WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 20
hDCD-Congress today was urged
to restore the original Evacuation
Claims budget for fiscal 1851 after
the House Appropriation Committee
had reduced the proposed funds
from 1904 300 to a flat $4,000,000.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL

to lis Representatives including
members of the House Appropria-
tons Committee, House majority
and minority leadership, and Repre-
sentatives from districts where there

personal, business and other intes-
ests, leaving the cyacuces victims
of INSCRIPTIONS buyers, or their
property to the wanton destruction
of vandals, or the ravages of time.
AS evidenced in hearings on the
Evacuation Claims Act, Congress was
motivated to pass it in no small
measure by the magnificent war re-
cord OF the $4,000 persons of Japan

ed forces. For example, the all-Nisei
442nd Regimental Combat Team
scored one of the most glorious COM
bat records of any fighting outfit
in this nations entire history.
THE Evacuation Claims Act was
remedial legislation which, at that
time, was described as Simple JUS

in our country is entitled TO re-

learned today
The proposed cut is in line with
other So-called economy whacks
Congress is taking at the Presidents
omnibus appropriations request.
As reported out by the Appro-
priations Committee, the omnibus
bill reduces overall Evacuation
Claims funds from S5,S4O,OO0 to a
flat S4,O0O,OOO.
The original Justice Department
budget request to Congress sought
$5.0O0,00 to pay claims and 1904 900
to administer the program. The cur
rent omnibus bill. which came before
the House last Monday for debate,
specifies only $25O,OO0 out of total
100000 allocated may be used as
administrative funds.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director, said the
budget slash will seriously impair
the entire Evacuation Claims pro-
gram. 1t could result in delaying
connection of the program for years
Presently, the most essential
part of the program is the fund
allocated for administrative ex-
penses. The big job facing Justice
is doing the voluminous work and
research necessary to adjudicate
individually the $4,000 claims on
file.
THE longer this takes, the
slower the whole program will
move.
Even the original 100000 in
administrative funds sought by the
Justice Department was felt to be
far inadequate. Unless the admi-
nistrative funds, at least, are re-
stored, the evacuation claims pro-
gram will suffer serious setback
during the next year. he said.
The request for administrative
funds was drafted months ago when
the total claims ON file numbered
less than 10000 To insure at least
a semblance of speed, in other words.
a program that could be completed
in the next few years, administrative
funds of $4,000 for the next fiscal
year would not be out of line"
Masaoka said the JACL ADO will
make every effort to have the origi-
nal claims funds restored, either in
the House or Senate.
81 am sure many Congressman
who voted for the Evacuation
Claims Act in good faith two years
ago do not realize how seriously
the budget cuts will hamper the
very program Congress set up. If
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1950-03-29
they realize that present economy
measures could drag out payments

they realize that present economy
measures could drag out payments
for years, and cost extra thousands
of dollars because of the sheer
time involved, l believe they will
insist on restoring the Evacuation
Claims funds"
He said the cut from $5,000,000 to
SO, 100000 for actual payments, while
serious is not critical Unless claims
are adjudicated, they cannot be paid.
Our immediate concern is to speed
the process of adjudication. To do
that. Congress must give Justice the
funds with which to operate
He said that once adjudication is
complete, a single Congressional APP
preparation could cover payments of
all unpaid claims under $500.
Claim over that amount are paid
directly by Congress.

In expression of appreciation for

on the occasion of the dedication of
the street lighting system. the fol-
lowing letter was received from Mrs.
F F. Powell. City Councilwoman.

son Street Community Council my
very deep appreciation for their
kindness in giving me. as a repre-
sentative of the City Council. a

Generalization were also received
from N. p Dotson. Jr.. Executive
Secretary of the Urban League, in
which he stated that the new street
lighting is "a sort Of monument to
the work which the Jackson Street
Community Council has so well
done
A number of phone calls from
various individuals since the dedica-
ton program have expressed concern
that some of the lights which have
been placed ON poles are not yet
lighted. The explanation for this Is
that each light must be hooked up
individually and those on wooden
poles must be done by City Light.
Crews are working on this as fast
as they can and will complete the
work within the next week or ten
days.

Locally, attorneys minimize the
Nasaoka ruling in pointing out that
the legal effect of the Masaoka de-
cision is binding on that case only
unless reversed upon appeal 1t is
valid only in the jurisdiction of
Judge Thurman Clarke's court, the
Superior Court of Los Angeles.
1t was pointed out, however, that
it does have a favorable psychology
cal effect in an appeal to the higher
courts.
Attorneys declared that the
value of the MasaOka decision
would be lost unless the California
attorney general takes an appeal
to the district court of appeal.
Attorney Guy C. Calden in ans
wering the query as to whether
Issei could and did own residential
properties before the wal, stated
that no Issei could own residential
commercial, business or agricultural
lands under the alien land law at
any time The ineligible alien can
lease residential commercial, bust
ness, but not agricultural land Re
sidential homes, commercial or bust
ness structures can be owned by
Issei as separate from the land I'm
der California law residential, COM
cercial and business buildings can be
leased by citizens and aliens alike
for an indefinite period. Leasing Of
agricultural lands is limited to 10
years and prohibited entirely TO in
eligible aliens
The impression that the alien
land law concerns agricultural land
only, arose. said Attorney Calden,
when the original 1913 alien land
law permitted leasing of agricul-
turaI land to ineligible aliens for
three years This clause was drop
ped in the 1920 initiative act and
leasing of agricultural and owner
ship of all land was barred to in
eligible aliens. The Masaoka case
if substantiated through the high
err courts would permit Issei to
acquire agricultural as well as re-
sidential land.
