Funds to Push

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Ia
CADC) - The Presidents budget for
fiscal 1851 includes a 100000 re-
quest to expand civil rights enforce
ment and activities in the Justice
Departmnt under present law.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Anti Discrimination Director, called
attention to this item in the budget
today and said it indicates the
growing demands for sound pro-
gram OF civil rights in this nation.
The budget request calls for the
creation of an additional Assistant
Attorney General to supervise a
civil rights division of the depart
ment. and the establishment of a
Fair Employment Practices Com
mission and a permanent Commits
sion on Civil Rights.
Masaoka pointed out that while
the budget request is "a significant
and needed item, nevertheless it in
no way obviates the need for sound
legislation to implement existing
laws for the protection of the rights
of Americas minoritieS."

Mike Masaoka national JACL
ADO legislative director, said there
is a strong similarity between the
situation of some Nisei in Japan
and Italian Americans in Italy who
lost their citizenship by voting in
Italian and japanese elections.
Recently a bill was introduced
in the House by Cong. Francis Z.
Walter, ID, Penna.), which would
permit Italian Americans who
voted i'm Italy between October
10, 1913, and January 1, 1919. to
regain their citizenship by the
simple expedient of taking ma
turalization oath before the pro-
per government representative.
A special House Judiciary Sub
committee, which investigated the
Italian situation on a special trip
to that country, has estimated be-
tween three and four thousand Am
orleans in Italy lost their citizen
ship when under pressure of public
opinion, they voted in the italian
elections.
1--WE understand the same strong
pressures both officially and I'M
officially were applied by the Jap
anese against Nisei living in Japan
to vote in elections, especially
those held under the auspices of
the army of occupation.
Actually, we do not now know
just how many Nisei lost their citi-
zenShip by this action alone, and
no other. We do know, though, many
young Nisei stranded in Japan by
the outbreak of the war, were forced
to enlist in the japanese military
forces, or work in other government
jobs and lost their citizenship. 80.
I'VE are not proposing legisla-
ton which would restore the citi-
zenship of Nisei who lost it by aid
ing Japan in the war with the Uni
ted States.
However. we understand there
was great pressure upon the Nisei
who reached voting age during
the war, or after the occupation
began, to vote in the elections.
Many did vote, especially after
the occupation started, because
they felt they were obliged to, and
others voted without realizing 1t
would cost them their American
citizenship.
III we can determine just how
many Nisei were affected by this
pressure to vote, and obtain more in
formation on the pressures that
were applied to Nisei in Japan, then
the JACL ADO will press to have
Congress grant them the same privi-
lsge of restoring their citizenship
now proposed for Italian Ameri-
cans" Masaoka said.

Dairy Farmers Meet At

at the Harrington Fire HAN Wed (

Company for their outstanding con-
tributions in helping to stabilize

phia market during 194S.
Heading the list were four dairy
men: Medford Calhoun, Greenwood;
w. ElwOOd Jester, Harrington;
Bradley Steele, FELTON,; and A. =.
Tatman, Greenwood, who were es-
pecially cited for having achieved
the greatest success among district
farmers in the program sponsored
by the Philadelphia company.
+ In congratulating the award win
ners for having produced high
quality milk on a level month-to-
month basis" during the past year
John R. Edwards, assistant vice.
president, stressed the need for all
/ farmers to actively seek the same
goals attained by those honored at
/ the dinner.
-"Supplee.' adhering to its tradi-
tional policy, will continue its et-
forts to handle all the milk produc-
ed by it's shippers. However, milk
production has been at an extreme
ly high level throughout the win
ter and if the historic difference
between fall and spring supplies
obtains this year, the company may
find it extremely difficult to handle
all spring surpluses.
Anticipating this situation we
temporarily stopped taking ON new
shippers last year because we felt
our greatest responsibility is tC
those dairymen who have provided
us our regular supply in the past
"In view of this situation, 1 can
not emphasize too strongly the i'm
pOrtance of leveling off production
peaks and valleys in the manner
accomplished by you men here to
day.
"The company will do everything
humanity possible to merchandise
our farmers produce but they, il
return, by constantly striving fOl
level year-arOund production, mus
help us control our seasonal sur
pluses."

Kent And Sussex
Drainage Census
Gets Under Way
Soil Conservation Service Aiding
In Study OF Projects On Farms

The second census ever conduct
ed of drainage projects in Delaware
is currently being taken in Kent
and Sussex Counties, it was an
nOunced on Wednesday by Ben
jamin Ableman, Delaware super
visor for the Bureau of the Cen
sus.
The census is conducted to OBJ
tain facts on the drainage of land
for agricultural purposes. The
first such census in the United
States was taken in 1920, but Della
ware was not included in this part
of the decennial census of agri-
culture until 1910.
The facts gathered in 'the 1910
census showed that a total of $685.
Ola acres of Delaware-about 81
per cent of the land in the state
was in drainage enterprises.
Mr.. Ableman explained that agri-
cultural land in many cases is
drained to improve the condition Of
the soil and crops. The drainage is
done by means of underground
pipes Of by trenches, and pumping
is sometimes a part of the prof.
ects.
Drainage enterprises are often
undertaken as community projects,
operating under state laws which
I for obtaining equitable cooperation
among landowners benehtting from
/ the work. Costs are usually as
sessed against the properties ben
efitting from the enterprises.
The current census of drainage
lin Delaware is being conducted
with the cooperation of the Soil
| Conservation Service, Mr.. Ableman
said. That agency is providing
many of the records of drainage
enterprises being used in the sur
vey.
The information collected here
will be sent to the Bureau of the
Census in Washington in a few
weeks, and will be tabulated ther'
and published later in census re
ports.
The 1910 drainage census show
ed that the enterprises in Delawar
! cover most of a triangular section
of the state from the northwestern
corner of Kent County to the south
eastern corner of Sussex County
and to the Maryland borders on tn
west and south. In addition, ther
arc a few enterprises along tn
Leipsic River and in the Dove
area, somewhat removed from tn
general section where these enter
prises predominant.
The drainage enterprises in 194
used 1882 miles of open bitches
and were built with capital in
.vestment estimated at $454,SS3.
All the enterprises in Delawar
are in drainage districts and. OF
Grated entirely by gravity-with n
