Patterson Rates Chance
OF Red Attack at $3.50
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Robert
P. Patterson. former Secretary of
War, said last night there is at
least a $3.50 chance that Russia
will strike an all-out blow against
the West in 1851.
Mr.. Patterson criticized the ad-
vice of Americans who would
withdraw United States forces to
our own shores as "the counsel
of discouragement, despair and
defeat"
In contrast to former President
Herbert Hoover, who last night
urged a policy of hemisphere de-
fense with outposts in Britain and
Japan, Mr.. Patterson said:
This is no time to withdraw
our forces to our own shores. {.
We will. I trust. do everything in
our power to strengthen by men
and weapons the armed forces in
Europe under Gen. Eisenhower
and the armed forces in the Far
East under Gen. Macarthur"

legal marriage? They've been pom
dering that question for years and
still haven't come up with a final
answer And as regards servicemen
in Japan, that's really toughie.
Uncle Sam. being a rather finicky
old man, authorized very few mar
riages between GIs and japanese
So, like lot of young fellows here
at home, not few GIs simply 'elo-
ped, married their Japanese sweet
hearts in religious or other type
ceremonies, without benefit of Uncle
Sans blessing, and now insist these
girls are their legal wives.
Are theyP
The JACL ADO cannot answer
that question. Nor, as matter of
fact, can the service. Much depends
upon the exact type of marriage that
took place.
The best way for a CT to find out,
Masaoka said, is to fill out an Immi-
grafton and Naturalization Service
Form I-l33, for the admission of a
spouse of an American citizen, and
let the Service itself rule on each
such marriage.
In fact, Masaoka urged both SER
vicemen and veterans who have
wives in Japan, regardless of what
doubts they may have about the type
of marriage ceremony they were
united by, to apply for admission of
their spouSeS.
The more inquiries the service
receives, the more the service and
the ADO will be in a position to in
troduce whatever amendments might
be necessary to the Soldier Brides
bill next year to correct obscure sec
tons of the present law" Masaoka
said.
And finally, Masaoka suggested
that where the admission Of a wife
may be in doubt because of techni-
cal or legal problems, a good private
immigration lawyer might be of con-
siderable value.
He also reminded GIs that if they
are unable to bring in wives under
the Soldier Brides Bill, when Con-
gress reconvenes next January pri-
vate bills for their admission then
can be introduced.

Since the passage of the Soldier

flooded with inquiries about the law
and personal appeals from service
men and veterans, both Nisei and
caucasian, to help them find some
way TO take advantage of law Civ

been there several years-to marry
and bring home their wives or FAM

But the bill has its complications.
Today, Mike Masaoka, national
JACL ADO legislative director, called
on Argyle Mackey, acting commits
sioner, and Paul Winnings, general
counsel, immigration and Naturali-
zation Service, to lay at their door,
step some of the problems the JACL
ADO Washington office cannot an

For example, MaSaoka asked what
could be done about several GIs, in
iured in combat in Korea, and now
in Walter Reed Hospital in Wash

He asked if anything could be done

was, as far as the immigration and
