 The bill went out of here like a choo-choo train and there was nothing we could do to fix up the defects" said Rep. Stepovich. T think the Senate has done some of the fixing we tried to do and it is now better bill"
 When the bill went out of here the Republicans were dragging their feet While the Democrats were blowing the whistle" commented Rep. McCutcheon.
 The drag the Republicans put on it allowed the Senate time ito devise some. very necessary amend ments," retorted Rep Barnes.
 Rep. Kay loosed a blast at the Juneau Empire and its axis asso- ciates, the Fairbanks News Miner and Anchorage News" for what he termed "a vicious and deliberate campaign against the bill, intended to deceive the people of Alaska re- garding it.'
 Rep. MacKinnon defended the newspapers; said he believed that they all had been fair in urging that the bill be submitted to the people. saA
 Confirmation Session
 The last-minute joint session was demanded by Rep. Miscovich for the purpose of acting on two Fourth Division appointments by the Gov ernor.
 The appointment of Joseph Fejes to the Fourth Division Board of Assessment and Equalization was confirmed by unanimous consent.
 Objection to the confirmation of Wallace Cathcart, ST. as a member of the Board of Health was based on his age and poor health and Rep. Miscovich requested that the name of c. J. Woofter be submitted to the Governor The Governor then named former legislator Frank Cor don to the post an appointment that found no favor with Fourth Division Republicans
 Rep. Miscovich objected that the appointment had not been properly submitted to the Legislature and in the ensuing argument the joint ses- sion got out of control and was ad-' journed without action on the ap- pointment.
 Presentation Made

 A Conference Committee later | compromised midway between the Senate and House versions, at $400,- 900 The original bill had called for $1 100000.
 Of the total, $150,000 will be for administration and civilian training and S250,00O for Federal matching. Appropriation Bill
 In the general appropriations bills, both Houses accepted the Sen ate cut of $50O,OOO from House fig ures for the Department of Public Welfare, setting the total at 3D. 896,000 This is nearly $70O,000 above the 1949 appropriation.
 They boosted funds for the Uni versity of Alaska, which was the hardest hit by earlier House prun- ing. The school was boosted $S7,000 in cooperative categories in which Federal matching funds are avail able. The legislators also added $780, GOO for new construction to the S650,0O0 construction total.
 This brought the university total to $2,241 ,655, compared with the House figure of $1 .997 ,555. The appro- priation in 1949 was S2,155, 730 The university regents had asked S3,- O9O,267
 Reorganization Bill
 The Senate had a lively debate before it passed the amended Reor- ganization Bill.
 Some of the kernels gleaned from the arguments included:
 Lyng (D-Nome) No matter how much the bill has been improved by amendments, it still is one that has no place at this session. This bill has been kicking around 18 months in this building and I can prove it. It doesn't take mind reader or seer to tell what was behind the orig inal." He said an Investigating committee would have been better.
 Barr D-Fairbaf.ks) This bill tends to correct the situation (which led to treasury defalcations). There would be a full-time auditor to check up We have amended it to throw the governor right out the window. don't see what there is left to object to-"
 Anderson (D-Nome) I'm afraid some senators are not informed on what's inside the e''bili. Tifeel it is too fast at moving ahead. Legisla- tors have no business being on the board"
 Audit Revelations
 Butrovich (R-Fairbanks) 'The audit revealed many things. I won- der how bad can an operation get before we try to correct it. This may not work perfectly but it can't be as bad as things are now. don't like Territorial officials on the board, but would prefer legislators only"

DRoBABLY YOU'VE never thought of Il yourself as maker of history.
 But you are. And here is how you, as citizen of the United States, are
 creating the greatest success in all history. Remember back in lo4l when the Defense Bonds you were buying sud- denly had to become War Bonds? How you and your neighbors pitched in to buy them in ever-increasing numbers, to back our fighting men and to help achieve the victory of World War II? After VI Day, when those bonds became Savings Bonds, you continued to buy them because you had learned how regular saving could build secu- rity and contentment for yourself and those you love.
 The face of the land has undergone some dramatic changes in those years since VI Day. Now the landscape is dotted with new homes that Savings Bonds built. Thousands upon thou- sands of new automobiles travel the highways-Savings Bonds cars, bought with the product of individual thrift. On the farms, Bond-purchased equip.

House Judiciary
Body Oks Measures
Aiding 3 Women

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Il
tADC)-Three private bills for the
admission of Japanese fiancees OF
American citizens have been ap-
proved by the House Judiciary COM
mittee, the JACL ADO reported this
week The three women are Tetsu-
ko Hidaka, Shizu Terauchi Parks
and Kimi Hatano.
Miss Hidaka is the fiancee of Err
nest Collier. twice-wounded Korean
veteran undergoing medical treat
ment in San Francisco Letterman
General hospital. Collier, who saw
action in Europe during World War
II, re-enlisted in 1916 and was sent
to Japan where he met Miss Hidaka
His enlistment expired in 1850,
but he re-enlisted in March of that
same year with the hope of return
ing to Japan to marry his sweet
heart. He wound up, instead, with
the 25th division fighting in Korea,
and was wounded before he and
Miss Hidaka could wed.
Miss Parks is the divorced wife of
Henry Francis Parks of Louisville,
KY.
In seeking to bring his .ex-wife
here, Parks said they we're wed in
China in 1896. During the war,
Parks was informed by the Japanese
and later repatriated to the United
States, and they were divorced.
Parks remarked, but his second
marriage ended in divorce. He said
unless he can bring his first wife
here, he will return to Japan, where
she now lives, to be with her.
Kimi Hatano is the fiancee of Roy
B. Erickson Jr., Cambridge, Mass,
former military government Off
Ger now studying law at Harvard.
Early this year, the JACL ADO
succeeded in obtaining years ex-
tension to the Soldier Brides Act.
That act, however, is limited to
brides and unmarried minor child
ren of American servicemen and
vets. Fiancees of Japanese ances-
try can enter only through special
legislation.

ADO Seeks Quick Action on Rider Proposed
To Speed up Evacuation Claims Payment

Larger claims still must be adju-
dictated regardless of the amend
ment.
But We of the JACL are primari-
ly concerned with the thousands oil
smaller claimants whose losses were
of the household variety and whose
needs for awards are acute and
pressing he added.
The proposed amendment is a
step in the right direction.
IF the department uses this le-
gislation with wisdom to speed up
the program without depriving
claimants of the justice to which
they are entitled, the original intent
of Congress will be carried out"

To date, approximately so Nisei
mostly young women, who lost then
citizenship solely by voting in post
war Japan. have had their citizen
ship restored by court action in the
United States.
Without exception, American
courts have ruled that:
/. Duress and general community
pressure to vote forced the Nisei to
go to the polls, and
2. The U. s. Army failed to publi-
CHE the fact that If strandees voted

The courts have also pointed to
the average youthful age of the Nj

as an ameliorating factor in their
ignorance of American repatriation
laws.
The JACL Ado said the private
bills for Miss Mazda and Mrs. Sa-
kurada are expected to come before
the full House within a few weeks.
Meanwhile, the JACL ADO is
sponsoring general legislation to
restore citizenship to approximately
1000 Nisei expatriates in Japan who

in postwar italian elections.

Masaoka Elected
To ACLU Post

WASHINGTON, D. c., May II
(ADC)-Mike Masaoka, national
JACL Ado legislative director, has
been elected to three-year term
on the national committee of the
American Civil Liberties Union.
The national committee functions
as the basic policy-making body for
the ACLU, one of the nations old
est, largest and most respected civil
liberty organizations.
Masaoka said that more than any
other organization, the ACLU has
been helpful to persons of Japanese
ancestry seeking legal and legisla-
tive redress of discriminatory treat
ment.
The ACLU joined with the JACL
in testing the constitutionality of:
the evacuation; the California alien
land law; the California anti-alien
fishing law; and cooperated in the
Reagan case in which the Native
Sons of California attempted to
cancel out citizenship of Nisei on
the basis of alleged dual citizenship
The ACLU also has cooperated in
the general JACL- national legisla-
tive program.
Masaoka said the press of other
duties has forced him to turn down
reluctantly membership preferred
recently on the: National Advisory
Committee of the Congress for Ra-
cial Equality, and Committee for
Social Action Of the National Con-
ference of Social Work.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May L
tADC)-The JACL Anti-Discrimi-
nation Committee this week asked
immediate action of a compromise
amendment to the Evacuation
Claims Act.
The compromise proposal, con-
tanned in the Celler bill, would au-
thorize the Attorney General, at the
request of the claimant, to pay eva
cuation claims up to $4,000 or three
quarters of the claimed value of
compensate items, whichever is less
without lengthy adjudication proce-
dures but simply upon the basis of
"affidavits and records.
By expressly limiting payments to
compensate items, the amendment
would thus not authorize payments
on any claimed items which might
enormously have been included in a
claim.
In a meeting with Rep. William
T. Byrne ID, N.Y., chairman of the
House Judiciary Subcommittee on
Claims, Mike Masaoka, national
JACL Ado legislative director, said
the JACL ADO is anxious to secure
early consideration and approval
of the amendment. !.
He told Rep. Byrne that in the
opinion of the JACL ADO, adoption
Of such proposal would markedly
facilitate the entire program to the
benefit Of all concerned.
TT would speed up tremendously
the payment of claims. 1t would
save the government money" rs
said.
Masaoka pointed out the rate of
payments at the present time means
the program will be going on for
rs to 100 years before the last claim
ant is paid.
This is most contrary to the orr
ginal intent of Congress that claims
payments should help the rehabili-
tation of the thousands of persons
of Japanese ancestry who suffered
such heavy personal and property
losses in the evacuation.
IF the money is to serve the pur-
pose intended, 1t should be paid as
expeditiously as possible. The way
the program is working, however,
with the long, technical and legalis-
tic adjudications. the Department
of Justice simply cannot move much
faster.
1.-The solution seems to rest with
the compromise program, and the
Attorney General himself recogniz-
ed this when his office drafted the
present bill before the subcommit-
tee.
Masaoka told Rep. Byrne that
with its experience in the claims
program during the last two years,
the department should be able to
screen claims under a compromise
settlement within relatively short
period of time.
