Another Council

Another Community Council ap-
peared about this time under the
presidency of Guido Almanzor, and
after several meetings vanished
into thin air. It's only achievement
was the making of an arrangement
with the police authorities not to
issue dance permits to any organi-
cation which was not member of
the Community Council. All these
are brought forth to show how
strong the community conscious
ness for organizations was. AS of
1941 the following organizations
were in existence in Seattle: Bur-
COS Lodge, CDA, Filipino Press
Club, Pangasinan Association,
Catholic Filipino Club, Filipino
Christian Fellowship, Filipino
Women's Club, Philippine Wom-
ems League, Sta. Maria Associa-
ton, La Union Society, Ilocos Sur
Association, the Ilocos Nortenian,
Narvacan Club, San Nicolas Bro
therhood Association, Abrenian
Club, Naguilian Club, Filipino
Alumni Association, University
Filipino Club, Filipino Tennis Club,
and few others. All these associ-
ations were represented in the
Philippine Commonwealth Coun-
Gil, which took care of the Com
monwealth celebration every year
on Nov. Is. On the other hand the
Filipino Community Club, which
was Incorporated, was just "an-
other" organization with its own
purposes and membership require
ments.

Seattle and state and city officials,

Another program and dance affair

Congressional Reception
Under the auspices of the Com
monWealth Council also, Filipinos
took part in the Seattle Congress
sional reception rendered in honor
of Vice President Jack Garner and
his party of congressman who were
on their way to attend the formal
inauguration of President Quezon
as first President of the Philippines.
Representing the Filipino commu-
nifty, Victoria Acosta Velasco, then
editor of the philippine Advo-
cate" delivered short talk at
the program held at Pier Al well
coming the Garner party and as
surfing the American people of the
gratitude of the Filipinos for their
humanitarian work as colonial ad-
ministrator in the Philippines. Bou-
quets were given the wives of the
congressman in the party in behalf
of the Filipino community.
First Community 4th of July Float
Because the Fourth of July cele-
bration is also a national holiday
in the Philippines, Alex Elizarde
sponsored Filipino participation
in the Seattle Fourth of July cele-
bration in 1888. This was success
full with the entry of a Filipino
float. This success gave rise to an
organization then known as the
Filipino Community Club, with
Elizarde as founder and first presi-
dent. The Filipino Community
Club was incorporated. It should
not be confused with the Seattle
Philippine Commonwealth Coun-
Gil, which is only committee of
the various Filipino organizations
of the whole Filipino community
created for one specific purpose:
the celebration of Philippine Com
monWealth Day.

D. {. Heads Cancel
Decision on Detective
As Barrett Cites Law

The Commissioners have can
celed their approval of a District
License Board recommendation
for issuance of detective agency
license to Frederick G. Pence,
pending further consideration.
Last week the city heads went
along with the boards suggestion
that the license be issued, despite
disapproval of Police Supt. Rob-
ert j. Barrett.
Maj. Barrett now has written
the Commissioners saying he
could find no legal provision for
a hearing by the License Board
on disapproval recommendations
for private detectives.
No Appeal Under Act.
He said private detectives IL
cense, as provided for in the Lii
cense Act, is one of six where no
appeal to the Commissioners Is
provided, if it is not approved by
the police superintendent.
II do not see how the case
ached the Commissioners
through the License Board" he
wrote. "It would seem that the
only legal way for the reversal of
the case would be by the courts" "
Poolroom Action Stands.
The Commissioners failed to
hold up another decision of last

License Board recommendation to
let the billiard parlor license of

1t was in this poolroom that
Joseph H. big Joe" Sheve was

Maj. Barrett, in a memorandum
on this case, said information
from members of No. / Precinct
indicates the billiard parlor has
attracted a type of person detri-
mental to the neighborhood. He
said many complaints have come
in about the establishment.

New 'Supportive' Treatments
Used in Fiqht to Save Carey Girl

Doctors at the Washington San
itarium are using new methods
of "supportive" care to help g.
year-old Patricia Ann Carey in
her fight for life.
Patricia, daughter of James B.
! Carey, secretary treasurer of the
CIO. has been unconscious since
January 5, when she was struck by
an automobile and critically in
jured. She is suffering from a
skull fracture and decorations to
the brain but is expected to re-
cover.
Much of her treatment, doctors
said, has consisted of "supportive
measures" which, used to help
seriously ill patients maintain
body functions as near normal as
possible and have lowered death
rates in many types of illness.
The last few years have seen great
advances in knowledge of such
treatment.

Church Urged TO Rush

The Christian church never has
met with such an opportunity "in
500 years. as it now is meeting
in Japan, according to Paul
Rusch, executive vice president of
the Brotherhood of ST. Andrew
in Japan and formerly lieuten-
I ant colonel on Gen. Macarthur
Intelligence staff.
He spoke last night in the
parish hall of st. Johns Episcopal
Church, Lafayette Square, in the
course of lecture tour encom-
passing SO States, after which
he will return to Japan.
Ripe for Harvest.
Where they have sent one mis-
sionary, now let them send 100,"
he urged. And let them lay plans
big enough for this task" because
!. never have 80,00O,000 people been
80 ripe unto the harvest"
i Mr.. Rusch pointed to a state
ment he said was attributed to
Gen. Macarthur. The speaker
said the general declared: Japan
is a spiritual weapon. If you do
not fill it with Christianity. 1t will
be filled with communism"
I'VE Americans sometimes
overlook the Importance of youth
work in Japan" the speaker con-
tinued. But the Communists
never do. In Hokkaido, for ex-
ample. the Communists say: IF
you keep CO operating wiCh
Americans, we will remember you.

8 much closer we are to Russia. !"
. Rural Youth Target.
Mr.. RuSch declared that per-
{ haps the greatest field earmarked
by the Communits for conversion
to their theology is the youth of
rural Japan. Between one-half
and three-quarters of the Japa-
/ nese population can be found
among the farmers and fisher
men in the areas outside the
. cities and towns, and Communist
strategy seems to capture these
people," he warned.
IF they do. we Americans, to-
gether with the japanese who
have come to share our way of
life. will have lost the peace" the
speaker contended.
Mr.. Rusch's lecture tour is to
gain support for the Kiyosato

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. - IR = Three nights of freezing tempera- lures in the Salt River valley of Arizona have resulted in an esti- mated $5,000000 citrus crop loss.
 Byron J. Showers, manager of the Grapefruit Administrative Commit tee, made the estimate of damage to a crop the growers had expected would be the best in recent years.
 It is now doubtful if more than 100000 boxes of grapefruit and 100000 boxes of oranges will be salvaged for fresh fruit consump- tion, Showers said.
 Temperatures dropped in sections of the Salt River valley to as low as 13 degrees.

TAIPEH, Formosa, Jan. 6-tR- President Trumans hands off For mosa statement ripped to shreds a big balloon of hopes clown up by Chinese Nationalist news predic- tions of American intervention here.
 All senior Nationalist officials re- fused comment on the Presidents statement. One confided:
 'The matter is very delicate. We do not like to criticize the head of a friendly state"
 Among officials who took the no comment line were advisers to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Also silent were Princeton educated Governor w. c. Wu, Foreign Min ister George Yeh, and Gen. Chen Cheng, Southeast China military commander. and a graduate of Virginia Military Institute.
 But there was no mistaking MT Truman's statement caused concern and dismay.
 It left them with the sad reali- sation they can count only on Themselves to hold Formosa.

 Diplomatic officials said the word had gone out to Americans to leave the Chinese Nationalist stronghold unless they had important business there.
 A general warning to evacuate was avoided, authorities said, lest it weaken Generalissirno Chiang Kai-shek's precarious hold on the island. Chiang reportedly faces grave threat of internal revolution on Formosa, as well as a possible Communist attack.
 The possibility of an uprising may nave played an important part Tn the decision announced yesterday by President Truman not to send any military help or advice to Chiang at this time.
 MT. Truman's announcement brought near-solid wave of angry comment from Congressional Re- publicans. They promised not to give up the fight for aid to For mosa.
