"Many of the internment camp survivors are elderly people who have waited more than 40 years for an apology and some sort of a token compensation," Floyd continued. 'There is absolutely no reason in the world to delay the payment .. . and the apology."
Floyd's Jomt resolution memorializes the Congress and President Bush to "honor the letter and spirit of our nation's moral and legal commitment to Japanese American internme~~ camp survivors by voting im-

ORA: 48,000 Names
of Possible Redress
Recipients Compiled WASHINGTON - Bob Bratt, administrator of the Department of Justice's Office of Redress Administration (ORA) , told an overflow Washington , D.C. crowd on Jan. 26 that approximately 48,000 addresses of persons potentiaUy eligible for redress are now on ftle.
SAN FRANCISCO--A paid political advertisement calling upon veterans to oppose the appropriations for the Civil Liberties Act has been criticized as "misguided and exploitative" by the National JACL.
The ad appearing Jan. 24 in the Los Angeles Times is addressed to the attention of "Veterans, Taxpayers, Seniors" and urges individuals to contact their congressmember in the "memory of the deceased and living American veterans and their families."
"It is reprehensible to believe that the Civil Liberties Act is an insult to the memory of American veterans," commented Acting National Director Bill Yoshino.
'The underlying basis of the act goes to the heart of our Constitution. The ad placed by Veteran's Services suggests that the issue is one of simply
. tax dollars. The i sue is whether our country has tbe will to do what is right and just as a result of its actions toward a group of its own citizens during World War 11 ," Yoshino emphasized .
Yoshino added that "the Congress and President Reagan had affimted the rightness of the legislation through its passage in 1988.
"It now remains for the -President Bush and the Congress to implement the provisions of the law."
Although some are duplicates , ORA's progress toward identifying aU eligible individuals has been impressive, it was added.
Bratt said that he is "proud" of the "efficient" and " fruitful ' operation.

East West Players &
Mako Part Company By Dean Takehara Rafu Shimpo
LOS ANGELES - Amid charges of nepotism, Mako, the artistic director of the East West Players, announced that he would no longer associate with East West Players from Jan. 15.
Some people in the community claimed they have been rejected during the audition process in favor of his children, or were passed over because his wife, Shizuko Hoshi, was in charge of auditions, Mako said.
Dr. Andy Wong, chairman of the board for the East West Players, said the board did not ask for Mako's resignation. "He felt he couldn't continue because of a policy that was drawn up and adopted by the board."
The policy stated that anyon~ as- . sociated with the East West Players must seek the board's approval if a relative was recommended for a directing or acting slot. It was drawn up and adopted in October, when Mako was in Pennsylvania working on a film.
Mako, whose real name is Makoto Iwamatsu, had acted in numerous films , including The Sand Pltbbles, Conan the Barbarian and most recently, The Wash, with Nobu McCarthy. He had acted or directed in countless East West Player productions including Pacific Overlures, Mishima and Hokusai Overtures.

• The majority of eligible recipients are the most senior members of our society. They are in their 60s, 70s and 80s. They can wait not longer.
• The law requires payments to be made within a ten-year period. The Reagan figure would violate that requirement by setting the course for a 6O-year timetable.
• The law does not state that every recipient must be identified before payments begin. It states that the oldest survivors should be given priority. Payments should begin immediately for those senior recipients who have already been identified.

A Summer Seminar i~ Japanese Culture
Kyoto Sch~ol Unlocks Variety of . Traditional Arts to Foreign Students
SAN FRANCISCO - For me traveler looking for a key to unlock knowledge of the roots of Japanese culture through the practice of the traditional arts, the best kept secret in cross cultural study is the Oomoto School of Traditional Japanese Arts near the ancient city of Kyoto.
At Oomoto students learn budo, tea ceremony, calligraphy, and Noh drama. In addition students study flower arrangement for tea (Chabana), pottery making, ana attend formal lectures on aspects of history and culture. Class trips include a visit to the largest Zen temple in Kyoto , Daitoku-ji , and the Ura eoke Tea School.
During the month long intensive students engage in a total immersion course, living as Japane e: wearing kimono and geta, eating Japanese food , bathing in communal baths, sleeping on tatami mats while practicing the e arts under the upervision of master teachers, some of whom are Living Treasures of Japan . While the instruction is in Japanese each class includes a translator who assists English-speaking students.
ULTIMATE BANKING CARD
The school'sl ocus is on doing: by attempting to wield a brush, a Noh fan . a wooden sword and a tea whisk, the neophyte enters a world of experience. Perception, attention and observation of detail are developed.' The body learns. Western linear modes are set aside for new ways of learning with the senses.
Since 1976 over 200 students from' every part of the world have attended the seminar. The Oomoto School of Traditional Japanese Arts will be held in 1989 from JlIJle 5 through July 4.

EDITORIAL OF THE PACIFIC CITIZEN:
Redress and the Budget
THE REAGAN administration's final budget was a document of3 ,000 pages in seven volumes. It was sent to Congress in January as a
proposal for government spending in fiscal 1990 which begins Oct. I, 1989. The budget called for expenditures of $1. 2 trillion which is an unimaginably huge figure.
It is a virtual impossibility for anyone person, or even a team of number-crunchers, to know every last detail about that proposed budget. The likelihood is that many unrelated teams contributed to its drafting. Everyone involved understood that it would bear little resemblance to
. the ultimate budget which will be agreed upon after near-endless wrangling between the new Bush administration and Congress.
Thus there is reason to be disappointed, but not entirely frustrated, that the Reagan budget proposes only a token $20 million for Redress payments. Like so many other budget figures it probably was picked out of the air without any real understanding simply because numbers had to be attached to the item.
But the casual and insensitive treatment given Redress in the budget- I
ing process is warning that JACL cannot diminish its efforts. Key figures in the Bush administration and Congress, beginning with members of the budget and appropriations committees, need.to be reminded that the healing process begun with the passage of the Redress bill cannot proceed withmlt funds.
The law signed by President Reagan last surnmer provides for payment of $1.25 billion over a JO-year period. No more than $500 million may be appropriated in anyone year. Most of the estimated 60,000 beneficiaries are elderly. The essence of justice requires that the largest permissible amount be appropriated and distributed as quickly as possible.

A Post Mortem
Emperor Hirohito's death was expected from the onset of his last illness, for the court physicians had known that he had cancer. For him the end must have come as a release from an unnecessarily prolonged suffering, and I am glad for that. At the senior club, an old lady, like myself a survivor from Meiji, said: "Demo, hono shimashita ne" -"But, I was relieved, for he had suffered so long." It was exactly my feeling.
I was sorry he died without performing one last act of tennoship.
I have always maintained that Richard Nixon would have gone down in history as a great president if only he had owned up to .Watergate and apologized to the nation. Hirohito was in a similar situation. If he had only acknowledged his responsibility in the war and apologized to the -world and to the Japanese people, he would have gained an incomparably greater stature as a truly fine man.
All through his illness a good part of the Japanese populace made a great show of concern, which to some Americans seemed somewhat overdone, and even maudlin. When finally the death came, Premier Takeshita said "I am grief stricken." On the other hand a not inconsiderable minority of the people had voiced their suspicion, which for some of them had been a long known, undisguisable fact, that the last tenno was responsible for the war. Has their voice been stifled away forever?
What do average, well-educated, and fair-thinking Japanese think? I had
been wondering. Then I received a letter yesterday from the son of an old friend of my USC days with whom I had spent one afternoon last year. An ' engineer, he has spent many years in third world countries and has seen Japan from the outside. Below I present his translation, done as literally as I could.
'The emperor is dead. The late emperor was an extraordinarily fme person, I think, and I am sad. I was born in 1936, and received my education after the war. Though I was still young, however, I experienced much unhappiness and suffering, during and after the war. On the side of our enemies there also was much unhappiness and suffering.
"Even in today's prosperity I occasionally glimpse the shadows of the last war. This is a fact that can never be done over again (yarinaoshi ga kikanaijijitsu). In this vein of thinking, as a Japanese who has inherited the responsibility for the war, I am compelled to reflect on the tenno institution's meritorious and criminal roles in the Japanese society, and its responsibility in the last war. It may be difficult to expect any deep understanding of the tenno institution from the peoples of other countries. Is it an impossible proposition to think of the late heika's (majesty's) personality apart from the endeavor to preserve our respect for the tenno institution? In me there is a conflict between logical thinking and feeling for the late emperor."

Kagawa's Influence and Modern Japan
My parents were active Buddhists but it was from them that I heard of Toyohiko Kagawa, Japan 's bestknown Christian. This was some time in the 1930s, and Kagawa had come to the United States on one of his preaching missions.
Kagawa preached an unorthodox brand of Christianity that had an universal appeal. It had to do with matters like social justice for the oppressed, the hungry in Japan's slums and the folly of military aggression. He seemed to have a self-assumed mission of making fat cats uncomfortable, and by and large it appealed to Issei who certainly were not among the privileged.
I didn't dwell further on Kagawa until some months ago when George Yasukochi of Berkeley told me a Kagawa biography was being written in observance of the 10th anniversary of his birth. It was sponsored by the American Committee for the Kagawa Centennial Project and the author was Robert Schildgen of Oberlin, Ohio.
The book, titled Toyohiko Kagawa, Apostle of Love and Social Justice, has been published (Centenary Books, 1442-A Waltnut St., #415, Berkeley, CA 94709), and it is a pleasant surprise. One does not expect much of pu.blications like this, but Schildgen
has produced a book that is readable, balanced and scholarly, meaning there are plenty of footnotes to document an unusual story .
Kagawa emerges as something of a single-minded eccentric, but eccentricity is often the hallmark of individuals of intense dedication. He has been compared to Ghandi and Mother Theresa. While acknowledging his tremendous influence, Schildgen considers such comparisons hardly appropriate.
Schildgen writes that Kagawa had "an enormous ego, basked in public attention and was an inexhaustible selfpromoter with a driving need for recognition." But he lived ascetically, and used the attention he enjoyed to promote his causes. Schildgen notes:
''Many of the reforms Kagawa fought for have been incorporated into modem Japanese society. It now enjoys universal suffrage, freedom for unions and political organizations, adequate medical care, good education, decent housing, vastly improved land ownership rights and numerous other social services which he tirelessly promoted. The cooperative movement (which Kagawa pushed vigorously) has flourished. The peace movement is one of the world's strongest. While Christianity has not spread as Kagawa had hoped, at least in numbers of con-

BILL MARUTANI
versions, it continues to have a significant impact on the nation's value ."
Schildgen mentions, but does not venture to assay the role of the postwar U.S. occupation in those reforms. However, he does suggest that Kagawa's charisma led Americans to ascribe to him power beyond what he really had in Japan. ''The desire to revere him was so strong," Schildgen writes , "that his followers in the West placed him on an altar that removed him from the tensions of genuine dialogue ... "
Be that as it may, this volume does an excellent job of putting the Kagawa story in perspective. Kagawa was a remarkable man for his time. This reader was left wondering whether Kagawa had the misfortune to be born a half century too soon. Much of his energy and influence were spent by 1962 when he decried Japan's "growing materialism and the breakdown of sexual morality ," describing the cause as "the price we are paying for modernism and capitalism. The impulse of greed has begun to dominate our lives."
Would he be listened to today? Let's put it another way. His message would seem to be as important today as it was back then.
Commission for Social Justice
THAT'S THE NAME for a national, charitable organization comprised of state and local chapters organized through the Sons ofltaly. It's purpose: "To ensure equal concern, treatment, respect and opportunity for all people." The Commission "works tirelessly, not only to eliminate that which is misrepresentative and ethnically insensitive, but to accentuate and promote that which offers a true and positive portrayal of the Italian American."
An "Italian JACL," in a matter of speaking
MANY JAPANESE AMERICANS may express surprise by the observation that among ethnic groups, Italian Americans are among the most maligned. The various subtle and many not-so-subtle, and all of them with a vicious edge, ways of denigrating an ethnic group. We AJA's (Americans of Japanese ancestry) have heard our own brand and continue to hear new as well as old ones.
Let me share some that Italian Americans experience.
THERE ARE THOSE pervasive concoction of characters that, repeated often enough (as they are),
begin to take on their own non-existent "truth." These are often promoted and propagated through the medium of television as well as the movies. One study showed, for example, portrayal of Italian Americans as: most not speaking proper English; one in six engaged in criminal activities; most had low status jobs, only one in seven being an executive or a professional; on prime time television, almost 50 percent are shown in a negative light, while only one in four is shown in a positive light. _ .
And there are specific, individual incidents. Just to recite a few that space pennits . .
. HA VING FAMILY NAMES that end in a vowel is considered by some segments of our society as being an impediment or a negative factor. (Just reviewing quickly, J can't think of an AJA family name that doesn't end in a vowel. Even "Ohara. ") But can you
. believe that N. Y. Gov. Mario Cuomo was once counseled by law chool official to change hi name? Obviously the governor ' '1d the good ense and integrity to tay as he is.
Another prominent Italian Amer-
ican-Dr. Edmund Pelligrino, former president of Catholic University-was advised by faculty that he would get into medical school, if he changed his last name.
And there are those incessant ads.
THERE'S A PIZZA operation with the name "Godfather's Pizza." I've never been to one of its shop , but no one has to explain to me the innuendos in picking that name. And, yes, the CSJ (Commi sion for Social Ju tice) ha had need to approach this pizza operation to cease offensive, ethnic advertising. Campbell Soup also had to be reproached for a commercial in which Americans of Italian descent were depicted as vulgar, barbaric and lovenly. There was actually a Califor
nia vineyard marketing it wine with the name "Dago Red." Undoubtedly orne of you out in California aw the
bottle in the stores. (J trust you boycotted the stuff.) And, yes, there have been incidents where ome top officer of a major corporation has publicly referred to American of Italian de cent as "wop ."
The message hould be clear for all ethnic group : Bigotry doe not di -criminate.

Thank you for including my paper in your Holiday Issue. As I mentioned in my inilial letter to P.e., the apparent differences in treatment between the interned Japanese American· and the German and Italian POWs has been of interest to me for some lime. It is very gratifying to finally see the story in print.
It seems to me thal each organization concentrated mainly on areas in which they had the most expertise ... no one organization could have done it alone.
We need to keep the momentum going--tbe campaign is not over. Congressmust still allocate Ihe money for redress. Name calling is devisive and destructive at a time when we need to work together. Let's get with it!
