National JACL Pre.ldent

I was impressed recently by a statement, appearing in lhe Hokubei Mainichi of San Francisco. by 1970 San Fran­ci.co JACL Chapter P rcsident and attorney, Fred Abe. Fred 's optimism, and fTank assess~

ment 01 where JACL should be, were what s truck me. The statement first appeared in the chapter newslelter.

He points oul the reality,

Fred Abe's Optimism

which tOI' forgivab le human reasons we Hnd it hard to ac­cepl fully, that Ihe "demise of lhe JACL as a Nisei organi­zation is chronologically and psychologicaUy inevi table". Fred goes on to say that , "The Sansei have arrived. Accord­ingly; unless our programs and activities reflect and rec­ognize this transition of the I&sei-Nisei-Sansei, the viabilily of this or any other group purportedly representing the Japanese community is \""holly Irrelevant."

Fred's philosophy as a C hap t e r President comes across loud and clear in this p assage.

UI see the role and function oC the J ACL as the organi.a­tion that represents the needs and aspirations oC all the Ja­panese community to the greater communlty-at-large, I believe our organization is sensitively committed to the proposition that people of aU races, creeds, and beliefs afe entitled to develop their con­structive lalents to their opti­mum, and lhat we will extend our time, talents. and re­sources in confronting anrl re­moving any and all social at­titudes and obstacles whicb IIl'bitrarily impede such pal'­t icination and development."

He pOints out thaI the San­sei need to be involved in de­cisions affecting the Cuture qua lily of their living. They cannot be ignored.

Also commented upon is the need to go beyond making the Issei the passive recipients o( our rttestimonials and acco­ladcs" (There is a place for thi s cerlainly) but to try to involve them as aclive par­ticipants in a way that might ~ive them added reason to live .

liThe Nisei have the lead­Jng role in this Issei·Nisei­Sansei play. With all our hang-ups, we have the sad­dled opportunity to counsel and referee the quest now in vogue of emphasizing a little quality into our quantity of living".

Fred ends his message with these words "Each of you (S.F. Chapter members) have m y support Uright or wrong" to play it "like it is", as well as what you think "it ought to be".

"I only ask thaI each 01 you play."

Beautiful! T think that we can project the above senti­ments across the board from chapter to district to nation­;:at, and we would have a solid philosophical base for JACL. This is oarticularly true when we review the list of specific projects rcfened to by Fred, which I have not quoted.

Piggybacking on Ihe above, I would like to add my own bit about the Nisei respon­s ibility, as well as opportu­nity. to ucounsel and referee". as it were, the transitions in life slyle, so orten traumatic. Also the Sansei responsibility 10 help us minimize the trau­ma. II must be tempting for activist and impatient Sansei to attack the monolithic and slow-moving J ACL establish­ment, 10 engage in the very flJ'hetorical exercises" against us that lhey accllse the estab­li shmenl of being limited to. and looking (or tho rejection and apathy that will juslify counter-rejection and renun­ciation,

There will undoubtedly be disagreements and. since Ni­sei still control JACL, conser­vative stances may orten pre­vail.

However. reasonable dia­logue will assure increasing rapport and more productive tuture joint cfTorts toward community actions and proj. cts that mean something. We Nisei must keep the JACL door open to lhe tuture, wilh the faitb that Sansei will not use the tactics of l'cjection and confronlation to break down a door that is already open.

When this appeal's. the lasl Executive Committee meeting of this biennium and my term will have convened. Hopefully we have made some decisions. and help sct the scene tor truly eventful and productive

Because of the uwhilc only" membership pol icy of the Elks, a 16-year-old Santa Ma­ria High School studenl. Solon Rosenblatt. decided last year not to march in the Elks Pa­l'ade as he felt it was wrong for a public school to abet discrimination.

His molher. Mrs. Millie Ros­enblatt. then extended her son'S efforts by asking the Pen­tagon to withdraw military supporl from groups practic­ing discl'ilnination.

Appearing before the Santa Maria Elemenlary School Dis­lricl Board on Mal'. 17. she declared a directive has been issued from the Dcfense Dept. to Vandenburg Air Force Base not to participate in the pa­rade this year as it has in the pasl.

The school board also voted to remove Ihe n arne Elks Youtb Bank trom the El Ca­mino Junior High band.

Que.tlon Defeated

The local Elks Lodge met Mar. 24 to ask the Grand (na­t ion a I) Lodge to drop its whites~nly m e m b e r s hip clause. Shimizu learn~d last week that the resolution for a change was deleated , though no public announcement of that action has been made.

(In Honolulu , Elks member Roger Dinwiddie who failed a second straight year to open the lodge to non-Caucasians reported his resolution was deleated by a 10~-27 vote, when it W3S presented Mal' 23. He now Intends to ,·csign.)

The fourth action was the public nolice by thc San la Maria Rotary Club appearing in the Santa Maria Tim e s commending the Elks lor its

community service and· youth program and urging the Elks continue their annual parade and rodco.

Dr. Ned Johnson, who fh .. t intrOduced the resolution for the Santa Maria schools to withdraw support of organi­zations practicing racial dis­crimination last October, con­tinued to press for adoption by the school board . He had hoped Ihe a t tern p t for a change by Elks would oceur unhindered and during thl! past 2', months sought to h a v e the resolution for a change made an agenda mat­ter. which did transpire the following week but in vain.

Understanding that it would be presented tor con.ldera­lion. Dr. Johnson openly com­mended at the Mar. 17 school board session those Elks who wdrk for constl'uctive change to remove racial discrimina­tion from theil' naional char­ter.

At Banquet

When a Japanese American Citizens League banquet was held at Sacramento's El Do­rado Hotel, it was the black descendants of uKunill (as he was known) who reprcsented thaI pioneer colony.

According to Akiii Yoshi­rnura, one of the Wakamatsu Centennial Committee mem­bers and longtime historian of the colony. the re latives of KWli were found quite by ac­cident.

"The picture of Kuni (Ihe only known picture 01 any of lhe colonists) was published in the Sacramento Union. We were publishing it to call at­lenlion 10 the centennial. Ap­parenlly one of his grandchil­dren happened to notice il and recalled it was his grandfa· ther!' said Yoshimura.

In fact, when Mrs. Geral· dine McWilliams ( K u n i ' • granddaughter) saw the phO­to she thought it was her de-­ceased Uncle Grant Masumi-7.U, Kuni's son. She was born shortly belore her grandta ­ther's death and had no clear Idea 0/ whal he looked like.

To make matlers more dif­ficult, the name Masumizu was, spelled quite differently. The family had Africanized the spelling to hMassmedzu,"

But the caption reveaJed enough to make her know the picture was ot someone in her fa mil y . and she sen t hel' d aug h tel'. M.rs. Clara L. Heady, to find out how the paper got it.

tel'pretcl' in the Sacramento courtrooms and "was the first to own a fish market in the city."

Trllingual Talent

According to Mrs. Fer n Sayre. Sacramento historian and originato)' of much oC the research on the Wakamatsu Colony, Kuni ro was a vel'Y brilliant man and very weil thought or. He spoke Spanish, English and Japanese,"

Historian Yoshimura. who lives in Colusa where Kuni is buried. recalls:

" When my mother arrived, Kuni was still living. During that time Kuni served as in­terpreter for the Japanese. My motber said Kuni had taken her to the doctor and served as interpreter. I'm sure he did this for a lot ot people."

The Masumizu descendants, who look and have always considered themselves Negro. say they have no identifica­tion with the Japanese com­munity.

Elebeck. who knows a num­ber of Japanese in the area from his school days. says he has more contact than any­one, but he indicated that this was casual. Still he is hon­ored thaI his grandtather es­lablished the only known link with the Wakamatsu Colony.

Looked Like an Indian

"You couldn't very we11 tell my grandfather was Japanese until you looked close at him or talked to him He lookcd more like an Indian." Elebeck said.

Elebeck a 1 s 0 remembers some oC the hard times the Japanese had later, although he denics his grandfather ever suffered any discrimination.

Elebeck bolieves that he personally and the Negro gen­erally have a lways received fair trca tment from the Japa­nese.

"Japancse have never been prcJudiccd against Negroes in California that 1 kno\" of," he said,

Kuni outlived them both. However, Okei, who died at 19, became a legend which came to symbolize the short existence 01 the colony In the new land.

Kuni, un til recently, had been nearly forgotten.

Kuni 's ·Wife, Carrie

Carrie, Kuni 's wiCe, made evcn less of an impact on his­tory. One of the few historical accoun 1s of her comes from a book written by German bis­torian, Dr. Kurt Meissner,

IlKuni's Negro wife only knew to explain that when her first child was born , a young girl came out from lhe hills and gave the baby a piece of clothing as a present.

hThis girl must have been Okei-san who wanted to make a present for her h'aveling companion and old friend Ku­nj, According to J apanese custom a congratulation gift is given to the first born. Not much later Okei-san died."

According to Elebeck, who says he is aboul to start legal action to regain his grand­parent'5 lost properly in Co­lusa, he has possession ot a map which Carrie told him Jl'larkcd a vein of gold.

Kuni, he said, because ot I a w s prohibiting Orienlals IrOn) having mining rights, fina lly blew up lhe mine.

However, the family moved and eventually lost control of lhe property, he said.

The Masumizll blood. ot course, a lso flows through Elebeck's two sons and the children of his two sisters and brother.

And HalTY Masumizu, Ele­beck's uncle, has a daughter Juanita Wong, who has two sons.

But lhe youth . tOI' the most part. know nothing ·of their ~l'eal grandfather 01' his cul­lUre. And though their blood is a composite ot many ethnic groups. their involvement js

ONTARIO, Ore. - People 01 the United States are so pre­occupied with consumption and production that they for­get what the effect will be upon our environment. Fred Nishimura told the Ontario branch o! the American As· sociation oC University Wom­en recently.

Title II Hearings

Friday, April 10, 1970

. This week, IS the Congress returned fro m it.:; trad i· tional Easter recess, and as the House Internal Secur· ity <,::ommittee (HlSC) plans to resume its hearings on ~prtl 20 of . legislation to repeal the Emergency Deten· bon Act, Title n of the Internal Securitv Act of 1950 ~ t might be well to review the congress'ional s ituatio~ lnsofar as this particular issue is concerned.

Last December 22, 1969, the Senate passed without objection S. 1872 with certain amendments. S. 1872 was introduced by Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii and 26 co-sponsors. As amended, the so-called findings concerning the Communist party and its conspiracy are retained in Title n, but the substantive or imple­menting sections were all repealed. In other words, though the reasons for having passed Title IT in the first instance are left in the law, the provisions author­izing emergency detention and emergency detention camps are repealed.

The amended S. 1872 is presently pending in HlSC. So too are H.R. 11825 and similar bills introduced

by Congressmen Spark Matsunaga of Hawaii and Chet Holifield of California and some 125 of their colleagues in the H 0 use of Representatives. These bills are worded identically lvith the original S. 1872 bill be­fore it was amended and passed by the Senate late last year .

There is n ope t hat no t ~ o m a n y m o re members

of the Congress who co-sponsored H.R. 11825 and similar bills will insist upon their prerogative of being heard regarding their respective interest. There is also hope that not many more of the 500 or so organizations endorsing the r epeal effort will request the opportu­nity to testify on this legislation.

While it is good to develop a strong record and persuasive case for repeal, it should :lIso be kept in mind that if the hearings are continued until late in the session, HISC may not have the time to consider a bill and to report it prior to adjournment.

If the public hearings can be completed by the end of April at the latest, there is a relatively good chance that HISC will be able to consider and report out some bill relating to repeal, if it so desires. Unfortunately, ~SC does not give this repeal campaign the priority It does to several other matters, including the Black Panthers, subversive influence on college and univer­sity demonstrations, Communist inspiration of vio­lence, etc. , so there is the possibility that regardless of wben the public hearings are concluded no action may be taken on measures to abolish the concentra­tion camp authorization proviso.

• Following the completion of the public hearings,

HISC may take any of the following actions on repeal legislation:

1. It may decide not to take any action on any of the repeal bills, thereby effectively killing the legisla­tion for the year in the absence of congressional ma­neuvers to either force the Committee to report the bill or to arrange for its consideration on the floor under special parliamentary procedures.

2. It may decide to report the amended Senate hill, S. 1872.

3. It may decide to report H.R. 11825 as intro­duced.

4. It may decide to amend H.R. 11825 in a manner not comparable to Senate action on S. 1872.

PJ:obably any bill reported by HISC to repeal Title IT w1ll have to be cleared for House debate and vote by the Rules Committee because of its controversial contents. Since Congressman Matsunaga is a ranking member of this powerful unit, depending upon the bill reported by HISC, the bill may be subject to an "open" rule, which would allow amendments from the floor. 1£ a "closed" rule is granted, no floor amendments will be considered and the House will have to vote for, or against, the Committee proposed measure.

Ideally, HISC will report S. 1872 as amended and passed by the Senate. And the House Rules Committee will grant the legislation a "closed" rule that would prevent any amendments being offered on the floor during debate.

If, however, HISC reports out H.R. 11825 as it was introduced last summer, or H.R. 11825 \vith amend­ments of its own, it would be hoped that an "open" ru le would be granted by the Rules Committee. It would also be hoped that an amendment substituting S. 1872 as amended would be offered and approved by the House during floor consideration.

If the House and the Senate pass identical bills, that legislation would then go to the White House where a presidential signature would cause it to be· come law.

If the House passeG a bill d ifferen t from the one approved by the Senate last December. what is feared is that in Conference the Senate conferees may pro· I pose and the House conferees accept , or vice versa, amendments to the repeal of Title n that would make S. 12. the Internal Security Act of 1970. and or H.R. 14864, the Defense Facilities and Industrial Security I Act of 1970, part and parcel of the repeal legislation.

In such an eventuality, JACL would only have the alternatives to urge defeat (rejection) of the Confer· ence Report. to return the Conference Report to the Conference Committee with instructions that the can. , ference Committee report the Senate amended S. 1872.

For JACL believes that the addition of either, or both. the Internal Security Act of 1970 or the Defense Facilities and Industrial Security Act of 1970 is "too higb" a price to pay even for the much desired repeal of Title II of the 1950 Internal Security Act.

He t a I k s Uke a third ,rader, who thinks the good guy wears white, a nd conquers those e vil doers. Just what does he think are "the torces of good'"

He 13 ob\llously being ambtgu· ous: one can't tell whether he is implying, on one band. that the ·'forces of good" are the J apa­n ese, or the Chicago power struc .. ture. Any way one looks at it, the whole ambiguity implies ab~ solute obed ience to an arbitrary

High School, testilylng belore • Stale House commiUee Mar. l S, estimated that 70 per cent 01 the student body has ex­perlmenled wi I h drugs.

The Spartan Beat Mas Manbo

Pride of Hawaii

TOKYO - Several sports In Japan. pro and amateur, have loreign perlormers and the best known 01 them all is big Jesse Kuhaulua, sumo pride 01 Hawai i.

The Maul giant. who is Takamiyama on the banzuke ot sumo list, was just another teen-aged sumo aspirant when he came to Japan in February 1964. Today, bowever, his lace Is famlliar to one and all the length and breadth 01 the country.

Mter all, Jesse appears on televisIon 90 times a year \vith all eyes on him-in 15 bouts

.... In each ot six tournaments.

... In ,Jlddition, he is seen in TV eommettials off and on. one of the latest was a plug for Hula brand potato chips. And wo would make a better ad tor a product with that name than Jesse?

Jesse has been WTestling as a Komusubi, the fourth high­est rank, in major league su­mo in the last three tourna­ments. He faces demotion as he lalled to gel over the Ka­chikoshi hump (at least eight wins in his 15 bouts) In the spring tournament in Osaka in March.

However, the Hawaiian boy can be expected to bounce back agaln - perhaps as far as pzeki. some experts say. Ozeki Is the second highest rank, next to yokozuna.

Besides Jesse, who Is about 6 leet 4 and weighs more than

'" 350 pounds, there are a hal!­~ dozen other boys from abroad

making a bid for sumo lame. They are slill I.n the low min­ors and have yet to gain the JllYTO division, sumo's TrIple A league. . . .

G21J1u Baseball Playe ..

In pro baseball, there are around 15 reluforcements from abroad so lar with a lew more expected.

Best known 01 the gaJjin players could be Dave Roberts and Bob Chance, the brO\vo bolltbers ot the Yakult Atoms 01 the Central League.

Both are expected to give the Yomiuri Giants' Sadabaru Oh, eighl-time home run champ, plenty 01 competition 10r homer honors.

Well liked by their team­mates, the two are models 01 deporbnent. Instead 01 return­Ing Stateside In the olfseason, these two players stay in Ja­pan \vith their wives and chil­dren.

Roberts reportedly even en­rolled In a Japanese unlver­ity last year. He takes part

Comeback lor FujI In pro boxing, Hawaiian

Paul Fuii, who does most 01 his fighting in Japan, is on the comeback trail alter losing the world junior welterweIght tiUe to Nicollno Locche 01 Ar­gentine in December 1965.

Fuji. who s e popularity plummeted after that deleat, got back in the KO groove early in March with a thlrd­round knockout win over Suk Kyu Park, South Korea 's No. 2 junior welter.

Also in Japanese pro box­ing is George Carter, 33, an American Negro service.man stationed here who captured the Japan junior middleweight title early in February from Koich! Wajima. . .

Soccer and Bockey

In amateur soccer, the Yan­mar DIesel Co. team 01 the Japan Soccer League bas two Brazillans, Nelson Yoshimura, who is of Japanese parentage, and Carlos Esteves.

Yoshimura, 22, however. won't be a foreigner very long. He has taken steps to take out Japanese citizenship and will be playing On Japan's national team in olflcial matches. He ha. already been playing on one ot Japan's all-star squads jn an unofficial meet her e \vith teams trom Br3%ll and Sweden partIcIpating.

In ice hockey, the Waka­bayashi brotHers !rom Canada, Mel, 26. and Herb, 24, have lifted the Seibu Railway Co. leam of Tokyo into one 01 J a­pan's top sextets. Mel, who has been with Seibu lor three season., was jOined by Herb last year. Both were All­America picks in U.S. collegi­ate hockey.

Seibu finished second in the Japan Ice Hockey League in the past seaSOn and was the only team to hand the champ­ionship club. Ojl Paper, a de­feat. The two Wakabayashis were among the lop I i v e point-makers In the loop.

Selbu won the Kanto championship lor the third time this year and in Marcb whipped Oji Paper 10-4 to win the All-Japan championship meet for the first lime. The Wakabayashi boys scored lour goals belween them in the finaJ game with Oji Paper and made four assists.

Japanese hockey otlicials are itching to have the Waka­bayashis become Japanese citizens so they can play tor Japan's national team in the Sapporo Olympics in 1972.

• • • FINANCIAL SUMMARY AND PROJECTIONS

To prepare for the 1970 JACL Convention, it is customary that we provide a financial statement and a budget. This being the end of a decade, our 10·year summary with additional projections looks like this:

income Expen~e eire. PalU Cos!. p/Yr

For the 1968 Convention proposal, we had a budget of $89,000 in expenses and the same amount in an· ticipated income for 1970. Because of the. increases in mailing, presswork costs and staff salarIes durmg 1969, adjustments have been made for the 1970 esti· mate. The amount of increase between 1968 and 1969 can be assessed by referring to the column at the ex· treme right (Cost per Year to have the PC printed, subscriptions processed and papers maiJed). There was a 40 cents jump. TIns has been projected with the an· ticipated increases in 2d class postage for the subse· quent biennium (1971,73).

The PC Soard is on record to recommend an in· crease in the subscription rates. The non· member rate is being raised from $5 to $6 a year effective June 1, 1970. The single copy price will be increased from 10 to 15 cents on regular issues, from 40 to 50 cents for the Holiday lssue. Non·members wishing to take advantage of the present $5 a year rate may do so by remitting that amount immediately.

The PC Board regrets having to raise the subscrip· tion rates but with the costs of paper, processing sub· scriptions and mailing having gone up this past year, there was no other alternative.

The other avenue of meeti ng increased costs would have been to disturb the present ratio of advertising and reading matter, which is one·inch of advertising for every two·inch of reading matter.

. On the occasions when advertising is heavier than usual, as readers are already aware, the number of pages is increased to maintain the advertising·news copy ratio. The projections on the number of pages, fiXed at 378 (12 weeks at 8 pages, 37 weeks at 6 pages, and 60·page Holiday Issue), of course, is subject to change if advertising for a given week is heavier than usual. "Heavier than usual" means at least 400 inc)1es of advertising per issue. In a 6'page issue, 400 inches means 40% advertising; in an 8·pagers, it's about 30%, which conforms to the desirable ratio. if ever 550 inches come, it could mean PC's first 10·pager.

• • By this report, we also put the chapters on notice

that JACL subscribers ought to expect an increase in their rate from $2.50 to $3-equivalent to a 10 cent in· crease per year since the $2.50 was established in 1966, which seems nominal enough.

A detailed budget proposal will be issued to the chapters in the near future so that full discussion at upcoming district meetings may be possible. . . .

STRANGER THAN FICTION

"Mission Impossible" would have rejected the in· credible circumstances dramatized this past week by 15 students who hijacked a Japan AirLines plane to North Korea. Heretofore, hijacking was a solo ven· ture-but the self·styled "Red Army" of nine young men managed to escape detection of the Japan police, who have foiled the plans of radicals in the past. A stunned Japan sat glued to its TV sets watching live the dramatic five hours while that plane was on the ground at Itazuke Air Base near Fukuoka.

The other amazing chapter transpired when the plane touched down at Seoul's Kimpo airport, made to look like the North Korean airstrip-only it lacked North Korean flat's and a huge picture of its premier Kim II·Sung. Finally, the plane took off with two Japa· nese officials as hostages in exchange for 100 passen· gers ;\l1d its weary crew.

While the hijacking happened at a bad time when Expo '70 is attracting hordes of visitors, we wonder now if an equally fantastic finale is forthcoming with Japanese electronic experts devising a system to screen passengers more effectively. The Iniackers were armed with pistols, swords, knives and what looked like iron·pipe homemade explosives.

For J AL, it's one historic episode that its chronic· leI'S would prefer to forget unless it spawns a guaran· teed detection system.

Salt Lake City As we approach the time for

the 21st National J ACL Con­vention in Chicago J u I y 14 t1ll'ough the 18, the main top­ics of discussion I see through the ·Pacific Citizen, the IDC and Board meetings and in­dividual conversations, centers on how far JACL should be­come involved with current national trends of civil strife (racial and disadvantaged in-

equality in all areas), youth unrest, foreign relations and environmental poll u ti 0 n. These are the topics which will be emphasized at the con· vention and will set the tone for the biennium following.

JACL can serve a most use­ful function for a ll persons 01 Japanese extraction where no other organizaliorl can by it­sell, because it makes no dis­tinction regardjng political, religious, occupational, cul­tural or any other afliliation. It serves tbem all. It olfers dignity and equality through legislative appeals, cultural and recreational pursuits, group health and accident in­surance, scholarships. local chapter functions and many other bonuses too numerous to mention here.

Should we as an organi­zation just be concerned witb subjects pertaining to Japanese, content to sit baok and not rock the boat, feel that wbat concerns areas outside tbis region does not affect us, that we are so as­similiated on the main­stream of sooiety that we have no problems of any kind, or should we function just as a social group?

All chapters have been I 'C­

quested to lill in detailed questionnaires compiled by the National Planning Comis­sian covering community serv­ices, youth, civil and human rights, political activities, ed­ucation, economics. local chap­ter services, memberships, finances, personnel and Jr. JACL.

Unde.r each topics are listed questions that cover needs, in­volvement, contributions, pro­motions, opportunitties, com­munications, participation and myriads of other questions. II anyone has any ideas or sug­getions regarding how to bet­ter our JACL, in what direc· tion it should go, or have any comment on any or the fore­going topics, J would appreci­ate them.

These comments will be for­warded to Kumeo Yoshinali. Planning Commission Chair­man.

MI'. Yoshinari will need the time from now till convention lime to sift through the ex­pected deluge of suggestions to come up with meaningful dia­logue to present to the dele­gates at the convention.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

On drug abuse Editor:

The lollowing is being writ­ten in order to clarify an art­icle (PC, Mar. 13) which has appeared in several Japanese newspapers recenUy in refer­ellce to talk which I gave to the Women's Auxiliary of the San Francisco J ACL on Feb. 20. Basically, I feel that I was misquoted out of context and as such, the report o( my speech is almost totally dis· torted, and I oller the follow­ing in clarification ot state­ments attributed to me.

First of all, I did not say that "Politics is the cause tor the use of drugs for Asian American kids." In fact, I don't even know where that particular statement came from unless it was an attempt at paraphrasing some general comments relative to the pre­sent social atmosphere in which Asian children are a part.

What I tried to indicate was that Asian children are caught in a social atmosphere 01 stu­dent revolution in which every Cacet of society is being ex­amined, questioned. and chal­lenged . Traditionally, Asian parents have attempted to keep their children screened off from this type of explora· tion in order to maintain the status quo. Asians have be­come 200% American and in the process have allowed their Asian identity to slip away, hoping to totally assimilate into the American way of li Ce. What it means for Asian <lIliI· dren is that they should not question or probe into areas of lile which might label them dissidents.

Search for Identity

In present day society, Asian children cannot help but be affected by what is taking place around them. In the pro­cess they become ambivalent about their identity, but in their prohibitive chUd rear­ing cannot get answers from their parents who find it dil­ficult to discuss, more or less understand, what is t.aking place among other minorities in society.

Asian children are no ex­ception in wanting to find a meaningfu.l existence for all people, thus assuming a hu­manistic attitude toward so­ciety. In the process they want to know all there is abollt life, drugs being only one aspect of what is taking place today. II Asian children cannot turn to their parents openly 101' dis· eussion, they will lind answers elsewhere, experiment with life, again of which drugs is only a part 01. I' do know of some Asian children who have experimented with various drugs, especially with mari· juana, but fortunately there is no real problem witli Asian chi ldren relative to drugs as yet.

In the futurc. howevcr, if the use 01 drugs is to be minimized among Asian chil­dren. I suggest that parents take an open approach to this problem with their children, without moralizing, but with a sincere concern for the harm that can be caused by the use 01 drugs.

Role of Physician

In reference to another statement attributed to me in which it indicates that I felt lhe lamily doctor is the best source of help when a child has begun to use drugs is somewhat misleading. I do not feel that the family doctor can treat the dynamics underlying drug use, but from the physic­al standpoint, a doctor would be consulted.

On the other hand, many parents overreact in my opin­ion and want their child to see a psychiatrist right away. Although this may be advis­able in some instances, I feel that many other approacbes can be a\tempted initially, if for no olher purpose than to evaluate the relative com­mitment on the individual's part to the use of drugs.

Finally, I did not single out anyone probation department or juvenile justice institution in 5nn Francisco relative to its adequacy in handling the drug problem with juveniles. What 1 indicated was that the existing juverule justice sys­tems generally are not equip­ped presenUy to deal with the drug problem. Unless the at­titudes of correctional sys­tems undergo a massive re­evaluation of their philosophy toward Juveniles, they will

Staff behavior Editor:

I had no intention 01 getting caught up in an endless diatribe ot who said what and where (re: the frequent attacks upon both myse!! and my remarks at Manzanar and the subsequent aUacks upon Wan-en Furutani) with some­one who did not attend the event and therefore could not judge what was said in con­text. Although Mr. Hirasuna disclaims any connection with flag-waving "right or wrong patriots" that we have come to associate with the far right, he quickly launches into the taotics that have made them so repulsive to thinking Amer­icans.

I am not bothered by the attacks upon mysel1 (I find the sage from Fresno hilari­ous) but I object to and de· plore the vicious smear tactics used upon \Varren Furutani. To cast aspersions upon a per­son on tbe strength of a calen­dar or poster is. to my way of thinking, ridiculous!

Surely Mr. HiTasuna could nol be serious when he intel'S and prejudges a person based upon the lactor of a waU post­er.

Next he will be attacking Ml'. Furutani upon the color of his automobile and heaven help the poor JACLer who happens to catch Mr. Hira­suna's eye if he happens to have a centerfold Of Playboy Ma~azine hanging off of hi. waUt

Noguchi Case Editor:

Enclosed is a copy 01 a let­ter I am sending today to the Board of Supervisors. Pro­bably they will never see it as if Mr. Hollinger's depart­ment opens the mail it will get lost; and Mr. Dorn of this dish'ict is easy going and I leel takes the path of not hurting anyone's feelings.

If no action is taken, per­haps the PC can nudge them for it certainly was due to powerful JACL (and the Ja­panese Americans United in Search of the Truth Commit­tee) that Dr. Noguchi finally got justice.

Here's the copy 01 the let­(er, dated Mar. 14: The Board of Snpervisors Los Angeles County

For months I have bee n waiting for you to take puni­tive action against Mr. Hol­linger. At the time of 01'. No­guchi's deserved reinstate­ment you sajd after the tur­moil quieted down you would.

When a county official can make accusing statements and get a reputable doctor fired, no one is safe from such per­sonal vindictiveness.

Some one told me that as Mr. Hollinger will retire next year it is easier to let this tragedy slide by without ac­tion. This is not the respon­sible action citizens of the county expect from our tine Board of Supervisors.

Since WW 2. the Nisei Vet· erans CommiHee (reaUy not a "committee," but the biggest Nisei group in the Northwest, with a large two-story club­house, etc.) has sponsored the community basketball leagues for years and years.

This year there's an JOpen' division with six teams, an lA' division with six and a 'B' division with five teams. So about 200 Sansei partici­p ated. Compared to 850 in 1937-38.

Seems Sansei interests in sports are far more "sophisti­cated" than were the Nisei's in 1937·38. The tbird genera ­tion go for skiing, tennis, golf, auto racing, skin diving, bowling-include their vigor­ous dance forms as sport. Nisei parents provide the money and time.

Ihe dictionary laultlessly leads from terms in ka.nji to romaji. Readers of the Japanese lan­guage at least occasionally read kanji of whose pronun­ciation they al'e doubtful or ignorant. So that the pronun­ciation of such kanji may be made known, and the reader thus led to lhe romajl and prO" per dictionary entry, a Cha· racter Index is included in th. Apnendices.
