President Eisenhower signed an a
mendment to the Refugee Relief
Act enabling Peruvian Japanese to
adjust their status and to remain in
the United States for permanent re-
sidence, reported Mike Masaoka, Nj
sci lobbyist in Washington
Several hundred Peruvian Japa-
nese are believed to benefit by the
new law which cancels their out
standing deportation orders and
permits them to adjust their status
and apply for permanent residence
in the United States
Last year Peruvian Japanese III

areas requested Masaoka to assist
them remain in the United States
against Justice Department orders
requiring their deportation to Jap
ar.
These japanese were interned in
, the United States from Pecd during
World War II as precautionary
measure but the Peruvian govern
ment has consistently re used to al
low them to return to their homes
in Peru.
BY including the Peruvian Japa-
nese in the Refugee Relief Act, the
1856 annual immigration quota for
Japan is not affected, explained
Masaoka In other adjustment of
status actions under the Jmmigra-

Today an estimated 21.3l5 eva

Box tortoises will live for as long as

q story that one of them lived many
years in the New York Aquarium, and
would pull at the keepers trouser leg
at lunchtime for bit of sandwich.
In ordinary circumstances such a
tortoise will have no difficulty in living
on the land, but it would do no harm
to try feeding it with little bread or
meat at times.
The greatest help that can be given
him, however. viii be to keep watch
and rescue him from the middle Of

lures seem to have very little trafhc

Smallest NotionuI Cemetery

Along with other Star readers I al
ways enjoy your many fine articles on
historical America. In this regard I
would like to point to q. significant
error of fact made by John v. Hinkel
in his Saving Washington From the
Rebels" Sunday Star, July IL, l954).
MI. Hinkel reported that the Georgia
Avenue battle-ground Cemetery con-
tanning the remains OF those Union
soldiers who died in the Fort Stevens
action, a. is the smallest national
cemetery in the United States"
However, he should be referred to
the United States Military Cemetery
of Balls Bluff established in 1865. In
stone Enclosed site two and one-half
miles west Of Leesburg, Va, are inferred
six unknown and one known FederalS
among those who fell in that engage
ment.
Mr.. Hinkel is to be commended for
bis fine article, and it is to be hoped
that in the near future he will inform
the general public of this other en-
gagement at Balls Bluff, in many ways
fraught with as much drama and trag-
edy as the skirmish in front Of Fort
Stevens.
Frank T. Edwards.

partment's Civil War files show that

stead, to raise six companies Of fifty
men each and to dispatch these 500
new soldiers to the contested river"
don't think we can find higher au-
thority than Or. Freeman.
The intelligent reader would hardly
interpret my letter as offering gratui-
tous insult to Revolutionary soldiers
with whom had two great-great-
grandfathers under Washington, or to
the National Guard with which it was
a privilege to have lifelong association.
In writing of Washington at Fort Ne
cessity have no apologies for failing to
mention the Civil War or the secession
of Virginia, but should not be surprised
If some Virginian comes forward and
claims for his military unit today a
proud descent from Washington's LIST
Regiment - and possibly right down
through the Confederate Army!
AT the bicentennial celebration on
July 8 members Of the contingent Of
Virginia Guardsmen from Alexandria
were given the royal welcome they de-
served, because the people Of Fayette
County in my native Pennsylvania rev.

know its history.

without its individual designation.
Despite Mr.. Coulter's undocumented
assertion, this regiment was a volunteer
organization recruited outside Of the
militia.
I pointed out that the call for Vir-
ginia militia was Intellectual, and
quirk in the law was regarded by Gov.
Dinwiddie's council as forbidding opera
tons by the militia outside the colony
Refer to Dinwiddies letter to Lord
Holderness. March IL, 1754). What
might be termed an "isolationist bloc"
in the House of Burgesses further COM
plicated matters. (See Dinwiddie's let
ter to Lord Halifax, March IL, 1754).
Still snapper reading is in the Journal
Of the House of Burgesses, 1888, PIP.
181-185. A little study in the Library
of Congress and the Virginia State
Library will confirm this. Finally DIM
widdie wangled 10000 pounds from the
lawmakers and prorogued the Assembly.
DR.. Douglas Southall Freeman sums
up the situation In one paragraph in
Vol. of his George Washington, as
follows: "As soon as the 100000 had
been voted, Dinwiddie abandoned all at
tempt to employ militia (. With the
consent Of Council he undertook, in
