WASHINGTON. d. C.. May ID
The elimination of race and religion
as factors in employment will bring
about more effective use of Amer
lean manpower, increase the produc-
tive capacities of the nation and
materially raise the national income
and standard of living, the JACL
Anti Discrimination Committee as
serted today in a statement on the
need for Fair Employment Practices
legislation
The statement was filed with
the House Labor Subcommittee,
headed by Rep. Adam Clayton
Powell. Jr., ID. N. ", which has
started hearings on FEPC legis-
lation.
A bill before the subcommittee
prohibits discrimination because of
race, religion. color. national origin
or ancestry in interstate or foreign
commerce, business or industry, and
labor organizations where 50 or more
persons are affected.
The JACL Ado statement was
filed by Mike Masaoka. national
legislative director. He will testify
before the committee personally
tomorrow
The JACL statement declared .
1--WE know of no other legislation
that will have more far-reaching
consequences for good than this. -
t discusses the employment his
tory of both Nisei and Issei in the
United States prior to the war, and
then says, in part:
Even when defense industries
were opened on the west coast and
skilled help was badly needed,
qualified Nisei -. were rejected
for jobs. Immediately after the
establishment of the wartime
FEP COmmittee) however, because
of corrective action, qualified Nj
sci began TO be considered and
accepted for employment in the
comparatively high paying air
craft and shipbuilding industries.
Because of this experience
with FEPC, we are convinced

essary hut that IL will be effective"
Agreeing that the postwar M
ployment picture shows a tremen-
dous improvement over the pre-war
situation the statement continues,
"if joblessness increases materially
it is quite conceivable that once
again persons of japanese ancestry

The statement analyses the cur
rent job situation for Issei and Nj
Sci in the cities of Seattle San Fran
cisco. Chicago and New York
In a review of New York, the
statement observed that "since The
establishment of state (FFP)
commission. cases of discrimination
have been handled in such fashion
that the general discriminatory pat
tern which existed is being broken
down all along the line Thus. even
where Japanese Americans have not
mad actual contact with discrimind-
ton. the existence of the law has
helped open new fields of employ
ment.
LAS with other minorities." the
statement noted, lit is not a simple
task to discover exactly how extern
sive discrimination actually is ag-
ainst persons of japanese ancestry.
MANY will not make an effort to
obtain jobs in fields or particular
plants where they have learned by
word of -mouth that racial discri-
mination is a policy Others decide
against certain vacations or profess
sions because they fear employment
opportunities are practically nil
Thus. many talented persons are
forced into subjects FOR which they
have little interest and less real
ability The end result is that the
nation suffers
| Because the right TO work Is
synonymous with the right to
live, JACL feels very keenIy that
FEP legislation is a clear and
pressing need. Municipal and state
laws are only a part Of the an
swer. A substantial section of Am
erican business is interstate In
scope. and only federal legislation
would adequately cover this vast
part Of commerce and industry
which would be partially. or neg
tightly affected by local FEP laws
Because we know -. that FTP
commissions can be effective and
efficient, we endorse federal legis-
lation defining fair employment
practices and creating a commission
to enforce those practices. Because
we desire to share as full partners
in this nation. we join with millions
of others who are innocent victims
of color and religious intolerance
to urge the immediate enactment
of F'EP legislation, not because ii
will be an overnight panacea for all
! our ills. but because it will represent
tremendous step forward in inn
plementing our democracy for mil
lions of Americans" the statement
concluded

japanese Baptist Church members
in Seattle and elsewhere will pause
for one week, from May % to 20, to

their church.
Although the church was formally
organized in 1899, the history of the

Toward the close of 1891, three

strustion in the English language
and the Bible at the First Baptist
Church, then on the corner of
Fourth and James Street. Through
the aid of the Rev, G. J. Burchett,
and J. w. Sherwood. small room
was secured and school was held
under volunteer teachers three
nights a week. In April, 1892, one
night a week was given to Bible
study, with Mrs. L. v. Ward as the
teacher, and in May. four Of the
students were converted and bap-
tized, the first Japanese baptized
i'm Seattle.
In the fall of 1894, F. Okazaki
and G. Y. Akiyama, two of the orr
ginal three who had asked for in
struction in English in 1891, were
ordained to the ministry. Both wish
ed TO carry the gospel to their own
people in Japan, and the Rev. F.
Okazaki sailed to Japan on Sept.

SCHOOL IN FACTORY-While
the steel and coal strikes were
hogging the headlines this year,
a new trend has been quietly
manifesting itself in efforts to
improve labor-management rela-
tons. In contrast to previous
programs, the new trend faces
up squarely to one basic indus
trial dilemma: how to get a more
efficient work force. One concern
is now approaching the program
forthrightly. At its two ball and
roller bearings factories in Phlla-
delphia, ski Industries, Inc, has
launched a management devel-
opment'' program for its rank and
file workers and is offering a ser

technical fields. The firm pre-

eient capital Of Mississippi
Washington not only was the
seat of government and a capital
of cultural and social onportuni-
ties, but boasted one of the early
manufacturers of the cotton gin,
which bears the manufacturers
name, Eieazor Carver. And histo-
rians also give supporting evidence
to the belief that cottonseed oil,
today an important money by
product, may have en- developed
there.
The same spirit of independence
which had shaken off European
claims to the territory became
manifest during this period, how
ever, and %quarreis arose between
the people and their appointed ter
ritorial governors. BY 1910 the
Territory was clar o.ing for state
