BY YOICHI MATSUDA

Some guys fall on their face and
worship Lady Luck" as though she
were some goddess. To hear them
talk, you'd think she's The First
Lady Of the Land. But, as far as
I'm concerned, she amt no lady.
Oops hold on before you start
rolling up your sleeves to give this
insulting scounorel a sound thrash
ing to defend the honor of the wo-
man YOU love, and give a listen to
my sad side of the argument.
I'm holding as pretty straight
hand as you'll find IN any poker
game. I sit back, putting my cigar
cite and nonchalantly wait for the
other guys to drop out SO can rake
in the pot which I know belongs to
my straight hand. But, what does
lucky Paul do? He calls me 3.
So, line up my Ace, King, Queen,
Jack and Ten, and grin at him. He
sr.ns right back, spreads out full
house - and still grinning-shovels
up every penny of the pot.
A little later I pick up three aces
and I'm thinking I'm good for the
pot this time, but the dealer hands
himself 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 SO you see
what I mean? Can you blame me for
not calling that double dealing dame
/ LADY,?
Some guys like Mich will play EN-
like he's got EN- when ali he's got
is low down duece pair and scare
me out of the game SO he can rake
in the pct But, when I play EN- like
got 'em, especially when I'm hold
ing a house full of Kings and
Queens. and throw in all my blue
chips, look what that tickle witch
e. 70 me- She'll snugele Up to the
guy next to me and let him pocket
the pile with three aces and joker.
Salty Shire will understand and
sympathize with me. I don't think
that dame likes him either. I've seen
him sit through a half dozen deals
without even getting a sniffle of
the pot. Maybe Shiros more of a
gentleman than I am and he pro-
badly wouldn't dream of calling Lady
Luck any nasty names. but, I'll be
doggone if I'm going to keep my
big mouth shut.

The Sap'S Fables

That dame Is so damn mean to
me that If I'm holding four aces
and a joker, she'll invent a new
hand, just to keep me from getting
that pot. Whoever started to call
tnat tickle, embarrassing bag
Lady Luck, ought to have his head
examined. That dame is an ugly
conglomeration of Jezebel, Delilah,
Witch of the North and Sadie
Thompson.
But, on second thought, maybe
I'm doing this all wrong. Maybe, !
should treat her like a dog. You
kick a dog; she bites back. But, if
you pet her, she wags her tail After
all, wasn't she sitting right on my
lap when I wound up last session
with three extra bucks in my pocket?
Maybe, that's it. Instead of calling
her nasty names, 1 should set her
up on pedestal, beg her on my
Bonded knees to accept my humble
offering, praise her, glorify her, and
build shrine in her honor. Then -.
look out, you salties. I'm going to
make that lady wag her tail, and
you just art gonna have a chance
against me and my gal.
Glory be . Lady Luck be
praised . may all her children

Hugh B. Mitchell in the same
race, does great credit to the
politics of this state in general.
When the time comes to select
the states additional congression-
al representative (resulting from
Washington's increase in popula-
ion). we feel that Mrs. Powell
would make an outstanding choice
for the new position, and should
at least receive serious considera-
ton
The defeat of Senator Scott Lu-
cas- of Illinois, however, may be a
dark omen as far as the Walter
Resolution is concerned While
the senator's qualities of states
manship are open to speculation,
the fact remains that, as Senate
majority leader. lie was in a po-
sition of prestige which might
have speeded passage of the Wal
ter Resolution, for which he had
promised his full support. AS a
defeated candidate and Tame
duck, his influence during the
waning days of the 81st Congress
will undoubtedly suffer.
The fate of the Walter Resolu-
ton and other legislation in which
Japanese Americans have a spe-
cial interest, could be materially
affected by the new choice for ma
jority leader of the Senate.
Should it be such a man as Sc
nator Russell of Georgia, for ex-
ample, efforts to enact civil
rights legislation and other liber-
al measures might receive luke
warm treatment, if not active OPP
position. Passage and eventual
approval of the Walter Resolution,
therefore, may well depend upon
the Senate's new majority leader
as the key to the entire situation.

man Hugh B. Mitchell's victory over
Councilwoman Mrs. f. F. Powell
Senator Magunson's win assured
the Nisei continuation of support

Californians were an unhappy lot

and his idea for building himself
an empire with a facile forger's
pen.
The narrative takes up the
baron's story-in fiashback after
an unnecessary prelude which
robs it of any SUSPENSION that
night back in the 1870's when he
starts to put his bold plan into
effect. He turns up near Phoenix
at a peasants shack, with word
that the mans young orphan
ward is really the Baroness Sofia
Peralta, last lineal descendant
of the original Peralta, who was
granted all of Arizona by King
Ferdinand of Spain.
Her name is no more Peralta
than yours is, which, incidentally.
seems like a safe statement to
make, since there are no Peralta' S
listed in the Washington tele-
phone directory. Mr.. Reavis has
a masterpiece of a plan. The Gov
ernment, at the time, is recog-
nizing all Spanish land grants
and If he can make this one look
legitimate he can marry Sofia
and become the Baron of Arizona.
He starts a trail of forgery
with her birth papers and works
backward from there. First he
carves a rock to mark the Peralta
arrival in Arizona. His next stop
Evening star., 1950-06-26

is a town in Mexico, where he
plants some more papers in the
records and carves the Peralta
name on a pair of tombstones.
After this he turns up in the OBJ
scure monastery in Spain where
the original grant papers of
Ferdinand are locked up, becomes
a member of the order three
years before he can get his forg-
cry done.
With success at hand, he learns
of a copy of the same records in
a nobleman's library and must
alter that before he can make
his claim to Arizona.

which a man will go If he thinks
he can make of with something

esting stuff. Things bog down.
though. after Reavis marries
Sofia and sets himself up in style
as the Baron of Arizona.
The United States naturally
takes a dim view of this barony
in its midst and puts a forgery
expert to work. Since Mr.. Fuller
already has concluded his story
with his prologue, the substitution
of the physical action of angry
mobs for dramatic motion which
isn't there doesn't fool anyone.
Story's over, so let's go home.
This Reavis was an interesting
fellow, though. It's shame that
the Imagination which went into
his attempted putsch on Arizona
couldn't have been applied to the
account of the deed.

So now, RKO is doing the best
it can to pick up the pieces. Mad
