DUALCITIZENS
MAY GET VESTED
PROPERTY BACK

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Oct. II
(ADC)-The President has signed a
law amending the Trading with the
Enemy Act 10 permit the return of
vested property to Americans with
dual citizenship.
The amendment will affect min
imum of several hundred dual nat
ionals" including many of Japanese
ancestry in Hawaii who had pro-
perry vested by the Alien Property
Custodian after the outbreak of war,
according to the JACL Anti-Discri-
mination Committee.
The necessity of the amendment
became apparent in 1948 when the
Director of the Office of Alien Pro-
perry ruled that American dual nat
ionals residing in enemy territory
during the war were prohibited from
applying for return of vested pro-
perty.
This decision disregarded the AM
erican citizenship of dual nationals
and stressed concurrent alien citi-
zenship, the JACL ADO said.
The recently approved amendment
permits such dual nationals, AS well
as American women who may have
lost citizenship by marriage but sub
sequently regained it. to seek return
of vested property except in cases
where there is proof of collaboration
with the enemy.

Turkey, Greece and the Pact

Although the new association will not make
the Turks full members of the Atlantic Pact, they
will have an important consultative role in it as
regards defense planning for the Mediterranean
area So will Greece, which has also been in
vited to participate and which has followed their

Spires OF the Spirit
Orchids in Iceland

An orchid is the acme OF botanical
perfection. In hue and form and varie-
gated, exotic loveliness, it belongs to the
floral aristocracy: In hours OF the
greatest sentiment and significance,
when language breaks down, an orchid
takes over.
An outstanding American with a
mighty passion that the fairest flowers
of democracy may have their chance to
be cultivated in gardens of freedom
everywhere, declares "An orchid may be
the perfect flower. But it is a waste of
time to plant orchids in Iceland" A
partial truth is wrapped up in the
figure of speech. But, really, f1gura-
lively and literally, the statement about
the hopelessness of raising orchids in
Iceland does not witness to all the truth
and nothing but the truth. One can
not put the idea of orchids in Iceland
in the same category as that of finding
pearls IN pumpkins. But howe'er 1t
be in the horticultural world, in the
realm Of human behavior and endeavor
1t cannot be denied that the choicest
blooms of service and character are
often found in the most unexpected
places.
In Midwestern town flower con-
test captured the interest of all classes
The wealthy, from their conservatories
sent their prize exhibits. The judges
did not know the background of the
flowers they were to appraise. A young
girl whose shabby home was in a miser-
able tenement district, but who grew
orchids in her heart, had no garden ex-
eept one she made on the roof of that
squalid apartment as with her own
hands she carried up dozens of buckets
full OF soil. There she planted the seed
and watered the growing plants with
her tenderness and her tears. She had
no more thought of competing In the
flower show than a dandelion would
have of appearing with an orchid. But
one bloom on the rooftop was so
gorgeous that the girls delighted friends
urged her to send it to the flower show.
Reluctantly, she agreed. And the
judges awarded it first prize.
That prize flower in an incongruous
setting reminds one of canary at the

Our Invisible Enemy

An unseen enemy is sabotaging our war
effort as effectively as though visible foe were
attacking our defense stockpiles and production
lines The intangible saboteur is imitation
Rising prices of everything that goes into the
manufacture of munitions and other supplies
for our armed forces have cut so deeply into
the defense budget that orders must be dras-
tically curtailed or else more funds must be
appropriated to meet the deficit. In other words
i, the defense dollar is shrinking alarmingly.
The Air Force dramatized the situation In
testifying before the House Armed Services
Committe that increased plane prices during the
past six months add up to the cost of $50 F-86
fighters Original estimates Of the cost of pro-
ducing 4,428 new planes for the Air Force already
have been revised upward by more than $500
million and the spiral still continues upward. OF
course, imitation will not be permitted to deprive
the Air Force of 750 vital planes The additional
money exacted by soaring material and labor
costs will be appropriated as needed. And infia-
ton will continue on its merry way-unless
more Is done in the future to curb this enemy
than has been done to date
Planes are only a part of the picture of
diminishing returns for the defense dollar
Carbines which cost the Army $3.50 during
World War II are costing $64 today. The MI
Comm. gun which cost $36,875 in the past war
costs $4,000 for the Korean war. Here are a
few other comparisons between 1945 and 1850
arms costs: Comm mortar, $500 then $700 now;
carriage for 4O-mn gun, $55,731 then, $189,328
now; quarter-ton truck, $1051 then, $22O5 now;
light tank, $4,000 then, $4,000 now; medium
tank, 300 then, $154,600 now; carriage for
105-mm. gun, $4,000 then, 1000 now.
Much of the Jump in cost has occurred since
the start of the Korean war For example, funds
which would buy 100 rocket launchers just prior
to that conflict now will buy only n of them;
funds which would pay for 100 kits for Comm
mortars before Korea will pay for only 81 today.
Twenty three per cent fewer recoilless rifles
be bought today for the outlay of the preKorea
period One-third fewer walkie-talkies can be
bought for the pre-Korean investment.
Another comparison is even more startling.
Whereas, in World War II, the Army could pro-
vide an infantry division with initial equipment
at a cost of $19.3 million, today 1t costs about
$50 million to do that. With armored divisions
the contrast Is even greater: $40 million as
compared with $205 million.
These figures show clearly why defense
officials are gravely worried about inflationary
trends They show why the burden on our
economy of the new rearmament program can
become so enormous as to threaten the fiscal
stability of the Nation. They supply striking
evidence of the urgency of prompt action by the
administration and by Congress if the enemy
which is underwriting our defense program is
to be held In check.

Protecting Whut Minority?

The article in last Sundays Star about

Slow Justice

United States Attorney Fays concern over
the logjam of jury cases in Municipal Court is
undoubtedly shared by the court Whether 1t
would be practicable to assign second judge
to try jury cases involving negligent homicide
charges is question which Chief Judge Barse
must decide on the basis of an overall appraisal
of the docket. The situation is serious enough to
warrant extraordinary measures.
Mr.. Fay is particularly worried about the
backlog of negligent homicide cases. There are
13 such cases awaiting trial. With the jury
calendar already two months behind, and only
one Judge now hearing jury cases, the delay in
bringing to trial the negligent homicide cases
complicates prosecution. These cases, involving
traffic Deaths are the most important jury cases
heard by the Municipal Court. It is in the
interest of effective law enforcement that the
trials should be held promptly. Now that most
Of the judges are back from their vacations and
have been joined on the bench by new Judge,
it may be possible to rearrange assignments so
as to expedite all of the jury trials.

The Nays Wooden HuIIs

Sinking of the minesweeper Magpie by
mine off the Korean coast has brought to public
attention the dangerous role that wooden -huled
ships still are playing in our otherwise modern
Navy. The Magpie once was fishing boat
operating out of West Coast ports. She and
score like her were converted to minesweepers
before World War II. They rendered good service
in both the Atlantic and the Pacific during that
The Magpie and her little sister ships of
wood managed to remain useful in an era of
steel-hulled ships because of that modern de-
velopment in mine warfare, the influence mine
This deadly device is touched off by the magnetic
influence of steel hull Although the Magpie
thus was better suited to the task Of sweeping
magnetic mines than the larger steel vessels of
the YMS class, she was pitifully vulnerable to
the shock of such blast as occurred while she
was clearing mines from the lanes used by our
feet off Korea.
The exact type of mine which sank the
Magpie and presumably cost the lives of 81
members of her crew may never be known. But
the ship was in an area made dangerous by
illegal" mines presumably foated down rivers
into the ocean by the North Koreans. Several
mines recovered by the draggers were of Russian
manufacture Such floating mines were out
lawed by the Geneva Convention, to which Russia
subscribed The Magpie was engaged in the
task of Kidding the sea of these floating hazards
to shipping of all nations The Navy and the
country at large have good cause to be proud of
the men who risk their lives in the unglamorous,
little -publicized wooden ships of the minesweep-
ing fleet.
