Solons Act on Two Appropriations
Providing for Claims Processing

The Senate version Of the second
deficiency appropriation calls for
more money in several departments
than authorized by the House. Those
differences must be worked out IN
House Senate conferences before
the bill becomes law However, the
action is not expected to affect the
evacuation claims ALLEGATION.
Mike MasaOl<a, JACL ADO nat
iOnal legislative director, said it
Is possible that passage Of the
STATE-Justice- Commerce Judi
ciary appropriation measure pay
ment of evacuation claims might
begin next fall. though no time
table for payments has been re-
ported by the Justice Department.
Some criticism has been expressed
that the initial payment fund calls
only for 81 100000 while total claims
losses may run as high as 10000
600. However, 1t was pointed out the
Justice Department may pay claims
only up to $2,500OOO. Claims ex-
ceeding this amount must be APP
proved individually by Congress.
Congress also may, and undoubtedly
will, make additional appropriation
from year to year until all evacua-
ton claims are justly settled.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June IL
The Senate has acted on two APP
preparations each of which provide
funds for processing or paying eva
cuation claims, the JACL ADO was
advised today.
An Evacuation Claims fund of
$780, 900 is contained In an appro-
priation for the State-Justice-Com-
merce Departments and Judiciary
branch of the government which
has been reported favorably by the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
The bill, already approved by the
House. will be acted upon in the
near future.
The $1.2OO,0OO fund, aIIocated
TO the Justice Department, pro-
vides $I,OOO.OOO for paying claims
and S2OO.OOO for processing claims.
This Is the first money specifically
appropriated for the payment Of
evacuation losses.
Approximately $4,000 is provided
in the so-called Second Deficiency
Appropriation act which has passed
the Senate and the House, and pro-
vides funds for the Justice Depart
ment to pay for work previously
done in processing claims.

As Japanese for Okinawa People

said.
Although before and during the
war Okinawa was considered a part
of Japan, today it is treated as a
separate political entity Until Its
status is decided. 1t may be difficult
to achieve the four points which
are of high importance to Okina-
vans in both Hawaii and the United
States.
Informed OPINION IS that one
Of two courses of action will be
taken in respect to Okinawa: 1t

trustee under the United States,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL
A resolution to give all legal immi.
grants in the United States the
right to apply for naturalization;
without respect for race, was passed
unanimously Monday by the House
of Representatives, according to The
JACL Anti Discrimination Com
mittee.
The resolution, III. ]. Res. 1881
introduced by Rep. Francis E. Wal
tiers, ID, PENN. chairman of the
House Subcommittee on Immigra-
ton and Naturalization, now goes
to the Senate for study by its Sub
committee on immigration and
naturalization. II approved by the
Senate and signed by the Presi-
dent, the resolution has the full
effect of law.
The resolution was introduced at
the request of the JACL ADO.
The action marks the second time
this session the House has acted
favorably on a measure to grant
equality in naturalization to all i'm
migrants.
It's first action was an almost
unanimous vote of approval for the
Judd bill to give naturalization
rights to all immigrants and reopen
Americas shores to limited immi-
grafton by Asians still barred from
this nation.
The Judd bill, which passed the
House March l, has been tied up IN
the Senate Subcommittee on Immi-
grafton and Naturalization since
that date.
This subcommittee, headed by
Sen. Pat McCarran Cd, New, and
including Sen. Forrest c. Donnell.
(R. Missouri as its only other men,
Der, also must act on the resolution
before it goes to the full Senate.
However, the resolution is con-
sidered far less controversial than
the Judd bill which has been at
tackled by some groups because Of
provisions affecting Chinese i'm
MIGRATION and those setting up
quotas for colonial countries.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director said he
was hopeful and confident the Sen
ate will act favorably on the re-
solution for naturalization before
adjournment in July or August"
The resolution is exceedingly
short. In one vital paragraph it
says: The right to become a nat
uralized citizen of the United States
shall not be denied or abridged be-
cause of race The resolution pro-
vides. however, that no alien who,
under law existing Immediately

HOUSE UNANIMOUSLY PASSES
RESOLUTION TO GIVE ALL
RIGHT TO i. S. CITIZENSHIP

prior TO the enactment would
have been ineligible to immigrate
to the United States because of
race shall become eligible.
Masaoka pointed out the most
controversial phases of the Judd
bill are those dealing with immi-
grafton. Virtually no one has ques-
toned the moral or humane right
10 permit all immigrants to have
the right to become citizens.
Sen. Mccarran has publicly voiced
this same view
II should be noted special Sen
ate committee, also headed by Sen,
McCarran, has been making major
study of Americas immigration laws
during the past year. The study
will take at least another year.
1t has been the view of some
that no action be taken on amend
ing immigration laws until this
special committee reports out an
omnibus immigration bill, proba-
bly, next year.
Sch reasons as these were the
compelling factors in getting the
JACL ADO to ask Rep. Walter to
introduce the resolution dealing
solely with naturalization.
Some $4,000 immigrants, approx
mately half living in Hawaii and
the others in the United States,
would be affected by the naturali-
zation resolution. OF these, about
95 percent are japanese, three per-
cent Koreans and a scattering are
southeast Asians and Polynesians
If the resolution becomes law,
il would mark the first time in
American history that all immi-
grants had full and equal rights
to apply for citizenship.
Since passage Of the first immi-
grafton act in the early days of this
nation until the 1940s, no Asiatics
were entitled to apply for naturali-
cation During the war, naturaliza-
ton privileges were extended to i'm
from India, China and
the Philippines. H. j Res. 238
would extend this privilege to all
peoples of the world,
Robert M. Cullum, of the Com
mittee for Equality in Naturaliza-
ton, said the House action on the
indicates clearly that
the people of this nation as well as
its lawmakers, are convinced the pri-
vllege of naturalization should be-
long equally to every people legally
admitted into the u. S."
AS did Masaoka, Cullum said he
was hopeful over the possibility
of the resolution becoming law.
Meantime, MasaOka said the
JACL ADO was not giving up hope
that the Judd bill still may be
reported out of committee in the
Senate for action by the upper
chamber, "but we realize it is ne
cessary to achieve first things
first. The legislation closest to our
people is naturalization, then
comes immigration.
Some day we know America will
give full and equal treatment to all
Oriental races in the eyes of immi-
grafton and naturalization laws. We
have great faith in the fundamental
desire of America to deal with all
races on an equal basis" After ALL"
he said, that is the basis of demo-
cracy"

Some people never look up until
God lays them on their back. II
takes a siege of sickness or adver-
sity to get them to train their eyes
heavenward.
To be sick and not to be brought
thereby closer to God, is to be
doubly sick. But to be sick and in
that sickness to find ourselves being
drawn closer TO the comforts of
Christ's Gospel, is to be blessed
in the midst of our Affections.
Someone has said: I'm sickness
let me not ask so much, Am I get
ting better from my pain, as, Am
getting better for it," We shall
become better for our pain only
in the measure in which it drives
US closer to Christ for comfort and
strength. He is "the Lord that
healeth US" both in soul and body.
He says to all who love Him: Il
will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee. / am with you always, even
unto the end of the world" He
gives US the ability to recognize
divine logic in such Scripture pas
sages: Whom the Lord Loveth He
chasteneth."
If you have no church utilization
and are i'll or otherwise distressed,
let US help you to find a blessing
in your affliction. That is one of |
our services to this community
