Washington Man Calls Shots

The cameras around the hall
are so many rowing eyes. But
Mr.. Doyle tells them in advance
what to watch for, and where.
Something has happened in one
of the delegations. Is it more i'm
portant than what the speaker is
saying? Or is it a meaningless
distraction, that will confuse
rather than entertain the audi
ence.
Play 1t Straight
"Play it straight" cautions Mr..
Doyle. He has decided that who-
ever is speaking cannot be inter-
rupted.

man. In a few seconds he is
going to ask for recognition. When
he stands up he's on the network.
That is the way the picture
story of the convention is put
together. Tragedy, comedy, farce
the little bits of play-acting
that, when arranged in natural
sequence, tell the story of what
is going on.
The stage manager must an
ticipate everything, be ready for
the unexpected, exercise good
judgment, good taste, proper re-
Istraint. He must discard the
trivial or the vulgar, know what
is significant-but never get tire
some. And he must be absolutely
fair. For the reaction from his
audience can be Immediately and

Mr.. Doyle. a wartime carrier
pilot, was graduated from Wilson
High School here in 1887, and

After leaving the Navy late in
1945, Mr.. Doyle went to work for

assistant director when NBC put
on its first TV programs here
soon after the war.
The young assistant director
was assigned to the party con-

programs for his network there

ing to do court battle with Secreta-
ny of State Dean Acheson.
KiyoShi Kawaguchi. Denver re-
sident who lived in Seattle, Wash.
before the war, wants Secretary A
chesOn to declare him an American
citizen again but Acheson won't do
it.
So Kawaguchi has filed a suit i'll
U. S. District court here against A
cheson in an effort to make the
court change the Secretary of State
Acheson's mind. The suit will be
heard May 8.
In his suit, Kawaguchi says he is
an American citizen by birth. He
also says he was born Nov. "a, 1919
in Shelton. Wash.
And he claims he was caught in
Japan when World War II began
and was forced, under duress. to
declare allegiance to Emperor Hiro-
hito.
Anyway, the State department re-
fuses to return his American citi-
zenship to him.
Kawaguchi, on the other hand
states he thought everything was
perfectly legal He asserts he was
forced to declare his Japanese al
legiance not only to obtain employ
ment but also to be able to get food.

was also his skillful handling of the
House debate which resulted in such
smashing reputation of the oppo-

When the oppositions arguments,
said the JACL ADO official, were
exposed to Congressman Walters
defense and explanation, the criti-
cisms we're shown to be without ba-
sis and, therefore the amendments
which incorporated the opposition's
points of view were Overwhelmingly
rejected by the House.
On the other hand, Congressman
Walter accepted few amendments,
which he felt aided the proposed le-
gislation. and upon his expressed
support of them, they were approx
ed by the House, said MasaOka.
BY and large it was clear that the
criticisms were raised by special in
terest groups, declared Masaoka. For
example he pointed out. the Itali-
ans we're asking that the quotas un-
used by Italy during its war with the
Allied nations be made now availa-
BILE to them. The number of unused
quotas in this instance would run to
more than $4,000.
We felt. also, said Masaoka, that
the individuals pressing for the
principle of pooling unused quo
tas we're working merely to extend
the displaced persons program, to
the exclusion of seriously consider
ing the basic reforms which the
Walter omnibus measure proposed.
A crisis matter such as the dis

legislative director, should be hand

President Truman mad not be made

He believed. he continued, that in
doing this he would still be able to
retain his American citizenship by
becoming dual citizen.
He did not know. he said, that the
Ian does not provide such a leeway
during time of war.
Kawaguchi says he went to Japan
in 1888 to study at Waseda univer-
sity in Tokyo. Because of the war,
he could not return to this country.
In 1884, according to Kawaguchi.
he was forced to declare his allegi-
anee to the Emperor, since prospec-
tive employers told him they could
not hire him unless he did so.
The Japanese regard this action
as merely retaining Japanese citi-
zenship since that nation holds that
any person born to japanese parents
is citizen of Japan, regardless of
where he or she was born.
Kawaguchi said he had no inten-
ton of giving up his u. S. rights,
adding that he merely misunder-
stood the law

as a reporter for a Japanese news
agency in Rangoon Burma, from

as an American citizen but the State

"Aof11NG YIN, -. u, MAY
tJACL ADC)-On the arrival OF
Ambassador Robert d. Murphy in
Tokyo to assume his duties as the
first postwar envoy to Japan. the
Washington office of the JACL An
ti-Discrimination Committee today
announced the text of the letter
written by Mike Masaoka, national
JACL ADO legislative director, to
the new American ambassador to
Japan
Declaring that I'VE have more
than an average concern to see that
Japan never again embarkS on the
road to militaristic totalitarianism"
MaSaoka affirmed the desire of all
persons of Japanese ancestry to re-
move racial discrimination in Anne
rican statutes which in the past
have hindered genuine understand
ing between the peoples of Japan
and the United States.
The text of Masaoka's letter fol-
lows:
AS you assume your duties as the
first postwar ambassador to Japan,
may we on behalf of the japanese
American Citizens League extend to
you our sincerest congratulations
I'VE wish for you the highest pos
sible success as you, the ranking Of
fetal representative of the govern
ment of the United States, interpret
to the people of Japan our American
concepts of freedom and justice.
"As the only national organization
representing the interests of persons
of japanese ancestry in the United
States, the Japanese American Ci-
tizens League, whose membership is
composed entirely of American citi-
zens, has by virtue of the cultural
background of most of its members
a keen interest in the future destiny
of Japan.
I'VE have more than an average
concern to see that Japan never a
gain embarks on the road to militia
ristic totalitarianism.
During the war between the Uni
ted States and Japan, we, who che
IRISH our birthright of American CT
tizenship, and our resident alien pa
rents, who are prohibited by law
from applying for naturalization
privileges. we're the targets of the
suspicious and hostilities of the A
merican public. which confused us
with the japanese enemy.
AT a great sacrifice of life and
property, the Japanese American
community proved to the rest OF the
nation it's devotion to democratic
principles and it's undeniable right
to be considered an integral part OF
American life. Today, we Ameri-
cans of Japanese ancestry enjoy the
respect and affection of most OF our
fellow Americans.
Admittedly, we have selfish in
terest at stake, as persons of Japa-
nese ancestry and as Americans sim
cerely committed to the democratic
enterprise. in our desire to have ia
pan become a peaceful and coopera-
tive member of the family of free
nations. Our present favorable sta
