from distance bases will be quar-
tered in nearby installations.

the parade stations, ITS buses
will work in shuttle relays. In
addition, 80 trucks will transport
the 82d Airborne Division
marchers from Fort Belvoir.

ply for naturalization, but 1t added
that persons who began court ac-
ton before the law went into effect
may proceed under the old law
Yoshida, because he served in the
Japanese Army, was denied a pass
port to return to Hawaii in Novem-
Der. 1852, but his Certificate of Loss
of United States Nationality wasn't
issued until Dec. %, 1852 and wasn't
actually received by Yoshida until
Jan. %, 1853.
However. Judge Mclaughlin rul-
ed that the McCarran-W Walter Act
cut off this simplified naturaliza-
ton procedure even though Yoshida
was not in the United States in time
to take advantage of it.
Yoshida served in the Japanese
Army from 1913 to 1916 after being
drafted. He went to Japan in l941.
Before returning to Hawaii, Yo-
shida served with the U. s. Army
in Korea without pay.
The attorneys, upon learning of
the decision, said that the ruling is
not final and will be appealed to the
Court of Appeals in San Francisco
because it is test case on a very
important point.
Meanwhile, Yoshida's suit under
the old law to establish that he did
not lose his citizenship is still pend
ing before the United States District
court in Hawaii.
