Guomoniuns Now Citizens
Because of your interest in and recent
editorials on behalf of Guam and other
dependencies, we call your attention to
the exclusion of Guam. American Samoa,
the trust territory of the Pacific Islands,
Indian communities and the Canal Zone
from the provisions of H. r. 1895. bill
ITO authorize Federal assistance to
States and local governments in major
disasters, and for other purposes"
H. r. 1896 would provide machinery
to render assistance to the States and
local governments in alleviating suffer-
ing and damage resulting from major
peace-time disasters and would estab-
lish a general policy of prompt emer-
gency relief action instead of waiting
until after the disaster occurs. Such
prompt, co-ordinated and effective action
Is desirable wherever the United States
exercises jurisdiction.
Disasters, Of course, strike indiScrim-
inately, without regard to boundaries.
Should typhoons strike the Pacific area,
Is relief to Hawaiians and mainlanderS
mans the intention Of H. r. 1885,? Are
blizzards to leave Indians to starye. and
freeze, while their neighboring white
brothers" receive food, medicine, shell
ter and repair of essential public facili-
ties? 1t appears that such injustices and
anomalies might occur If the bill is
enacted in its present form.
The Pacific area is particularly sub
ject to destructive typhoons AS recently
as November, 1949, the News Letter Of
the Institute of Ethnic Affairs in re-
porting on the typhoon then raging on
Guam stated: "a typhoon that reached
its height the 17th and 18th OF this
month wrought damage to civilian
homes and business estimated to total
more than $4,000. 900 on Guam" 1t can
not be argued that there is no necessity
for provision of disaster relief in this
area.
Guamanians recently have acquired
citizenship. Congressional enactment Of
a disaster relief bill excluding them from
the BENEFITS of this bill is inconsistent
with their new status. The first action
of the Guam Congress after passage
of organic legislation was to adopt
resolution asking that the limitation
upon Guamanian enlistment in the
United States armed forces be removed
in view of their new status as citizens
and in view of the present world crisis.

they match Zeckendorf's offer,

first national champion in II

Southern Methodist University

SSMU gained 90 first-place votes
among the 246 sports writer's and
broadcasters participating. The
Mustangs got 2,071 points on the
basis Of 10 for first, 8 for second,

Army collected "a first-place
