Beef and Lamb
Short
In District Area
Wholesaler Is Out;
Industry Awaiting
Price Regulations

Shortages of beef and lamb were
reported today by some Wash
ington-area meat suppliers and
retailers. as the meat industry
awaited new beef price regulations
from the Government.
One wholesaler said today he
has had no beef since last week,
and no lamb for three weeks.
The Washington branch of a
major packing company said beef
supplies are only 20 per cent of
normal.
Grain stores reported they still
have ample beef supplies. how
ever.
The first dollars-and-cents
price ceilings on meat-covering
beef only-are expected in the
next few days from the office of
Price Sterilization. They will
apply to cattle on the hoof-not
now controlled--as well as to sales
at other levels.
OPS spokesmen say the new
rules should help to ease the beef
and lamb situation, along with
correcting "squeezesn complained
about by the meat industry all
along the line.
Some fear was voiced in indus
try circles here today, however.
that a reported rollback embodied
in the new ceilings may discourage
farmers from bringing more cattle
to market. and thus prolong the
shortages.
Complaints that meat packers
have been evading present ceilings
by adopting different methods of
sale have been passed by the local
OPS Office to national enforce
ment officials, but no action has
yet been taken on them. One
Washington retail Official said to-
day that packers are ignoring"
the regulations. but several pack
ing house spokesmen denied this.

Reynolds Sees
More Tempos as
Space Solution
Would Resign Before
Using Mall Sites,
However, He Says

The construction Of still more
Temporary buildings in Washing
ton was seen as possibility today.
w. E. Reynolds, public buildings
commissioner, said requests have
been made for space for 10000
additional Government employees
between now and July /. The
Public Buildings Service now pro-
vides space for 205, 900 workers.
The service has been counting
Ion space being made in the
Capital by the removal of agencies
TO other cities in the decentraliza-
Ition program. This was part Of
the dispersal project - erecting
buildings for 10000 workers in
the suburbs-which was killed by
the Senate on Monday.
One Other Course.
Mr.. Reynolds said there were
two approaches to the problem of
finding space for the 10000 en-
Iployes: Condemning space in
private Office buildings, or more
Itempos.
At the Office of General Services
Administrator Jesse Larson it was
said that condemnation of occu-
pied buildings to provide space
flor Government Offices would be
undertaken only in an extreme
emergency" Mr.. Larson has ex-
pressed opposition to condemna-
tion proceedings, it was pointed
out, and no serious thought has
been given to invoking such prac-
i ticeS
Figured on the basis of 100
square feet of Office space per
person. million square feet would
have to be provided for 10000
persons. Mr.. Reynolds said the
total would reach LIS million
square feet when space for files,
records, corridors, etc.. is added.
Some World War II tempos
we're built on the Mall, where
three tempos from World War
still stand. Mr.. Reynolds was
asked whether new tempos might
be erected there.
mot as far as I'm concerned"
he said. "I'll never erect a TEN.
porary building on the Mall again.
I'll resign first"
Some Court Space.
The drawback to condemning
space in privately owned Office
building. he said, was that present
tenants would have to be evicted.
Naturally, they would resent it.
He said there will be a little
space available when the new
i courthouse is complete and the
courts move into it.
Demands for space come as a
result of the defense build I'D.
The National Production Author
ity, which now has 2,870 employees
in the District, expects to have
5000 by the end Of June. This is
chiefly because Of the inaugura-
ltion Of the Controlled Materials
Plan involving the allotment Of
steel, copper and aluminium to pro-
duction.
The Office of Price Sterilization
now has 1,740 employees here. It
expects to have a total of 2,70O in
Washington by June 80. Defense
agencies, of course, also are adding
to their staffs.

New Dworshak Bill
Reyives Move 10
DecentraIize Agencies

A Republican member of the
Senate has started a move to
revive a portion of the SLOT mil
lion decentralization dispersal
measure killed Monday by the
Senate.
Senator Dworshak. Idaho Re-
publican. introduced bill for
the removal from Washington to
other areas Of the country of at
least $4,000 Government employees
of key agencies now housed here.
A similar plan was embodied in
the Senate Public Works Com
mittee bill that was shelved Mon
day after two days of debate.
Wins Some Support.
He won some immediate sup
port though there was no indi-
cation to how soon the Public
Works Committee might act on
the new and reduced program.
Senator Dworshak told report
ers he thought the dispersal sec
tions of the sidetracked bill had
amounted to a subterfuge for an
effort to provide Office space for
the growing monthly influx of ad-
ditional employees at the National
Capital.
That program, for building new
Government Offices in scattered
areas 20 miles distant from down
town washington. he said, would
have been no protection for
Washington from enemy bombing
attack should an atomic war de-
velop.
Favors Permanent Removal.
But he thought the decen-
tralization program would help
through the permanent removal
from Washington Of some of its
Government personnel to more
distant spots.
Senator Chavez, Democrat of
New Mexico, chairman of the
Senate Public Works Committee,
told reporters he still was very
strongly for decentralization pro-
grams. He added that there
should be an added provision for
the building of new highways
about the National Capital which
could be used for any needed
emergency evacuation.

is in reply to the crack made by
fellow walking down the street
yesterday, Pearl Harbor day.
Said he to his friend:
"Today's Pearl Harbor day-the
day the Japs stabbed US in the
back"
He said something else but we let
it pass.
Yes. everybody knows Pearl Har-
Dor day.
It was ten years ago Dec. that
the Japanese militarists pulled a
sneak attack on our country at Ha-
wall. Our ships were lined up like
sitting ducks. made easy targets.
and were damaged severely.
It was just as much stab in the
back" as Mussolini's march into
France when she was ready to sur
render to Hitler's once mighty for
ces.
A few days before Pearl Harbor,
Japan sent Special Envoy Saburo
Kurusu on a trans-Pacific flight
for touchdown, as Kurusu hope
fully explained it when he stopped
In Honolulu. Kurusu had the ball
but en- route to our nations capital
the army fanatics in Nippon violat-
ed the rules of the game.
So the US.-Japan war became a
startling reality.
Other than that fact, Pearl Harbor
has more special meaning with
unpleasant memories to Americans
of Japanese ancestry. It signaled
the beginning of series of irritat-
ing and unwarranted events which
eventually led to another "stab in
the back"--the now infamous war
time evacuation Of all Japanese,
Americans or not, from their homes
on the West Coast.
How well we remember the Tolan
committee which, armed with paper
and pencils and pens, was sent out
by our government to investigate
whether the Japanese we're Ameri-
cans or made out of different, for
eign stuff.
How well we remember the many
friends who stood by us in our hour
of deep distress.
And how well we remember the
many fair weather friends who sold
us down the river" Cor should we
be frank: to concentration camps
We should like to repeat what the
late Boake Carter, a noted radio
commentator. had written US about
year before Pearl Harbor in reply
to a question. Carter predicted

THE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CHILD

The trend In current thinking
seems to be toward helping the ply
sically- Handicapped child to parti-
cipate with non-handicapped child
rem in normal life situations, rather
than placing him with group of
children having a similar handicap.
1t is important that the physically
handicapped child should have
normal relationships and social ex-
periences necessary to equip him
later to compete in adult society.
The reaction of parents to the
knowledge of a child's handicap is
of great significance in the child's
adjustment. 1t isn't always easy for
a parent to accept the handicap e.
motionally, as well as Intellectually,
by taking constructive action in re-
gard to it.
The mothers attitude toward the
child Is of particular significance.
Her ability to love the child and to
help the child feel she accepts his
disability does much to reduce the
anxieties and tensions Of the other
members of the family which may
center around the child.
The problems which face the mo-
Their are real. A severely handicap
ped child places heavy demands on
her physically, emotionally, and
often financially. The child may
require more attention than the mo-
ther has time to give with her
household responsibilities She is

While mentally handicapped

would suffer as result Of war ny
sierra which would sweep the coun-
try.
The war hysteria. however, was
confined to the West Coast, long an
area where Orientals we're as popu-
lar as Negroes in the Deep South.
Well. if you win recall, It. Gan.
Dewitt gave US nice deal; he is
sued an order for the evacuation Of
all Japanese because as he 'sweetly
put it, "Once a Jap. always a Jap"
What seemed to peeve and puzzle
the Japanese Americans was this:
Our country was at war not only
with Japan but also with Germany
and Italy. Why were we singled
out as the enemies" and why were
the Germans and Italians left here
to roam as they please? They were
Americans; so were we. They had
nothing to do with Hitler's war or
Mussolini's antics And we had
no part in the TOTO military ma
chine.
To this day, that question has not
been answered to the full satisfac-
ton OF the Japanese Americans. 1t
will probably never be honestly re-
corded.
We cannot forget the cruel, dirty
looks, thoughts and actions which
pierced the hearts of our helpless
people.
We cannot forget those people
who, like hungry vultures, waited
for the Japanese to quit their homes
and businesses. And when the Ja-
panese returned after passing their
loyalty test" at stupendous cost
in blood (442nd combat infantry
team, sweat Qoss of property and
money and human dignity, and
tears (life behind barbed wires)
the cultures" did not return the
PROPERTY rightfully belonging to
the Japanese. 1t was a 20-year
economic throwback, to say the
least.
We cannot forget the nasty atti-
tude of those who gleefully joined
the bandwagon in calling us "Japs"
and other names while our hands
and tongues were literally tied for
fear we may be involved in embar-
RAISING situations.
We cannot forget those who used
us as a political football to advance
their personal positions.
We cannot forget how one we'll
known organization refused to al
low Nisei to enter war-effort
unit because he was of japanese
ancestry.
We cannot forget that Nisei office
girls in schools resigned in a body
due to protesting mothers Cor was
it some mysterious pressure groups
in action?).
We cannot forget the cries that
went up, screaming that the Japa-
nese Americans might sabotage our
defense plants.
So you see, fellow, Pearl Harbor
day is a historical event in the
minds of the Japanese Americans.
1t was the day Japan sneak-attack-
ed our country, and 1t was the day
the devils stirred hatred against us,
eliminating in the wholesale eva
cuation of one group of people just
because they happened to have the
same facial features as those of the
enemy across the Pacific.
But time Is q great healer Of
wounds, it has often been stated.
Yesterday, Pearl Harbor day, Dec.
z. was marked solemnly with hopes
of sincere peace between Japan
and our country.
And yesterday, Pearl Harbor day,
Dec. 7. the Japanese Americans
passed the day without any danger
of being attacked because of their
racial background.
In Seattle, Pearl Harbor day,
Dec. 7, 1851, was cold. We thought
you might be interested to learn
that we tossed an extra heavy blan-
ket on our bed as we dozed off to
sleep.
