Fair Trial for Wendy Central California JACL District Councll and the

Fresno Buddhist 8etsuln took the bull by Its horns and put to rest a heavy question gnawing th~ minds of many JACL members and Japanese Amencans In the case of Wendy Masako Yoshimura, the 32-year­old artist accused of possessing explosives and a ma­chine gun. The question: Do we help her or not?

The two Fresno organizations have established a Wendy Yoshimura Fair Trial Fund alld Asian Amer· ican groups in San Francisco and Los Angeles are in contact to coordlnate efforts In boosting this fund, which will be used strictly for trial expenses.

Northern CaUfornia-Western Nevada JACL District Council is expected to support the fair trial fund as the unscheduled resolution presented at its quarterly . ession two Sundays ago requires review of the chap­ters, The same situation may surface with the PacifIC Southwest District Council which is meeting tbis week· end at Carson. It is probable an appeal win be made before the 1otermountain District Council at is post­'Mlanluriving weekend convention In Pocatello.

It was a rare evening at the City Hall Towers tbis pest week when Mayor Tom Bradley and the Asian Pacific Team of the Los Angeles Bicentennial COlD­mittee greeted some 500 people to announce their plans for tbe coming year. Other attractions also belped. The buffet of ethuic food specialties was ex· traordJnary and plentiful Beauty queens from the vartoUl eommunltles served as hostesses. Orchid leis and music of Hawaii added charm.

That representation from the Asian American com­munities and Pacific bland people (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Samoan and Hawaiian) was bolstered by penons from such areas as India. Sri Lanka (Cey· Ion), Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand truly vitalized the concept of what "Asian Americans" can mean to be.

lm1I8ct of the City Ran Towers party in the com­Ing I!fcentennial year Is expected to be as colorfuJ and ~1turaUv cnUlbtening, What we envision is for Los Aqeles -to shfne as the Asian American capital 01 the world, This can be accomplished by everyone doing their thing-as the expression goes-but to­gelbir, The JACL in the Los Angeles area can be ex­pected to be associated In this positive endeavor.

"Language 10 us remains the prime ingredient toward enjoyment of any travel to an­other land." wrote one JACL­er. Many Joined In the chorus of "know a little Japanese" . . . "study at least the useful expressions in Japanese" ... "be able to read some of the Japanese characters."

Most eratifying, said DOl, were the thanks expressed for this service provided to the JACL membership at large. "Thanks 10 all JACL Travel Committee people and others who did so well for us." wrote one grateful traveler.

Further plaudit.

In addition tn Travel Com­millee members who worked long and hard on the guide­lines for the Travel Program, Ihose who actunlly imple­mented the program should be thanked for their cooperation and suggestions for improve­ment. Chapter travel chair­persons and J ACL-authorlzed travel agents put in mucb time and e/Torl to assist JACL pas­sengers and clients, and each bos done a tremendous job to ma ke Ihe 1975 program a suc­ce •• , said Dol.

What topped it all off. bow­ever, was the following com­ment from a very saUsBed JACL passeneer:

"Those comments in the Travel Brocbure hit the naU rIght on Ihe head when it read we would learn about our cultural heritage. I felt like I 6nlUy learned what makes me a Japanese-why I react to certain situaUotl.l (the way I do) . wby I like and dis­like certain thing.. It was more than a pleasant and en­joyable trip but a highly edu­cational and enlightening trip for me."

As with any program. con­eluded Doi, the Travel Pro­gram can be Improved for the beneBt of all concerned. The Travel Committee will review all comments and suggestions and will make appropriate ad­ju. tments to make the 1976 Travel Prol'ram even better. CDetails PIe publ ished on page 3. )
