Canada Evacuation
Movie Is Due

TORONTO, Ont Canada, Feb.
Introduction of the University of
Toronto Film Society's story of the
japanese Canadian evacuation and
the subsequent resettlement will be-
gin soon with the shooting of the
first scenes. Most of the plans for
the filming were made known this
week.
The story will follow fictiti-
Gus Japanese family living in Van
cOuver at the time of Pearl Har-
Dor, their entering Hastings Park,
their removal to the interior of
b. c. and their resettIement in
eastern Canada. Most of the ex-
periences of this family will be
authentic in that they will be ta-
ken from factual experiences.
Graham Ferguson, second-year u.
T. student, author of the script who
will also direct the project, has COM
pleted the writing. His script calls
for at least seven speaking parts,
five of which will be the members
of the family around whom the story
is to be based. Although the cast has
not been announced, it is believed
that some Nisei have already been
invited to take part.
All the filming will be taken in
and around Toronto, Bob Mckenzie,
who is in charge of the sets, an
nounced. He said that sets will be
made as authentic as possible; for
instance, he noted that the interior
town scene will be taken in Bolton,
which is town 20 miles northwest
of Toronto.
With a limited budget, Mckenzie
told The New Canadian. that any
assistance would be appreciated. At
the present, he is seeking house of
structure similar to those found
in Vancouver where they will be
able to take exterior as well as in
trior shots, and intimated they would
gratefully welcome assistance in Sc
curing the use of a home.
The completed film is expected tc
be of Commute length. Though the
purpose is mainly a project of the
film society, when it is completed
prints may be purchased, or the film
will be available from the society
Among the Nisei known to bt
assisting in the film are Frank Mo-
ritsugu and George Yamazaki, botf
u. T. students.

President Urged
ToPush Approval
OF Walter Bill

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. IL
(ADC)-After a meeting with the
White House secretariat, Mike Ma
saoka, national JACL Anti-Discri-
mination Committee legislative dir
ector said today he urged that pre-
sident Truman use his good offices
to seek Senate approval of the Wal
ter Resolution"
Masaoka said he discussed all
phases of the Walter Measure, re-
viewed the history of its progress,
and asked that the President urge
the Democratic Policy Committee in
Congress place the Walter measure
on the legislative calendar where it
can be passed in the Senate by a
majority vote. 1t already has House
approval.
Now on the consent Calendar the
bill can become law only if, when
called up, it meets no objection
from the Senate. Twice Sen. Rich
ard b. Russell d., Ga.), has OBJ
jected to it.
MaSaoka said he was treasured
that. because the Walter Resolution
is one of the Presidents general
civil rights recommendations, the
White House will lend its active sup
port to the proposed naturalization
legislation.
In addition to discussing the re-
solution, he also talked over general
civil rights bills and statehood for
Hawaii and Alaska.
He said no specific commitments
were made by the White House as
to what action it would take on the
Walter bill. but said the President
is actively urging Congressional ap-
prevail of all such legislation.

It could be simple as roses being red

The alpine climbers tied in torurouS tension
Must test each fierce edge for meaning

A gertrude that will outstare glass.

Russell Objection
Called Misfortune

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. II
(ADC)-The Washington Post today
termed an objection by Sen. Richard
B. Russell, Cd, GaD, to the Walter
Resolution a misfortune, accord
ing to the JACL nti-Discrimination
Committee. In an editorial the Post
said:
1T is a misfortune that Senator
Russell saw fit last week TO object
to Senate action on a joint resolu-
luton unanimously adopted by the
House and unanimously approved by
the Senate Judiciary Committee to
remove racial restrictions from the
privilege of becoming a naturalized
citizen of the United States. This
Resolution, which would not in any
way affect immigration, is designed
simply to permit naturalization Of
about 10000 resident aliens of jap
anese and Korean descent. Since the
immigration Act of 1924 prohibits
entry of Asiatics for permanent re-
sidence after July l of that year,
these persons must have been re-
sident in the United States for at
least 25 years, with the majority
having been here 35 years or more.
They have had a record of loyalty
and devotion in their adopted coun-
try.
Ninety percent of them had sons
in the armed services during the
war. The restriction on their natu-
ralization is an injustice to them
and an ugly expression of racism
Surely Mr.. Russells lone objection
to an act of such simple equity must
rest upon misrepresentation. We
hope that his objection will be with
drawn so that the measure can pass
the Senate by unanimous consent
