Aide 70 Taft May Get
White House Position
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

The late Senator Taft's admin
istrative assistant, I. Jack Mar
tin, probably will be named an
administrative assistant to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower, an informed
source said today.
Mr.. Martin himself, when
asked about the report, told a
newsman, ANY announcement
of that sort will have to come
from the White House"
He conceded he plans to stay
in Washington after finishing
the job of closing the Ohio Re-
publican Senator's office. He
estimated that will take about
two more weeks.
The President is allowed six
administrative assistants. all of
whom help him on special sub

vacancies. The job pays SIS, 900

Director Arthur S. Flemming

Mr.. Flemming declined to

Boy With Wagon
OF Cash Does Fine
Under Sweets Ban
By the Assoeiated Pres.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. q
Ronnie Olger, II, carried II quart
jars to the bank yesterday in a
coaster wagon. In these Jars were
1924 pennies, 1887 dimes, 472
nickels, 27 quarters, two half
dollars. 26 silver dollars, five pa
per dollars and a So check.
After spending an hour count
ing and wrapping the money, a
teller told Ronnie his bank ac-
count was increased by $496.29.
How did Ronnie come by the
wagon load of coin? Well. he's
in frail health-and sweets and
other treats are largely taboo.
So when relatives and friends
make a small financial overture,
Ronnie pops it into a jar. This,
plus lots of spare change from
his railroader father, made up
Ronnie's hoard.

Only a sorry business man would
in 1865 leave Ohio to settle in the
PROSTATE South ruined by a dis
astrouS war. But the captain, who
had served the Union in the MeXi-
can and Civil Wars, did not come
as Carpetbagger. Stationed in
Tennessee during the war, he had
purchased half interest in a
mems furnishings store. The large
payroll to soldiers made business
boom. Capt. Ochs moved his wife
and six children in covered wag-
ons from Cincinnati to Knoxville.
For time war profits held up an
inflated prosperity. Then came the
crash. The captain gave up his
large home and ceased his lavish

If Horatio A1ger had written Of

such tale would have been ridi-
culed as the Pigment Of an over
strained imagination. Yet that is
the story of Adolph S. Ochs. His

ed newspapers while going to
school,. Three years later, he got
job in the Knoxville Chronicle,
sweeping floors, picking up type,
clearing desks, and running err
rands. His Csc per day wage sup
piled the family with food. In the
composition room he learned type
setting and held down a printers
job in Louisville. He found his
way to Chattanooga, but the going
was tough. He tried publishing a
city directory and acquired the
habit of borrowing; at the same
time building up a reputation for
paying back promptly.
The Boy Publisher
When Adolph reached 20, he
decided to publish a daily paper.
In the Reconstructed South, news
papers sprang up like mushrooms,
and among them the Chattanooga
Times was rapidly whitening. The
well-worn type and used up para
phernalia could be had for $500.
Adolph's reputation for paying
debts now came in good stead;
he was able to borrow $3.50 for the
purchase of a half interest in the
moribund newspaper. For the
other half, the owner contracted
to accept its appraised value
whenever Ochs was ready to pay
up. Col. MacGowan agreed to be
editor for $3.50 a day until the
business could afford to pay more.
The type settlers and press men
received script on the local stores,
which paid for their advertise
ments with due bills.
In the poverty of Chattanooga,
without a paved street to cover its
muddy red earth, the odds against
success in journalism seemed
about ten thousand to one. Unre-
hitting toll pushed the decrepit
paper to solidity, then to afflu-
ence. The half interest worth $3.50
| in 1878 was purchased for $500
four years later. Adolph Ochs at
LIS felt secure enough to marry

Japan. Korea, Okinawa and Hawaii,
Mike and Etsu Masaoka returned
this week to the nations capital
The five month long jaunt, two
months of which were in the Far
East, afforded the former national
JACL Ado legislative director an
opportunity to study first hand the
problems faced by the strandees and
the Nisei who lost their American
citizenship by voting in the Japa-
nese elections.
Concerned also with strengthen
ing American-Japanes friendship,
Masaoka revealed that his talks
with high-ranking Japanese provi-
ded him with new understanding
of the needs and aspirations of the
people of Japan.
Masaoka conferred with American
consular officials in Japan regard
ing the administration of the new
immigration and Nationality Act
and related nationality issues af-
fecting the Nisei in Japan
He was requested to analyze the
effect and the implications of the
immigration and Nationality Act by
members of the Japanese Diet. Par
ticularly On the problem of dual ma
tionality, Masaoka urged that a
more expeditions way be established
to deal with this thorny issue.
According to press reports, the
MaSaokas were honored in an un-
precedented fashion. During their
stay in Japan, they were received
by key Japanese and American 60
vernment officials and industrial
lists. Included among the distin-
guished personalities who arranged
private receptions for the Masaokas
were the American Ambassador to
Japan, the Honorable Robert Muir
ply, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshi-
da. Chief Justice Tanaka of the ia
panese Supreme Court, Foreign Mi
mister Okazaki, and the United Ma
tions Commander in-Chief, Gen.
Mark Clark.

ven press cOverage accorded to few
private citizens. At the time of their
departure from Japan, the Nippon

himself truly a citizen of the world

results for the citizens of the Unit

will soon be eligible for American

For the Hawaiian portion of their

While in Hawaii, the former ia

there for their past support of the

that without their interest in and

tivities, the legislative detectives of
the JACL ADO could not have been
successfully accomplished.
Upon his return to Washington,

VA ISSUES TRAINING TIPS
FOR KOREAN WAR VETS


With more than 100000 Korean
veterans now approved for educa-
ton and training under the Korean
CT Bill, the Veterans Administra-
ton has issued a series of tips for
veterans who are about to begin
their education under this program
First of all, the VA said, the We
teran in signing up for training un-
der the Korean CT Bill should be
sure to put down the type of train
ing he desires. Failure to do so will
result in the veteran being DELAYED
in getting started
If a veteran is planning a regular
four-year course leading to a college
degree, he should put down on his
application the exact degree he ex-
poets to earn on graduation If he's
not aiming at college degree, then
he must list the subjects that make
up his proposed college program
If the veteran plans to attend
school below the college level. he
should explain his objective and list
the courses he wantsto take. In the
case of job training, he should put
