Sen. McCarran,
Rep. Walter Both
Hit Racial Bias

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb L
tADC)-Repeal of the final rem
nants of the Oriental Exclusion act
and elimination of racial restrictions
in naturalization are two of the
most significant aspects of the ON
nibus immigration and naturaliza-
ton bills now in Congr IS, the JACL
ADO said today.
Two companion bills have been
Introduced, one by Sen. Pat McCar-
ran 3D. New and the other by
Rep. Francis E. Walter ID, Pa.
They are chairmen respectively of
Senate and House subcommittee
on immigration and naturaliza ion.
The bills are substantially the
same, differing most markedly in
setting up a priority system for var
Gus classes of immigrants. The
McCarran bill would restrict each
priority only for the uses of immi-
grants in a particular category,
while tn Walter bill proposes that
unused priorities shall be made a.
gailable to other classes of immi-
grants.
The bills also place additional
restrictions upon immigrants, yet
he most controversial restrictions
already are law under the Internal
Security Act of 1850.
Mike M9saoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director. said the
JACL Ado has been campaigning
fer several years to obtain those
features of the bills covering Asians
in immigration and naturalization.
The sections Of the bills are al
most word for word based upon the
studies and proposals first drafted
by The JACL Ado two years ago
and subsequently introduced in the
Judd bill, and various naturalization
m assures patterned after the Wal
ter equality in natur lization bill.
Rep. Walter H. Judd (R., Mimi i,
among the most ardent supporters
of liberalizing immigration and ma
turalization laws dealing with A
slams. has been quoted as saying
thot Congress probably will adopt an

The House. of course, has pre-
viously approved immigr ton and

by Reps Judd and Walter
The omnibus bills continue to set
immigration quotas based upon the
ethnic composition of the United
States in 1920, although the formula
is simplifisd to a flat one-siXth of
one per cent Of a population of ma
tional origin here at that time
Countries receiving less than 100 an
nually under this formula would be
given a minimum quota OF 100
Only two Asian countries would
receive more than 100. China would
retain its present 105, and Japan
would be given a quota of 1875 annu-
ally
Where families of immigrants are
concerned, the omnibus bills are
somewhat more liberal than the
Judd bill Wives and children of all
immigrants would be admitted quo

this privilege only for Europeans,

HWU Leader
Urges Members

Connie Policy
Not for Workers,
Nisei Asserts

HONOLULU, T. H, Feb. 17CSpe-
cial to Northwest Tines -ILWU
members las Friday were urged by
Jack H. Kawano one of the organiz-
ers of the ILWU longshore local
to rid the union of all Communists
and those who follow the Commu-
mist line, according to the Feb 10
edition OF the Honolulu Star Bulle-
tin.
In statement, KaWano said that
Communists "predetermine all i'm
portant matters on union policy and
dominate their unions.
Kawano, in his formal statement,
did not link the Communist party
with the union leadership headed by
Jack w. Hall, ILWU regional di-
rector
THE existence of the Communist
party" said Kawano, former long
shoreman and first president of Lo-
cal 1877, was not for the best inter
ests of the working man. but to dupe
the members of the union and to use
the union for purposes other than
strictly trade union matters"
Declaring that he is not an orga-
nicer for the CLIO, KaWano also said
he is not a Communist although he
was once member of the party.
During the hearings of the House
Committee on Un-American Acti-
VitieS in April, 1850, Kawano said,
Il am not a Communist" But. the
Honolulu Star Bulletin reported. he
did not at that time say whether he
ever had been a Communist.
Last Friday, he said he Joined
the Communist party because some
individual Communists were willing
to assist me in organizing the wa
terfront union.
They led me-" he added TO be-
lieve that the basic existence of the
Communist party was primarily to
promote the best interests of the
working man"
Kawano's statement, the Star
Bulletin stated does not describe his
Communist activities, but he was j.
Identified during the federal hear
ings as having been active in the
movement here.
He, the paper continued, is des-
cribed as having been leading
spirit in the Communist movement
here and as a leader of the McCabe
group within the party in the pam
phlet, The Truth about Commu-
nism in Hawaii, by Ichiro Izuka.
Kawano also is named in the
pamphlet as member of the exc
cutive board of The Communist par
ty of Hawaii in 1916
One of the organizers of the long
shore local in the early 1905. Ka-
Wano served as president of the To-
cal for more than II years until
1949 He said at that time he de-
clined to run in order to return to
work as a stevedore.

the Attorney General said that by

the Department of Justice viii pay

the next fiscal year it hopes to pay

Thus, despite he proposed cut in
the overall budget for fiscal 1852
Masaoka said that claimants actu-
ally will be better off during the
next fiscal year than In the present.
The effectiveness of the claims
budget is not measured SO much by
the total appropriated as il is i'm the
allotment for administrative eXpcn-
ses and the amount he department
actually is able to pay claimants in !
any given year, Masaoka added
For example. in the fiscal year
of 1850, the Justice department had
a budget allotment OF 81 100000. Vet
was able TO pay out only s6882 20 i'm
claims.
Its rate Of payments during HE
