Toledo people who lined the
parade route will testify, it
was a beautiful day for a
parade. Cool, almost brisk.
1t made us step more lively
to the tunes of the many
wonderful bands that dotted
the long line of marching
workers, beautiful floats and
gay, frolicking children.
Nature was kind to us.
The sun playfully played

CERTAINLY the performance of this
~ group of dixiecrat, reactionary demo-
crat and Old Guard republican senators
should come as a surprise to no one. They
are acting true to form. Senators TX
George and Byrd of Georgia and Virginia
respectively have been bitter opponents of
new DEAF and fair deal" legislation
since the dark days of the 1880 depression
years. And the others in this group are
the same. But to us in Ohio, with an cleo
ton facing us this fall, it is of special con-
Germ to highlight the activities of Sen.
Taft who Is up for reelection to the us.
Senate. Taft is being praised by the So
called public press" as an liable" sena-
tor; as a "man with brains" and strong
convictions"
We do not deny that Mr.. Taft is sable"
More, we agree that he has brains and is
a person with strong convictions"
Certainly his performance in the Sem
ate proves that.
Mr.. Taft is working with zeal to pro-
tect the interests of the wealthy at the ex-
pense of the common people. Mr.. Taft,
as always, is out to take good care Of his
Big Business buddies by making it posi-
Bile for them to save for themselves mil
lions of dollars in taxes, while he levies
the real burden of taxation on the shout
ders of the lower income groups, espe-
cially the working people.
Frankly, we are of the opinion that
this type Of ability" this kind of brains
and convictions the common people of
Ohio-and America-can well do without.
In other words, Mr.. Taft - along with
people who think and act like him against
the basic interests of our people should
be eliminated from the US. Senate.
For a US. Senator should represent
the welfare and interests of ALL AMERI-
CANS and not just the wealthy few. Taft
and his cohorts only represent Big Busi-
ness.

THE NEW TAX LAW, brought about by
Il the impact of the Korean situation
and its attendant preparedness drive, is
intended to raise something like five bill
lion dollars annually in new taxes to help
pay for new military expenditures. 1t was
obvious from the beginning that every
one would have to pay higher taxes. But
it seemed to us that these increases in
taxes would be levied on all strata of our
population, including the excessive earn
ings of our wealthy citizens.
Unfortunately, such is not the case.
For while the withholding tax will GER
tainly tax the income of our workers and
lower income groups, the new law - ac-
cording to Mr.. Pearson - leaves such
loopholes for those in the high income
brackets, that millions of dollars of what
should be tax money for Uncle Sam will
be retained in the pockets of these wealthy
citizens.
at is no exaggeration to state that i'm
the form adopted by the Senate Finance
Committee" declared Mr.. Pearson, "the
tax bill would permit enough money to slip
through loopholes to finance a large part
of the Korean War. Ironically, ii is the
same senator's, who profess a belief in
saving federal money, who are most will
ing to let tax millions slip through these
loopholes."
Mr.. Pearson names the senators most
responsible for this tax-steal.
The principal senators, who as men,
bers of the finance committee were sup
pose to tighten the tax loopholes, but
didn't, are Democrats Walter George of
Georgia, Harry Byrd of Virginia, Ed john
son of Colorado and Robert Kerr of Okla
homa; plus Republicans Eugene Millikin
of Colorado, Robert Taft of Ohio, Hugh
Butler of Nebraska, Owen Brewster of
Maine and Ed Martin of Pennsylvania"

they were released from the reloca-

because the japanese students are
diligent and do we'll in academic
work and are also eager to cooperate
in school activities.
At Seabrook, New Jersey, there are
some 900 Japanese employed by the
Seabrook Farm Company where fro
zen and canned goods are produced.
Early in 1915. some 5000 japanese
evacuees were brought to this little
canning town where they were given
work and living quarters Since after
the war some 1000. mostly older
Japanese, have returned to the west
At this company some Nisei hold
responsible positions such as that of
laboratory technicians. AS part of
the welfare project of the company
English classes are held for Japan

Scholarships are available to Jap

Concentrate In Chicago

In Chicago, there are now 10000
japanese of whom three-fo urths are
Nisei. Before the war, there were
only 600 japanese in the city. AS
early in 1913, the Japanese evacuees
in Utah, Arizona and Idaho we're
brought to the city as a result of
pressure forced on the federal gov
eminent by religious bodies in Wa
shington. The War Relocation Auth
GRITTY with the cooperation OF rell-
gious and welfare agencies found
jobs for the japanese. Chicago was
the first city in the United States,
which started accepting the Japan
csc during the war
The First Baptist Church in Chi
cago which is the second oldest
church in the city was the first
American church which invited a
Nisei minister. Rev. Jitsuo MorikaWa
who was first invited as assistant
minister is now in full charge of the
church which has 800 members in
Guiding Americans. Nisei and Neg
roes.
The fact that he was invited by
the church a week after the report
on the Death March of Bataan" APP
peared in papers in 1914 shows how
broadminded the Christians were
and that before God there was no
racial prejudice.
Eager to Improve
As to Nisei. Rev. Morikawa said
that the Nisei are very ambitious
and eager to improve their status
They are also sensitive as to their
rights. but they are so pre-occupied
with themselves that they are indlf-
fcrent to the welfare of other minor
tiles. To become full-fledged Ameri-
can citizens the Nisei must become
aware of their social responsibilities

The feeling of Nlsei toward Japan

Congress Amends
Trading Act

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. 80
(ADCo - Congress has amended the
Trading with the Enemy Act to per-
NIT the return of vested property to
Americans with dual citizenship and
American women who may have lost
citizenship by marriage, but subse-
quently regained it, according to the
JACL Discrimination Commit
tee.
The amendment was supported
by the ADO TO assist a number Of
dual nationals" of Japanese an
ccstry. especially in Hawaii, who
had property vested by the Alien
Property Custodian after the out
break of war with Japan, obtain
the return of their property.
Mike Masaoka national JACL
Ado legislative director, pointed out
the new amendment permits the i'm
mediate return of vested property
up to a total value OF $4,000, 900.
Masaoka said the amendment is
applicable only to persons who pos
sessed American citizenship at all
times since December 7. 194t. "des-
pite concurrent enemy citizenship.
or despite residence in enemy terri
tory
The amendment does not apply
to lssei or other enemy citizens,
or foreign nationals residing In
enemy territory during the war.
The necessity of The amendment
became apparent when. in 1913. the
Director of the Office Of Alien Pro
pertv ruled that American dual nat
ionals who resided in enemy terri
tory during the war were prohibited
from applying for return Of vested
property.
THE effect of this decision" Ma
saoka said. was to disregard the

The present amendment, he con-

Confusion Reigns in the Nations Capitol
After House, By a Whopping Majority,
Votes to Override Vetoed Walter Bill

by Sen. McCarran and those SYM
pathetic to his ideas, the House
promptly overrode the veto.
In the Senate, McCarran had at
his command the privilege of calling
up the resolution veto any time he
needed a show of strength to indi-
cate a probable vote If the President
vetoed the McCarran Subversive bill
as he later did.
He never needed to use this wea-
pom.
Thus, when on Friday Sen. Nc
Carran again announced he would
bring up the resolution veto in the
Senate, il seemed obvious only an
unexpected source of pressure
could get the naturalization mea-
sure up for an independent vote and
out of the fight on the Subversive
bill.
But Nevada's senior senator is as
immune to pressure, because Of his
seniority and position in the Senate,
as water is incompressible.
There was, however, considerable
effort to have Senate Majority Lead
err Lucas try and force Sen. McCar-
ran to bring up the veto.
Late Friday, Sen McCarran fin
ally promised friends in the Sem
ate and House he would bring up
the resolution veto message before
Congress adjourned.
IT was expected, Of course, II he
brought up the veto 1t would be to
seek vote. He finally did bring it
UP, immediately after the Senate
had voted to override the Presidents
veto on the Subversive bill, and less
than two hours before Congress adj
journed
But the manner in which he
brought it up came as complete
and astounding surprise.
He advised Sen. Lucas that as the
security provisions of the resolution
were the same as some security pro-
visions contained in the Subversive
bill. there was no reason to oppose
the President on his veto of the Wal
ter Resolution.
Naturalization. Sen. McCarran
insisted, was a completely separate
matter. Thus. he promised to in
troduce a new bill in November
when Congress reconvenes, simply
to remove race in naturalization.
Although now the senator argued
naturalization was completely separ-
ate from security. it was his earlier
argument that because the two were
inseparable, the security provisions
were added to the original measure.
In a sense. of course, Sen. Nc
Carran did live up to his promise to
bring the veto message before the
Senate.
In all, it was a hectic week in
Congress for the hopes of 10000
persons of Japanese ancestry in the
United States and Hawaii.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept 80
(ADCl - Few weeks in the history
of the ADO in Washington have been
as confused as the week of the Con-
gressional session just ended.
The confusion of the times be-
gan within hours after the House,
by whopping majority, voted to
override the Presidents veto of the
Walter Resolution.
We got word that the Senate was
planning to vote the first thing the
following morning on the veto mes
sage" Mike Masaoka, national JACL
ADO legislative director, said.
That meant we had to go to work
Immediately to advise our friends in
both the House and Senate of the
impending vote"
The vote, however, did not come
up that day-nor the next. How
ever, on both days, the secretary
of the Senate majority leader, and
the Democratic clOakroom, had
been alerted for vote on the veto
message.
On Wednesday last, Sen. Pat Nc
Carran 3D.. New, chairman of the
Senate conferees who worked with
House conference committee to draft
the Walter Resolution in a form
which finally proved unacceptable
to the President, served notice he
would bring the veto up for consi-
Iteration sometime that day.
Butt did not come up.
Thursday morning, Sen. McCarran
announced definitely the measure
would be brought up for a vote early
in the afternoon.
It did not come UP.
Meanwhile. 1t was becoming in
crcasingly apparent the veto was
being used as small, but effective,
behind the-scenes lever to help
push action on the McCarran Sub
vcrsive bill.
The end result showed that it was
a sacrifice to the forces that sought
to make the McCarran Subversive
bill law.
For example. security provisions
added to it were completely in line
with the security provisions later
Incorporated in the McCarran Sub
versive DILL
As an indication of his opinion of
