railroaded out to isolated, harsh desert concentration camps in Po on, Arirona, where the temperature in the urnmer reached 120 degrees. The evacuees had to fend for themselves while the Army guards at gun-POlDt patrolled the perimeter outlined by barb-wire fences .

It was recalled that one of the m t outspoken race-baiting organizations was the Grower-Shipper egetable As-ociation here in Salinas. Its managing

director then , Austin Anson, had purred the outrageous evacuation momentum to no end Hi was an incredible, hysteric ruatribe, as recaJled in the Saturday Evening Post (May 9, 1942):

"We're charged with wanung to get rid of the Jap for selfi h reason . We might as well be honest We do. It' a question of whether the white man lives on the Pacific Coast or the brown man . . . They came to thi valley to work and they stayed to take over. They offer higher prices and higher rent than the white man in the markets. They can do this because they ratse their own labor. They work their women and children, while the white farmers have to pay wages for thelT help." It was uch inflammatory, mmd-boggling accu ations that made the 1989 Day of Remembrance observance a haunting American experience. It was more than just something of pas ing interest.

Governor George DeukmeJ ian , tate proclamallon declaring February

19 as a Day of Remembrance was delivered by Helen Kitaji .

Construcoon of the Kinenhi memorial several years ago was pearheaded by two JACL talwarts named Harry: lida and Sakasegawa. The garden landmark, beneath the tall eucalyptu trees, was well manicured for the occasion, lending a serene quality and glow of beauty. It has been Sakasegawa' long labor of love to help maintain the appearance of the garden at a high level.

Super Bowl's Improper Hoopla

The hype and hoopla that precede Amenca' premier ports festi al, the Super Bowl thl commg unday, was marred by a thoughtle and

in en itlve racial remark by Pat Bowlen, owner of the Denver Bronco . Reachmg meptly for a play on the word "nce," he referred facetiouly to Jeny Rice, the San Franci co 4gers' brilliant Wide receiver, as the "Chinaman" whose feet never touch the ground

Bowlen was qUickly, harpl} and properly called to account by Chmese mencan and man} other segment of Amenca And JU t a qUickly he apologlzed,aymg no offen e ~ as mtended He explamed that he had not realized "Chmaman" was offen lYe

"Sushi and Sourdough" Worth the Wait

The Uruverslty of Washington Press recently published a book titled

Sushi and Sourdough. It was wntten by Tooru J Kanazawa and I described as a novel

The descnption rrught be tretching the definition of novel a bit Part of it i fascinating fact-based fiction about I el in the Alaska gold ru h. Much of It IS Kanazawa' sen ltive personal a -count of a young i el growmg up m Alaska.

But the book i much more. It I a monument to one man' persi tence and could tand as in piration for those who want to write.

Tooru Kanazawa I no"," 83 years old Hi book was 10 years m the writmg Although he had been tIunlang of writing It for mo t of hi adult life, compo mg chapters in hi mind as he worked to upport himself and hi family, he didn't begin to put the words on paper until he was 73 He ubnutted the manuscript to three national pubIi hers and was turned down each ume with scant en ouragement before the University of Washington Press indicated interest. He rewrote the tory three tunes.

In hi author' preface Kanazawa wntes. "Although I was born in pokane, Wash, on ov. 12, 1906,

our fanuly moved to Douglas, Al ka, in 1912, and about two years lat r acro Gastmeau Channel to Juneau, where my father was a barber M ob-ervatlon and interactions '\Ith th

I sel, in particular With the Itmerant a1-mon-cannery workers, planted within me the seed of a d ire to teU the tory of our Alaskan immigrant fathers and mothers inte'l'reted through my ey and heart"

'flu he has dooe weU, hi ob rvations haVing matured In the long years between boyhood experien e and craftIng hi tory Kanazawa' d riptIon of hanng for a moment the beauty of a ub-arctic rught With his work-worn mother I poetry. And hi recollections of avenging for discarded bottl which will bring a few ceo ,and catchmg brook trout to eU to a Japan~ restaurant owner rucknamed John 00,

are pure Amencana

But Kanazawa' editOrs did him no favor In insi ting that it be a novel Mat Fuse, the tough and appealing Japan

immigrant moved by wanderlust and the lure of Klondike gold, I a fi tIonai but n t untypi aI figure In the first part of th book. In real life, in the latter half of the k, Fu i Thor' (Tooru' ) father"," ho I content to work as a barber and finds olace in bottle of dnnk. The link and confli t between the two personaliti of Mat Fu IS never made clear and other I I, kindly or harsh, playa more important part 10

Tooru life.

onethele, I m delighted Kanazawa has been pubh hed The book i the culmination of a long-held dream made real largely b the dogged persl tence of his hentage. A Kanazawa notes, h com from a ·t-ram that i low to mature lllletun as long as 0 years. But no"," that he has matured th re I mu h hope for his ne. t book \\ Iu h I based on hi e penen a 37-year-old GI With the 442nd Regimental Combat Team I await It With great anticipatIon, for T ru Kanaza a who w my sensei and flrs( n w paper bo at the Japanese American Courier In eattle.

Many Blacks expected freedom would aI 0 mean free land as the slogan "40 acre and a mule" achieved wide popularity in the South in 1865 The idea was trongly upported by Rep Thaddeus Steven , radical Republican from Pennsylvarua who e hatred of the planter c1as wa regarded as pathological and who wanted to eize the lands of the chief rebel which would be diVided into convement farm and "every adult male egro could easily be uppbed With 40 acre "

Although teven' figures were faulty. the dra tic olution was not upported in Congres . It preferred to modify the homestead law, throwmg open 46 million acre of federal land In the

outhern states ince the land was of very poor quality, relatively few freedmen settled upon it.

First of all, the column ran regularly during Karen Senguchi's tenure. The incident took place when Lynn Sakamoto was editor-but I want to make it clear that she did DOl drop the column.

It all started when Lynn suggested that Hosokawa's "From the Frying Pan" and Bill Marutani's "East Wind" run on alternate weeks instead of having both in the same ISSue very week. The reason for tIus was that we were usually linuted to eIght pages a week, and after all the ads were put in we had to squeeze new and commentar} from acro the counlr) into the pace that was left This i still the case loday. It did not seem like uch an outrageou uggestion; even if II had been Implemented. it undoubtedly would have been only a temporary measure.

But Hosokawa saw thtng dIfferently. Hi po lUon was that If the column wasn't good enough to run every week, then It ought not run at all One day, along WIth hI regular batch of column , we receIVed one announcing that the "Fryer" would be discontinued afler a run of more than 40 years Lynn ubsequently asked Hosokawa if he would reconsider, but he declined .

I repeat the column was not dropped; it was WIthdrawn.

It I wonh noring that we dId not get a Imilar response from Bill Marulani, who

continued to send in his column . Not long after Lynn left, I ran the

farewell column. WhIle I knew it would not be well receIved, I ligured it was hi deci ion; no one forced hIm 10 wnte It. There was, needles:, to say, a lireslorm of prote t Readers canceled their ubscriplion , angrily accu ing u of canceling the column or otherwise forcing "poor old Bill" out They declared that the "Fryer" was the only thing m the paper wonh reading and that everything else was garbage. (Thi did not m pire me to continue working at the PC.)

Hosokawa, who I hImself a member of the P.c. board, was contacted by the board chaIr and the column was quickly reinstated.

All thl because we had the temerity to ugge t that the column run every other

week As for Barry aikl' column," isel 10

Japan," Karen Senguchl ran II regularly The ubsequent edito~, however, did not give it hIgh priority Of course, aikl had every nght to contact the editors and ask what had happened to the column he sent In, but a far as I know, he never did In tead, he too sent m a farewell column and Ihen complained about the matter nearly three years afterthe fact m hI recent lener

I am not trying to trash either Ho kawa's or Saiki' column; I merely want the event~ to be presented as they happened
