereal diseases and
was produced for the Mississippi
State Board of Health. Plans are
underway to distribute the film
widely including commercial film
houses.
Basis of the opposition to the
film is in the words of Roy Will
kins, acting NAACP secretary:
mo matter how well the story is
told, the unacceptable conclusion
OF lay people who view the film
will be that Negroes as a whole
are infected with venereal disease
and thereby constitute a menace to
the rest of the population"
A film such as this would cause
a widespread intensification of
segregation and all the accom-
panying evils against the Negro
people. AS Wilkins pointed out in
