Years ago a sure sign that ma
tional leaders were cheating the
public was seen when base money
was iSSued-that was hard money
issued in metal other than that
specified by law. Historians can
point to numerous instances in
history where an empires decline
was preceded by the issuance of
dehaS ed currency.

They were relieved to be rid of the
1943 white cents.
Most of the white" cents now
have turned a bronze color and
don't cause as much confusion as
they once did. But under the law
of averages, those 1943 white cents
that were so unpopular will be
around for another 40 years
that's how long Mint officials say
coins last.

But America had debaSed coin
during the Second World War and
it didn't cause much of a furry.
The "debased" money was the steel
cent of 1913. 1t was coated with
zinc. Cashiers, in a hurry to make
change, often mistook one of the
coins for a dime. Many Ameri-
cans passed them for dimes, or
tried to.

IN lieu of bronze to save copper
for war material. The next year,
discarded shell cases were salvaged
and turned over to the Treasury
Department. Copper thus SAL

little pale" compared with those
of prewar composition, but most
peopledidn't notice the difference.

Ado TO RENEW
PUSH TO BACK
HAWAII ACTION

WASHINGTON,D.C., Nov8 (ADC)
Encouraged by the promise of Sc
nate Ma jority Leader Lucas 3D., lid
to push action on statehood for Ha-
wall and Alaska when Congress re-
conyenes this month, the JACL An
DISCRIMINATION Committee an
nounced today it also would renew
its drive in support of a favorable
statehood vote in the upper house.
Statehood for the two territories
already has been approved by the
House and needs only favorable ac-
ton by the Senate before going to
the President
In a statement today, the ADO Of
flee said:
TT is long past time for Hawaii to
become a state 1t has proven, by
every standard in our democracy,
that it is capable of supporting an
effective, loyal and courageous state
government.
THE people of Hawaii want state
hood They have asked for it re-
peatedly. They have drafted mo-
del of constitution to govern their
new state.
IF statehood continues to be de-
MED such action cannot but leave a
most unhappy feeling among the CT
items of that territory.
AT time in our history when
we are attempting to bolster the
position of the democracies in the
Orient; when American troops, under
the UN flag, are diving for the free
dom and the liberty of the Koreans,
the Senate must not ignore the ire
mendous value of granting the full
equality of statehood to our ma jol
Pacific territory.
Hawaii is the stepping stone be-
tween East and West; the binding
link between the United States and
countries of Asia. In addition, its
large population of persons of Asian
ancestry constitutes one of our most
potent forces for good in the Orient,
for these people are as intimate with
the Orient and its problems as the
average caue asian is of Europe and
her genera, problems.
Statehood for Hawaii would be
the clearest answer this nation could
make to the continuing, vicious
charges of the Communists that we
view the Orient as secondary re-
gion. and its people as second class
citizens of the world.
THE Senate probably could
achieve more good, strengthen our
position in Asia more strongly, by
favorable and immediate vote on
Hawaiian statehood than by any
action it could take at this time"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4
tADC)-There are only two types
of existing marriages which the Uni
ted States will recognize for the adj
mission of brides of servicemen OF
veterans under the soldier brides bill
which expires February Is. the
JACL DISCRIMINATION Commit
tee was informed today.
One is marriages which took
place under the auspices of the
army of occupation, whether in
japanese or American ceremony,
and is recognized as valid by the
army.
The other is marriages which
may have taken place without
authority of the army yet are re-
cognized as valid under japanese
law.
According to Charles H. Stephan

kohama, "a religious ceremony, (by

He explained further: TO effect
valid marriage, according to the
japanese Civil Code, the parties OF
the marriage are required to sign
prescribed Notification of Mar
riage in the presence of two witness
es who slso sign the notification.
The signed notification is filed with
regi' trar at a local Ward office,
and upon the Registrars attesta-
ton of acceptance of the notifica-
tlon. the marriage is legally COM
pieted
The JACL ADO also pointed out
that under immigration and Natu-
ralization Service regulations, for
eign marriages are recognized as
valid only if they are recognized as
valid by the country in which the
marriage ceremony took place.
What this means is that some
marriages - estimates place the
number in the hundreds-which
have taken place between Ameri-
can seryicemen stationed in Japan
and Japanese nationals will not be
recognized by this government be-
cause they were only religious
ceremonies. thus are neither valid
under Japanese law, nor rec0gni-
zed as valid by the army in Japan.
The consular service in Japan Or
dinarily is able to assist American
citizens in contracting legal mar
riage.
IF a citizen is a member of the
armed forces. he must present evil

the proposed marriage has been
granted by proper military authority

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 8
tADC)-The Comptroller Generals
office has authorized the Secretary
of the Navy to resume payments of
pensions to 80 retired enlisted men of
japanese ancestry living in Japan
since before the war, the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee was ad-
vised today
Pensions payments were suspended
i'm 1941 when this government froZe
all japanese assets in the United
States shortly before the outbreak
of World War II.
Payments will be resumed effec-
tive as of January |, 1919.
The problem of the pensioners
first came to light late in 1949 when
Nisei civilian employee with the
army of occupation sought help for
his penniless father in-law, Goichi
Kawamura, living in Sawarahama,
Hiroshima Prefecture.
He wrote the ADO that he felt
it was "only fair and just" that all
of the naval pensioners in Japan,
who were aged and in great need
should not be disregarded.'
Seeking more information on these
naval pensioners, Mike Masaoka,
national JACL Ado legislative dir
ector, wrote the Tokyo Mainichi
daily, asking its help in locating

side as chairman.
DR.. Morikawa, a Canadian-born
Nisei, was In Seattle last year when
the Japanese Baptist church obser-
we'd its fiftieth anniversary.
The Nisei pastor of a predominant
" Caucasian church In Chicago left
his farm home near Vancouver, BE-,
in 1891 To come to the United States
to study for the ministry. He was
graduated by the University of Cali
folnia at Los Angeles in 1887 and
received his master of theology de-
gree from the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Louisville,
KY, in 1910.
After leaving Poston WRA center
in 1913, DR.. Morikawa was appointed
associate pastor of the First Baptist
church in Chicago. In 1913 he was
unanimously chosen by his church
members to become their pastor
when a vacancy arose.
In addition to the Thanksgiving

Plans for New Center Pushed
Group Begins
Work, Eyes
Old Temple

A new Jewish Community
Center Committee swung in
to action this week, with ac-
QUESTION of the old Temple
Beth Israel for a new Center
as it's top item of business.
The committee was created at
the last meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Phoenix Jewish
Community Council. 1t absorbs the
old Youth Activities Committee
and will expand the functions of
that group.
Discussions over the possibility
of obtaining the old temple as a
new and more commodious Com
munity Center were quickly
brought to a head as the commit
tee set about its tasks.
Old Center Outgrown
The Center is presently located
at 915 N. 4th st. It's facilities have
been outstripped by the rapidly
growing population and activities
of Phoenix Jewish community.
Especially is this true in the field
of youth activities.
Sponsors of the plan to acquire
the old temple at 122 E. Culver be-
lieve the building would serve the
community's needs far more ade-
quately and could accommodate
the Center's program for many
years. 1t would afford ample space,
they say, for both offices and
youth endeavors.
Sub-Committees Created
The first meeting of the new
Community Center Committee was
held at the old temple. The fol-
lowing subcommittee were estab-
lished: ways and means, housing
and site, camping, cultural series,
adult program, junior program
and teen-age program. Chairmen
of these groups will be announced
soon.
Arnold Abelson was elected
treasurer of the new committee.
Herman A. Miller is chairman and
Samuel Langerman vice chairman.
Hirsh Kaplan will serve as execu-
tive director and Meyer Baum as
director of activities. The group
will meet on the fourth Thursday
of each month.
