TOKYO, Japan, May 10 Especial
to NJ w. TimeS)-Fffteen hundred
young hopefuls in twelve cities
throughout Japan took part in the
first nation wide queen contest ever
held in this country. A winner was
picked in each of these cities and
the dozen whose beauty, poise, per-
sonality and family background had
placed them above all the others
were brought to Tokyo for the final
choice of a Miss Nippon.
On April %, after much debating
among the judges, Miss Kyoto was
chosen the winner while Miss To-
kyO and Miss Sendai became the
runner-ups. In the Sports Center
stadium in Shiba, Tokyo, the
awards we're made with a crowd
of 5000 women attending. OF
course, there were few men, my
self among them, and children,
but the teenage girls and young
women in their early twenties do
minated the scene.
Before the winners were announ-
ced, a fashion show of the SO WIN
ners in the nation wide fashion
contest was held concurrently with
the queen contest by the Yomiuri
Shimbun. Girls from the Ernie Pyle

dresses and Miss Taiko F'ujita, an

II pointed out one significant
reason for the interest Of the
JACL in statehood was based
upon the Islands large population
of Asian ancestry.
while this factor is not always
referred to specifically, neverthe-

major excuses for delaying state
hood has been because Of HawaiPs
population of Asian ancestry. We
feel this fact should be openly dis
cussed here. Its very population is
one of the most impelling reasons
for granting statehood"

Mr.. Perlman made the state
ment after paying tribute to
Justice Tanika and other members

"It is of great Importance that,

scholars and those most interested
in promoting Japan's welfare

WITH PARACHUTE TROOPS
IN KOREA, Oct. 20.-The first
parachute drop of the Korean
campaign was a symphony of pre-
cision.
Directed personally by Gen.
Macarthur, it was commanded by
Col. w. S. Bowens of the 187th
Regiment of the veteran 18th Air
borne Division.
The parachutists' job was to
seal off Red forces withdrawing
from Pyongyang. the Red Korean
capital, with a new battle line 80
miles south of the Manchurian
border. Another aim was to cut
off the highway and rail line run
ming through Sunchon and Suk-
chon. % miles north Of Pyong-
yang. The third purpose was to
release any Communist held pris-
oners of war.

bled from transport planes and
f1oated to the ground,
The Macarthur flagship. un-
armed but protected by fighter
planes, stood out in the morning

Alert and Affable.
AS usual in advance of an
operation Gen. Macarthur seemed
alert, eager and affable. We're
going to cut off the enemy's escape
route" he told neWsmen. I'D like

At Haneda he boarded the
