WASHINGTON, D. c., July %
(JACL)-Though gratified that the
House of Representatives last week
unanimously approved $8,072,696 in
supplemental appropriations for e.
vacuation claims already awarded
by the government, the Washington
office of the JACL announced that
it will concentrate its efforts to Sc
cure Senate approval of the sum
before adjournment.
The House authorized the full "a
mount requested by the Department
of Justice and approved by the Bud
get Bureau and the President. The
appropriations are to include
S4,172,696 to pay claims awarded in
the fiscal year 1852 and $4,000, 900 to
paw claims awarded in the fiscal
year 1853 which ended last June 30.
The supplemental appropriations
are now being considered by the Sc
nate appropriations subcommittee
chairmanned by Senator Homer
Ferguson (R., Mich).
While expressing the hope that
the Senate will concur in the House
action, Mike Masaoka, Washington
JACL representative, declared that
favorable Senate action cannot be
taken for granted. He expressed
greatest fear that an acroSs-the-
board percentage cut might be used
as the Senates formula for reduc-
ing appropriations.
Masaoka recalled that last veal
Senator Ferguson, who is now the
chairman of the subcommittee con-
sidering this legislation, led the fight
in the appropriations subcommittee
and later in the full committed
which eliminated entirely th'
$14,8OOOOO approved by the Hous'
for the payment of these same com
promised and settled claims.

Claims Bill Goes
TOSenate

WASHINGTON, d. c., July rs
(JACL) The House last Wednesday
passed the supplemental appropria-
tions bill containing SS,072,696 for
payment of evacuation claims a
warded under the compromise set
Element program. The bill now goes
to the Senate. IT. was referred to
the Senate appropriations commit
tee where action is expected i'm time
for full Senate consideration before
adjournment of this session.
"The fact that the House approx
ed the full amount recommended by
the Budget Bureau and the Depart
ment of Justice when almost all o.
Their items were reduced drastically,
some more than so per cent, demon
strates congressional concern over
the program" Mike MasaOka, Wa
shington JACL representative, said
today. 1t was further pointed by
Masaoka that no one questioned the
item and no explanations were gi-
ven during the House debate on the
bill.
at proves House members are
not only aware of the program, but
are also sympathetic" Masaoka
added. He reported that the vote
was unanimously on appropriations
The bill provides S4,172.696 for a
wards made during the 1852 fisca
wear and S3,9OO,OOO for awards fol
the 1853 fiscal year.

Japanese Study
Course Offered
By MatSuShita

Iwao Matsushita, who has been
teaching Japanese to many Nisei
and other Americans privately for
many years, now wishes to make a
group study course as advertised on
the front page of the NORTHWEST
TIMES.
This is only experimental" he
says. IT wish to find out if little
larger study group can be formed 1t
is my dream and hope that this kind
of group will develop into So many
classes that the Japanese language
classes will be opened in such an in
stitution as the Edison Technical
School where anybody can enroll"
Mr.. Matsushita assisted in open
mig the japanese language course at
the University of Washington in
1927 He taught the language at the
university for the last few years and
currently is associated with the A
static Studies department of the u
University.
Membership fee is $7(seven) for
either Glass A or Glass B, and $40
item if A and B are taken together
For more details and application,
one should call Mr.. Matsushita,

National JACL to { Concentrate
On Evacuation Claims Fund

of Justice up to the time of final
congressional action on supplement
tai appropriations. This amount
was ultimately raised to S12.5OO.O0O
and passed by both Houses prior TO
adjournment even though the go
vernment had awarded more than
SIS, OOO, 900 by that time.
The Washington representative
said that he hoped to avoid a repe-
tition of last years difficulties. He
promised to concentrate his ener-
gies on the Senate appropriations
committee in the hope that his IN
fluential body would recommend the
full $8,O72, 696 to the Senate for APP
prevail
Because some differences are
bound to come in the House ana
Senate versions of the supplement-
al appropriations, Masaoka declar-
ed that a conference to iron out
these differences was inevitable
But, he said, if the Senate agrees
with the House figure on evacua-
ton claims, this item would not be
UP for discussion during the confer
ence.
He guessed that those whose eva
cuation claims have been compro-
missed and settled prior to June 30,
1853 will probably receive checks
from the Treasury before the end
of summer.

BULLETIN

Senator Nicely, Democrat, of
West Virginia, former chair
man and now ranking minor
ity member of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, announced
today he would sponsor a bill
to prevent a regulatory off,
cial from resigning to take a
private position on the oppo-
site side Of a public issue.
Public Utilities Commission
Chairman James H. Flanagan's
new job with the Capital Transit
Co. moved one Senator to OBJ
serve today that there was no
law against it, while another as
serted there should be.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee said that so
far as he knew, there was no
law to prevent District officials
from taking employment with a
company formerly subject to the
officials regulation. Such a law
applies to some Federal officials.
Hunt Favors Legal Bar.
But Senator Hunt, Democrat,
of Wyoming, a member of the
District Committee last year, said
there ought to be a law to pre-
vent such regulatory official
from taking such q private job.
He said:
1T doesn't seem quite proper
for a man to resign from a regu-
latory position and Immediately
accept a position with a COM
pany he had been regulating.
II am not insinuating there
was anything under the table in
reference to his taking the new
position" he added. "But I do
think we should have legislation
which would make impossible
such a situation to develop for a
period of at least five years."
Senator Case, Republican, Of
South Dakota commented also
that "Mr. Flanagan ought to be
in a position to tell the transit
company what it should do to
restore public confidence.
"It will be interesting now, {"
Senator Case said, ito see what
moves are made by the Capital
Transit Co. It will be interest
ing to see how Mr.. Flanagan's
familiarity with the public trans
portation problems which he
presumably must have-will be
reflected in greater efficiency
and better service"
Case Recalls Questioning.
Senator Case last year asked
questions about Mr.. Flanagan's
reappointment, and made use
Of a report made by James M.
Lands to the Kennedy subcom-
mittee Of the House District
Committee.
He recalled that Mr.. Flanagan,
answering some questions about
the approval of increased fares
at times when company surplus
profits were, distributed, had
said PUG could not have acted
differently under the law.
Mr.. Flanagan was confirmed
for the reappointment and Sen
ator Case added, But I was
never too happy about the re-
appointment"
