JAPANESE CANADIAN WORKER
FIGHTS FOR CLAIMS ON LOSS
SUFFERED THROUGH SHIP SALE

In a statement issued by the
National JCCA. 1t is reported that
the justice minister, while making
no definite commitments in th>
matter. animated" that some con-
sideration may be given by the
government on Gases where there
had been forced sales.
A strong point in favor of pro-
,iding compensation for losses on
these fishing vessels is the fact that
The Fishing Vessels Disposal Com
mittee lacked the legal authority
to sell the boats arbitrarily. This
fact, 1t is reported, has been adj
mitted by Col j. w. G. Hunter
counsel for the government in the
loss inquiry.
Only $50 to $50 vessels were
disposed of by the custodian, the
rest Of the HOO boats being hand
led by the Fishing Vessels Dis
posal COMMITTEES.
Prior to this interview, the Coop
eratiye Committee had written the
former minister of justice, j. L
Ilsey. requesting him to widen the
terms of reference to include fish
ing vessels.
In his interview, Brewm also re-
quested the minister to provide fin
ancial assistance to the Co-opera-
tive Committee which was render
ing invaluable assistance to the
claimants and the government in
the present inquiry. Brewin argued
that the Cooperative Committee
efforts not only speeded the hear
ings, but also Indirectly effected
economy in the expenditure of the
inquiry commission.
The justice minister, however
said he could not recommend to
the government that this request
be accepted.
The National JCCA is giving fur
Their study to the question of ext.
ending the terms of reference.

without the owners consent or

Reason for this speedy action is
that identical legislation was un-
animously approved by the Senate
Judiciary Committee in June 1913.
and passed by the Senate without
objection last June IL. This action.
however. came too late for House
concurrence.
Senator Pat McCarran, chairman
of the Judiciary Committee and
sponsor of this bill in the 80th
Congress as well as the present one,
wrote Mike Masaoka, national leg
islative director: I'm Justice to many
thors nds of loyal Americans of
Japanese ancestry. I believe this
bill should be enacted: and l shall
do all l can to achieve that objec-
tive.
Masaoka predicted that this JACL
Ado endorsed bill would come up
for Senate consideration not later
than next week. and perhaps even
this week if the Senate meets to
consider its regular calendar.
S, 80 authorizes the Attorney
General to consider, ascertain, adj
just, determine. settle, and pay in

destruction of, personal property,

troll of which was prohibited by"
certain proclamations of the De-
partment of Justice.
Claims more than $1,000 may be
reported by the Attorney General
for its consideration.
Claims must be presented within
one year after the enactment of
the bill
The bill, covering alien enemies
and United States citizens of Japan
csc ancestry. provides. however %
that the loss shall not have been
caused by negligence or wrongful
act on the part of the claimant,
agent. or employee, co that the
Attorney General prescribes the
manner In which all claims are to
be substantiated, and 80 that the
property was not used for espionage
or other illegal purposes.
Masaoka declared that this legis-
lation supplements the Evacuation
Claims Act passed last year by
authorizing the payment of claims
for loss or damage to such contra
band articles as firearms, cameras,
and short-wave radios which so
many persons of japanese ances-
try deposited with local and federal
peace officers Immediately follow
ing the outbreak of war.
He also pointed out that persons
of japanese ancestry anywhere In
the United States could file claims
under this bill The Evacuation
Claims Act restricts its claim to
those who were evacuated from Ha-
wall, Alaska, and California, Ore
gon. Washington, and Arizona.

declared if violent attempts were
made to break the strike, long
shOremen along the whole Pacific
Coast would shut down.
StevedoreS cheered a message
from Bridges saying $4,000 was
coming at once for strike relief.
More financial support was prom
ised from Portland and San Fran
cisco stevedores.
Employers offered a wage in
crease of IL cents an hour in an
attempt to head off the strike.
They insist stevedoreS here have

The Stevedores walked through
a peoples picket" line as they en-
tered a school building where the
balloting took place.
The $50 pickets, most of them

President Truman in Washing

SEATTLE, up - The continued
closure of coastal waters of all the

men was recommended in a report
by a special American fisheries
mission released yesterday through

ice.
The report, which followed a

dustry, further urged that "it be
made clear to the japanese that
subsidies on export Of fish or
dumping will not be tolerated."
The survey, requested by the
supreme commander for the AL

a three-man group of experts,
headed by Edward w. Allen of
Seattle, U. S. commissioner for
the international fisheries commits
sion.
They recommended the ban Of
japanese fishing in Allied coastal
waters be continued as long as
soap has control.

Credit Buying Y
Controls Removed

WASHINGTON (P)-The terms
allowed installment credit buyers
are up to the dealers today. The
government has nothing more to
say about it.
Federal reserve board authority
TO limit inStallment credit terms
expired last night at midnight.
Congress purpoSely let it lapse.
The controls, quite strict in war
time, were allowed to lapse for an
ll-month period beginning in
l947. Then Congress renewed the
law last summer.
For the past nine months the
federal reserve board has made
its controls more and more lenient
so that those expiring last night
actually were no sitter in most
respects than dealers used TO i'm
pose of their own accord in pre-
control days.

quire less than the usual one-third

Industry representatives offered
the Cordova fishermen SO cents
