VOTE OF AZ TO

PARIS, Nov. I3--(AP)
The United Nations gem

on the question of Ger
many.
BY a vote of ~ to g
with two abstentions, the
assembly agreed 10 take
up "a western plan for Ger

The plans calls for the establish
ment of an international commits

Soviet-0ccupied Eastern Germany
are SdildDlC tOt HOiuliE CiCNlipAAs''
Both us. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson and British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden said the
plan was designed to lead even
tually to German unity.
Soviet Foreign Minister Vlshin-
sky differed sharply. He charged
the plan was designed first and
foremost to perpetuate what he
called THE dismemberment OF
Germany"
The plan was introduced al the
request of West German Chan

Vtshinsky called il an insult TO
the German people to present
them with demands which he
said are usually made to such

Highway Toll
Shows Decline
In 10 Months
Patrolrnan Wilder States
The High Cost OF Dying
Not AS Good A Bargain
AS High Cost Of Living

Despite the more than so per
cent decline in the accident rate
on Lower Keys highways. Florida
Highway Patrolman Jim Wilder
stated this morning that, drivers
will have to do a lot more policing
of their own driving than they
are doing at present
He referred 10 the Sunday morn
ing crash between a speeding coupe
and a pickup truck on the Boca
Chica-Stock Island strip which
Wilder described as the most
dangerous piece of the Overseas
Highway"
Last week the State Patr0lman
explained the mathematical gain
in minutes, of speeding on the
four-mile strip ending at the Key
West City limits. Actually. he
said, the two or three saved by
exceeding the speed limit or driT-
ing reckleSsly may result in a
fatality serious injury. or. at
least, costly damage to a car.
He pointed out that people may
drive slowly and casually all the
way down the Keys until they
reach the last four miles to Key
West then speed like fools
why they should pick dang
erouS strip like that to turn into
a speedway is something no one
seems to understand. There are
deem drnuS on each side leading
to the bridge, the shoulders are
narrow and the traffic is usually
heavy.
That is why say drivers
should police themselves. Ii is only
matter of common sense. One
doesn't have TO be an intellectual
giant to realize that few minutes
is not worth risking ones life to
save
During the ten months that
Wilder has patrolled the Lower
Key area the accident total has
dropped from So to 81, and injuries
have dropped from 50 to p, Fatal
accidents remain the same two
with four dead in the past ten
months as compared to three dead
in the previous period
In the month of August 1850
there were SIX accidents in which
four persons were injured During

Senate Body Oks
600 Suspensions

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. "a
(ADC)-The Senate Judiciary COM
mittee last weekend recommended
suspension of deportation proceed
ings against approximately 900
aliens, including Is Japanese, the
JACL ADO announced. The COM
mittee recommendation must be
approved by both the House and the
Senate.
The Is japanese are part of a
group of some 1000 treaty mer-
chants from Japan caught in the
United States by the outbreak of
war. They were given the same
right to seek deportation stays as
apply to other aliens in like circum-
stances through legislation intro
duced at the request of the JACL
ADO.
Before a Japanese may ask for
suspension of deportation, he must
show seven years residence in the
United States and be of good moral
character.
The Japanese proposed for sus-
pension include: Shika Ichimaru
Bodenstein; Takeru Kawa2oe; Mi
tsuye Mary Kobayashi Hisao Oh.
Tohachi Fukunaga; Shigeichi Ha-
mada Sukeichi Katsura; Yoneji

NiSei Reputation
Landed by TObe
Japan Agency Head
In Seattle Writes
To Asahi Paper
BY SHIG FUJITA
Especial Correspondent

TOKYO, Japan, Jan. 24-"The
Nisei and japanese have a reputa-
ton for being honest industrious
and clean and for having a high
sense of duty"
So wrote Toshio lobe, head of the
japanese Overseas Agency in Seat
tie. in an open letter published in
the Asahi Shimbun, one of the Big
Three newspapers in Japan.
In the Sd years since the NYK
Line had opened regular service
with the Orient, Seattle, he point
ed out, had advanced and grown to
the point where it was the 10Th lar
gest city in the United States. Ac-
cording to Tobe's article, Greater
Seattles population is now more
than 100000 which may be some
thing many of you Seattleites didn't
know.
Tobe commented that many ia
.panese had pointed with pride to
the fact that mushrooms growing
wild could be gathered in the hills
and mountains around SEATTLE. This
was not the only thing to which
they could call attention with pride;
not a single japanese had been jail
ed for crime in the five years
since the end of the war.
He overdid it a bit when he said
that everyone lives in a big house
and owns the latest-model car. In
cidentally, though, the majority of
the japanese do believe that every
one in the states lives in a huge
house and owns a car, a television
set, a washing machine. an auto
ma tic dish-washer and every other
kind of luxury. This is partly due
to their impressions from American
movies and partly to reports brought
back by people who have been to the
states and who, of course, tell about
the biggest ana flcheSt houses they
visited.
Towards the end of the letter, To-
be added that in the grammar
schools, you are taught not only the
geography and history of Japan but
also simple japanese words. That
was something surprising and your
reporter is wondering how much
truth there is in that statement.
He ended his letter by expressing
his gratitude TO Mayor Devin and
others Of the Chamber of Commerce
group which came 10 Japan last
yer, for their untiring efforts to-
ward furthering American under
standing of Japan and the Japanese.

cause the donors failed to do this -
Donating blood is a very simple
process and is no more painful than

health often experience feeling

The entire process takes about half
an hour and the blood bank serves
donors with cookies and coffee or

allowable claims under the act. The

Measure to Aid
.EX-POStal Men

WASHINGTON, DC. Jan. "a
(ADC)-A bill to restore the senior
ity of approximately dozen Nisei
postal employees who lost their jobs
when they we're evacuated from the
West Coast has been introduced by
Rep George b. Miller ID, CalifD
at the request of the JACL ADO.
The bill would affect only those
Nisei still with the postal depart
ment.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director, gave this
explanation for the bill
Several West Coast Nisei were
suspended from their postal jobs on
orders of the Civil Service Commi-
ssion at the time of evacuation.
Subsequently. those who re-enter-
ed the service after the evacuation
ban was lifted were required to toke
new civil service examinations to get
back into the postal department.
The Miller bill would restore
TO these Nisei "the grade, time in
grade, and rate of compensation
to which they would be entitled
if they had remained continuous
Iy i'm the postal field service.
The bill also would apply to any
postal employee who left the de-
partment to enter military service
but was evacuated before joining the
armed forces.
MaSaoka said Rep. Miller was urg-
ed to introduce the bill after a stu
dy by the JACL Ado revealed that
at least a dozen Nisei we're affected.
We found that existing legisla-
ton protected he job and senior
ity rights Of men who joined the
armed forces, but nothing covered
the Nisei who had TO leave because
of evacuation.
This was patiently unfair to these
Nisei, even though they are few IN
number They lost jobs through no
fault Of their own. We feel it only
fair that these postal employees be
restored to their old seniority
rights" Masaoka said

COMMITTEES
More Conservatives
Seen in Rise of
COP Strength

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. "a
(ADC)-The Senate and the House
have completed the organization CT
major standing committees, al
though all the subcommittee APP
pointments have not yet bsen an
nounced, the JACL ADO said today.
Committee membership is based
upon Congressional strength of the
respective parties. Thus, with the
Democrats losing membership in
both Houses. and the Republicans
gaining, the COP has increased its
strength proportionately on all COM
mittees. All, of course, still are con-
trolled by the Democrats.
Few significant changes were
made on the committees. 1t is gen.
orally conceded, however, they will
be somewhat more conservative than
during the last session of Congress
because of increasing strength of
southern Democrats and the rising
membership of the COP.
The two most important commit
tees from the standpoint of legisla-
ton dealing with Japanese in Anne
RIGA are the judiciary and approDri-
ationS, the former because all mat
tiers dealing with immigration and
naturalization must go before them,
the latter because they handle bud
get matters, including Evacuation
Claims appropriations.
Here is the makeup of the COM
mittees in both Houses:
