Dear DR.. Popenoe:

woman cannot please the
man? From the time we were

found fault with everything

I know that I am inadequate
in many ways, but I cannot
feel that I am as bad as he
seems to think I am. OF
course, I had never learned to
do housework. and this was
one of the things that caused
me trouble for a long time.
But he admits now that I am
100 per cent better on this
score. Of course, ! could not
cook either, and this, too, he
will admit that I now do much
better. But he is not satisfied
with my learning. He seems
to expect me to know these
things automatically. AS he

should come to you just to

CALIFORNIA STATE WORKER DENIED
WAGE Loss DUE TO EVACUATION

WASHINGTON (JACD-Rein-
forcing previous adverse evacu-
alton for loss of wages from
the State of California, the JUS
ttice Department issued new
precedent decision against the clsi-
mant, reported the Washington Of
flee of the panese American
Citizens League this week
The recent ruling was made
against the claimant, who had re-
quested reconsideration of his
evacua ton claim.
The C a m an had commended
that his employment with tn e
State of California as a civil SER
want was a matter of personal
property" and that his evacuation
caused damage to or loss of
personal property" in this regard.
The government alleged that even
if claimants relationship to the
state, whether contractual or stat
utory. should be treated as pro-
perty' and even If his temporary
exclusion from that relationship
should be considered a loss of or
damage to that property, the clai-
mant failed to demonstrate apart
from his inability to earn tn e
salar yappertaining to the posi-
ton that there was any measur-
able or significant economic loss
consequent upon his clusion."
On the second point in question
the claimant pointed out that he
had been suspended from his job
and, as consequence, had ac-
CURED the right to pursue a rem
edy which later resulted in his re-
instatement to the civil service po-
sition.
The Justice Department agreed
that the reinstatement was very
PROBABLY delayed by reason OF the
claimants exclusion" but con-
clude dthat the claimant had not
shown any measurable economic
loss apart from the loss of oppor-
tunity to do the things necessary
to earn his salary, which loss oc-
CURED due to his absence and re
gardless of any delay in the prose-
cution of the remedy,
The ruling also held that the
claimants exclusion did not cause
him to lose right to recover dam
ages from the State of California
but merely prevented him from
earning the salary appertaining to
his position and his claim for loss
Of anticipated earnings could not
be considered under the act.

why did these organizations issue

WASHINGTON tJACL) - The
JACL protested the recent reor-
ganization of the immigration and
Naturalization Service in a letter
to Congressman Francis f. Walter
ID. Pa, who is conducting eXecu-
tive sessions i'm a House judiciary
Subcom mittee on the subject.
In the letter addressed to Con-
gresham Walter, Mike Masaoka
Washington JACL representative
pointed out that the immigration
and Naturalization Service reor-
gan cation has resulted in reduced
service while causing increased ex-
pense and delay for individual ia
panese aliens.
Masaoka wrote we are very
concerned with the elimination of
the district offices in Honolul, Ter
ritory of Hawaii, and Los Angeles,
California, as well as the loc a |
offices in Fresno and Sacramento,
California. and Phoenix, Arizona.
"HonOlul, especially as one OF
the major ports of entry into h e
