Perhaps the most consistently out
standing Nisei bowler in the Pacific
Northwest during the '48-49 season
was Kaz Yamasaki of Seattle.
Averaging in the 1905, Yamasaki
was the sparkplug of Standard Hotel
which swept through its opponents
in the Main Bowl Classic league
and later bested all league champ
ions in Main Bowl to enter the city
wide Post-Intelligencer Champions
Championship meet in Seattle Rec.
In the Champions Championship
tournament, Yamasaki's crack STAN
dard Hotel outfit bowled against
defending champion Cooks U-Drive.
Yamasaki, leading off for the Main
Bowl champions, came through with
respectable $50 series.
Yamasaki, key man in the North
west Times team which finished
third in the fast Nisei Commercial
loop also was chosen by Main Bowl
manager Fred Takagi to be one of
two men to compete in the annual
Big so" tourney. The other man
was Bill Tanaka, another excellent
bowler
During the current season, Yama-
saki again is proving himself to be
THE bowler in Main Bowl. He is
holding up Northwest Times in the
Nisei Commercial and is packing a
lot of striking punch for Seventh
Ave. Service in the Nisei Merchants.

The solution, offered in a few
frightened official quarters in
Washington. that we give up
patrolling the seas in the proxim-

is naive. It would show a weak

plotted by the Communists all

that we intend to fight Russia to
the last drop of French and

When the latest poll was called to
his attention at a press confer
ence, the President. who was in a
particularly buoyant and jocular
mood, chuckled and recalled how
low he was rated in the Gallup
poll at this same time before the
l948 election.
Exerting All His Prestige.
President Truman is, of course,
not running himself this year.
But he has chosen to participate
widely in the campaign as Presi-
dent and party leader on behalf
Of Democratic Congressional can
didates. He is. in short, trying to
make this a national election by
exerting all the prestige and infiu-
ence of the Presidency in a stump
ing campaign which opens with
his cross-country tour next month
and calls for another this fall.
It's a difficult chore he has cut
out for himself. 1t is almost a
precedent that the party in power
suffers the loss Of seats in Con-
gress in such a mid-term election
This is attributed to the fact that
the President. himself, does moi
head the ticket and is unable
therefore to translate his influence
into local contests. In such elec-
tions local issues are apt to pre-.
dominate. A Presidential election
always draws out a bigger vote
too, than mid-term Congressional
elections.
The only time in recent year!
that a party in power has gained
seats in Congress in this sort o1
contest was in the 1884 Con-
gressional elections after Franklin
D. Roosevelt had been in office two
years. His New Deal reform ant
recovery program still carried the
momentum of widespread popular
support. 1t has not happened

With Liberal Douglas of Illinois

He treated the Senate, how
ever. to a review of Mr.. Douglas
Socialist past, recalling to them
that he wrote a book, The Com
ing of a New Party, which was
dedicated to Norman Thomas.
Pursuing what seems a rather
curious notion that Time is SIM
ilarly suspect, he suggested that
book might be the reason for its
elevation of Senator Douglas as
compared to its expendable ref
erence to himself.
, Senators are invariably sensi-
tive to comparison with one an
other. Years ago a rollicking
press gallery poll about their
relative standing created an up
roar and the Senator voted worst
was sure it injured his campaign
for reelection. BY common con-
sent this seemed rather unsport-
ing and such polls have not since
been taken.
Senator Douglas is accustomed
to having his books tossed in his
teeth. If it is any comfort to
Senator Cain, it and his fighting
liberalism for years got him a

since, not even in the war years
and constitutes, so to speak. the
exception to prove the rule.
AS now envisaged. President
Truman's Congressional campaign
this year comes closer in the scope
projected for 1t to that of Wood
row Wilson in the 1918 Con-
gressional elections than anything
that has occurred since. The first
World War President was seeking
a Democratic Congress. and openly
asked 1t, to support his peace
policies. He was rebuffed and Re.
publicans captured Congress. Since
that time Presidents have beer
timid about projecting themselves
too far and too directly into
strictly Congressional elections.
Contrast to Other Years.
President Truman's plans this
year are in sharp contrast with
those OF the last off-year Con-
gressional elections, those of 1916
when Republicans recaptured
Congress for a brief. two-year in
terlude. The Presidents popu-
larity was obviously at such q
low point then-and this was
reflected in a continuous low
Gallup rating that dropped to 81
per cent Just before the election
that his party strategists kept him
completely out of the campaign
Most Democratic candidates
would not even mention his name
You would not have known that
he was President and party leader
Instead they still desperately
chanted the name Of Franklin D
Roosevelt. But nothing availed.
There is another almost unfail.
ing tradition that when the party
out Of power recaptures Congress
in a mid-term election, such al
Republicans did in 1946. it ther
goes on to win the Presidenc,
two years later. Harry Truman
broke that tradition with his sue
cessful whistle stop" campaign
in 1948. He finally had shaker
off cautious advisers who were
afraid to let him be himself. whit
tried to protect" him behine
formal and dull prepared speeches
and went back to the folksy. di'
rect type of off-the-cuff cam

Douglas fight of the precise kind
that has earned him universal
esteem.
Senator Douglas. an avowed,
practicing liberal. takes exception
to the so-called economizing Con-
gress rolling out the usual pork
barrel bill for rivers and harbors.
One wit has described the omni-
bus legislation as beauty for a
visiting citizen to watch his money
being spent in hurry.
Something For Everybody.
1t contains something for every
body. The House. loudest scream
er about spending. got 1t up to
IL billions. The Senate. which
recently tried to pass a resolution
compelling President Truman to
cut the budget. added about 500
million. Already another 430-odd
million for the Columbia Valley
basin has been added from the
floor. This brings the total to a
mere two billion.
Senator Douglas expects to drive
home from the floor the instruc-
tive political lesson imbedded IN
the 80 assorted little projects
thrown into the pot by the Sen
ate. These are scattered along
the Atlantic Coast and upper
Mississippi. Even the non-college
graduate whom Senator Cain OBJ
jects to have covering the deliber-
ations of the mighty Senate can
easily see that it makes the propo-
sition more attractive to more
Senators, especially in an election
year.
What distinguishes Senator
Douglas in these matters is that
he does not content himself with
the easy road of q holier-than-
thou speech. AS usual he has
made q painstaking study OF the
bill so that he can really debate
it on its merits. Again as usual,
he has a constructive alternative
to offer. This time it is one-half
the cost of the levees in the bill
should be borne by real property
owners who benefit from it.
Compared to Old Giants.
This good-tempered but firm in
sistence on the Senate holding a
mirror up to itself is largely what
leads Capitol veterans to compare
Senator Douglas to the old giants,
Senator Norris of Nebraska espe-
cially. Senator Douglas possesses
the same sense Of national inter-
est which marked the old sons of
the wild jackass and. won them a
press which was the despair Of the
Republican majority.
