Lesl people quickly accuse me of being ignorant of reali­h· or being a "bleeding heart ," Jet me say that 1 have worked (or years in a field where dangerous people and \"iolenre are ever present. The necessity ot applying appro­priate force to restrain violent people j~ realistic and un­questioned.

The speclacle, al leost the Pi rl lhal I saw on TV, did not represent discipline or re­'Iraint on tbe part oj lhe Chi­ca~o police, and 1 do not in­discriminately criticize police, because I feel we cannot live In a state of anarchy.

However. I cannot express "lron~ly enough my opposition to police clubbing demonstra­tor~ , already under control Rnd hardly in a position to resist Neither can 1 under­litand officers 6 cur r yin g Around the street chasing peo­ple down. who appear to be running away.

To those wbo say thaI much nf the demonstrations w ere planned by proJessional agi­talors, that Ibe police had heen subjected to extreme verbal and other indignitie~,

I'd like 10 say that sucb does nol justify wbal happened.

Whether tt seems reasonable or not. we must expect the actions of police officers to be restrained. Whether they like it or not. they don't have the license. whatever the pro­vocation, to use "bully boy" tactics. In the times we Jive tn. we cannot afford to con­done excesses on the part ot anyone, least o( all those ap­pointed to enforce hw and ju~tiee.

My first experience is beillji( ,eloclcd an oCflcia l deleg"le 10 the Republican NaHonnl ('011-vention here has been Inl~r~

At the .same time. eal'h ddt' ~atc and <tllernate was re­quired to sign an aUida"",i·t :-' tat i n g that he would bl' bound to Governor Real1:olT1 until "released" Mv under­slanding oT the documenl lhill r signed was lo the elfect Ihat I would vole Cor him unlil he re leased Ihe dele~alion.

A iter the caucus on Mon­day. the question arose as to whether or not we were stiLI bound to Governor Reagan since he was no longcr a (av­orite son, but had become an act i ve candidate. In other words there were many who Cell very strongly Ihal we had agreed to vote for him as a favorite 50n candidate only. Among lhose who feU that we were no longer bound alter Ihe Cirsl ballot was ~ Nation­al Commilleeman from Cal­i Cornia, an astute and able at­torney and political activist.

No Vocal Opposition

Ih. affidavit when h. an­nounced his candidacy. A good many oC I h 0 s e Individua l. were Nixon s\ lpporters who resented ihe active candidacy o( Governor Realtn n s ince they k new thAt this would encroach very heavily in the Southern States where a Itood portion oC Nixon's stronglh lay.

There is reason to bell eve that their interpretation was not unreasonable since an an­nouncement had been made thal the dclegation was to be based upon a broad represen­tntion covering the spect.rum or views from Jibei'o l to con­servative.

Tn my defense of those who felt they were had, T was con­Sidered a maverick bv the conservatives. On lhe ' other hand , the statements made by the Nixon supporters should not have becn made to the prcs~ since malters discussed in lhe ('all('u~ were to be kepl out of discLissions outside the mcetin~ s.

After l'evie"'inst the sitUA­tion. it \ .... AS my opinion that Governor Reagan was talked into going a long with the re­solution by some bad advis­ers. A t it meeting held a.cter the resolution was adopted. he indiCAted (hal he had told Ihe individuals wanting to present Ihe resolution, thaI he would go along with whatever the dele~ation wanted. The suc­cessful maneu\'ering Ctnd ram­rod din g o( the resolution through the California Dele­~!atioll ca\1CUS would not have been possible had there beell an1.ple opporlunity for aU in­dividua ls to think it through

Convention .... Ioor SeaHnr

At the opening ~ession o( the Convention on Monday ni~hl. 1 asked Ann Bowler. the National Committeewoman rrom California, as to the pro­cedure used in decidin~ the location or each state delega­tion on the Convention floor She indlcaled thal each slate was g.iven credit for various factors and these pOints were added up.

Among the ladors consid­ered were. one. whether or not Ihe Governor oC the Slale was a Repub1ican: two, the num­ber oC Republican Senators; three, the number oC Repub­lican Congressmen: four, whe­Iher or nol lhe stale mel the financial quola scI by lhe Na­tional Committee; five, whe­ther or not the state legisla­ture was with.in the control of the Republican Party. Many other Cactors were considered in determining the order in which each slate was able to select its posi tion on lhe 0001'.

CaliCornia was 7th on the list and was thus given sev­enth choice. First choice was given to Ihe host stale, Flori­da. My seat ''''as in the third row directly behind several Congressmen, Assemblymen, 5tate senators and other party

leaders. The acllvlly on lh. floor 01

the convenlion throughout Ih. (OUI nlghls was something lo behold. ] have never seen so many news reporters, te levi­sion cameras, pholographers, etc. In one place ns 1 did at the Convention.

Al various points on the 11001', Ihe stralegisls [rom the various camps had lelephones. Roger Morton, a floor man­ager (or Richard Nixon, was two rOws in front of me and three seals over. II was quite interesting lo see how they opernled. His position wa~ si­milar to a field command post

Ex.IUn ... T im.

All in all, lhe aclive parti­cipation in the convention was very exciting to me and T will never forget the excitement and interests one encounters by becoming an active partici­pant. Many things which have never been wri tlen in news­papers or televised, took place behind the scenes and in the vAriou~ caucus rooms. These were especially interesting.

Both my wile, Sally, and daughler. Jann. who aCcom­panied me to the Convention also had a wonderful time and enjoyed the various functions during the Convention. On Wednesday nigh I, bolh my wife and daughter s t <I Y e d from 5 p.m. lo 2 a.m.

On Thursday night , Twas able to slip through some of the security \\ hich had beell established and even had my daughter, Jann, sit with me in lhe delegates' section for about one hour. This was quite an experience for a l3-year old gill.

r hope '·ery strongly that more Nisei would lake an ac­tive pa rt in parlisan politics and have the opportunity of going to national conventions in the luture.

Nisei In PoliUc.

Mrs. Toshl Yamamolo. from Los Angeles, an alternate on Iho CaliCornia delegation, is a good example oC the type o( individual who has worked hard Jor Ihe parly and on Ihe basis oC her hard work, was selected {or the delegation. I find Mrs. Yamamoto to be very hard working and an in­teresting person.

We had Ihe opportunity o( discussin~ many factors con­cerning Nisei participation in politics. I have a great deal oj respect tor her and her knowl­edge oC politics. She is very well known 10 all oj lhe top echelon Republican politicians and her views are very highly respected. It was on the basis of her hard work and parti­cipation in Republican pOlitics that she was selected to the dele,!(ation

ANTI· W AR FEELING

Senator Dan Inouye is In­troduced to del iver the key­note address and receives a standing ovation. He 1aunches into an eloquenl a dd res s which is punctuated by ap­plause in the right places un­tit he begins 10 speak about Vietnam . :. when for the first time there is an indica­tion of the strong anti -war

sen timent among Ihe delegales and in the galleries.

Dan in discussing the di!t ­senters in the country says: "they say the war is an im ... moral one" ... here he rr .. ceives an unexpected reaction

. he is interrupted with " loud cheer wherein those yell ­ing ind icate that Ihey fee l thai the war is indeed immoral · . . when Dan proceeds to justify lhe administration po­sition he is met with some booing . . . I do not recall • prior instance wh ere a key ­note speaker met with boo~

· .. but then there have been few issues that have been ~n

divisive and have created such emotional reactions as the i!=: ­sue 01 the war.

I n what prior Convention [or instance have Senators and olher leaders 01 a party spoken out berore a nation­wide audience (as they did on Wednesday) in condemning the war policy of the Pres­idenl o( their own party~

This minor disturbance wa!lt soon forgotten as Dan went on to make one of the most pertinent and meaningful key­note speeches in the recent history of party conventions. As temporary chairman dur­ing the heated floor fight. Dan handled bimself with firmness, dignity and dispalch.

product 01 a very few indivi­duals who, in my opinion, ga\'e some bad advice to the GovernoL The lotal lime con­sumed in presenting the reso­lution and voting upon it was a pproximately five or six min­utes. II is my opinion that many of the delegates were too surprised and s tunned to say anything and the resolu­tion was adopted by voice vote. No vocal opposition was heard.

Therearler, it was announc­ed thal the resolution was adopted unanImously.

By J . F. WEA DOCK

A question from a woman reader o( the Notebook, who lives in Green Valley, brings back the memories of a peri~ od in the life o{ Arizona, and 01 Ihe United Stales. which is no reason for pride. Instead, it is a rough example of how even here in the United States prejudice and racism, coupled with a kind of mass hysteria. call cause a people to violate their own Constitution, their moral code and the rights of others.

" Did we, in Anzona. have Jaranese internment camps during World War II". she asks.

The answer happens to be " We did!" And it was to our shame, and later regret . that I he majori ty o( the people permitted it to happen with­out protest.

Alien La nd La w

As early as 1935 the Ari-7.ona legislature had before it HB-78, an acl which would forbid an alien. ineHgible for citi7.enship. to own. lease or enter upon land used for ag­ricultural purposes in the state, or to do any work on such land tor the production of crops used for human con­sumption. It also provided tor the confiscation of suc.h crops

The targel for this vicious

1egislation was about 150 J a­panese farmers in the Salt River Valley who, in that post - depression period were making lhe desert highly pro­ductive througb bard, Jamily­type labor and farming "know how"

Our deleriorating re lations with Japan permilled Ihe pro­ponenls oC th is b ill 10 plead oj danger 10 the country and to wave the flag to conceal the real reasons, a desire to destroy competition and to ac­quire, i! possible, the highly developed acreage owned by Ihe Japanese.

But the wave surged on and a (tel' the bombing o( Pearl Harbor the "detention camp" idea burst forth in (u11 bloom.

Japanese lamilie~. (or no nther reason than their na­lional and racial backln'ound~, were rounded up and sent to these camps. Many. in fact th'" greater percenta~. of these

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS

Washmglon \~ Ule post·com ention sessIOn of the 90th Con­

gr~~s convened last week, the first order of business was not the legislation at hand but comments regard­ing the Democratic National Convention a week earlier

in Chicago. Thou~h most of the remarks .\\ere dIrected 10-

ward fbang the blame for the VIolence, lhere ap· peared to be an underlying b elief that the general electoral proce s needed reform, thou gh It was too late for any constructive action this year.

uggestions for reform were offered by both Democrats and Republicans. Senator Ga):lord Nelson (D-Wis.) for instance, prol?osed the creation of a 30-member Federal CommissIOn to work out a new sys­tem for nominating presidential candidates. which would report to Congress .by August 1 . 1969. His . per­sonal recommendations mcluded eIther a nabonal preferential primary to choose each party's presl' dentlal and vice preSidential candidates or a "r~form­ed convention svstem which would guarantee fall' and representative delegate selection and nominating pro·

cedures." Others. like Senate Iajority Leader Mike Mansbeld

of 1Iontana and House !llinority Leader Gerald Ford of Michigan, would also reform the national election

process. enator MansfIeld renewed his call, first made

earlv in the summer before the Republican and Demo­cratic conventions in August. for sweeping election changes including lhe abolition of political conven­tions and the Electoral College system.

Congressman Ford, however. wa not convinced that nominating conventions should be abolished. He ur"ed that they "might be overhauled a little." At th~ same time. fearful that third party candIdate George Wallace of Alabama might prevent either Richard NLxon or Hubert Humphrey from winning a clear majority on November 5. he favored the elimi.nation of the Electoral College system under which each State chooses elector who. in turn. elect the President and the Vice President. If 110 candidate received a clear electoral majority. the election would be decided next January in the House for the PresI­dent ;\nd in the Senate for the Vice President, with each . tate delegation having only one vote in each chambe,

The Hou,~ trOP Li'ader said that he tended to endorse the idea of thf popular election of the Presi­dent, wi;h " runofi election if necessary This plan Is proposed by the American Bar Association

The abolition of the Electoral College would re­qure a constitutional amendment.

COLUSA - This county scat community, prcparinFt to cele­brat. thc 100th annlvcrsary of its Incorpomtion as a elty, has a bit oC It. history tied to lour wooden bulldlngs on the cas t bank oC thc Sacramento River flvc mllcs south of town.

There Is llttle, II any, writ­tcn history o[ the camp.

H is known th. t as Car back as 1889, Naot.lo Yoncdo or Osaka, a J apanese with an eye (0 buslncss, estabUshed 0 10-

bOlo camp on the banks ot the Sacramento at a place called Yoneda's Landing.

"Harcily a Japanese ot the

H I. boarcilng house and trading post served hundreds ot J apanese immigrants. Tho landing stlll exls ls under tho name ot Ward's Lancilng.

With the land cleared and (lme had not had hll lite the labor g an g. no longer touched by the magic ot rlee needed, Yoneda dismantled tarming in the Colusa County his trading post and moved area.

One does not need an appreciation of tltings J apa­nese to enjoy the beauty, the serenity, the disciplined peace that is provided by San Jose's Japane.se garden. One can know nothing about Japan and Its cultw'e and still sense sometlting of t h ~ l ~ve. of nature that is such a large part of that nallon s life. And so the creation of the Japanese garden here, the result of the effort of many hands, is a fine community asset and certainly something all citizens of San Jose can be proud of." Many other communities have so m ew ~at similar gardens and still others are contemplating such projects, efforts worthy of encouragement.

PEARS AND WALNUTS-Enroute to the Japa­nese garden, we walked through a grove of trees that looked like nothing r had ever seen. The trunks of these trees were somewhat larger and looked much older than the branches that grew out of them, and the leaves looked sometlting like those of peach trees but longer and larger. Haruo explained the t rees looked that way because the branches had been graft­ed to older stock. I asked what kind of trees they were and Haruo said he wasn't quite sure but they looked like walnuts.

Since I had never seen walnut trees I went for a closer look and found what appeared to be many dozens of green pears among the leaves.

These fO Ul' s tructures, 500n

(0 be ,·azed. are all that are lelt ot 50 bu lldlngs In what was once n Japanese camp hOllslng laborers and their lamilies. It has been the J a­panese camp for longer than anyone now !lving in Colusa can remember.

The camp is dcserted now. Overseers of area form work­ers live in five troller homes communities and live in near­by communities and travel to and from work in their own automoblles. But it was n ot a,lway! so.

Arrive in 1869

It was in 1869 that lhe flrs t J apanese immigrants began to arrIve in San Francisco in

Yoneda also was the tore­man of gangs clearing land which is now one ot the most fertile and productive agricul­lural tract. In Colusa County .

Kenlchlro Oklkaw a, the last resident ot the camp, recalled Yoneda was a tough forema n.

Few Women in Camp

Oldkawa arrived In San F rancisco f rom Japan In 1898 and by 1900 w as a member ot Yoneda's labor gang. He !lved in the camp with about 130 others, most ot them bache­lors.

Oldkawa took up farming

Ralph Emerson and other American

influences on Japan thought recalled Kanda wrote on Emerson

in his diary 8S tollows:

Into Colusa where he estab­llshed a J apanese Center on Main St.

Okikawa continued to live in the camp farming the land for the absent owners. It was not untll two years ago that Okikawa, his wlte, son and grandchlldren moved from the camp Into a new home bullt by the son, Jiro, in Colusa.

Japaoese Decrease

Okika wa has many recol­lectlons ot tho old camp.

By 1917-18, the number ot Japanese re.lding at the camp had dropped , but there .tlIi was a sizable colony. They were engaged In ralslng rice, beans, and plan ling walnut and p rune orchards.

By the end ot World War r, Yoneda had moved on but the J apanese s tore and center re­mained, a long with a Japanese Ichool which was bullt In Co­lusa by contributions trom Japanese w ho had become a.f­tluent in the r ice Industry.

E-Z TERMS "These aren't walnuts," I said, "they're green pears."

By TAlllOTSU IIIURAYAlllA

TOKYO-Influence ot Ameri­can writers .ince the visit ot Commodore Perry throughout the last century is beyond ordinary Imagination. Many ot them have directly or In ­directly tormulated Japanese thoughts and behavior in so­ciety.

"lIlar. 19, 1897. We had a great and rare treat thI. even­ing In listening to a lecture by Ralph Waldo Emerson on the sublect : 'The Superlatlve or Mental Temperance'. It was an essay u p a n the use at superlatives in our speech and action, a plea for the positive or the simple. He said. 'Simp!lelty is goo d enough for all that Is good'.

LUXURIOUS Haruo, who has grown wise and cautious over the

years, wasn't about to challenge the assertions of a world-traveled newspaperman who can be expected to be well-informed about almost everything. None­theless, he was skeptical enough pick one of the "pears" and crush it under his foot. The outer husk broke open, revealing an immature walnut. That's how I learned for the first time that walnuts are like coconuts in that the part you eat grows inside a heavy, useless husk.

Now I wish someone would tell me how they get the nut part out of the husk.

• • • JET TRAVEL-After a deplorably brief stay in

San Jose, we headed south by jetliner for San Diego by way of Los Angeles. The bright·eyed young lady in the next seat (how could she be so bright-eyed after the kind of hours the Junior JACLers kept?) identified herself as Lynn Watanabe. She said she was a senior-ta-be at the illinois Institute of Tech­nology, that she lived in Chicago, that she flew to San Jose for the convention, that she was enroute to San Diego, and that she would fly to New York City for a Buddhist young people's gathering before firuJlly going home.

r reacted like a parent and a member of the older generation and remarked that it seemed like an awful lot of traveling for a young lady. She must have caught the flicker of dollar signs in my eyes because she pointed out that students flying on a stand-by basis can cover an astOnishing number of miles for relative­ly little money.

Suddenly I felt terribly old because I was almost a grown man before I had either the money or the temerity to travel all the. way from Seattle to Port­land-about 200 miles in those days-for a JACL convention. Lynn was busy eating carmel corn, which was her breakfast, so r decided not to bore her with details about my youth.

PhHadelphia

The unfortunale Paellic War ot 1941-45 temporarily wiped out the deep appreci­ation the Japanese had ot America, but today the Japa­nesa are trying to retrace tbat Impact ot American thought and achievements in Japan.

Most inDuential was Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose essays were widely used In Engllsh textbooks used in Japan over the years. IDs lines we r e memorized and uttered often.

The diaries and letters ot Japanese studenls and oUici­als who had met tamou. American writers reveal their impressions.

Baron Tanetaro Tagame, who was sent to America in 1870 to study, was interpreter tor the Japanese Mission headed by Deputy Prime Minister Tomomi Iwakura in 1872. The baron noted:

"When they came to Bos­ton, I had the good fortune to serve with the Board ot Trade in helping at the reception, and hence the honor of being present at a distinguisbed din­ner at the Revere House. The toast was given by Governor Alexander Rice, an ablE! ora­tor; the poet of the evening was Oliver Wendell Homes, and the final speaker ol the evening no less than that of Ralph Waldo Emerson ot Concord, who expressed noble sentiments about J apan and Bushido!'

Baron Naimu Kanda, whose contribution to have English as part at the school curricu­lum in J apan was tremen­dous, went to America as a lad of 14 to study. He ac­companied Minister Arinori Mori, who had studied in England and America wilh Kanae Nagasaw3, the Japa­nese pioneer at Fountain Grove, Santa Rosa, Calll.

"He spoke of Nature, how she never indulge. in the su­perlative, but always express­es berselt in the plain, the simple, the posilive. Iiis lec­ture was tull ot amusing il­lustration. ot superlatives and the posllive In our speech and thought and action. His great simplicity ot speech, d r e • • and manner was the best il­lustration ot his thoughtful essay.

"We sat there 10r one hour, charmed by every sentence he uttered and when he ended I could not but leel that I had received an impetus toward a life ot greater simplici ty and truthfulness."

Baron Kanda returned to Japan to lecture widely on Emerson's concepts of Na­ture, Friendship, Civilization and Art. Masaichi Sotoyama was another Emerson d iSCiple, lecturing on Culture, Bebav-

ltornia delegation. I do n ot know how the selection proc­ess went, but my reply has always been that it was prob­ably due to the tac t that they needed some minority repre­sentation on lhe delegation and that I knew some ot the individuals who were on the 30 - man steering commiltee who helped select the delega­tion. All ot the representatives on the 30-man steering com­mittee from this orea were friends ot mine and they all recommended me to the Gov­ernor. I telt very honored to have been selected as a dele­gate. It has made me more aware of my duties to my country to become more ac .. tive in politics.

Those of us on (he local and d istrict levels m ay not be aware of the hours of soul­searching by Our National of­ficers and leaders, individual­ly and collectively. in coming to grips with JACL's action role in civil and human rights.

The 20th Biennial National JACL Convention is now his­tory. By the lime this piece goes to press, you will have read about the decisions made and the discussions had at this National Convention ; our concern for human rights, re­newal of emphasis on Japan -America relations, the two jOint adult/youth sessions on civil rights and the Generation Gap. The successful Conven­tion banquet, testimonial and Teco~ition luncheons, the Whing Ding will all be report­ed on.

WILL LOAN ON YOUR SIGN!lTURE

The issue was not whether J ACL should lake an educa­tional or social action orient­ed approach, but what steps would be most realistic, PI ac­tical and effective. In short, what ''''as recommended is an integl-ated program of short term and long range goals.

I am not a long time N a­tional Convention attendee so I can not relate much history of conventions, but with my relatively limited exposure to conventions. I believe that this 201h Biennial Convention in San Jose seemed a little more intimate, a little more homey than previous conventions to this writer. It may have been due to the motel atmosphere or maybe the noodles served up by the host Chapter for a midnighl snack.

YOlhimura pointed out that the allen land law passed by the State at Caillornla in 1913 deprived many ot the Japa­nese ot their possession., but there .Ull were Japanese who farmed rice and made and lost forlunes.

After the forum on Friday. tbe Jr. JACLers went for fun and relaxation to Frontier Vil­lage lor a barbeque and dance. While tbere. they even wll­ne~sed a live "gunf.ight", with the good guys winning, of course. The entire park was open 10 the J ACLers, witb the ni~ht climaxed by the dance, f eat uri n g the "Sometbing Else".

The Final Day

The last day ot the Conven­tion was marked by the vol­le"ball tournament and the Lawn Party. The slave auction was a huge success, with fan ­tastic amounts ot money being bid for each person. I'll never forget carrying water balloons in a "little red wagon" from the dorms to the Lawn Party for the balloon toss game, which ended the afternoon.

Perbaps ona 01 the most In­teresting events of the con­vention for me was in the Sa­yonara Banquet. It was a well-run acth-rity, with the highlight of the evening being the guest speaker, Whitney Young, Jr. His short, but in­spiring speech held my undi­vided attention. and the al­tention of the entire audience

our first Los Angeles -Tokyo night flight.

1t was renlly nn Inspiring and beaulllul speech by Ru .. , which brought lears to the eyes of many J ACLers, and brought Ihe cnlire audience 10 it. feet 10 honor him with tan­lastlc applause. We all Ihank Russ for the wonderful nnd hard work which he has done (01' oil Jr. J ACLers the past I wo years, and wish t.he best to our ncw Chairman, Patti Dohlen.

Finally, Ihe end of the con ­venUon 8nived t wilh the Sa­yonara Ball .1 the Civic Audi­torium. The decorations were b.nulllul, Ihe bands wonder­luI, and the delegates happy, with a few sad faces, os the p ,. 0 s p e c I of parUng from friends sll'Uck lhem. The jun­Iors relurned to Royce Hall that night for a final good-bye and a special treat 01 pizza lor Ihe final night.

In Retrospect

The enUre convention seem­ed to me 10 be a comblnaUon ol tun, Inspiration, and learn­ing. Througb tbe combined activities 01 discussion. and outings, the delegates were able 10 meet one another, ex­change Ideas, and have fun.

Few people know of the late hours spent by the National youth Council In their meet­Ings. Tbey sacrificed t bel l' sleep to get their work done; many remaining up all night tor their meetings.

There are truly too many people to thank or congratu­late lor this con v e n ti 0 n . Tbrough all the efforts ot the Seniors and JuniOrs, the '68 convention \\-'ill be one which will be remembered by many 1'or so many years to come. I hope that the delegates which aUended Ielt It to be worth­while to them. I'm only sorry that the Junior JACL was not started even sooner, for now when the goals and ambitions seem 10 be really taking shape, there are those of us wbo are oul 01 the age limit 01 the Junior J ACL. Perbaps a young adult group will b~ formed for us soon.

Witb this tinal convention article, I wish to extend my thanks for a wonderful con­vention to all those who plan­ned it, to those who attended, and to those wbo sent their best wishes. A special thanks and congratulations to Sharon Uyeda, our youth cbairman for the convention, and to the San Jose Jr. JACL for their hard work, and tinally, to the best advisers anywhere, Miss Beverly Takeda, Ben Hori­uchi, and Richard Tanaka. Their guidance and under­standing helped to make it so much easier for all 01 U8 in­volved.

I leave you and this column now, sadly, but bappily, that so many of you did find your way to San Jose!

them aU for sheer dam fool­ishness.

An editor who had made no protesl 01 such treatment for American citizens was sbown a certificate for incorporation made out to some J apanese in the Parker and Sacaton camps. The Japanese wisbed to operate a small canteen in each of the camps so tbeir people could purchase with their own money, certain niceties which did not come under camp fare. One of theiP own businessmen suggested the corporate setup to facili­tate purcbasing, etc. A civilian lawyer was hired to handle tbe details. He ' used a stan­dard incorporation form, tiled it, paid the fee and it was ac­cepted. Someone showed a copy to the aforementioned editor. In reading it he foun d that the attorney, in bls ap­plication, had made no change in the form. The canteen op­erators were empowered, UD­der Arlzona law to build an operate railroads, truck lines, ocean - going shipping and what bave you <as is always there in the fine print).

The balloon went up! A plot to take over tbe western Unit­ed States was uncovered! An injunction was sought to stop this dangerous thing- and on, far into the nigbt.

Only the voice of the Star pleaded for legality, sanity and compassion. It was Ignor­ed. Political profit and per­sonal greed spoke more loud­ly. The public sbam~ came much later.

But remembering it today may be belpful-and bealthy. For he who fails to read bis­tory, it Is said, may be called to relive it!

For exam ple, in bOBeball you wou ld never see the s low­est J'unner on the team bat­ting in the lead-all spot, nor would you pOBltlon " leet­handed thrower on the left side 01 the diamond . L ikewise In bowling, on evaluation 01 Ihe !lve individuals must be taken belore the mosl logical line-up is devised .

For Ihe lead-all spot. and contrary to general consensus, I leel that this Is the most vllal position on the team. The I.ad-orr man has a delinl te job. He must keep the team "keyed up" throughout the en­Ure series and, at the same time, supply the team wilh suHiclenl confidence via con­sistency In his owe game. In short, it's B very good Idea to have your best s hooter leading the a!tack.

'THE GENERATION GAP'

"Generation Gap" forum at the San .Jo~e JACL Convention cleared t he air for tbe parents and. chil­dren generations to the extent that they were wIl1mg 10 communicate--if not agree-with each other. The Chicago JACL Convention will probably.contmue the series-and we can't think of a beller pall- of modera­tors than author .lames Michener and his Nisei wife

Mari Whereas the San .10 e format dwelt on what the

two generations thought of the JACL organization and cultural heritage , the ~lichenE'r fo;mat (after read­ing IIlichener's article in the New.). ork Tllnes ~~aga-7ine of Aug 18 on "The Revolullon 111 l\1ldd.le-Class "alues") will dissect and analyze the senslhve dll­ferences of the two generations. With this kind of dia­logue. the isei and ansei may agree 10 work 10-

gether under the aegis of JACL and study together the richness of their Japanese heritage.

Ha\'in/: (wo moderator may not be Hoyle· bul if "~l1ch" is' unahle to make it. ~lari can handle the a.si~men t in a very vibrant fashion. We remember ~itling with :llari and others at .JACL com'cnlions af­ter sessions tearing apart the Nisei psyche (and .TA­CL, too) and trying 10 reshape it in a more ideal mold _ .. But du~l moderators will mean no quiet moments at all.

\\'hat are the middlc-class \'alues which l\lichener sees In ferment today? These are the values which predominated in the -parent generation as the good and desirable--but which the young generahon mllu­mues. Thu "1 have been forced to re-evaluate them" Mkhener say'.

Ethics-The older generation lived primarily Ilith· in the Christian ethic. But such auslere figures as .Tohn Knox. John Call'in. Martin Luther and Thomas Aquinas for the perceptive young person today seem "slightly ridiculous" ... In trying to introduce the matter of religious ethics to a young group. one girl said to Michener. "Please! Today the Pope is just as ~onfused as we are"

Morals-To get ahead, one had to subscribe to Puritannical virtues but today "no Single strand of middle-class values has been rejected more totally in recent years than this strangling rope of Puritanism which once bound us so strongly. and against which fhe young have rebelled with such contempt .,

Education-As a cornerstone for success. educa­lion \\'as a must. Issei sacrificed so their Nisei children would ha 'e a better opportunity. AI ichener calls this the "middle-class faith in education" .. Yet, he ob­serves. the upper classes have done little for the edu­ration of anyone but themselves.

Mobility-Young people ridicule the legendary middle-class struggle to attain a better station in life. hut thi:. central helief tbat a son of a ditch digger could become a college president is still being illustrat­ed. A wayward son of the top family in town could drag bottom. too ... Michener finds young people helieve that man is no better off "ahead" than when he was when he started.

Competence-The older held that competence set the limits as to what a man could become. Without skills, you were sentenced to mediocrity. And com­petence was not equated with formal education, as Michener explains. "to th.is day I retain a sense of awe in the presence of anyone who knows how to do something."

Hierarchy-Though America has no royalty, there is strongly ingrained the prinCiple of hierarchy or "class consciousness." The strong affection for this value, Michener feels. has been a strong factor for social stability ... But much of the young today protest our country-club pretensions.

Responsibitity-This commitment to the doctrine of responsibility-that man is responsible for himself and his fami.!)': a group of families for their respec­tive commUlllhes-has created the multitude of public charities in America (schools, museums, hospitals. etc.) which are not evident in other countries such as Spain and Japan. It is tragic, Michener adds. that this ex­ercise of responsibility does not operate in areas like race relations or preservation of our cities.

Accumulation-Slrongest motivating faclor among the American middle-class is that urge toward ac­cumulation (money, property, etc.) ... But this is a ~ania. too, says Michener. for the man who has spent hiS most productive years of his life to accumulate is powerless to answer his children who ask, "Why did you do It, Pop? What good did you gel oul of it ••. 111'0 cal'S and three picture windows?"

Optimi.,m-This is lhe most appealing middle-class ~alue, a sense of "general euphoria" as Michener calls It.. In spite of war, depreSSions and other sethacks, the middle-class clings to its optimism And to demon­~trate his point, 'Ilichener finds Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse who humi.liated a battalion of cats each week in Techmcolor cartoon as the epitome of optllnism. "I suppose lhe damage done to the American psyche Will not be specified [or another 50 years, but even now I place mucb of the blame for Vietnam on the bland attitudes sponsored by our cartoons," Michener notes.

• • I have tried to cream off the essence of Michener's

Presidenl Lyndon B. .John­son said. "None have worked harder. (ought more bravely, or contributed finer sons and daughter, to their adopled home than our citizens o( .Ja­panese anceslr .....

It Is up 10 you, lhe parents, to draw the ties o[ our heri­lage logether. to mold your children into a masterpiece Ihat all Americans will be proud or.

For some .Tnpanese Amer­Icans who have deviated and completely rebelled. perhaps their bodie, or plastic clay will nO longer yield or bend, but we have another group Ihat 1 Ihink has been neglect­ed.

Yes, our heritage is chan~­ing, but we can throwaway Ihe bamboo-hashi and the ki­m 0 1'1 o.

Mary Jane

Slouched In a cl'adle ore­ated by an ermine white three-piece soCa on one side and a plush colored Willon carpel on the othor, Mar)' Jane. her head nodded to Ih. pneumatic tolk·rock sounds ot the Strawberry A I arm Clock. In e n tall;' thumbed tbrough ber weekend, the last before another nine months o( hitting the books and relived only her frivolous experiences.

Drying her wet and wi Id finger nail polish, Mary Jane remembered the last groovy pot party. lt was only her third experience at inhaling grass, but she was aware that Saturday ni1!nt's bash was cheap and probably home grown. Three sticks and no kicks. she told herseli.

Half mesmerized by the ear piercing sounds from the ra­dio. now playing the 1001-stompi~ music 01 Sly and the Family Stones, stiU reminis­cing Mary Jane was less cri· tical of Ihe out-ol-town boy, 5i.he met for the first lime at the party. They presented a

new and exciting experience for her. a chaJlen1!e for her Ieminine ego.

And naturally, there were a lso the boys she knew, the familiar faces. sprinkled with acne and scented with orienlal fragrance. Her relationship with them was coexistence. and nothing desirably more.

Among her newly discover· ed friends at the party. she was espeCially captivated by George, He was hip to the Nehru scene and cast an ail' of living an exciting IUe, over pretentious, but who wasn't at the party.

As (or making·out, Georgp was her equal; maybe too much so, she thought. But, without humiliation. she hoped her permissi\'eness had whet his curiosity tor more of the :Si:im~, and perhaps. ask her out to anal her groovy pot party

It was nt"aring dinner time and her parents were hur­riedly preparing (or thei r weekb· bowling session, an­other one of their homes away from home.

Shouting to ove.rcome the radio, Mary JanQ'S mother or­dered her to wash up for din­ner, and reminded her it wa' her night 10 baby sit for her lillie brolher. AIler hearin!! no audible response from Mary Jane. her mother shook her head in disgust. returned to the kilchen. and continued cooking

Within her bnghtl.\· ht bed­room, cluttered with teeJ" magazines, op- art wall post­ers. and clothes, Alary Jane faced her full length mirror and took more Ul.an a discern ­able interest at its reflection.

Peering through her tinted contact lenses at her reflected eyes in the mirror, Mary Jane tbought how ridiculous it was Cor her counterparts in Japan to have double eyelid and breast operation~; and with­out breaking her trance, she stood beCore the mirror mi ­micking a seducllve pose she saw last week or Rachel Welch, but knev.· her natural endowments [ailed to com­plete the imitation.

My Hangup

There'~ no rational reason lor it, but I get perplexed and irritated by some of the "inl' phrases and slang used indis· criminalely today by both the IN-siders and the pseudo "IN­siders."

For example, when a guy (regardless of ho, .. · sincere he sounds) tell me, "Man. I ~ol to do my 'lhing.' No maller what, l've just goUa do my ·thing· " A1tbough I know bet­ler, I still can't shake the thougbt that the poor ~uy's

The situation worsens con­siderably when the pel'son is a woman and she asks, "When are YOU going to start doin~ your 'thing"'" And you think HERE'! Or when she asks, "\Vhen are we going to start doing our 'tbing' together"'"

Another example is the use 01 "Getting down to the nilly grilly." This upsets me, Any­one using this phrase quickly makes it on my "Pbony-
