JA(L Supports
Package Deal On
Statehood Issue

WASHINGTON tJACL)-As the
House Committee on Interior and
lnsular Affairs ordered reported a
bill providing for statehood for
both the territories of Hawaii and
Alaska. the Japanese American Ci-
items League announced its sup
port for the legislation and urged
its members and chapter to write
their congressman to vote for it.
Following the 10 To 8 Commit
tee vote to favorably report the So
called package deal, Mike MaSaoka,
Washington JACL representative,
onferred with Representative
Clair Engle Dem, Calf, chair
man. and Mrs Joseph r Earring
ton Republican Delegate from Ha-
wall, regarding the Hawaii-Alaska
bill.
The JACL lobbyist joined in the
hope expressed by statehood adj
vocateS that the amendment pro-
posed by Democratic Delegate f.
L. Bartlett of Alaska will overcome
.he Presidents opposition to the
Northern Territory for national Sc
curity reasons. The Administra-
ton is for statehood for Hawaii
but against the same status for
Alaska The Bartlett amendment
permitting the President to set
aside 40 per cent of northwestern
Alaska for military defense pur-
poses was designed to win the Ad-
ministration's favor
Favorable Committee report is
just the first step The next big
hurdle will be the House Rules
Committee, a majority of whose
members are known TO be opposed
to statehood for either or both of
the two remaining territories"
MaSaoka said.
Unless the majority and the
minority leadership join in fore
ing the House Rules Committee to
Hear this legislation, it will be
pigenholed just as a similar bill
was last year" Masaoka warned.
He rallied opon the members of
the 88 JACL chapters in 80 states
to rontaht their respective con-
gressmen to urge them, regardless
of party affiliation, to demand
that their leaders in the House
secure Rules Committee clearance
in order that the members m Y
vote on the statehood bill. He de-
clared that a vote on the merits
of the combined statehood meas
ure should be the way to deter
mine its validity, not the prejudiceS
of a relatively few members in a
particular committee which has no
jurisdiction as much over the SUBJ
ject matter of the legislation.
The function of the Rules Com
mittee is not 10 judge the merits
of any particular bill but rather
to determine the ground rules for
its consideration by the members
of the House Of Representatives, e"
MaSaoka said. The House should
not allow the Rules Committee to
prejudice any bill for them, let
alone to pigeonhole it after a leg
islative committee has approved
it. The Rules Committee should
not be allowed to wreck the legs-
lative process

Claims Units Bill
Would Liberalize
Present Measure

LOS ANGELES (JACL) - Many
important liberalizations over the
present Evacuation Claims Law
are included in the draft bill OF
amendments Just completed for
the Committee on japanese AMI
erican Evacuation Claims, George
Inagaki, chairman revealed tn S
morning.
He said that the draft document
as prepared by Edward J. Ennis,
of New York City, counsel and
Mike Masaoka, Washington repre-
sentative, is now being circular
lied among Executive Committee
members of COJAEC and a final
decision on the language of the
bill to be presented to Congress
will be made this week.
Basically, the amendments are
along the lines presented in the
last Congress by Representative
Patrick j Killings rep, Calif0
but with notifications and further
liberalizations suggested by tn e
Special House Judiciary Subcom-
mittee that conducted public hear
ings on that bill last fall in Cali
fornia and by the evacuation clai-
mants themselves who have or =

The draft legislation provides

ministrative Procedure Act (Which

In addition, ella MS postmarked

OOPS, REA ASK REPEAL OF
RESTRICTIVE LOAN F0r 'iLA

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Power co-ops will get all the loans
they need in 1856 if a restrictive
formula is taken out of the rural
identification act. It's repeal is backed
by Rural Identification Administra-
ton, National Rural Electric Coop
erative Association, the Cooperative
League, and farm groups.
Basically, the formula requires that
REA loans be split among the states
on the basis of unelectrified farms.
Three states have no power co-ops
at all. This means that Congress must
provide more funds than it expects
REA to loan, thus resulting in an
artificial year-to-year carry-over.
Clyde Ellis, NRECA's executive
manager, told a House agriculture
subcommittee, April ID, that power
co-ops are now serving $50 of the
farms and they need to heavy-up lines
and build generating stations. These
needs aren't related to the number
of unelectrified farms. The formula,
he said, has kept co-ops in Illinois
and Colorado from building power
plants.
Urging repeal of the formula, Wal
lace J. Campbell, director of the CO.
operative Leagues Washington office,
said, 'The carry-over in funds gives
the impression that more funds are

Any possibility that Congress might

peared ended with the rejection on
nine major proposals by Rep. Olin E..

league had friendly comments for
only two of the IL recommendations
offered by the committee and in both
cases he took exception.
The significance of leagues criti-
cism of the proposals lay in his past
record. He has never been identified
with the ardent "pro-veteran" group
in Congress.
league, chairman of the House
Veterans Committee, set down his
criticism of the nine recommendations
in the committee report. He listed the

LILIENTHAL SAYS POWER TRUST PROPAGANDA
TURNS AMERICAN AGAINST AMERICAN

ATHENS, Ala NRECA)-For-
mer IVA Chairman David Lilienthal
returned home last week to deliver a
cannonade against what he called the
economic and political detractors of
TVA-"from the White House down"
Lilienthal, who was chairman of
the IVA from 1888 to 1916, warned
Tennessee Valley consumers that a
"cold war" against the agency was
being waged by its age old enemies.
Only this time, he said, the old enc
mics have the support of the Admins
tration "aiding and abetting" the
move to liquidate IVA.
Speaking to joint meeting of
Rotary Clubs at Athens College, Lii
enthal said that it was self-evident

that citizens in the IVA area would

added, "There is no way by which
your government nor IVA nor the

Dixon Yates can ram it down your

He said there is huge propaganda
effort to make the residents of the

Administration stop building hospit-
ais and close 10 of those it now oper-
ates. 1t also called for tighter con-
trolls on free veterans hospitaliza-
ton
When released (Feb. 28) the rec
concentrations drew bitter criticism
from labor groups and the big veter-
ans organizations.
leagues criticism appeared to have
killed off any prospect that the COM
mission recommendation will be ap-
proved by Congress.
PROPOSAL sUNREALISTIC'
The report, prepared by the COM
mittee staff, league noted that some
of the 10 hospitals the commission
wanted closed were almost new. He
said that if they were not used for
general medical purposes they could
be used for the treatment of chronic
mental cases.
He also noted that some of the
recommended closings would force
veterans to travel hundreds of miles
for medical care.
The commissions plan to hold hos
pital costs as a debt against the vet
eran in case he is later able to pay
was scored by league as "unrealistic."
The House committee, league said,
has seen nothing to support the
Hoover groups implication that VA
compensation ratings are
lnsound.

The Army Corps of Engineers in
1850 proposed the construction of a
multi-purpose project with high
dam at the Hells Canyon site. IPCo.
has had construction rights to the
proposed site for 40 years, but had
done nothing until the Army Engi-
neers proposed full development
at Hells Canyon.
The Truman Administration OPP
posed IPCo's plans, and interviewed
before the Federal Power Commits

forced the people of the Northwest

limited funds to prevent what they
call ga giveaway of the nations natu-

Low cost and abundant power sup

largest aluminium clay deposit in the
nation-which is necessary for ma

they are controlled by pressure
