As another year begins. it ,seems more and more difficult to find time to do every tiling you want to do, and even tougber to do things you know you should do, but don't want to. This is a confusing way of suggesting that, as J ACL- ers, we take stock of our or- ganization and evaluate its pluses and minuses. Also that we look at our individual role in il, whether on local. dis- trict or national levels, and see if we cannot each put a bit more of our individual selves into increa.::.ing the pillses.

(hange sought to method to select county grand jury SACRAMENTO Superior Court Judge Mamoru Sakuma has joined the of jurists who bave broken with the tra- ditional pattern 01 county grand jury selection. Five of the 13 judges have asked Ridlard Didion, jury commissioner, for names 01 potential grand jurors to be obtained from the general roll 01 regi stered voters. Judge Sakum a said Ibe grand jUI".1 should be more representative of the entire community and less represen- tative of Iriends and acquaint- ances of judges. Traditionally, the judges themselves have nominated prospective grand jurors from among people they know and those recommended by people they know. A recent grand jury was composed primarily of Sacramento businessmen. Althougb the law gives com- plete discretion to libe s uperior court judges, they have ig- nored a suggestion in the law that cross.sectional trial jury lists be examined first. The strongest voice in sup- port of a cbange ha s been that 01 Judge Josepb Babidl. who has said. "There should be no automatic exclusion of the great mass 01 the population- but that is what occurs when we nominate only friends and acquarntBn"es of judges." S en.

SAN FRANCISCO - A unique service to ajd people of Ori- ental ancestry immigrating to U,e United Stales has been im- plemented by Japan Air Lines. The new program, estab- lished in response to the United States' liberalized Asia- Pacific Triangle immigration laws. is explained in brochures describing eligibility o[ Immi- grants, priorities in which visas are granted, and docu- mentation procedures. Through JAL's public servo ice booklets, printed in J apa- nese, Chinese and English, provisions .,f the immigration law are interpreted, summa- rized and simplified so thal sponsors in the United Slates understand how to invite rela- tives and friends to live here. Enclosed within each book- let is a response card.

Pan-Am plans new film on Japan; not intended to mispresent, olficialtold The study is planned to cover four years, with the prese nt g· Mnt underwriting the first year. UCLA's Ja panese America n Research project is now in its !ilth year. Its previous studies have been financed by grants from the Ja panese American Citizens League and the Car- negie CorJX)ration. SAN FRANCISCO - P a n- American World Airways is pliinning a full-scale film pro- duction on the new Japan in the near future, Axel Mikkel- sen of the Pan-Am distri ct traffic and sales office said this past week. The plans were revealed in reply 10 Consul General Tsu- tomu Wada's comment that Pan-Am's "So Small My Is- land" was "antiquated" (see Dec. 9 PC), Regarded as one of tbe most popular through the years . Mikkelsen noted that it has been Pan-.>\.m's practice when introducing the film that it is an older film on Japan which "hows the traditional si de 01 J1apan. HIt has never been our i.ntention to misrepresent the film or Japan ," Mikkelsen added. The same ment was made prior to the showing at the travel agent s meeling Dec. 1 at the Shera- ton-Palac:. About five years ago, this film was generally replaced by "N e w Horizons - Japan", which won honors at the Milan Film Festi··al. This lilm al,o "can bardly be r egarded as the very latest on Japan." the Pan-Am official said. Consul General Reassigned SAN FRANCISCO - Consul (kneral Tsutomu Wada, who headed the local Japanese con- sulate general for three years, ha s been reassigned to Bang· kok with rank 01 councillor and No. 2 man at the Japa· nese Embassy in Thailand.

INlTlA TING 1967

...

.: N fI)

A plaque dedication will be made in 1969 in conjuncUoo with the centennial progt'am being planned by thc Coloma celebration committee.

(Story o[ the colony and Okei-san was carried in the Holiday Issue. )

With a !1);ng trip to Cleve· land, a slop at Chicago en­route, and four successive Olapter Installations ahead this month. ·1967 will be ini­tuted in fine J ACL st;yIe.

Henry Taketa. Sacramento atlorney, made the prcsentatio attorney, made the presenta­tion at tile bearing on behall of the J ACL chapters in lhe area and local area booster groups, El Dorado Historical Society and several interested indiv1duals.

Although hectic at times. I am more than glad that the ollice o[ the President affords me Utese chances to get around, renew acquaintances and meet new J ACLers.

As another year begins. it ,seems more and more difficult to find time to do every tiling you want to do, and even tougber to do things you know you should do, but don't want to. This is a confusing way of suggesting that, as J ACL­ers, we take stock of our or­ganization and evaluate its pluses and minuses. Also that we look at our individual role in il, whether on local. dis­trict or national levels, and see if we cannot each put a bit more of our individual selves into increa.::.ing the pillses.

In concluding this brief in­augural column for 1967, may I extend the congratulations, and the gratitude, o[ the na­tional organization to the many officers wno have been. and "'ill be, installed to lead our 89 chapters in the year anead.

Let us enter this year with ~e knowledge that J ACL needs no New Year's resolu­tion but it does need fresh, imeginative t h-i n !N. n e , and members with the initiative and courage to keep it oul of l!1e rut of apathy.

GAKUEN CREDIT STill

AT IMPASSE WITH

CALIF. SCHOOL BOARD

LOS ANGELES - Actual ob­servation of classroom work conducted at private Japanese language schools was proposed by Dr. Yaemil.:iu Sugimaebi, president of the Japanese Lan­guage Scbools Assn., in a weekend conference with Dr. John Dusel, state DepL o[ Education coordina tor 01 for­eign language programs.

This may alleviate the pres­ent delay withholding public sdlool credit o[ Japanese taught at the gakuen. Sugima­chi said.

Also discussed were whether conversational aspects of the language be given emphasis over reading and writing and what basis examinations would be conducled.

method to select county grand jury SACRAMENTO Superior Court Judge Mamoru Sakuma has joined the gro~p of jurists who bave broken with the tra­ditional pattern 01 county grand jury selection.

Five of the 13 judges have asked Ridlard Didion, jury commissioner, for names 01 potential grand jurors to be obtained from the general roll 01 registered voters.

Judge Sakuma said Ibe grand jUI".1 should be more representative of the entire community and less represen­tative of Iriends and acquaint­ances of judges.

Traditionally, the judges themselves have nominated prospective grand jurors from among people they know and those recommended by people they know. A recent grand jury was composed primarily of Sacramento businessmen.

Althougb the law gives com­plete discretion to libe superior court judges, they have ig­nored a suggestion in the law that cross.sectional trial jury lists be examined first.

The strongest voice in sup­port of a cbange has been that 01 Judge Josepb Babidl. who has said. "There should be no automatic exclusion of the great mass 01 the population­but that is what occurs when we nominate only friends and acquarntBn"es of judges."

Sen. Inouye thanked for

Inouye, accompanied by Mili­tary Sea Transport Union oW­cials, visited ttle research ves­sel Shearwater here recenUy and was thanked by the crew for his pushing the hill which provides an additional 20 work­ing days vacation a year for federal civil service seamen.

The improvement brings leave time in line with the maritime industry and helps alleviate recruitmenl prob­lems.

SAN FRANCISCO - A unique service to ajd people of Ori­ental ancestry immigrating to U,e United Stales has been im­plemented by Japan Air Lines.

The new program, estab­lished in response to the United States' liberalized Asia­Pacific Triangle immigration laws. is explained in brochures describing eligibility o[ Immi­grants, priorities in which visas are granted, and docu­mentation procedures.

Through JAL's public servo ice booklets , printed in J apa­nese, Chinese and English, provisions .,f the immigration law are interpreted, summa­rized and simplified so thal sponsors in the United Slates understand how to invite rela­tives and friends to live here.

Enclosed within each book­let is a response card. When the petitioner in the United States completes the in[orma· \Jon requesled and sends It to his local JAL omce, the in[or­malion wi.ll be passed on to the J AL office nearest the eligible applicant overseas.

"The sociological Inquiry will look into dominant values, family and ethnic structure. community ccmesion, occupa· 1I0nal and residential mobility, and voluntary and religious or· ganizations-in short. into the cbaracleristics in all these areas that made the Japanese Americans unique," he added .

Pan-Am plans new film on Japan; not

intended to mispresent, olficialtold

The study is planned to cover four years, with the present g·Mnt underwriting the first year.

UCLA's Ja panese America n Research project is now in its !ilth year. Its previous studies have been financed by grants from the Japanese American Citizens League and the Car­negie CorJX)ration.

SAN FRANCISCO - P a n­American World Airways is pliinning a full-scale film pro­duction on the new Japan in the near future, Axel Mikkel­sen of the Pan-Am district traffic and sales office said this past week.

The plans were revealed in reply 10 Consul General Tsu­tomu Wada's comment that Pan-Am's "So Small My Is­land" was "antiquated" (see

Dec. 9 PC), Regarded as one of tbe most

popular through the years. Mikkelsen noted that it has been Pan-.>\.m's practice when introducing the film that it is an older film on Japan which "hows the traditional side 01 J1apan. HIt has never been our i.ntention to misrepresent the film or Japan," Mikkelsen

added. The same announce~

ment was made prior to the showing at the travel agents meeling Dec. 1 at the Shera­ton-Palac:.

About five years ago, this film was generally replaced by "N e w Horizons - Japan", which won honors at the Milan Film Festi··al. This lilm al,o "can bardly be r egarded as the very latest on Japan." the Pan-Am official said.

Consul General Reassigned

SAN FRANCISCO - Consul

headed the local Japanese con­sulate general for three years, has been reassigned to Bang· kok with rank 01 councillor and No. 2 man at the Japa· nese Embassy in Thailand.

Remarks to Issei

HOn the eve of the year which marks the 25th year since Evacuation, I wish to ad· dress especially the Issei. whose ranks are now last thin­ning, in regard to this History Project. 11'0 a group wbose life's efforts and aspirations were swept away and yet have endured wit!l dignity, I say that this scholarly undertaking embodies their linal counter· offensive in the truest sense 01 their tradition.

''The Evacuations cla1ms, the winning 01 naturalization rights, the progress 01 their sons and daughters are great steps, but they are in a sen~e material achievements along the way. No matter bow this project turns out, the linal achievement cannot hut be the Issei's entrance into the dia­logue of our nation's history and its meaning to tile future o! democracy."

Chuman, former national JACL president. has been asso­ciated with the project since its inception, and together with the late Ralph P. Merritt, for­mer Manzanar WRA Project director and one-time regent of the University 01 Cali[ornia, was responsible for bringing the project to UCLA.

The Virginia case involves the marriage o[ Richard Lov­ing, 32, a white construction worker, and bis part-Indian. part-Negro wife. Mildred.

In the past d5 years at lew a dozen states have repealed similar laws and in many in­stan<es the J ACL bas been among the groups spearbead­ing the repeal movement.

According to Satow, Orep Tepealed its mixed marriage ban in 1951, followed by:

Montana in 1953, North Da­kota in 1955, Colorado and South Dakota in 1957, Califor­nia, Idabo and Nevada in 1959. Arizona in 1962. Nebraska and Utab in d963, and Wyoming in 1965.

Involvement 01 two Japa· nese in Nebraska and a Nisei in Wyoming led 10 JACL­sponsored repeal movements in those two states wbile JACL officials were also prime mov­ers in the utah and Idaho repeals.

The Nevada repeal came aller the much publicized Reno marriage of Harry Bridges. noted West Coast labor leader. with Nikki Sawada of SaJI F'l ancisco in 1958.

The California case invofved a Ca tholic couple of mixed races. The state supreme court declared the anti-miscegena· tion law invalid in 1948.

90th Congress Washington

With the FIrst Session of Ole 90th Congress sched· uled to convene next Tuesday noon, Jan. 10, may we take this opportunity to express the hope that JACL members and PC readers enjoyed a most happy holi· day season and that the new year will bring much happiness, good health, and real prosperity.

As 1967 dawns, Olat familiar refrain, "what a dif· ference a year makes", seems to have more than usual relevance insofar as the Washington scene is concern, ed.

A year ago, President Johnson was riding the crest of national popularity, having used his legislative skills in the prevlOus session to persuade the Congress to enact an unprecedented Great Society program of social·economic laws. The Vietnam war, while irritat· ing, did not seem worse than it had heen for some time. And there were few who would have suggested that the President would be running behind several potential Republican candidates in "trial runs" for the 1968 presidential sweepstakes before the year was up.

A year ago, Democrats enjoyed a more than two· thirds (68 to 32) majority in the Senate and almost the same margin (292 to 140, with four vacancies) in the House over the Republicans, still shellshocked over their 1964 debacle. Under the experienced leadership of Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and Majority Whip Russell Long in the Senate and Speaker John McCor· mack. Majority Leader Carl Albert, and Majority Whip Hale Boggs in the House, the Second Session of the 8gth Congress appeared set to push through a "guns and butter" program that would provide the necessary funds for the war in Vietnam while funding and carry· ing forward the Great Society urban projects.

• • * When the new session convenes next Tuesday, the

same Democratic leadership will still be in command. But their Democratic margins have been reduced, par· ticularly in the House. In the next House, there will be 293 Democrats and 140 Republicans. with two va· cancies (one in North Carolina and another in New York). and in the Senate, there will be 65 Democrats and 35 Republicans.

As with the last Congress, the two overriding Issues of the new session remain the continuing fru· starting war in Vietnam, which has now become pr ob· ably the most unpopular conflict in American history, and the continuing need to irnprovl! the lot and life of the more disadvantaged and poorer equipped citi· zens. Once again, the basic question of whether t h is country can not only afford but will provide both "guns and butter" must be answered by t he Admini· stration and the Congress.

And , when the First Session of the new Congress convenes next week, JACL, along with most Ameri· cans, will have a special interest in whether t he pro· cedural rules in the House and the Senate will be lib· eralized, since the vote on these crucial motions m ay well determine the course of social and economic legislation for the two years of the coming congression· al term.

In the House, the issue is whether the Rules Com· mittee's power to arbitrarily and completely dictate the time and conditions for floor consideration of major and controversial legislation will be even partially curbed, as by the so·called 21-day r ule of the last Congress when the Speaker was authorized t o recol!nize committee chairmen to call UP their bills if the Rules Committee had 1I0t cleared t hem for floor action within three weeks after such bills had been referred for such clearance.

In the Senate, the issue is whether Rule 22 t hat requires two·thirds of all Senators presenf and voting to invoke cloture and "break" a "filibuster" on the part of a determined minority may be amended . Harold Gordon of Chicago. National JACL Leeislat ive Com· mittee Chairman, has circularized JACL chapters to urge their respective Senators to vote for a liberaliza· tion of the rule that has so long and so often frustrated the will of the majority,

Frying Pan

Denver, Colo. MERRY CHRISTMAS - \Vell. it was like this. We

ordered the Christmas cards. bought the stamps, checked through the mailing Itst and addressed all the envelopes. Then the roof fell in, and first thing we knew Christmas had been here and gone, and the card ' still hadn't been sent out .

Have you ever had the feeling that if, somehow, you could squeeze in an extra week of time inlo your schedule, you could get caught up with things? That's what we decided to do. We marle an extra week of time-well, almost a week of time-b not sending out Christmas greetings this year We sort of justified this breach of custom by telling ourselves that we'd be first with greetings next Christmas, surprising and delighting our friends thereby. if we have any left by then.

r.leanwhile. we're taking this means to wish all and sundry G very fine New Year, and hope your Christmas was a merry one. . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR - Thanks to the week of time we gained by the simple expedient mentioned above. we were able to make it to the lIIile·Hi JACL chapter's traditional New Year's Eve i_nstall~tion din· ner·dance. Thi used to be one of the bIg SOCIa l events of the community. Almost everyone. except the girls who had to stav home and cook the New Year feast, would be there. dancing and whooping it up and quenching a vear·long thirst.

This year the gathering was almost sedate. It was dominated by you ng folks, the older of th.e SanseI I realized with something of a shock that Alice and I were the otdest couple present. which made us feel more like chaperones than participants.

Where had folks of our age group gone? It is much too sad to think lhat they were 100 weary from the burden of the years to enjoy year·end revelry. Let us be charitable and say that they were overwhelmed by the responsibilities 'of home and hearth and. not having had the foresight to pick up a week of time, simply were unable to tear .themselves awar· .

Perhaps it was svmbohc of the changlllg times, and of the ew Year, lhat the younger folks dominated the gathering. 1I10st of them were individuals who had not experienced the trauma of the Evacuation, who had grown up in. been educated in. and are work­ing as members of a society that does not discr~lin. ate against them because. of race. Thus thelr Vle\y­points are bound to be different from that of thell' elders. Like any other organization that has been bog­ged down by lethargy, the chapter cannot but benefit from the interest, energy and ideas of a younger ele­ment. It's time for a change and we seem to be getting it.

INTO 1967-As this is being written, in another part of the house the television set is reporting the dismemberment of the University of Nebraska foot­ball team hy Alabama at the Sugar Bowl. (How sad Pat Okura in Omaha must be). The ladies of the house­hold, who have scant interest in affairs of the grid­iron, are busily dismantling the Chnstmas. tree. It has servea Tts purpose-weIr, become brittle WIth age and is shedding its needles in a most disgraceful ":Janner. And so it must be shorn (1f its baubles and the Wlthered remnants of a once·aromatic evergreen will be hauled out to await a final trip to the dump. .

The climax of the football season. the laYIng away of Christmas decorations. poring. over the year's first Frying Pan column are all remm r1 ers that the pleasant hours of the holiday season have passed and another year of struggle and endeavor lies ahead. And of opportunity, too. for us as individuals. as a people and a nation_

Who can sa\' wha t the year ahead holds in store? Good. we hope. ' Peace, contentment. progress. Good­\vill and achievement. Happy New Year, and many, many more of them.

Japanese Passover Since then I've orten wondered whether it was

Just a sly plot on the part of my mother to get me to save money as a lad. One of these days I' ll just have to come right out and ask the ole' gal.

Anyway, every "o·sho·gatsu" we were prohibited from dOlllg anything that involved disbursement of money, including at ten din g the New Year's Day movies . The professed reason was that whatever one did on New Year's Day fixed the pattern for the reo mainder of that year and spending money was not to be a pattern. Particularly since this was in the finan. cial climate of the late 19-30's. It was, in a manner of speaking, an Oriental "financial Passover".

• NON-KOSHER SEDER TABLE

The deprivations of this one·day "Passover" were relieved to a large extent by a Japanese "Seder table" h~avy laden with non·kosher, but delicious o·sho·gatsu dIshes: shrimp with heads intact ("May your longevi. ty be such that you will see the day when your back is bowed as a shrimp's"), pun foods such as "yoro. ~o mb" (for happiness), and the unforgettable seduc­ttv~ scen~ and taste of :'o·zohni" with melting " mocbi" which mIght be descnbed as "lead-weight Japanese matzoh cakes." Un like the reputed ephemeral qual­ity of Chinese food which supposedly leaves one hun· gry an hour or so after eating, a bowl of o·zohni will stick Oiteral1y) with you for days. And you know it.

EDC cIvil rights committee. said that reading of good book. will help members to under­stand and partiCipate to the human rights problem more completely.

Among the books she per· sonally recommended were "Arnerkan Dilemma," Gun· nar Myrdal; "CrisIs in Black and White." Charles SUber· man; "Th~ Invisible Man," Allison; "Dark Ghetto." Ken· neth Clark; "Slud;r 01 Middle Class Negro." "The B 1 a c k Bourg<>ousle." E. Franklin

And of course New Year's Day was an occasion for heads of families to pay their respects to friends and neighbors . So the night before the folks would make preparations, cooking, shredding and decorat· ing a pot pourri of delectable dishes. The Issei men religiously made the rounds to pay their respects, for I at each home there awaited some steaming "sake" which apparently bit the spot on a cold New Year's morn.

Can we Nisei ever forget (or figure out) our par· ents offering, with profuse apologies, this "somatsu­ua" (like heck!) spread to the guest who respond \vith a gracious compliment (deservedly) on the hostess' culinary accomplishments.

O·sho-gatsu invariably was an occasion for my mo­ther to prepare some fresh sea cucumbers ("namako"), that slimy, gelatinous carUiaginous creature w hie h , cured in vinegar, soy sauce and horse-radish is quite good-better than raw clams or oysters. Come to think of it, we actually have some of them in our freezer. Some time ago this creature was mentioned in the "East Wind" column and apparently someone reads this column because when I stopped in at the Oriental Food Shop in New York one day I was greeted with a three pound box of frozen "namako". With "sake" the "namako" is said to be quite good.

As the Issei head of the household would say, "Ake-masbi-te . . . kampai!"

Under 21

By Russ Oban. NIl'1 Jr. JACL ChIIlrrnan

San Francisco On tile last day of class,

a professor of anatomy at a medical institution, ask· ed one of his more brilli· ant students to help him. He s aid to the student, "You've dissected th i s body from head to toe." He handed tile student a pointer and continued, "1 want you to point out the sou!!" The student, being rather brilliant, said to the professor, "W i II you please do one thing for me first?" The professor an· swered he would. The stu· dent handed the pointer to the professor and said, "I want you to point out hon· or, sincerity and friend· ship."

The superficial things in life which one can see, feel , smell or hear seem to have little value com· pared to intangibles such as friendship , honor and sincerity. In our society today, one which Is ad· mittedly materialistic, we tend to look for tllat which satisfies our needs and de· sires. We tend to do things for the good of ourselves and those close to us but not for the good of aU. Perhaps the area of the community in its entirety should be looked at by Junior JACL and JACL.

The purposes of JACL, the Juniors included, are weU ordered and sensible. They give us direction and a reason for our existence. However. phrases such as "that which directly af· fects those of Japanese ancestry" seem to limit the scope of our organi· zation.

Naturally our first con· cern, and rightly so, is that of the Japanese American com m u nit y. However, we must branch out of an almost self·cen· tered circle and reach the outside world or the total American community. We should not be self·per· petuating an irLner circle to solely benefit ourselves. We must reach out and communicate and inform the rest of the community why we exist. We must, as Americans of Japanese an· cestry. help other Ameri· cans less fortunate than ourselves.

The Issei had a certain role in the American so­ciety, the Nisei another, the Sansei are now look· ing for their place. Obvi· ously (hopefully) it will be a role of greater partici· pation in the total com· m u nit y. Therefore, it might be expected that JACL will lake a more ac· tive part in lotal communi· ty involvement, not only on a national level but on district and chapter levels also.

Naturally w emu s t recognize the superficial "anatomy," but at the same time we must not lose sight of the existence of the "intangible" tolal community.

Well, 'til I meet my next deadline, on time this time, I would like to wish aU JACLers a Mer ry Christmas and Happy New Year'

More Kanji needed for

COOKIE FUKUTOME

HEADS D.C. JUNIORS WASHINGTON - TIle Wash· ington. D.C. Ju.nior JACL elected Its 1967 chapter oW· cel'S at ti,e December general meeting held at (I,e Baba resi· dence. Cookie Fukutome Is th. new president. Enjoying one 01 the best wrn­

ouls 01 the year lor a business meeting. U,e members also discussed new membershIp, a Chrlslmas dance, a service project, and plans lor an EDYC meeting to coIncide with the chapter installation on Jan. 28.

Teenager's goals TOKYO - Japan's current crop 01 teen·agers values hap­piness, lo.e and friendship lar above religion , success and patrlollsm. a survey noted .

The survey. conducted on 1616 high school pupils In To· kyo, had been compUed by the Tokyo High School Re­search Institute on Ethics and Society.

When asked wha t was 01 least concern to Ulem, the ma· jorlty selected retiglon, sue· cess in life, patriotism, power, good looks, wealth and rec· reallon.

Saturday morn ing, thore was a Midwest Dlstrlct Youth Council mootlnJ InclUding in its agenda-MDYC board re­ports, chapter reports, and committee reports. Also new business was taken up con· cerning thc SprIng workshop to be held In Detroit, March 31.,l\pl"i1 2~ the theme being "Tho Open Generation"; the EDC-MDC convention, Sept. 1· 4, which wlll hold a Queen Contest; and business concern· Ing J ACL recognitions, change 01 the llscal year. etc.

There was a luncheon held l rom 12 : 3()"2: 30. where Father Koklowsk.l was Ule m a I D $peoker. A presentation wa! made 10 Peace Co"JloS worker Ann Tomsho. by dlUe"ent chapLers which had earned money through various activi· ties.

The lorum on Ule workshop Uleme lollowed with Henry Ta­naka BS moderator. The dis· eU8sJon was very lnlormative and Interesting; touching upon points such as pollee brutality. riot •. housing condJtians, and some reasons lor discrimina­tion today.

That night was the outing. It was one 01 the most inter· e sting outings whi ch [ have attended. The dress was "grubby" since It was hcld at what appeared to be a re-<lone barn. There was a large fire in the (lreplace; groups were singIng, dancing and converso Ing. but more important, they were having fun .

All in all. I'm sure Ulat

everyone enjoyed the work·

shop as much lIS I dld. It was very well organized, and my congra tulations go to the Cleveland Jr. JACL. and espe· cIally Mickey Fujli, who did a fine job.

AS OUTSIDERS SEE JACL

I'm back and as . tated In my Inltinl column, I'll UI. our ncx\ lew meetillgs to report UJe impressions 01 JACL held by Indlvldual non·membeu as well as members whom I've interviC'Wed Ule past month and a balf.

The stormiest Interviews were held' with Nisei evacuees who still blame JACL for the In justice su!lered a.1most 25 yea rs ·ago. 1 lnltially planned not to disou.s lhe.se interviews simply because nothlng could be resolved or gained by dotng so.

After some second thought, however, I leel It may be belp. lui to present the Intervlews to th, reader not because It displays one extreme lmpr ... • sion of J ACL, but because II depIcts so clearly the tragedy 01 \Var-Ule loss and damages lor which there I. no standard for restitution.

These interview. (actually only 3) ran about the same pattern. We discuss my rela­tive youth, my neWMSS to the organization and the fact that I had until 2'h years ago lived In HawaU. 1 had, 01 course. explained belorehand that I was aware 01 his adverse lecl­Ing toward JACL and tl,at others had dlrected me to him because 01 his objectivity in diseussing this lee ling (not en· tirely true >.

start of Intervi_

Each interviewee began ob­jectively noting Ule hysteria 01 the times and Ule unenvi. able posItion 01 responsibllit;y which was lorced upon the JACL leaders-BUTI And theD be was off.

FRESNO-On Dec. 3, Central Calilornia District Council had its annual convention and the youth program turned out Mill with Uje exception that there weren't too many at the youth Session, but It proved to be ve r y interesting. National Youth Director Alan Kuma· moto and National Jr. JACL chairman Russell Obana were the ma in speakers.

On the subject 01 "lnterra· cial Dating" in whicb every· one participated, Steve Young was a guest from San Fran· cisco Jr. JACL. contrlbuting his views of how tlle Chinese take toward this situation. Alan and Russell also spoke on the subject olttle Jr. JACL. its bistory up to the present and why.

Other tentative activitie.s are a fund.raising dance In con· junction with the May Quarter· ly meeting bosted by the Charmes, Venice-Culver : a bot:ling tournament arranged by Ule Avantes, Hollywood; a work project camp in conjunc· tion with the August Quarterly meeting with North San Diego or Arizona as the suggested hosts; and tor the November Quarterly leeting an organi· zallonal workshop is prepared. The suggested calendar was designed to stress activities In philaDthropy. social, sports and service.

YeJunior Ed's Desk

They do not appear to have any specific criticism or com· plaints. Most 01 Ule'ir state· ments are broad, blanket con· demna lion 01 J ACL. based OD the theme ttlat the o"ganlza· tion was gutless and a traitor to the Japanese communlt;y. SInce ttlelr speech is short, It's repeated every few minutes and eacb tlme the blame and guilt 01 Evacuation rest more and more with J ACL. In the final ten minut... all of his statemenls are pretty wild aDd irrational.

There was 8 very good attendance from the newly started Reedley Jr. JACL.

* • • 1966 STEPS OUT

The week after the PC Holiday Issue proved to be one for catching up on lost sleep. Normally. we feel completely rested after seven hours and groggy the rest of tile day if we have nine or more hours of sleep. But tilat week. we stretched out for ten hours several mornings and fell asleep before tile 11 p.m. news on television. which we watch regularly.

So il was a measure of real satisfaction and reo la.'l:ation on Christmas eve to be able to attend the Christmas concerl staged by the County Board of Supervisors at the Music Center pavilion to hear Ollr old friend Yoichi Hiraoka of New York City on his xylophone and the L.A. Japanese American Philhar· monic Orchestra. Hiraoka is still the energetic master of tile wooden percllssion instrument. his mallets mak· ing music rarely heard on a xylophone. He intends to work out of Los Angeles later tilis year after picking up his naturalization papers tilis montil in the City.

Christmas. as a day for tile Infant Babe. proved to be one for all of tile young and young·in·heart. At our cousin's (l\iasao and 1I1ary Nagahiro) manse that evening. where the clan to which we belong on my mother's side gatilers annually. tile Sansei children outnumbered the Issei and Nisei combined. The spirit of Christmas was manifested by tile gifts for the chilo dren and grandparents, while the Nisei parents were apparently content witil exchanges of cards and greet· ings.

And it has become an annual joy to join the clan on my wife's side in San Diego over the New Year holidays to pay our respects to the in·laws and their cousins. in tile manner so vividly described by Bill Marutani in his "East Wind" column this week.

But 1966 really doesn't step out for us until our 1966 financial report is ready-both income taxes and the Pacific Citizen·s.

LANDMARK DECISION Between Christmas and New Year's, a landmark

ruling on school integration was made by U.S. Judge John Minor Wisdom of tile appellate court in New Or· leans, flatly ruling segregation illegal.

"Commencing witil the 1967·68 school year, in accordance lvitil this decree. all grades. including kin· dergarten grades. shall be desegregated, and pupils as· signed to schools in these grades lvithout regard to race or color," the 2·1 decision read. thus ordering the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare guidelines to school desegregation be carried out nation·wide.

"The clock has ticked the last tick of tokenism and delay in the name of 'deliberate speed· ... said the judge.

"We shall not permit the court to be used to destroy or dilute the effectiveness of Congressional policy . . . There is no bonus for foot·dragging." The opinion struck specifically at a common segregationist contention that the U.s. Supreme Court "does not reo quire segregation. it merely forbids segregation."

The national guidelines are modest, expecting 15 to 18 percent of the pupil population to have selected desegregated schools. The statistics for Alabama and Louisiana schools show only 110 Negro children out of some 59.000 attending former "white" schools. The total school population for bot h states was some 155.000. The guidelines also recognize free·choice as many Negroes would prefer to remain in segregated schools.

Now the charges of de facto segregation in the northern school districts may come in abundance this coming year in view of this decision. Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act authorizes the federal govern· ment to withhold funds from school districts practic· ing segregation. A storm was raised in Chicago last year when funds were withheld pending investigation of de facto segregation charges. Funds were restored after Mayor Daley had reportedly intervened with the White House. A clause written into the federal aid to education bill last year now calls for hearings before funds could be cutoff.

Significance of this decision will become more meaningful to Nisei parents who have children attend· ing schools which are racially imbalanced. we feel. On this note. we step into 1967.

• • AND THE NEW YEAR-1967

Taking into account our cultural heritage. 1967 is lhe year of the Sheep. the Goat or the Ram-or any other ovine mammal you wish to name. Our Japan correspondent Tamotsu Murayama. now an indepen· dent public relations man in Tokyo with offices in the Nakajima Bldg. at 7, 8·chome Nishi·Ginza on the 7th floor with Newton K.K.. looks at the year ahead in his report.

Tamotsu has faithfully contributed his Tokyo Topics to our readers for years. keeping us apprised of what the Nisei are doing in Japan. We hope space this year will allow us to carry more of his reports . . . And a new angle on Japan will be featured soon through courtesy of Jim Henry. a magazine writer who has been a pl'\'lduction assistant the past few months on lhe PC staff. An ex·GI who fell in love with things Japanese during his tour in the Far East. Jim worked with Sab Kido's Shin Nichibei and its succes· SOl', the Nichibei Mainichi. He has since returned to Japan.

In view of the anticipated increase in advertising Inch e~, we hope an occasional eight·pager will be possi· hie thlS year. The added paj!es will enable us to go into depth on such national JACL projects as human rela· tions, cultural heritage and program and activities. We also want to allow s>:ace for in·depth stories of chapter activities so other chapters may find them worthwhile considering for their own program. Pub· licity items will remain brief and placed in the Chap· ter Call Board.

Until this issue comes off the press, it really doesn 't feel like 1967 is truly here for us ... perhaps this is a way of admitting we don't want to be a year older this year.

"Agree nothing. Look. it somebody comes and grabs your neck and shoves your head in a dirty toilet bowl in front of everybody-y 0 u r mother t younger brothers, sis· ters. And then somebody comes. pats you on the head and says 'that's okay. the shame is theirS-J1ot yours, ' Does that make everything okay? Yes or no." (But that·s not ... )

"No, just tell me yes • or no .. does that make every· thing okay-because if you say yes I know you're JACL."

CONCLUSION

It is useless to use logic or reason in tills matter because their hatred of J ACL is based strietly on emoUon.

Again understand the times -the anguish, bitterness, con· fusion, frustration. You just had to hate someone or go out at your mind. But you couldn' t hate the Government who put you in the camps because we ""ere trying to convince every­one that we were Americans; we loved America. Besides it was useless and even danger­ous to try and strike back at the C30vernment. So you find something saCe to hate and very often it was the JACL.

This is, of course, an over simplified explanation to a complicated problem and I'm a little embarrassed to have presented it. But no matter bow inadequate the explana· tion, the situation as described Is for real and the tragedy is that it can never be resolved. 'That's why J'm so thankful for lhat wonderlul, magic Japa· nese word that provides an answer lor all such frustra· tions-Sltigataganai.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Dear Edltor: When It comes right down

to the basic idea 01 human rights the Nisei have no difli· cuiUes In understanding the issue. Through experience, over the past years, the Issue is not merely academic but immensely personal. Not only intellectually but emotionally we Rl'e drawn towal'd attempts to make this Idea a rcalit,y O1Ot only Jor ourselves but for all peoplo.

But tms Is where agree· ments end among NiseI. To Borne the phrase i'human rjgtls" have become some sort ot magicai sound in it-5e1C. 'They are so emoUonally oaptivated by the phrase that the invoking oC this magical sound becomes in itsell both the motive and the goal. They become pathetically responsive to all acUons taken in the nam e ot buman rights.

Others. and ! believe this means the great majority 01 NiseI. cannot embrace a sl~

gao, no matter how ideal, without first looldng into the manner in whleb this Is to be achieved. ~f tltis means pushing lor one\s own human dignity and rights by destroy· ing the same lor others, il 11 means vengelul striking out al the majority without caring who we might injure, then some how the method ha, completely nullified the goal we seek.

I believe it Is time lor NI· sei to increase the dialogue among ourselves, as suggested by Jerry Enomoto. I belleve we will find an amazing una­nimity oC feelings regarding the issue 01 human rights. J believe we will dispense with angry name calling and work to\vard finding an eClective metllod oC accomplishing the goal. ! believe that as Nis", our appeal Cor this crusade will not be based primarily on hate and resentment 01 the majorlty group.
