WORKING DAYS
The IRA report also stated that
the average refugee assurance is

40 working days to supply the re-

Because OF the Administrations
early processing of the relative

were documented and investigated
under the former Displaced Per-

the Far East situation.
Masaoka, however, said that the
new regulations in combination
with an adequate stating OF per-

program there and reduce the pro-

thtat shown in the Administrator

NEW REGULATIONS MAY HELP
JAPANESE REFUGEES

JAPANESE REFUGEES
WASHINGTON (JACL) - New
revised Refugee Relief Act regu-
lations that have just been pub
lshed by the State Department
may allow the issuance of visas to
refugee applicants in Japan. re-
ported Mike Masaoka, Washing
ton representative of the Japanese
American Citizens League.
Because m ny japanese have
been disqualified under the form
er restrictive regulations, Masaoks
mas requested the Refugee Relief
Act Administration to review all
applications which have been re-
Jeoted in Japan on the grounds of
ineligibility in light of the new
definitions contained in the reviS-
ed regulations
At the same time he noted that
the Third Semiannual Report of
the Refugee Relief Act Admins
travion to Congress reflects t h e
SLOW progress of the program IN
Japan and expressed the hope that
the new regulations would help the
situation.
CONDITIONS REFLECTED
The new regulations reflect con-
ditions investigated by Masaoka
during his visit to Japan last De-
cember. While abroad. he discussed
Refugee Relief Act problems with
the American consules general in
Tokyo and Kobe and with the Am
erican conSuls in Fukuoka and Yo-
kohama. He also conferred on To-
cal problems with the Japanese
Foreign Office, the governors II
Wakayama, Hiroshima, Fukuoka
and other prefectural officials and
Japanese refugees
Under the revised regulations
firmly resettled" is now redefin-
ed to mean the status of an alien
who, at any time after the oc-
currence of events which form the
basis of his claim to refugee
status under the act, has been es-
'tabliShed in a home under circum-
stances which indicate his inten-
ton and assure him reasonable
opportunity of remaining perman-
entity Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed as an exclusive
definition of the term firmly re-
settled in as much as the facts
and circumstances in the indiyidu-
al case must necessarily determine
the question of firm resettlement. 4"
The usual place of abode" of a
refugee under the BRA Act has
been REDEEMED to mean the "ap-
| plicant's principal actual dwell
ing place in fact, without regard
to intent, to which he Is unable 10
return because of fear of persecu-
ton, natural calamity, or military
operations, or because of the con-
sequences of a natural calamity or
military operations"
SINCERE INTEREST
I'VE are hopeful" the Washing
ton JACL represe
said, that these new regulations
will serve to demonstrate Ameri-
cas- sincere interest in helping ia
panese refugees by extending To
them the privileges of the Refugee
Relief Act. In addition, individual
American citizens who have pro-
vided assurances of employment
housing and against becoming a
public charge for the Japanese re-
fugees in good faith should not be
penaIized through harsh interpre-
tatiOns of the law"
/ The Third Semiannual Report
of the IRA Administration points
out that the overall problems of
recruiting qualified personnel and
the inadequate receipt of assur-
ances have been the major admin
istrative delays in the past.

Vets Mailbag
VETERANS URGED TO KEEP
SPECIAL CT DEADLINE LIST

Men and women leaving the
armed rces should make up their
own individual date books" of
| headlines for veterans benefits,
and keep them in q handy place,
Veterans Administration suggest
ed today
To help new veterans VA outlin-
ed headlines dealing with major
benefits for poSt-Korea veterans.
For special Korean CT term in
surance, veterans must apply and
pay their first premiums within
100 days after they leave the arm
ed forces
VA pointed out that some vet
Grams have confused 100 days with
four months. They are not always
the same. Four months can carry
a veteran past his deadline.
For Korean CT Bill training,
veterans must begin their courses
within three years after separa-
ton.
There are two headlines for com
pie ing Korean CT training. Vet
Grams separated on or before Jan
uary 81, 1855, may not train be-
You'd January 81, 1868, or eight
years after discharge, whichever
comes first Veterans discharged
after January 81, 1855, have I'M
til January 81, 1865, or eight years
after Observation-Disclosures is first.
For Gil loans, the deadline for
Korea veterans is January 81. 1865.
Deadlines exist for special ben
efits for disabled Korea veterans
such as vocational rehabilitation
training, permanent plans of GI|
insurance and grants for the pur-
chase of motor vehicles, but VA
urges disabled veterans who quail
ify to obtain dates from their near
est VA office.

old. Later when she little
girl grew up and fol-
lowed In her mothers teach
ing footsteps, she used the
dolls in making the customs
and dress of other countries
more understandable to her
pupils in a private school she
and her mother maintained In
Alexandria.
It was then that they de-
cided to complete the collec-
ton to include all the coun-
tries of the world as far as
possible. Today. it is complete
except for some of the
islands," Mrs. Douglass says.
Acquired on Trips
Many Of the dolls we're ac-
quired personally by Mrs.
Douglass and her daughter on
various trips around the world.
Several Of them were secured
through the cooperation of
United States consular officials
In the countries they visited
and several came to them as
gifts through magazine articles
about the collection.
One doll was the gift of
Queen Marie Of Roumania.
another was sent by the Queen
of Thailand and others came
from the governments of An
COLA Gin Africa. Zanzibar.
Lithuania and French Equa-
torial Africa.
Some difficulties were en-
countered in getting dolls from
Australia and New Zealand.
The New Zealand doll. a
Maori woman, wears a mantle
of ki-wi feathers, which gov
eminent restrictions made diff
ficult to secure for several
years.
Mrs. Douglass believes the
Australian bushman doll in
the collection, a little f1gurine
made from beeswax by the old
est known aborigine, is the
only one of its kind in the
world. It took the co-opera-
ton of an American Ambassa-
dor and three years to find the
aborigine who made it espe-
cially for her collection.
In time, the collection may
be even more valuable, Mrs.
+. Douglass thinks. She has
noted in her observations dur
ing approximately 80 world
trips that better communica-
ton and transportation is re-
sulting in the peoples Of the

Rare Doll Collection
Goes to CAR Museum

c. A. r. Immediately went into
action and authorized its L.
braian-curator, Mrs. Ethel
Duke Barrows, to acquaint the
membership with the offer and
plan ways and means to raise
funds to buy the display case.
Little folding paper box doll
trunks" were sent to the
CA. r. societies all over the
United States with the plea
for funds. The result was a to-
tai of $2,700 raised by children
and friends of the c. A. r.,
with which the museum case
was purchased.
Overhead Lighting
The exhibit case is moth
proof, dustproof and light
proof. AS an added precaution,
it is being placed in a part of
the c. A. r. museum away
from sunlight but where over
head artificial lighting will
show the collection to advan-
tage. There will be no lighting
inside the case, which has a
mirrored background, because
Mrs. Douglass fears direct light

If you travelled the world
over. you probably would not
find a group of dolls as rare
as the $4,000 collection which
will soon be acquired by the
Children of the American
Revolution.
The collection Of 500 dolls
is a memorial gift from Mr..
and Mrs. Macdonald Douglass
of Alexandria in memory Of
their daughter Kathleen and
will be formally dedicated in a
ceremony on April 81 at
CAR. headquarters here.
The dolls, amassed from ev-
cry country of the world over
the last 80 years. have the dis
tinction of being truly au-
thentic down to the last woven
fiber and dye of their cos
TUNES.
NduC W oIuCI
No casual tourist tokens. the
dolls have been made to
order" in the countries from
which they have come. Mrs.
Douglass explains.
The Dist will be a thrilling
day for c.. A. r. officers and
members for two reasons. It
will not only represent the
day it will receive the collec-
ton but the day toward which
the society has worked for
more than a year to make
room for the collection in its
museum.
The collection was actually
given to the c. A. r. a year
ago when Mrs. Douglass pre-
sented the Daughters of the
American Revolution with a
memorial room for the OAR
Museum containing antiques
her daughter had owned.
The c A. r. had no facil-
tiles at that time to display
such a valuable collection. It
thought so much of the gift
it asked Mrs. Douglass to keep
the dolls until it could pur-
chase a suitable museum case.
