Evacuation Claims Rider Asked

WASHINGTON, D G. Jan. 27
(JACL)-In order to speed up final
determination of all remaining e.
vacuation claims Congressman Pa
trick j Killings oR Calif) last
Thursday introduced an amendment
to the evacuation claims law at the
request of the japanese American
Citizens League
The bills principle objective is to
expedite the program. according to
the California Republican from Ar
cadia who extended his remarks in
the Congressional Record" in order
that his fellow congressman might
better understand the problem of
the larger evacuation claims
Congressman Killings said that as
of Jan. l there were 1927 claims
pending for a total of 500, los, 227 80
Practically all of these remaining
claims he explained, are for consi-
derably larger amounts than the
So 500 limit presently imposed on
compromise settlements; several
are for more than a million dollars
each
"Since the amendment of Aug. II
1851 Editors Note: This amend
ment was also sponsored as was
the original bill by the JACD, ap-
piled only to compromise settle
ments of $500 or less, and since
virtually all claims that qualify I'M
der that formula have been award
ed by this time, the problem is to
find some method by which the re-
naming larger claims can be set
tied expeditiously. lest the program
drag on for years possibly for de-
cades,' he said.
The youthful Republican who
succeeded now Vice President Ri
ch ard Nixon as representative de-
clared that his amendment was the
answer.
1T provides a three-fold election
for all the remaining claimants:
First they may elect to compromise
and settle their claims regardless of
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1954-01-27

The judicial or Court o. Claims
alternative allows these claimants
who prefer to seek a legal determi-
nation of the validity and amount
OF their claims to 40 SO
Congressman Killings then ex-
planned the backg round of the eva
cuation and how the evacuees SUI
fered their property losses in the
spring and summer of 1912 and
thereafter.
AS a matter of fairness and good
conscience. and because these par
ticular American citizens and law
abiding aliens have borne with pa
tience and indicated loyalty the
unique burdens which this govern
ment has thrown upt'n them,
strongly urge thai The proposed lie
gislation be enacted into law.
As the only member of the Com
mittee on the Judiciary from Cali
fornia l am pleased to introduce
this legislation he concluded
Mike M 5saoka Washington JACL
representative said that the Hill
lings Bill was the result OF more
than a years research and that it
had been unanimously approved by
the various district council conven-
lions of the organization last fill
He also disclosed that not one of the
3 900 larger claimants or their at
torneys to which the proposed bill
was submitted for their considera-
ton last year objected to any sec
ton or to the measure as a whole

total of all compensate items there
of as determined by the Depart
ment of Justice; second they may
elect to have the Court of Claims de
termine the amount of their claim
and third they may elect to have
their claim adjudicated by the De-
partment of Justice as under the
existing law" Congressman Killings
stated.
He went on to explain: THE adj
ministrative determination propos-
ed is patterned after the compro-
mise settlement procedure that
proved So effective i'm the handling
of more than 5000 smaller claims
The most that any claimant may re-
ceive will be IS per cent of the COM
pensable items thereof. In order TO
protect the claimants interests,
however a floor of so per cent of
the original amount is stipulated in
the amendment If any compromise
settlement offered by the govern
ment is more than this so per cent
floor and still IS per cent or less OF
the compensate items, the claim
ant will be required to accept the
offer automatically. If ON the o.
ther hand, the offer is less than so
per cent of the total of the original
amount claimed the claimant may
reject the government compromise
and have his claim adjudicated by

prescribed regulations

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov.
l8.-The worst pain in the
world" is being stopped by a
curious new drug described to-
day to the American College Of
Surgeons.
The pain comes from q nerve
ailment In the face--tic doulou-
reux-fairly common after 40.
Attacks can last steadily for two
to three weeks. Victims can't
eat, or even shave. Some commit
suicide from the agony. Many
doctors agree with victims that
it's the worst pain In the world.
Surgery cutting the face nerve
has been the best remedy. But
that causes loss Of all sensation
in one side of the face, sometimes
leads to eye complications and
loss of an eye.
A fairly new drug, stilbami-
dine, seems to paralyze or some
how strike at the face nerve caus-
ing all the pain. 1t apparently
acts only on that nerve.
The clue that stilbamidine
might be good came after it had
been given to people suffering
from internal fungus diseases.
These patients after a time said
their cheeks felt numb.
That gave DR.. George w.
Smith, neurosurgeon of Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. and
DR.. Joseph M. Miller. Veterans

The drug has completely BAN
ished pain In Is Of the first l6
patients treated. DR.. Smith said
The first patient so far has beer
free Of pain for Is months. One
of the is has had 80 per cent
relief Of pain, but he may have
some other condition besides the
nerve trouble.
How permanent the pain-kill-
ing is remains to be seen. The
attacks usually come every five
or six months at least. Other
medical treatments haven't ex-
tended that freedom period much
more than six months.
Stilbamidine works in a curl
Gus way. Daily doses are given
only for the first IA days. After
a week. the pain starts to &c
away. but it comes back after
about two weeks. Then-with
no more drug given--the pair
disappears one to four months
after treatment had started.
Why the drug behaves this
way is not clear, DR.. Smith said
The drug can be taken by

Ap Editors Review
Devices 10 Improve
Newspaper Product
BY The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. Nov. 18.-The
Nations newspaper editors heard
today that major strides were
made during the last year in de-
veloping new devices to help
newspapers get out faster with
q better product.
Some Of the major technology
cal improvements and expert
mental work expected to lead to
new processes were reviewed at
a meeting of the Associated Press
Managing Editors Association.
These improvements. said a
report by the APME Technical
Progress Committee, will give
readers a brighter, more readable
product with illustrations in
color and provide newspaper ad-
vertisers a more attractive show
case for their products.
Some examples of effective use
of pictures in news presentation
were exhibited by Edward K.
Thompson, managing editor of
Life Magazine. Walter Lister of
the Philadelphia Bulletin, chair
man of the newsphoto commit
tee, presided at this discussion
Of news pictures.
Split on Interpretation.
At the first workshop session
Of the convention yesterday, the
editors divided sharply on the
question of how much leeway
should be given in interpreting
news events and in using infor-
nation from sources who refuse
to be named.
Michael j. Ogden, managing
editor of the Providence Bulletin
and Journal, said he took the
position the reporter must go
beyond the cold facts of story
aud provide the reader a de-
scriptive setting for the news
event as the AP did in coverage
Of the Mccarthy Army hearings.
"The reporter must act as the
readers eyes as we'll as his ears. -
Mr.. Ogden said. II would expect
a description of the events TO
be a part of the story. / am in
favor of thoughtful interpreta-
ton to bring the reader to the
sport where the reporter is to
get a full view of the picture"
However, he cautioned against
over-writing, and extending the
facts so as to destroy accuracy.
Taking an opposite viewpoint,
Richard Pourade, managing edi-
tor of the San Diego Union. said
Evening star., 1954-11-18

the reputation the AP has built
over the years of objectivity
might be reduced if it attempts
to become the source as well as
the conveyor of news through in
terpretive writing.
Mr.. Pourade said he felt the
news report was straying from
it's old course of honest. factual
presentation" and in an at
tempt to improve the writing
quality was attempting to dag
zle" the reader and appeal to his
emotions.
"The newspapers rescued the
TV viewers from bewilderment
by careful presentation of the
I'facts," he said.
II do not believe the AP can
be the source and conveyor of
the news and a merger of these
will cause the report to lose its
strength
/ The Associated Press position
in the field was outlined by Alan
J. Gould. executive editor.
Mr.. Gould said that in addi-
ton to it's responsibility to re-
port the news accurately and
fairly, the AP felt an obligation
to explain what the news meant
in understandable terms.
THE days are past when SUI
perfcial facts themselves can
tell the news" Mr.. Gould said.
"A story that is strictly factual
may be distorted, so that what
we need is not the facts alone.
We must also have the back
ground and analysis and as much
| understanding of the news as
can possibly be done"
