Hiroshima Girl Who Wasn't Expected
To Live, Asks Shelter in Friends House
Dear friend:

Dear friend:
This week I had letter from Hi
roShima written in a firm hand in
beautiful Japanese script. 1t was
signed by siXteen-year-o old Sachiko
------whom I had known as a pa
tient in the Hiroshima Memorial
Hospitals tuberculosis ward. She
was one of several critically i'll
children for whom we had secured
supplies of powdered milk and drugs.
When I saw Sachiko-cha last she
weighed less than fifty pounds and
was so weak that she could not
speak. Her doctor did not think
that she could live another month
and did not think she would sur
vive the night. When I wrote next
did not ask about her to save them
the pain of reporting her death.
And nov I have this letter.
Translated literally, it says in
part:
Dear Schmoe Sensei: am wri-
ting this remembering your loving
eyes in my mind. I could not
make up my mind to die Ihear
that you are coming back to Japan
again I think that many unfortu-
nate people are giving their thanks
in your houses of love. I now
get so well that must leave hospi-
tai to rest at home. But I am wor-
ried because I have no home to go
to I wonder if you would kindly
let me live in your house which you
build? Csigned Sachiko"
Sachikos letter made me very
happy. It is the closest I have come
to miracle lately. It is one of the
reasons We keep on building houses
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sa-
chiko is only one of thousands of
Japanese children who suffer and
die of diseases caused by poor nu-
triton and poor housing during and
since the war OF the hundred or
more people living in houses we have
built, more than half have, or have

Who Backs Ike
entlcnen:

Gentlemen:
I have been reading with interest
your editorial of l9 January in
which you refer to the entry of Ike
Eisenhower into the presidential
race for the Republican nomina-
ton. am interested moreover in
the fact that your paper repres nts
the views of group I have always
had a very deep interest in, the ia
panes- american citizens. If your
editor is able to look back to the
days of l941, when 1 was one of the
champions OF citizenship rights for
Japanese American citizens, you will
recall that l took very activa part
in the attempt to pres rye some of
those rights which unhappily were
not always respected. 1 think that
Jimmy Sakamoto could til you
more about this.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that in
your editorial policy you will re-
serve judgment on the Republican
candidate until all evidence is be-
fore you. When it is, I feel very
sure that you will join with us in
support of Ike Eisenhower as the
best man to assure both psace in
the world and justice to all of our
citizens
Very sincerely yours,
S Floyd oles
Editors note: Floyd Oles, in
deed, was lone of the champions
of citizenship rights for Japanese
Americans" in 1941 and we should
know as we were editing the Eng
lish section of the North Ameri-
can Times during those critical
days and Mr.. Jimmy SakamOtO
was editor of the japanese Anne
rican Courier. And, as Mr.. Oles
suggested, we shall res rye our
judgment on the Republican pre-
siden.ial candidate until all the
evidence" is before u.s.

Acheson to Seek
'Goinfur Employment
After January 20

Secretary of State Acheson
said today that he will seek
"gainful employment (which
he asserted does not describe
the holding of public office
after next January 20.
But first, he said, he plans
to take at least two months
vacation in the West Indies,
starting a few days after
the Eisenhower administra-
ton comes into Office.
He said he undoubtedly will
return to the practice of law
for his gainful employment,
but has not yet had oppor-
tunity to work out any de-

Czech Purge Proves
Failure 10 Meet Soviet
Aims, Acheson Says
By Gornett D. Homer


Secretary of State Acheson to-
day described the recent purge
trials in Czechoslovakia as "evi-
dence of Moscow's dissatisfaction
with what the Communists have
done or failed to do in that coun-
try"
He told a news conference that
similar trials may be expected Sin
the Soviet empire wherever it is
deemed necessary to teach the
lessons Of utter unquestioning
dependence upon the Kremlin and
answering and successful COM
pliance with its purposes"
Mr.. Acheson referred to the
trials in which Rudolf Slansky.
former general secretary of the
Czech Communist Party, and 10
other prominent Czech Commu-
nists were sentenced to death for
alleged treason and sabotage.
They were hanged December 8.
Such q "show trial in which
Stalinist communism devours its
own children" Mr.. Acheson de-
clared. '-is designed to terrorize
satellite regimes to punish them
for shortcomings. to compel great
er exertions. to produce scape-
goats. and to provide a propaganda
demonstration of the Kremlin's
favorite hates"
Explains NATO0 Meeting.
Mr.. Acheson read this statement
at his first news conference in
two months. He has been attend
ing the United Nations General
Assembly in New York and plans
to leave by air Friday for meet
ing of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization meeting in Paris
Monday.
He told questioners he did not
expect any great decisions from
the NATO meeting. but that it
would provide very valuable con-
sultation among the foreign. de-
fense and finance ministers of the
allied nations.
It had been hoped that this
meeting could complete a review
of the NATO defense force goals
for 1858. Mr.. Acheson recalled.
But he said this would not be
possible because preliminary work
had not gone far enough.
Sees Solidarity in U. N.
On other matters the Secretary
said:
l. Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Vishinsky's farewell state.
ment yesterday that the U. N.
General Assembly had proved un-
satisfactory as an instrument of
peace was just a parting shot be-
cause things had not gone well
for him. Actually the U. N. mem
berS are showing great solidarity
for peace. Mr.. Acheson asserted.
2. The State Department has
had several meetings and expects
to have others with representa-
tlves Of major American oil
companies seeking their ideas and
advice on solution to the Brit
.ish-Iranian oil dispute. But he
described as incorrect some reports
that this Government had asked
American companies to get to-
tgether to market Iranian oil.
8. So far as he knows, the Gov
ernment has not been in touch
with Gen. Macarthur regarding
the generals asserted plan for
ending the Korean plan.
4. The possibility of encourae-
ing the Japanese to enter the fight
in Korea, as suggested recently by
Representative Martin, Republican,
of Massachusetts,. has never been
considered and is not under con-
sideration now.

In cooking veal, the novice
should realize that it has less fat
than other meats and requires
long, slow cooking to emerge moist
and tender. Many was the veal
outlet I ruined when first started
my culinary career by attempting
to hurry the cooking process.
A shoulder of veal, which may
be boned and stuffed, is excellent
for braising, and one of the most
foolproof veal cuts to experiment
with.
Get 5 to 6 pound veal shoulder
Ask the butcher to remove the
bone and leave a pocket for the
stuffng.
Chop 2 cloves of garlic fine, with

chopped anchovy fillets and the oil
in which they were packed, a
couple of tablespoons of minced
parsley and IL ripe olives, seeded
and sliced. Mix all we'll and, when
blended, stuff into the pocket in

cup cracker crumbs, and salt

Make into loaf. pack into
creased pan and bake 80 min
utes in 350-degree oven. This
is winter recipe but fresh limas
may be used in summer. For
those who do not have leftover
meat, buy ham hooks and cook
before grinding. I do not know
the source of this recipe. It was
given to me during the depres-
sion years, when ham hooks
were Is cents each, and store
keepers were glad to get that
price for them. To add to the
flavor, heat a can of tomato
soup (undiluted) and pour over
the loaf before taking it to the
table.
Meat Salad: have not tried
this but I am told that salad
of half ham and half chicken is
very good.
Sandwich spread: Grind meat
and mix with salad dressing or
mayonnaise. Keep in jar in re-
frigerator for sandwiches.
Ham and eggs: Grind ham.
Put some into scrambled eggs or
omelet.

You might like to use a pork

chopped fine, in 3 tablespoons of
butter. Blend with Y pound Of
ground fresh pork, teaspoon Of
salt, teaspoon of coarse black
pepper. 2 tablespoons of minced
parsley, little thyme and 1s cup

This makes a nice dish that is

Modern
Marriage
GI Is Facing
Family Reunion
With Misgivings
By Paul Popenoe

py Fout TOPeHOe
Absence may make the heart
grow fonder, but it does other
things, too. 1t can breed a
strangenesS between two people
who are in love. whether they are
married or not.
Ask any returned soldier how he
felt during those first few days
back in the bosom of his family
and he'll likely have tale of re-
adjustment. probably not too hard
but maybe very, very difficult.
Both the man and the woman in
such cases have been living with
an image. a memory, for SEEM
ingly endless months; then, sud-
denly, there is reality! The loved
one is back, perhaps changed
somewhat in appearance. manner
and voice. (Boys grow quickly into
men during wars) They become
two strangers in love-yet not
strangers, because they have be-
longed to one another. 1t is
stirring experience. one which
Corporal T., who is coming home
soon from Korea, looks forward
to with some misgivings.
Its nearly a year and half
since I saw my wife and little
boy; and We have baby girl
whom I've never seen." he writes.
'I'll soon be getting out and I
can't help wondering how I'll hit
it off with my family. They've
been getting along without me
maybe they won't need me. Some
of the married men who went
home from here write me that
they had a hard time. I don't
want anything Of that sort"
You may not find any such
problem, Corporal. But here are
several points for you to watch:
/. Act naturally. You'll wonder
what your wife thinks of you:
but she'll be equally anxious about
the opinion you are forming of
her-whether you still find her
lovable: whether you approve Of
the way she has handled things.
You'll both be q bit tense; but
be as natural as you can.
2 Don't try to take over the
controls too fast. She has been
handling the children and the
finances alone. Don't take every
thing out of her hands at once,
even though she may be very
happy to get rid of lot of respon-
sibility. The children, especially,
can hardly avoid looking on you
as stranger. at first.
3. Encourage your wife not to
change her social life too rapidly.
She'll be mighty glad to go out
with you all the time; yet she
probably has made new friends,
joined new organizations, in your
absence. Let her keep all Of these
that are likely to be Of value to
her in the future.
4. Be patient with her parents,
and appreciative of what they
have done to keep things going.
5, Remember that your wife
has matured in your absence. She
has had to shoulder a lot of your
responsibilities, make a lot of deci-
sions for you. Praise her literally.
6. Finally. be generous in your
display of affection, your express
sion of approval and admiration.
She needs it. Don't look for any
little errors or pick on any trifling
matters in the past that you would
have handled differently. Happy
homecoming CORPORAL.
