HOLIDAY ISSUE- 196S

It is a cinch lhat our trying to squeeze all thll advertising, slories and pictures for a Holiday Issue inside of 48 pages are over if lhe past edition is a criterion. We managed lo accommodate all of lhe ad-vertising (some of which came in after deadline), but

had to yank out parts of stories and piclures. At a Holiday Issue staff meeting lhis pasl week,

we toyed wilh the idea of a 56-pager next time. These

eight extra pages, however, might not be enough if

more chapters go for bulk rate space. Snake River Valley JACL, after a lhree·year

hiatus, proved it could be done again and came up with a pair of full-page advertising. We spent many

fulile hours trying lo locate that map of the Ontario, Ore. area to dress lhe pages. We hope lo make It up to lhem lhe next time by having our "slaff artist" Pele Hironaka come through as he did with

the excellent map of the San Diego area. Fresno and Sacramento chaplers flexed their

know-how in elaborale fashion by building up lheir previous half-page spreads to a full page. Chicago, Seabrook and San Francisco chaplers repealed their full-page stint by deadline time-for which the Holi· day Issue staff is most grateful. The sheer task of reading advertising proof and seeing that lhe correc-

tions were made properly under the most hectic of conditions (hectic because our volunleer slaffers are not accuslomed to the process) is alleviated by rna· terial coming before deadlines.

While it was not slated on the page, lhe Holly-wood JACL also pulled through a full-page spread of advertising. San Diego wan led to kickoff their con· vention spirit with a full· page display and it was very

evident. With the Holiday Issue staff already being primed

for lhe 1966 edition, we intend lo cut down lhe "typos",

add more fealure malerial and pictures. While the Holiday Issue financial report is still

due, we can say that we had over 50 pet. in adverlising -a new high. Hence, our idea of adding eight more pages seems necessary.

Again our thanks to the chapter solicitors and contributors who helped make lhe 1965 Holiday Issue a tremendous success. We lost a lot of sleep pulting 48 pages lo bed, but wilh our staff organizing itself early this year for 1e66-we figure to improve lhe next Holiday Issue as well as our sleeping habits dur-

Ing the first weeks of next December.

• LI'L TOKIO-1966

Several doors wesl of the Shin Nichibei plant where we have our weekly PCs set stands a magnifi-

cent 10·story Civic National Bank building, which had Its ribbon-culling ceremonies Tuesday.

It is a tribute to the community spirit which has moved lhe Little Tokyo Redevelopment Assn. Japa-nese Americans in Los Angeles have noticed the slructure rise in lhe air. They have seen olher new buildings rise and will see more in the coming year or two. It is the association of civic·minded business-men and leaders who want to redevelop on their own.

Sensing that a governmentally-sponsored urban renewal program would lake years, the association was organized on a private basis some two years ago. The program has exciled businessmen across the nation to inquire aboul its prospects. Its latest project is a special assessment district to equip Li'l Tokio with an ultram6dern lighting syslem, trees and at least one whole new slreet.

It turned the edilors at the Los Angeles Times lo cile "lhis dramatic community rebirlh, two decades afler lhe grievous economic harm its citizens suffered during their forced World War II evacuation, (as) a lribule to lhe indomitable spiril of lhis fine minority American community".

With such attention·getters as lhe new Civic Na· tional Bank building, the Times edilorial expressing pride in Li 'l Tokio and continued acceptance of Japa· nese Americans in general, the pessimists in our ranks who dismiss any future for Li'l Tokio in lhe shadow of Civic Cenler are probably crying for having missed lhe first boat.

JACL can help assure lhe prideful example that Is in Li'l Tokio by having the very leaders of Li'l Tokio exert lheir influence and leadership within lhe chap· lers locally. And this factor has not been missed as recent chapler elections can testify.

THE NEWSPAPER GAME

Saburo Kido, wartime National JACL president and co-founder of the Pacific Citizen, is leaving the newspaper game after a 12-year stint as president of lhe New Japanese American News. Through his lea-dership, lhe Pacific Citizen was moved to Los Angeles so that it could stand on its own. It is unfortunate he could do not likewise with the daily vernacular. But he gamely tried. We are happy to note his daily col-umns will not be stilled.

Announcemenl of the change in ownership is forthcoming. We wish them success in this exciting venture of communily service.

Human Relations: by Phil Hayasaka

Watch Your language SeatUe

In race relations, it appears at times that the "smallest thing" can touch of( an explo· sion. In Los Angeles. the ar-rest of a trathc violator touch· ed oll a riot. In Seattle. an alleged name·caUing inc ident touched oll an assault that resulted in the death of a mao.

Race relations is a sensitive and emotional arCa that reo quires much common sense to make il work. It is a complex area because it deals witt, people-and how to get along with each other in today'!!: complex urban society.

Yet. It is often the small. olten the thoughtless words spoken (that can be avoided) that lead to tragic endings. The SeatUe Urban League, In the field of race rela tions fOI many years. has suggested some tips rela ling to the use of words that may assist in sensitizmg people in making them aware of the devastat-ing implications of certain words and JObrases. Some of these tips mclude:

Avoid racial jokes, for their humor is derived from stere.-otyping or ridiculing racial. religious and nationality groups and are seldom funny to members of the group in-volved.

Thus, they bring a new d imension to American understanding of worJd aHairs .

The 1965 Session

Looking back at the 1965 congressional seSSion, it can probably be said ttl'l t the Firsl Session of the 89th Congress enacted more social and eco-nomic legislation that will af· fect the lives and ille pocket-books of all Americans. in· cluding Japanese AI.nericans, fo'" many years to come than any other Congress in recent tImes.

The Slme Congress also passed two measures that marked the end of a not-so-proud era in which Asians generally and Japanese parti-cularly were the objects of both persecution and prosecution in and under American la w.

The Iirst was the elimina-tiOD of racism against lor~ eigners and especially those of Asian anceslry in federal immigration principles and practices. Public Law 89-236, enacted on Oct. 3, 1965. abol-ished both the national origins quota system of 1924 and the Asia-Pa::ilic Triangle special discrimination that had its be-gulIlings in 1882. For the firsl time in more lban three-

names. The use of terms such as "darky." "dago," "chink." "Jap," "nigger," "k.ike," are unpardonable.

Watch your semantics, such as "Indian giver." "China-man 's chance," "Jew him down." for they are the re-sults of an unconsclous belle! in white supremacy and anti ~ Semi tism .

A void unnec:1!ssary labels. such as "my people" or "you

people, .s this accentuat~s dllferences.

Pronounce tile word "Ne-gro" dlstincUy. lor a slur can cause this perfectJ,y proper word to sound like a ha ted epithet.

Don't generalize abo u t groups. Claims that they are lazy , they are mercenary,

they are bigots. Ihey are thieve.s, they are sly, are aU blanket generalizations which are untrue, unscientific and

undemocra tic. Use the same criteria for evaluation ot all persons . Apply the same standards of Judgment to all persons, regardless of rac e or

religion. No group has a monopoly on either ability or d epravity. Unnecessary ref-

erences to rac e are in poor taste.

Practice speaking as U members of all groups were present at all times. Alter all. speech is a babit.

quarters of a century. those or Asian ancestry are cons i-dered on a par with those of European background lor im-mjgration purposes.

The second was the au-

thorization of appropriations to pay the last claim for losses suffered by persons of Japa-nese ancestry evacuated from

their homes and associations

on the West Coast in the spring of 1942 solely on ac-count of the accident of their birth.

In July 1948, Congress 8}> proved partial cco:npensation for the real and property losses sutfered in one ot the most drastic deprivations 01 civil r ights in American his-tory. In the last supplemental appropriations blll enacted prior to adjournment la s t Oclx>ber. Congress authorized the payment of the hst and largest claim, thereby termi-nating a program that result-ed in the payment of some S40 million to some 36.500 claimants.

For the firs t time in more than 80 years. we understand that there is no law on the t ederal statute books that dis-crimiO'ltes against those of

Japanese ancestry.

Now that the First SessIon of thO' 89th Congress ended all legislative bias against those of Japanese ancestry, let the Second Session that convenes

nexl Monday mark the da WD of a new and gr81ler epoch

in American h istory \\ben those of Japanese background may make even greater con ~

tributions to the Unlted States.

Hawaii expects high

immigrant percentage HONOLULU-The new immI-gration law is expected to give Hawaii a hIgher per-centage of immigrants than

any other slale but New York. "We can probably expect

more immigrants than a lot

of other areas of the United Sta les because of our large percentage of residents of Asiatic descent," said Rodney CI13ft, supervisory immigrant

inspector of tbe Honolulu of-fice of the Federal Immlgra-tion and Naturalization Serv-ice.

"Sections recrlizing the most immigrants will be those hav-ing residents with relatives

from countries where the visa

quotas have been over~sub

scribed such as China, Japan and the Philipp1lles."

Four Basle Factors

Now I will mention four basic Ca ctors: the first is a popular anU·war sentiment: the second IS a national aim for a (ree 50. clety: the third Is a national as-piration for lndependence: and the fourth's the economIc and technological strength oC Japan. which I hope wUl qualUy Japan for Its tuture: responslbtllties.

As for popular anti,war senti-ment . I am sure that you will understand that It cannot be di· vorced tram the atomic bombing of Hiroshima Bnd NagasakI. Three words. "No more Hlroshlmas, ,. tersely but thoroughly express this feeling among my people. Those ot you who have been to the Peace Monument In Hiroshi. ma may have realized that our anti· war sentiment, symboUzed by the Monument. Is deeper In our minds than mosl other considera-tions of national Interest of Japan.

The now well-known "antl.war clause," Article 9. was Included In the new Constitution during the Occupation and gave consti · tutional endorsement to this antl~ war sentiment.

Since then . the arms race bet. ween the two superpowers has accelerated at an unprecedented pace. and a series of nuclear tests has been carried out . The Japa· nese Covernment. under pressure of popular sentiment. h ~wever. has had to rile officia l protests with whatever government of either camp. Otherwise. any gov· ernment In power would surely lose 5upport by the people.

A n tt~\Yar Sentiment Deep

Some at you may thlnk that our anti-war sentiment has often been used , or sometimes abused. by the opposition forces or by Ie!. tlst Intellectuals. Nonetheless. 1 would like to tell you that our antl·war sentJment Is. in Cact , much deeper and more enduring than most oC you surmise.

NEW YEAR'S-Call'l ever recall eating m ore

abundantly. doing less, and en joying more te l evised

football tilat 1 did New Year's Day. Matter of fact, it was aboul tile fattest. laziest holiday season in memo

ory, and I enjoyed every bit of it but not without a

small sense of guilt.

Guill about what? Well, for one thing, that 1 h ad it so soIt and pleasant and easy while so many good Joes are ha"ing to fight my war for me i n Vietnam.

Not that r would be capable of taking my place along· side these fighting men. Too many winters h ave pass·

ed for that, and it's part of lhe lottery of life that some

must march into combat while others keep the home

fires burning.

Still, there is such an enormous gulI between the

affluent American standard of living and w hat we

require of the men who defend thal standard for liS,

that one is led to wonder abou t the injustice of it all.

• RETURN TO YESTERDAY-The farther the Ni·

sei get from their Japanese origins, the more enthu· siastically they seem to observe ancestral traditions,

like the New Year feast. Even though the Issei popula·

tion in t.his area has dwindled tragically this past year,

the two main suppliers of Japanese provisions here·

abouts, Granada Fish and Pacific Mercantile, did a

landoffice business at year's end supplying Nisei tables

with exotic foodstuffs.

Nisei housewives who in Uleir youth were just

too busy to bother learning how to prepare New Year goodies have, somehow, found bolh the time and skill

to set handsome tables. The significance of ancient

observances may have been lost over the years, but

the food tastes as great as ever.

• • CONVERSATIONS-Betweeu Christmas and New

Year' s Day, the Simpson Methodist Church here host·

ed a young people's conference attended by delega·

tions from Seattle, Portland, Spokane and Ontario,

Ore., as well as by local Sansei and Nisei. On New

Year's Eve, just after the you ng Christians had gone

home, the Mile High JACL chapter held its annual

Installation dinner·dance at which the oldtirne stand·

bys were outnumbered by younger men and women.

While both functions could be considered great

successes, and were marked by lively activity, some

interesting questions also were being asked. It mayor may not have been a coincidence that strong support.

e rs of both events asked the same question: "Are

functions such as these necessary?"

In an earlier time I probably would have answer· ed flatly in the negative. But on these occasions I had to qualify my reply: "If they're serving a useful pur· pose, they ought to be encouraged."

On the surface, they do seem to be serving a use·

ful purpose, and not the least of these is a stirring of minds so that the participants are questioning the val·

ue of their activities. What could be healthier than

that?

~ 'ear oC '66 let me recap a few "skips and jumps" 1 had during the closing days 01 the '65 year.

('('Dc: While basllly run· ning to and fro during the season to be Jolly helping to thr3fh out the Pacific Citizen Holiday Issue, I ventured a drh ... into the Central CallIor-nla area. There I met with the principals In regard to their youth movement-Bill Nagala, District ~'outh repre-.enlative to the National In· tewn Youth Council tNIYC) and Harry Kaku, district youth Comm issioner. CCDC has only one youth group al present, Tulare County Jr. JACL, how. ever plans in '66 call lor either an u1ension of their current youth chapler or formation of other new groups.

PNWDYC: Also had a f!banee to plan the new year wi th Paul Tamura. Curtis On· chi, and Pam Tamura, the ollicers of the DYC in the Pacific Northwest. (] a lso had 1I1e opportunity to meet with Ted Iwata, the lourthsome on the cabinet later in the week. Paul, Curtis and Pam tar. in Portland and Ted Is In Seattle.) This newest DYC (Iormed during the last PNW· 1)1: meeting Dec. 4-5) Is trying to gain momentum and force behind an eUective sptrited program. Good lucie!

,ext stop ""as Sea ttle to .quare away the 1966 National Scholarshlp Program. This particular program Is passed on from ODe dlstrJct to another a teach biermiurn. So the PNWDC being elected at the last Convention In Detroit saw fit to designate Portland to handle the judging last year. Now the reins have changed and George Iwasaki, Seattle JACL president, Is undertak· ing 1be job.

NOTE: Currently, there Is one 01 those blasted Youth Surveys going around again, This one is entitied National Chapler Scholarship Program Survey (Form ~1122 )' The return deadline was set Cor Dec, 31, 1965. We still have rome outstanding rrOnl chal>' ters and I would appreciate their return to my office. DoD't forget those New Year's resolutions to get things in on time this year.

While I was a t it, I visited ", ~ th an energetic individual who bas one of those kind of jobs whlcb no one really UD· derstands nor appreciates. Phil Hayasaka is the directo, 01 the Human Rights Commis· sian lor the City 01 Seattle, I would guess lba t Phil is try-ing to keep ahead and sched-ule '66 tor anothet never dull y'ear.

It is lurther noted tha t these leaders have served as chair-man for a number and most varied cbapter events. Fur-thermore, they are ..also most ~ctive in other community af-fa irs.

Thus we ba ve covered the ground level of our tribute to those who have given a de-cade or more of service. And now to note their record in-dividually:

F irst Is G own emotion.. Tne mtenuon is to keep oHlen Irom seeing In. The Important thing Is that whatever he teels be not visi-ble to others. TIlls requlres an eflort 01 will . It b by no means learned easlly. A. a result many Nisei are incap. able of doing this and feel guilty and ashamed. But the socially successful Nisei builds this wall.

IleU.conatrunted 'WaU'

A •• sociologist 1 have come to belleve that tbe actual func-tion of this "wall" Is to keep the sell from seeing the self. Alter aU, one doesn't really know wha t othe r people see, but iI one can block out one's own vision of Impulses. one might assume that other peo-ple cannot see them either. One consequence 01 this "wall" for NIsei Is a low de-gree 01 insight. I would pre-dlct that Nisei are very poor patient. in psycho-analysis. They would not respond to psycho-analysis easily for It call. precisely for the destruc-tion 01 th'a t kind 01 a wall, caUs for one to see InsIde of himsel! and to take onesell apart.

On the oHler hand I would guess, and there is some evi-dence to show, that Nisei would be very good pa tients in group therapy, pemaps excellent patients. What do I mean by this ? What happens tD Nisei I> that they become alieo'ated from themselves in a psychological sense by hid-ing Impulses from them-selves ; they detach that part 01 themselves from them-selves. tbey don ' t see It any more. I sbould add that It Is th is phenomenon whic"n Is the source for what vulgar racis t stereotype, the irucrutable Ja-panese. The kernel of truth about this inscrutability is this phenomenon of character management.

Oharanter Jllanagement

The Nisei become. alienated /rom himsell, he hides the im-pulsive emotions from himsel!. One 01 the things whidb bap-pens wilen people become de-tacbed or alienated Is that their perception increases. be-cause in no situaUon in whlcb they lind themselves are they completely imm .. rsed. They cannot become completely im-mersed because there is a part of themselves tb!at is not operating there. So it you are always in beI Is that they are really sharp with respect to dlscerning the character 01 lellow Nisei , One of Ule mo. t 10trlguJng kinds 01 conversa-tion one haa with NiseI ..... characterloglcal dlscusslons of an absent third party. Nisei can dissect with great ea.e, and r egardless of intellec tual tra ining, the cbtaracler or a third party. It Is reaUy qulte remarkable and mucb dilfer-ent Irom the kind ot conver-sation tIIa t goes on among other persons olong the aame line . But the same kind of perception doesn't operate If the object 01 dlsc~ s slon changes from a third party to the sell . . During the midst of an intense conversation \lbout an absent third party I sud-denly sold tD a Nisel friend of m ine, "What do you think about yourselt 910ng these lines?" and, immedlateJy, a whole set ot cbara cter man-agement came Into play in which the level 01 conversa-tion switched to very super-ficial bumor.

My argument Is that Nisei personality arises as a result 01 the responses to the combi-na tion 01 a particular kind 01 au thoritar ian falmily structure and an image of man which calls lor the repression ot im-pulses. Cbaracter control Is what m akes the Nlsel man. Thus. the Nisei. this remark-able cbaracter wbo on the sur: face appears to have managed everything. Nothing seems to astonish bim, bother him, an-ger him.

Concluding Comments

Let me close by outllnlng some further consequences. First. Nisel appear to be high-ly Americanized without nec-essarily being so. They seem to r epresent the m iddle class vir tues without necessarily be-ing m iddle class.

Second, I wouJd predict that precisely because Impulses al-ways have to be managed, one would probably lind a higher degree 01 psycbo-somatic ill-ness aImong Nisei than one would find among other groups 01 the population in the same social class. My guess is U,at it one made a s!Oldy 01 two dillerent groups -a Hakujin middle class group and a Nisei middle dass group and iested them for psycho-somatic illness, the Nisei would show up with higher frequency 01 psycho-somatic illness-ulcers, falling hair. mottled linger nails, e tc.

Third, the Nisei seem tD be unable to transmit this cbar-a cter pattern to their own children. As a result, Nisei re-gard the Sansei as charac-terologically weak. There is something mlss.ing 10 Sansei whk h tbe Nisei cannot qulte grasp. The word Sansei be-comes an explanatory term to account for fa Uure ot charac-ter control In a wIlole bost of s ituations. Thus. It has often been said to me about some person who was dlsapproved of, "weU, he's a Sansei, you can understand that." Nisei are in the curious }X)sition of reproducing a people whose eharaoter they cannot tully

U.S.-Japan Cooperation in Science Washlngton

One pres of Am~rican and oTapJs. But since 1962. a con· certed elfort has been made by the U .S.·J-'apan Cooperative Science Program of the Na· tional Science Foundation on the U.S. side (!and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, the Science and Tech· nology Agency, and Ministry of Education on the Japanese alde I to promote and support direct cooperation between American and Japanese sci· Itntlsts In many fields.

Purpose ot the program is to carry out the recommenda· tions made by President Ken· nedy and Prime Minister Ike· da in 1961 wben they agreed that cooperation in science would be beneficial to both couDtries (since scientilic re-search in both countries is at a high level in many fields I. A U.S . .Japan Joint Committee for Scientific C0-operation, cdmposed of eml· nent American and Japanese .scientists, was set up to ree· ommend certain areas unique tor cooperation. The areas in· II1'aUy recommended were: the exchange of scholars, sci-entific iniorlnation. earth sci-ences, biological sciences, and medical sciences. Since then, other areas have been named for cooperation.

The U.S . .Japan Cooperative Science Program was estab-lished to implement the recommendations of Ibe Joint Committee. This Is done by II\lPporting three types ot ac· tivities : Joint research proj· ects, meetings, and sending Amer.ican scientists to Japan for study, research. or short visits.

At this time, only Amerl· oans are being sent to Japan under the scholar exchange

ASpect or UU~ pl'o~rnrm since SO few American" go to Japan for any length of iJme com· pIlred with Ule countless Jla. panesc counterparts who come he.l'C'.

Basi. CrilNia

The two basic operaUng eri· lerill of the program arc: that ea"h side is to pay for the participation or its own sci. enUsts,' and that each project must Involve both Americans Gnd Japanese. Tho pIly·your· own policy was adopted in the belief that each side must pro-vide the funds for its own scientists participation If there were to be full equality In partnership, Th. criterion of coopeNlUon Is self-explanatory.

The formal establishment of a binational program in sel· entific cooperation is a new concept In coopeIiation. The object of the program is nol to preempt the other coopera· tive arrangements behveen American and J ap3nese sci· entists, but to supplement their activities and hopefully accelerate the amount of c0-operation.

At the same time that the science committee was estab-lished, two others were set up: the educational and cuI· tun1 committee and the trade committee. Since the science committee's efforts were di· rected primarily toward basic science support, about two years ago, a U.S.·Japan na· tural resources committee was set up to deal with ap-plied areas. Tben, last year, a U.S . .Japan medical sciences committee was established.

It's been said that science transcends national bounda· ries. Undoubtedly, one of Ule purposes of this cooperative scientific arrangement is to prove this 8 fact, 8S well as to show Ibat the combined ac· tion of two scientific commu· nities would result in grea ter productivity than It the two groups worked seplratel,)'.
