cal year which is June 30. 1855.

Q BY BILL NISHIMURA

The fifth National Nisei Conven
ton of the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars held during February Is
through the % in San francisco
was a tremendous affair. General
chairman Frank H. Dobashi and
his committee did a remarkable
job in making this convention both
enjoyable and at the same time sc
constructive. Hundreds of dele
gates came from Gardena, Los Al
geles, jacksonville, Fresno, Sacra-
mento, Hanford, San Jose and Sc
attic, just to name a few
From Seattle representing the
Nisei Veterans Committee, Shire
KaShino, Lefty Ichihara, Joe Ma
katSu Harry Kataoka and Bill Nj
shimura attended this fifth nation
al convention.
The parley was well organized
and highly successful and success
full for NVC also. Through the CO.
operation of chairman Frank Do
baShi of San Francisco, the Seat
tie delegates were able to state
their business at very timely OPP
portunities at receptive audiences.
The cordial hospitality accorded
the above five was as warm as the
California sunshine which made it
unnecessary for any Of us to wear
top coats. We certainly apprecia-
ted their many kind efforts.
The highlight of the convention
was the stirring talk delivered by
the principal speaker during the
convention banquet at the Whit
comb Hotel Dr. Monroe E. Deut-
sch, provost emeritus of the Unit
versity of California spoke on the
Role of Nisei Veterans" d..
Deutsch, well versed on the sub
ject and a pioneer for the Nisei
cause, held the attention OF every
delegate present The standing o.

sion of his speech was we'll de-

WASHINGTON (JACL)- AS 13
senators and eight members of the
House of Representatives intro
duced legislation that would COM
pletely revise and replace the I'M
migration and Nationality Act of
1852, the McCarran- Walter Act
the Washington office of the Jap
anese American Citizens League
announced that the new proposal
would be carefully studied in the
light of the organizations inter-
ests and concerns.
The principal sponsors of the re-
vision are Sen. Herbert H. Lehman
and Rep. Emanuel Celler, both
New York Democrats. All of the
l3 senators except one are Demo-
Gratis. Most of the House men,
bers are also Democrats.
Generally, the proposals are 81
milar to those presented in the
last Congress by approximately
the same group of congressman.
In the last 84th Congress, they
were not even accorded hearings
by either the Senate or the House
Judiciary Subcommittee on I'm
migration and Naturalization.
According to the press release
that accompanied the introduce
ton of the Lehman-Celler legisl-
alton, the new bill would achieve
the following:
l. Eliminate the national origins
quota system
2. Eliminate statutory discrimi-
nations and distinctions between
native-bOrn and naturalized Am
erican citiZdns.
3. Eliminate present insubstan-
tial grounds for evocation and de-
NAL of citizenship.
4. Eliminate fractions and arbi-
trary grounds for denial of adm
ission to the United States.
5. Make a clear distinctio in re-
quirements for entry between Ia
aliens seeking permanent resid-
ence here, and (b) alien visitors
coming here for scholarly or scien-

6. Eliminate special immigration

ton ceiling of approximately

quirements of our foreign policy.
10. Establish statutory review
and appeals procedure in all cases

Mike Masaoka, Washington re-
preventative for JACL declared
that while his organization CONT
nues to maintain that the McCar-
ram Walter Act of 1852, particul-
arly those provisions relating toA-
slams, represents real improvement
over the old laws on the subject,
JACL as always is interested in an
even better law, if such is politi-
cally possible
"While thres are inadequacies in
the 1852 law, as there are in al
most any law, we must be careful
that these new proposals will act
ually accomplish what they pur-
port to do and, at the same time.
are in both our national interest
and of our own interests as per-
sons of Asian ancestry" Masaoka
said.
Accordingly, this office and the
National JACL Study Commission
on immigration and Naturaliza-
ton will give careful study to this
proposal in order to determine
whether it is actually in the inte-
rests of our nation and of our spe-
cial concerns as persons of Japa-
nese ancestry" MasaOka said.

Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY

Adequate street lighting as an
effective weapon against crime and
accidents in Washington is re-
Elected in statistics supplied by
Herbert A. Friede, electrical en-.
gineer for the District of Columbia.
After the new lights we're in

crime dropped so per cent, pedes-
trian accidents fell A per cent, hit
and run accidents 10 per cent and
speeding violations so per cent.

police survey shows that Of $3.50

Modern street lighting is gain
ing momentum in Washington as
a new approach to solution to the
growing problems of crime. ju-
venile delinquency and traffic ac.

This new line of thought is based
on the statistically-bac realza-
tion that a definite relationship
exists between lawlessness and
accidents and inadequate street
lighting.

Magnuson Acts
To Aid Florists In
Air 5hipments

WASHINGTON (JACL) = Sen
Warren G. MagnusonCD WashJ
chairman of the Senate Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee, has requested the Senate to
grant flowers. decorative greens
and other agricultural commodi-
ties the same rights in air trans
portation as are provided in sta
tutes regulating these same prod
ucts in truck and rail transporta-
ton
Senator Magnuson's request, in
the form of bill to amend the CT
vii Aeronautics Act, would remove
the existing discrimination against
air shipments of agricultural and
floral products by non-profit asso-
Citations.
Voicing bipartisan support for
the bill, Senators Richard l.. Neu-
bergerCD, Oreg) and Thomas H.
Kuchel(R, Calif) joined with Sc
nator Magnuson as co-sponsors of
the remedial legislation
MASAOKA BID
The bill was introduced at the
request of Mike Masaoka on be-
half of the japanese American Ci-
tizens League and two California
associations The Consolidated
Flower Shipments, Inc, Bay Area
tSan Francisco and The Flower
ConSolidators of Southern Califor-
LA CLOS Angeles
Senator Magnuson, introducing
the amendment, announced that
the bill would give to agriculture
and florists the right to ship by
air agricultural commodities and
flowers collected by cooperative
associations or groups and enable
them to take advantage of bulk
rates to the destinations. Fail
IRE to given them the same advan-
tages by air as is enjoyed under
surface transportation would be
unfair and was never intended by
the CAA Act"
The chairman of the Senate In
terState and Foreign Commerce
Committee also pointed out that
these flowers and agricultural
commodities are shipped in large
volume from Washington State,
Oregon and California by small
growers who band together in nom
profit associations to expedite
their shipments and to take advan
tage of the lower rates made poss-
ible. Most shipments are small be- |
cause florists must buy frequently
to keep fresh stocks on hand"
DIRECT BENEFITS
Masaoka said that while Nisei
floriculturalists and agricultural
lists would benefit by the passage
OF the bill a much larger number
throughout the United States
would also receive direct benefits.
On the House side, two similar
bills for the same transportation
equality principle have been intro
duced. Congressman j. Arthur
YoungerR, San Mateo Calif0 re-
introduced his bill of the 83d Con-
gress. This measure received una
nimous consent by the House last
year but arrived in the Senate too
late in the session for considera-
