Walter Measure
awaits Action

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. %
(ADC) - With the fight over oleo-
margarine taxes entering its third
week, the Senate has not passed a
single piece of legislation since Con-
yress resumed January 3. The only
'ime the upper chamber has taken
1ff from the oleo fight has been
when the Republicans blasted ad-
ninistration policies in China, the
Democrats caucused to reveal sup
'ort of our Asian program.
As Mike Masaoka, national JACL
INSTRUMENTATION Committee le-
gislative director said, however, with
the big guns firing on the hill, little
attention has been paid to a host
of less important, but significant
measures
Among these, of course, is the
Walter Resolution which would
remove race as bar to naturali-
zatiOn. II is waiting action on the
Senate calendar.
The most hopeful factor is that
Senate Majority Leader Lucas 3D.,
ILL.,, indicated recently the Senate
may call the calendar before the
end of January. Masaoka pointed
out, though, some Senator for po-
litical reasons, don't want the cal
endar up for action. Others are
hopeful it can be called especially
between debates on major bills. Ac-
lion is scheduled shortly on such
issues as DIP laws, FEPC and equal
rights for women. Any of these could
tie up the Senate for weeks, block
ing any possibility for action on
other legislation while they are
being debated Masaoka said.

flee regarding the petition for traf-
fic lights at Maynard and at Sixth
Avenue on Jackson, has been re-
ceived by the Jackson Street Com
munity Council. it was announced
today.
According to reports, these lights
must be installed in progression
with other lights already operating
which requires the use of special
cable. The delay during the last
several months has been due to
shortage of this cable which has
been on order for considerable
period of time.
Traffic Engineer JW.A. Bollong
has informed the Mayors office
that kilograms have been sent with
in the last few days to the suppliers
to determine, if possible. when the
shipment can be expected He has
stated that as soon as the cable is
received. and installation materials

The USES already is working with

cooperation on the local level be-
tween JACL leaders who will act
in an advisory capacity to local

MaSaOka pointed out that the
JACL, because 1T has a relatively
small staff, will be limited in the
work it can do with the USES, but
he said Eve will go as far as possible

.IACL Ado Backs
Move to Retain
2l-Day Rule

WASHINGTON d. c., Jan. 25
(ADCD - The JACL Anti-Discrimi-
nation Committee today Joined with
hundreds of organizations and indi-
viduals to urge Democratic and Re
publican leaders in the House of
Representative to retain the So
called 2l-day rule which was adop-
ted last winter to permit floor con-
sideration of important legislation
without prior clearance by the
House Rules Committee.
In order to retain this rule. House
Resolution 1873. introduced by Rep.
E. E, Cox Dem. Ga must be de-
feated This resolution would res
tore the power OF the House Rules
Committee to pigeonhole legislation,
a power which it enjoyed prior to
the adoption of the present 21-day
rule on the first day of the first
session last year. Under the old
rules. the only method by which the
Rules Committee could be dischar-
ged from its consideration of legis-
lation was by a petition signed by
at least 218 members, a device that
seldom worked
Under present rules, every chair
man has the right, when the Com
mittee on the Rules fails to act on
a measure within Fl days, to file
a resolution to discharge the Rules
Committee. Such resolution
needs only a majority vote of those
present to be passed.
Although the Cox Resolution to
restore the old powers to the Rules
Committee is a part of the politics
involved in the present fight over
the Presidents Fair Deal program,
Mike Masaoka. national legislative
director, pointed out that among the
measures involved are two of parti-
I tIoi IiipOL OdIlIC W OllC JAIL IAN
practices and statehood
for Hawaii. If the Cox Resolution
is adopted by the House, it means
that both of these bills will pro-
baby be pigeonholed for the session
by the Rules Committee. If the re-
solution is defeated, it means that
either or both of these measures can
be called up by their respective COM
mittee chairmen as early as this
week. Both statehood for Hawaii
and FEPC legislation we're reported
favorably by their respective COM
mittees early last year and so more
than 81 legislative days have lapsed
since the Rules Committee received
them.
To a minority group such as ours,
Masaoka said, the present 21-day
rule is essential if the type of legis-
lation we seek is to be secured. for
the Rules Committee membership is
usually made up of the more ultra
clements of the House
that are additionally opposed to
racial and religious minorities.
Moreover. it is in the best demo-
cratic traditions to permit open de-
bate and a vote on all measures that
have received the approval of the
regular standing committees of the
Congress, Masaoka said. To allow a
few men in some cases a single re-
