JACL ADC-sponsored bill restoring
to Nisei civil service workers the
rights and privileges lost because OF
their wartime treatment, the Wash

The bill provides for the rein

have been lost or denied because OF
their evacuation form the west coast

sation, which we're lost by reason of
the governments policy or program
with respect to persons of Japanese

Last week, the House Post Office
and Civil Service Committee had
favorably reported the measure.
Prior to the introduction of the
present legislation, Congressman
George Miller, Gordon L. McDo-
nough CR., Calif), and Norris Poul-
son Or, Calif) sponsored bills
which sought to remedy the inequi-
ties, caused by the evacuation, for
Nisei postal workers.
JACL ADO recommended, through
Mike Masaoka, its national legisla-
tive director that the benefits of the
legislation be expanded to include
all Nisei civil service workers, in

refused appointment or promotion
because of their japanese ancestry
In favorably reporting the bill, the
House committee report noted the
Congressional principle alreadv es-
tablished of compromising persons
of Japanese ancestry for losses suf-
fered because of their wartime
treatment, by citing the JACL Ado
Endorsed Evacuation Claims Act of
1948 and the Compromise Settle
ment Amendment to that act.
The bill will now go to the Senate

commented that it was strange ia

many years of experience in The
field OF immigration and naturali-

knowledge of the proposed omnibus
legislation
Masaoka pointed out that the
State department has had a direct
hand in formulating many of the
provisions of the Walter-McCarra
omnibus legislation.

Ballots Sent To
Election Board

Secretary of State Ted w. Brown
has forwarded to the Madison
County Board of Elections the pre-
scribed ballots for the November
A election.
Four ballots were sent to the
Boards by Mr.. Brown-the Presi-
Dental, State, County Office Type
Ballot, the Non-Partisan Ballot,
and the Questions and Issues Bal
lots containing the statewide
question on the holding of a Con-
stitutional Convention).
Secretary Brown stated that the
ballots were prescribed in advance
of the deadline established by law.
I'VE have made every effort to
speed up the prescribing of the
ballots, he said, in order to give
the printers in each county as
much extra time as possible; to
make more certain that the men
and women in the armed forces
get their ballots back in time to be
counted and to generally expedite
the work of the Election Boards
and the entire election procedure. I"
This will be the first time that
the so-called Office Type ballot
will be voted in Ohio in a Presi-
Dental election. Under the law, as
established by a Constitutional
amendment, no provision is made
for voting a straight ticket and no
party emblems are shown.
On the Presidential ballot, an
"X" marked in the circle in the
rectangle of either the Democrat
or Republican ticket will be count
ed as vote for each Presidential
elector, removing the necessity OF
voting for each elector Individual
