JACL ADCS Goal for This Year Still
Is Passage of Judd's Legislation And
Walter Resolution for Issei Rights

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan
tADC) - The Walter Resolution
and the Judd Bill still top the list
of legislation which the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee will seek
to have enacted into law during the
second session of the 8lst Congress
The session began yesterday lTues-
day. Jan 81.
Mike Masaoka. national JACI,
Ado legislative director. said the
program has met with the complete
accord of the National JACL legisla-
tive Committee, and Board chapter
presidents. regional representatives
nd local Ado chairmen.
The Walter Resolution. which
passed the House in June and now
is pending in the Senate, provides
that the right of naturalization
shall not be denied any person
because of race Present legislation
prohibits naturalization of all ORR
entails except Indians, Chinese and
Filipinos.
Chances for passage of the Reso-
luton are considered highly favor
able.
Masaoka pointed out. however
that the judd bill, which provides
both for naturalization and limited
immigration from all ASiatie coun-
tries, still is being pushed by the
ADO. This bill passed the House by
the overwhelming vote of 1886 to 80
on March l, l949 but since has been
under study of a Special Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee Investigating Immigration
and Naturalization.
If the Walter Resolution should
become law before the Judd bill
Masaoka said the ADO then will seek
legislation which. by itself. would
permit limited immigration from all
Asiatic and Pacific nations and pro-
vide further for non-quota immi-
grafton for alien spouses. parents
and children of American citizens
from those areas.
Other legislation listed by the
Ado which will be pushed, and its
present status, includes:
Adequate appropriations for the
administration of the Evacuation
Claims program, and an increase
in funds to facilitate the payment
of awards. This must he drafted
and introduced by the Department
of Justice as part of its general

Masaoka Views Possibility of Removing
Racial Discrimination from Nations
Naturalization and Immigration Law

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan.
tADC) - With the support of all
interested parties, and with a rea-
Sonable amount of luck, 1850 will
see the end of the 100 year old racial
discrimination policies in our fed
{. al natm alization laws"
This is the way Mike Masaoka,
national JACL Ado legislative di-
rector, today viewed the possibility
of passage of the Walter Resolu-
ton, which would remove race as
bar TO naturalization, during the
ser ond session of the Eighty first
Congress. II began Tuesday, Jan. 3.
He pointed out that never before
in this country's history has any
legislation eliminating legal discri-
mination against persons of Japan
csc ancestry been before the Senate
after having passed the House such
as the Walter measure is.
The resolution passed the House
unanimously June 6. 1949. 1t failed
to become law in the closing days of
the first session on the lone objec-
ton of Senator Russell, CD Georgia
Discussing the resolution and other
measures in which the Ado is in
terested, Masaoka said the forth
coming Congressional session will be
political in every sense of the word.
This means that actions will be
determined more by their probable
effect on the next elections than
any other consideration"
As he said, 1850 is an election
year, and Crucial since it may
point to trends affecting the 1852
presidential elections.

On FEPC

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
Senate is listlessly killing time in
a sham battle on whether it
should consider at this time the
measure to establish fair employ
ment practices.
Apathy prevailed throughout the
first day last week Of debate, as
no new arguments either for, or
against, the bill could be present
ed. Everything thata he said both
pro and con on this measure has
already been said many times be-
fore, and even the fiery Sen. Rus
sell of Georgia seemed to be un-
abb to get up enough steam to
hold his audience.
Because of the lack of new fuel
to spice his argument, Sen. Rus
sell often found himself speaking
to a practically emplt chamber,
with onl ytwo or three senators
on the floor.
Sen. Taft in Favor of Retiring
Bill
When Sen. Robert A. Taft (R,
Ohio) served notice that he would
try to have the Senate lay aside
the FEPC consideration later ir
the week to bring up a resolution
to veto President Truman's bill tx
abolish the office of general coun
sci in the National Labor Relat
ions board, Sen. Lucas let it bt
known that he would "resist" an!
efforst to stampede the Senate
into laying aside FEPC.
Unless the Presidents reorgani
cation plan is rejected by Ma.
% either by the House of Senate
it will automatically become law
Therefore the reorganization
plans are ''highly privileged" mat
tiers which a be brought up an.
time by majority vote.
The Southerners have announc
ed their plans to call up other re
solutions rejecting the reorganiza
ton plans.

ously announced that he would lie

# YOU HAVE BURNING TO DO

TO DO-
 Spring is erriving ahead of sche- iule this yeer. Honest eeders farm prs, summer home owners and others lying out of town are urged by Roger B R.Robinson, Regional Forester for the Bureau of Land Managoment, to burn off the old dry grass on thoir Fields and around their buildings soon after the snow disappears from the clearings while it is still com- paratively safe to burn. Green grass
 soon grows up forming a safety zone
 around buildings and homes.
 Farmer rs and honest eoders expecting
 to clear land should burn the grass
 and light debris around the aroas
 where there are heavy conc entrations
 of clearing debris Whi oh they expect
 to burn later when conditions are favorable. Each year number of debris burning fires escape from
 land clearing operati ons and do con- siderable damage. If burning is not dono prior to April 20, burning
 cond nditions will no longer be safe, and the advice of the resident fl re
 ing is dono.
 The llaske Fire Control Act of l949 plac cd Q reator respons ibility on private land owners in the proper of clearing end other fires Istartod by thom in making it mis- demeanor to leave a fire unatt ended dur ing fire season on either private Tor public land.

Slow Approach Advisable

The Commissioners difficulties in recruiting
members for the Metropolitan Police Reserve
Corps suggest the need for "go slow" policy on
further civil defense ventures of police or
guard-force nature. AS originally announced, the
auxiliary police force was to be built up to
strength of between 1000 and 5000 men. But
despite much publicity on the plan and efforts
by the Police Department, only about 400 appG-
cations for the corps have been received. Many
of the applicants have been rejected for various
reasons. So Major Barrett has prevailed on the
Commissioners to relax age and height require
mentS for the reserve recruits.
Meanwhile the Commissioners also have
given their approval to plans for civil defense
home guard, the duties of which in many re-
spects would parallel or actually overlap those
of the Police Reserve Corps. More than 300 men,
berS of the guard outfit would be sought in a
special recruiting campaign. This would mean
competition between the two organizations for
scarce supply of qualified personnel. Apparently
little or no thought was given to this problem
when the two programs were indorsed at the
District Building. But somebody should review
the plans for these special civil defense units,

This and That
BY Charles E. TroceweH

The last meal, with such persons, is
very light one.
They prefer the main meal in the mid
die of the day, system for which there
is much to be said, since it brings the
hardest work of the digestion long before
the hours of sleep.
Especially those persons on a pureed
diet find that vegetables for breakfast
is not such bad idea
After all, there is neither God-given
edict, or governmental edict, about our
meals. (Not YETI
We can still eat as we please.
The idea of balanced diet has been
promulgated for years, not only by many
unofficial lay figures including both ex-
perimenters as we'll as DOCTORS but also
by our Government, which during the
war issued its famous categories of diff
ferent food values.
The idea is to get into the diet, during
complete day. the various essentials.
So long as this is done, so long as
one gets proper share Of proteins. min
erals. vitamins. along with enough bulk,
the differentiation into meals is not of
too great Importance.
With one exception, that is
The modern idea is that too few people
eat an adequate breakfast.

One great insurance company has gone
so far as to advocate 1000 calories at
breakfast for the average man of usual
activity.
That is pretty big breakfast, prob
ably too large for the average desk
worker.
A good breakfast of 400 to 500 calories
is much larger than many persons con-
sumo.
If it is popped" up with a piece of
candy, why not?
Perhaps this whole subject of what one
eats, and when, needs some revision.
There is a new book on the study of
starvation, as result of the war, in
which it is shown that human beings
have greater tolerance in this respect
than is generally believed.
1t was noticeable that in photographs
that came out of Europe Immediately
after the war most of the subjects
seemed in the best of health, with bright
eyes and thick glossy hair.
Perhaps Americans do not need some
Of the food they eat, but If they insist
on eating it., anyway. they ought to be
permitted to eat 1t as they please.
That, as matter Of fact, is just what
they do.

Candy for Breakfast" is the name of
new book, satire on modern educa
ton, but if it were just question 1t
might be answered as follows:
Why not?
Candy is food, and in moderation,
good food.
AS dessert for breakfast it might 60
quite as we'll as after dinner.
We are all so in thraI to the three
meals-a-day idea that we have set up
hard and fast ideas as to what goes with
each meal
Breakfast is more Or less standard
affair, but now and then some one says
he eats vegetables at the first meal of
the day.
Pie for breakfast was an old New Eng
land idea.
Here again. one might ask, why not?"
Persons who are supposed to get plenty
of vegetables often find it difficult to get
in as much as the doctor orders.
He says, Eat more vegetables" and
that seems easy enough until one starts
to eat them.
The trouble is. of course, that one
simply does not like vegetables.
1t is easy to beg off. for supper, at
least, if one prefers to call the last meal
suppeg, as many do. =

InequitobIe and Unnecessary

While the desire of nearby Maryland and
Virginia communities for more representation on
the proposed National Capital Planning Com
mission is understandable the Virginia request
that every political subdivision in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area be represented would carry
the idea too far. If the suggestion of the North
ern Virginia Regional Planning Commission were
to be adopted, Virginia would be entitled to five
members on the new agency, as against Mary
lands two members and the Districts one.
There would be no equity in such an arrange
ment, no matter how votes were apportioned
1t is not necessary that Arlington or Fairfax
or Falls Church or Alexandria be represented
separately on the commission in order to
assure them of proper attention. Each of these
has representatives the Northern Virginia
Planning Commission, representative of which
would be the Virginia member of the National
Capital Planning Commission, under an amend
ment advocated by the sponsors of the proposed
legislation. Similarly Maryland's member of
the overall agency would be drawn from the
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning
Commission In this way all of the region within
the scope of the enlarged commission would be
represented, in effect.
Furthermore, another amendment Endorsed
by the National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission would require consultation with local gov
ernmental authorities in all planning matters
involving territory under their jurisdiction. Thus
all local communities would be guaranteed
chance to make their views known to the COM
mission before final decisions are made. Perhaps
the bill can be further improved as to provide
for more effective participation by local COM
munities in the planning of the Capital. But
some limit must be placed on the size of the
commission lest it become so unwieldy as to i'm
peril efficient operation of the vital agency.

No Bigger Than the Threat

Congress should lose no time In acting
favoraby on the Presidents emergency request
for supplemental defense funds. The world
crisis is too dangerous for foot-dragging. We
cannot afford the luxury of vacillation, penny
pinching or delay Instead, we must govern
ourselves in keeping with the stark, central fact
of this day and age-the fact that unless we
build up our military strength as fast and as
thoroughly as possible, we shall be flirting with
national suicide.
Besides urging an additional $1,O5O 100000
for a greatly expanded atomic program, the
President has asked Congress to raise $168 billion
more for the Defense Department. The latter
sunl-taken together with funds already appro-
priated-makeS total of $418 billion to be spent
on our armed forces during the current fiscal
year. This is unprecedented in our peacetime
history, but the mounting menace of world
wide Communist aggression urgently presses it
upon us as burden we must bear if we are to
be even half safe
The sum of $41.8 billion does not mean that
we are going on a full war budget. AS the
President has said, such budget would require
far more money Nevertheless, the expenditures
contemplated wholly apart from the sharply
increased atomic outlay-are big enough to in
dicate that their impact our economy will
be marked What they portend among other
things, is heavier taxation, cutbackS in civilian
production and other strains and stresses in
cident to rapid jump in the output of planes,
tanks, guns, ETC., and to the expansion of our
armed forces. Prior to Red China's aggression
in Korea, the goal had been to have $4,000
men and women in those forces by the end of
fiscal 1851, but now the figure has gone up.
In his message requesting the additional
funds, the President has not raised any false
hopes. He has merely said that can level
off militarily if the situation improves and that
we can move speedily into greater mobilization in
case it grows worse. Actually, as he himself
has implied, what he has asked for may prove
to be much less than enough. In any event. it
certainly looks far from excessive when meas
ured against the magnitude of the threat now
hanging over this Nation and the entire free
world. Congress must act accordingly.
