tory issues.
(c) Mayor Devin has taken a cou-
rageous stand and come out in an
about manner, even at the risk
of losing votes, in issuing admin
strative decisions and statements
to Seattle newspapers on such
questions as favoring sales OF
houses to Japanese and Chinese
University professors in previously
restricted residential areas. and in
creating the Seattle Civic Unity
Committee, which in turn has de-
voted all of its efforts toward solv-
ing racial problems that arise in
the city.
3. Organizations willing to help
Nisei secure jobs and give their
support in overcoming racial dis
elimination are Urban league,
NAACP, Japanese American Citi-
zens League, American Friends,
Council of Christian Churches,
National Council of Christians and
Jews, YMCA, YWCA, Jackson st.
Community Council, Anti-Defa-
nation League, Jewish Welfare
Society, China Club and Christian
Friends for Racial Equality.
3. The biggest problem is to over
come fear or hysteria caused by
fear.
(a) 1t is fear of the possible OBJ
jections OF customers and cliencs
which cause employers to refuse
to rehire Nisei. We must first over-
come this fear by convincing such
employers that there is nothing
to fear and by informing them
that other firms have hired Nisei
and with success.

REVIEW OF TALKS BY MEN,
BEERS ON THE PANEL:

BERS ON THE PANEL:
Introduction of the problems by
the moderator, Paul Seto, a student
at the University of Washington.
|. Nisei face racial discrimination in
employment in the following
forms:
(a) Unions that won't admit Nisei
to full membership.
(b) Firms and entire businesses
and industries that have an un-
written policy of not hiring Nisei
where the exclusion Is complete.
(c) Situations where there is an
actual job vacancy and where
Nisei are politely and courteously
not included among those hired,
i.e., rejected very smoothly.
Id Employers who are very frien-
dly and encouraging at the job
interview but do not include Nj
sci among applicants considered
to fill jobs that later arise.
(e) Employers who say they don't
believe in racial discrimination in
employment, but hesitate and
won't hire Nisei because they fear
that client, customer or an en-
ployee might object.
Q. Personality weaknesses of Nisei
which employers use as basis
for rejecting applications for jobs
Ia Mannerisms, speech accent,
slang, choice of clothes, and per-
sonal habits which are not part
of that used by the white" AM
orleans.
(b) Lack of full, genuine smile.
(c) Not sociable enough among
CaucaSians they know casually or
not at all in group or company,
and cliquishness or clannishness
among themselves.
Id Won't seek job with firms
where no Nisei are working and
won't try applying where they
hear rumor that there isn't
chance to get a job.
te) Not good mixers among the
Caucasians, and in clubs and
groups which are predominantly
Caucasian but where Nisei are
welcome.

l. Many persons have no conception

(a) Some are physically, psycholo-

very well in some other field.
(b) Some are unfit for a vocation
because of low aptitude for a job

competent source, such as parents,

ii. TORU sAKAHARA, Nisei attor-
ney, on "Most Promising Job Fields
for Nisei''.
l. The postwar era has shown an
expansion in job opportunities for
Nisei. Firms and industries which
never, before the war, hired Nisei
are doing so now.
(a) Small businesses operated by
Nisei that serve the Caucasian
public seem to be the most fertile
field. Grocery stores, hotels. rest
aurants, cleaning and pressing
shops, florists and others rela-
lively untried businesses are pro-
missing.
(b) The expansion and number of
job opportunities seems much bet
ter for women than for men. The
women are in government service,
insurance, commercial, profession
al and retail stores, nursing, and
numerous small factories.
(c) The progress for men has
been limited, but there is a no
ticeable and encouraging change
from pre-war situation. Possible
ties are good in a number of scat
tered manufacturing firms where
Nisei are getting in today. Boeing
and Olympic Foundry have hired
q large group of Nisei and are
leading the trend.
I'D We must go out and get the
Job = not wait for it to come 70
us.
2. The economic situation is due to
bog down some day and we are
going to meet resistance in en-
ployment.
(a) This means better farming,
background and performance will
be required of Nisei in order 10
secure a job.
(b) We may have to accept jobs
temporarily in fields other than
the one we are prepared, or in
jobs lower than what we are quail
fled. In such a situation, we
should not expect to be given ad-
vantages or better positions be-
cause of more or education or
training.
Co The main problem is to get
job first as Nisei generally make
good after they once get a job.

THIS CIRCULAR HAY keeper
has been developed and tried in
Oregon. If it works well there, it
should work better in Montana be-
cause we have a drier atmosphere.
1t is a combination hay drying and
storage building. The drying can be
accomplished by either natural draft
or forced draft.
For drying by natural draft the
center air chute acts as a chimney
and draws air through the Slated
outer wall. AS heating in the hay
takes place the air in the center
duct becomes warmer and tends to
rise up and out. The air rising up
the chimney, on center flue, creates
a pull which slowly draws warm air
out of the hay through the cracks
left between the outside vertical
wall boards.
Since no point within the hay is
more than 5 feet from either the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01

center duct or the outside wall, slow
formations of heat can be carried
off without danger of fire or spoilage
if the hay has not been tramped.
In Oregon, hay chopped long con-
tanning up to 80 percent moisture
can be cured by the natural draft
method. This is hay that has been
about half cured in the field, but
would be too wet to stack, bale Oh
store in the barn.
The hay keeper can be filled by
any blower or elevator that will
handle chopped hay. A ladder up
the center chute provides access to
the top of the stack. The hay can
then be pitched down the chute into
a feed cart below.

Complete Rebuilding
OF Republican Party
May Be Considered
BY the Associated Press

A plan to rebuild the Republican
Party from the grass roots up,
through State and regional confer
ences, may be proposed to the Re-
publican National Committee at
Omaha next week.
Senator Brewster of Maine told a
reporter the idea of sectional meet
ings has been discussed by the Sem
ate Republican Policy Committee.
The Senate group yesterday de-
manded that the National Commit
tee consult with the lawmakers
before calling any national policy
drafting conference such as sug-
gested by Republican National
Chairman Hugh D. Scott, jr.
1t instructed Senators Brewster,
Capehart of Indiana, Wherry and
Butler of Nebraska to urge the party
group to name committee at its
Omaha meeting to study the ma
tional conference plan, but to delay
any actual call until later.
There seems to be quite bit of
sentiment for starting the work Of
rebuilding the party on a State level,
followed by regional conferences,
Senator Brewster said.
He added that he will! broach this
idea at Omaha next wednesday or
Thursday.
The Maine Senator may be named
next week as campaign chairman
for Republican Senators up for cleo
ton in 1850. He would divide re-
sponsibilities with former Senator
John Townsend of Delaware, who
has served as chairman of the Cam
paign Committee for several years.
Senator Brewster said he hopes
Republicans in Congress will be
fully represented if any national
conference is called TO draft policy

who doesn't always see eye to eye
with his COP colleagues on matters
of policy, told a reporter he thinks
it would be a good thing for the
party to have a national conference.
Its about time the Republican
Party faces the facts Of life" he
declared. I'VE can't go on yelling
socialism at every proposal that
is made for social welfare legisla-

"The people who have been bene-
flied by Government aren't ever
going to vote again for party they
think might slam the door on such
benefits. We've got to develop a
heart as we'll as a head"
Senator Tobey said he thinks the
National Committee ought to be re-
built on a State level.
