ADCS MasaOka Explains Point
Of EN- Legislation; Amendment
Would Keep Families Intact

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, May II
TO effect an understanding or
the various provisions of the judo
bill conference Vas held at the
Chinese YMCA in San Francisco
en- Thursday, April %, with repre-
sentatives present from local Chin
ese organizations. the International
Institute, and the JACL-ADC.
In attendance we're: Henry Lem

editor, Chinese Press; Henry Shue
Thorn, general secretary, Chinese
YMCA, and San Francisco president
of the Chinese American Citizens
Alliance; Miss Annie Clio Watson

Chew, staff worker, both of the
International Institute; and Joe
Grant Masaoka, regional represen-
tative of the JACL-ADC.
Enactment of the principle of
equality in naturalization and i'm
migration was explained by Masa-
Okla. The Chinese representatives
present expressed fears that the
Chinese Wives Act of August 9.
1916, would be voided. The JACL-
ADO Director pointed out that an
amendment in which many West
Coast senators concurred has been
submitted to the Senate Subcom-
mittee for Immigration and Natura-

In effect it would accord the
Asiatic entrant the same consider

Europe. The proposed provision
would permit the alien wife, hus-
band, and unmarried minor child

the United States non-quota.
The Chinese representatives pre-

ADO Aides Head
For Hawaii

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, May II
With the approval of the Homo
lulu japanese Chamber of CONNER
ce for JACL-ADC fund drive COW
ering all Islands of the Territory, an
immediate start is assured with the
departure today of JACL-ADC Pac-
ific Southwest Regional Director
Sam Ishikawa, and KeiSaburo Koda,
Chairman, Northern California XII
kaken Kisei Domei, aboard United
Air Lines this morning.
Relying upon the generous res
ponse of the people in Hawaii to the
initial solicitation in 1947 the
JACL-ADC is hopeful that sub
stantial amount will be again coll
tributed by Hawaii residents.
Legislation sponsored by the
JACL-ADC has benefited Hawaii
residents in the elimination of the
limited passports regulation of 1907
which prohibited certain Issei who
migrated to Hawaii under limited
passports from admission to the con-
tinental United States.
Further, evacuees moved under
military orders from Hawaii are
expected to file for claims under
Public Law 1856.
Approximately $4,000 Hawaii Issei
would be removed from the "racially
ineligible to citizenship" category
in the passage of H R. 1879.
The mainland party expressed the
hope that the common interest of
Hawaii and the mainland Japanese
would bring sympathetic response
from the Islanders to aid in the
effort to secure enactment of H. r.

sions which would take away the
favored status enjoyed by members
of the Filipino race and urged that
the so-called racial formula under
present law which treats Asiatics
differently from members of the
Caucasian race be corrected. Per-
sons of Asiatic ancestry, with the
exception of the Filipino born in
countries other than their native
land are chargeable to the quota
figure of the Asiatic country of their
ancestral derivation rather than to
the nation of which they are Gill
zens.
The meeting ended on a friendly
note and it was the general belief
that on matters of mutual concern
a common interest and uniformity
of action would be sought.
