the fact that it has not seen f1t

A Private Enterprise.
"In this State" Justice Eager
ruled, "the newspaper business
is in the nature of a private en-
terprise in that in the absence
of valid statutory regulation to
the contrary the publishers of a
newspaper have the general
right either to publish or reject
an advertisement rendered to
them"
Justice Eager said that all but
one court opinion on the issue in
other States have held that "the
business of publishing a news
paper is a strictly private enter
prise, as distinguished from the
business affected with a public
interest, in that it's publisher is
under. no legal obligation to sell
advertising to all who may apply
for it."

Editors Voice Protest
Over Effort 10 Curb
Atom News Reporting
By the Associated Press

Thee Freedom of Information
Committee of the. American So
ciety of Newspaper Editors has
raised serious objections to a
proposed new curb on reporting
atomic news.
j. Russell Virgins, chairman
Of the committee. wrote Repre-
sentative w. Sterling Cole, Re-
publican, of New York yesterday
that the proposal could deprive
the American people of their
right to know about govern
mental operations upon which
their very survival may depend" "
Mr.. Cole is chairman of the
Senate House Atomic Commit
tee. which is considering a de-
tailed new bill for controlling
atomic energy. One section pro-
vides a fine of up to $4,000 on
the conviction of any one who.
having received restricted data
and having reason to believe
that such information is re-
stricted data, communicates it
in any way to any person not
authorized to receive such data"
Prosecution Indicated.
Mr.. Cole has expressed the
opinion that this clause could
mean prosecution for both an
Atomic Energy Commission Off
cial who revealed restricted data
in a speech and newsmen re-
porting that part of the speech.
Mr.. Virgins wrote Mr.. Cole:
1--WE are apprehensive about
the construction that may be
placed upon the phrase having
reason to believe, inasmuch as
specific knowledge of what is and
what is not classified in this field
often is not available.
"We are fearful that the in
advertant publication of mate
rial received by a reporter in
good faith might expose him and
the publication he serves-even
all the members of a press as
sociation for which he writes
to the penalties of this statute.
Fearful Of Consequences.
"I am sure that it is not the
intent of the committee so to
imperil the press. But I am
nonetheless fearful that this
might be the consequences of
this section.
"Such a punitive statute is
open to objections on the broad
est grounds of public policy. It
could be instrumental in so in
timidating media of information
as to deprive the American peo-
pie of their right to know about
governmental operations upon
which their very survival may
depend"

Did you know that there are more
Nisei men than Nisei women in the
United States?
That's what the 1850 US. census
figure shows. And that despite the
fact that there are a million more
women than men in these United
States
Although the most recent census
was taken almost four years ago in
early 1850 some of the reports were
not compiled and published until
this year
One of these is a special report on
the general characteristics of Japa-
nese and several other nOnwhite
races The figure may not be as
accurate as they we're in 1850. due
to births, change of addresses, mar
riages, increase in age and deaths.
Nevertheless many OF the facts
and figures like those above that
are extremely interesting and re-
vealing.
This is the first time that the
census bureau has issued a separate
special report of this nature.
According to the last census. there
were 141,76S japanese in the CONT
mental US A report on Hawaii
statistics a year ago gave the num-
Der of Japanese on the islands as
1861 and thus at least 326, 379 per-
sons of japanese extraction were
living under the American flag.

This totals only al 1865, but appar-
emily information was incomplete or
the 403 others as they were dropped
in the age and sex chart.
1t was a known fact that there
were many more Issei men than Wo-
men in this country inaSmuch as
the men came to this country flrs
and many of them did get arount
to sending for a wife when 1t wa!
possible to do so before 1924.
However the totals of Japanes'
who were "a and under as of 1885
showed 81 1877 men to 5O,450 wome'
or nearly IL men for every 10 wo
men.

parents begin to worry about it.
Misunderstanding was blamed for den
