includes Asian American group

1000 CLUB TOUR

Afler reading Frank Saka­moLo and l\1as Satow's report about the I 0 0 0 Club Japan Tour, I now \\~ s hed I could have joined in on some of the fun and frolic the Ja­pan escapade appeared to provide with gus to.

Reading about Tokyo, Ha­kone! Atami. [mperial Palace, Meijl Shrines, Kamakura and the great Buddha, Nagoya, Kyoto, Beppu and lhe Taka­razuka Dancers brought back Dostalgic memories of the J a­pan I remember when r went over as a green-behind-the­ear high school graduate tresh out o( MIS.

I had heard about the CIC boys who had it made in the outly ing districts a nd scoUed at what I lbought were lbeir exaggerated stories of living like a king.

(Special to The Pacl.6c CJtlzenl WASHINGTON - A Special Concerns Session to explore the needs of Asian American elderly has been scheduled as parI ot the White House Con­[erence on Aging to be held in Washington, D.C. the week of Nov. 28-Dec. 2, according to the Washington JACL Office.

More than 35 delegates are expected 10 attend lhe Asian American Special Concenls Session. 10 denne the unique problems thaI Asian Amer­ican elderly face and to make policy recommendations that would correct lbese special problems.

Included are delegates who are representing Filipino, Ja­pan~se. Chinese, Korean. and Samoan communities. The delegates were named by their respective governors or di­rectly by the White House.

Four Al'eas Noted

Some issues that the Asian American group are expected to focus upon are:

I-Necessity of culturally sensitive programs designed for the Asian American el­derly.

2-Need for bilingual in­formation and service deliv­ery systems.

3-Need [or health services relevant to Asian American needs.

4-Need for Fedel'a! grants specifically allocated to meet the unique cultural needs of small enclaves of ethnic mi­nority aged.

5-0lber areas that the del­egates are expected to raise.

In the United States today, though unknown to

most, a significant number of Americans who are of Asian ancestry are sufferi ng unprecedented crises. in their various communities. P roblems o f crlp pLlI1g se\'eritv. which have been hidden from view within Asian American groups for many years, are now flar· ing up with devastaling results. Wi UlOut exception, all American minorities of Far East origin are victims of injustices. inequities, and inequali ties in one form or another. Indeed. it would not be an exaggeration to report that the problems of oth er e thnic a nd racia l minorities in this country are r eflected in a greater or lesser degree in Asian Am erican population centers.

Ever since Asian Americans were first brought to our shores more than a century ago to help conquer the then wilderness West, most Americans have lended to ignore them, conSidering Ulem-if at all-as "most· ly a Pacific Coast problem".

Accordinglv, even though. first the Chinese. then the Japanese, - and more recently the Filipinos, Ko· reans, and other immigrants from East Asia, t hey ex· perienced probably more travail than most Eu ropean immigrants because of their Asian origin and identi· fication. Relatively little attention has been paid to lhese recent newcomers on a national scale. As a mal· ter of fact . even on the West Coast of late they h ave been more ignored than noticed, particularly insofar as their economic, educational. socia l, and pOlitical needs are concerned.

Altogether, all those of Asian ancestry in the United States number less than a mlllion a lld a half, less than one percent of the population at this time. And perhaps some 80 percent of these reside in just two states, Hawaii and California . Moreover, since those of A ian origin are a small minority even i.n California 's population while those in Hawaii consti· tute a snbstantial portion of Ulat state's people, the problems of these two key areas are quite different in everal respects.

Nevertheless. the very minuteness of the Asian American popUlation has prevented the segregation of official and other data to demonst.rate their plig)1t and their problems as has been done for most oUler ethnic and racial minorities ill the U niled States.

As it is, due ~ J the ir cultural background and their desire to be accepted inlo the mainstream of American life in spite of the prejudices and discriminations that have been directed against them since their an-ivaI. the immigrant Asian and their citizen children have deliberately refrained in the past from complaining of their troubles and from actively demanding all of the benefits and grants provided by their govel'llJ11ent, from. the local to the state and the federal levels.

Citizenship rule

favors Filipino SAN FRANCISCO - An or. del' (hat could make a quar­ter of a million Filipinos eli· gible (or naturalization as U.S. citizens was Signed last week ( fOV. J6) in an F1-an­cisco by U.S. Dist. Judge Lloyd H . Burke.

The order was signed in the case of ]\larciano Haw Hibi. 54. who became eHgible for citizenship by serving in the armed forces under Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Hibi's court pl'oceedlllg was begun when the government lried to deport him because his visa had expired. He was denled. citizenship because he had nol been naturalized while still in Ihe service.

A .pecial seelion during lhe war permitted aliens in the armed forces to become Amer­ican _ citizens without coming to the United Slates.

It is estirna ted Iha t 250.000 Filipinos could gain citizen­ship on similar grounds.

LOS ANGELES - Twenty­one Japanese American stu­dents \ViU be beneficiaries this year of tbe Abe Hagiwara Student Aid Awards made by the National JACL, It was aJl­nounced by Dr. Roy Nishi­kawa, chairman of the Na­tional Studenl Aid Commiltee.

Greeley and Ft. Collins, Colo., are also interested in .tarting Jr. J ACL chapters. I will be meeting with AYCT next month to finalize their formation of a new Jr. JACL cIlstrlcl

The primBry purpose of AY­CT is community oriented­They have been cleaning up the Issei center, which is al­so their meeting place. Dr. Tak Mayeda has been very instrumental in trying to get support for AYCT. He realizes that the youth need to be sup­ported and that they are the future leaders. . YELLO~ ' BROTHERHOOD

Tbe Yellow Brotherhood, as you have probably been in­formed through Willie Fuii­namJ t is reorganizing since the recent tragedy.

Asian Sisters, Youth and Drugs, Drug Offensive and the Yellow Brotherhood ,,~ll

be working "Together" out of the House.

At this time we al'e strug­gling \vith developing a house policy because we feel that withoul it would be impossi­ble 10 coordinate all the group programs under one roof.

The groups will have to un­derstand that the bouse and its fWlction have priority over the individual groups so that the groups won't go off doing their OWll thing, thus weaken­ing the uni t. W~ are painting aJld dOing

reprur work on the house. No programs will be disclosed un­til our house policy is de­veloped.

OTHER FRONTS

On Hallowe'en. we can­vased OUT community with the ··S1orefronl" paper. That even-

ing we passed out candy whlcb we had wrapped earlier thai day and had a cartoon show­ing lor the trick or treating kids in our community.

Unfortunately Oct. 30 was announced as the oUicial night for the kids to go trick or treatin, therefore, on the 31st we didn' t get the response we had antiCipated. Bul the tUm showing was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Northern California-West­ern Nevada district youth council had their fall quarter­ly in Stockton, Oct. 23 and 24. I had a chance to meet some of the newly elected chapter oUicers and rap with them on Jr. JACL.

The 1972 National J r. JACL Convention will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Susan Yoshimura and David Hirai, co-chaumen of IDye, are in cbarge. After the November quarterly at Salt Lake City they will of(icially hegin working on the cODvention programs. This is their first cO,nvention. Therefore, they will need suggestions and belp from interested individ­uals, chapters and districts.

The Riverside Jr. JACL re­cently bad a jOint session with their Sr. Chapter. Lori Ogata chapter chainvoman, said they have received compliments about the meeting b;om the Seniors. I attended the plan­ning meeting with David Takashima, District Youth Commissioner. I was very im­pressed with their dll'ection and desire to put on the pro­gram. I hope that a clearer definition of Sr.-Jr. relation­ships is formulated and that more inter-action takes place.

Dr. Nishikawa had proposed the pilot program in the Pa­cific Southwest District Coun­cll which uncovered a need tor scholarship aids to needy students who did not Quality for other scholarship help based on academic achieve­ment.

A total of 68 applications were received for the fund named in honor of the late Abe HagiwaJ'a of Chicago, ac­tive Midwest JACLer. The 21 grants totalling S3,700 were distributed among five of the eight JACL districts as fol­lows:

PSWDC (8) , CCDC (3), NC-WNDC (6). MDC (3). EDC (I) . Names of recipients and specific amounts are not publicized.

Since J ACL bad funded the program for $4,000, the re­maining $300 was set aside to cover costs for futln'e fund w·ives. Kathy Kadowaki of Cleveland, Ohio, is chairman oC the fund drive.

" It was a difficult task to screen the applications down to a workable number, with the the limited lunds available to us," the Student Aid Com­mttee stated. "We hope tb.is program not only minimally helps students but also estab­lishes evidence to the com­munity that adequate atten­tion sbould be given to insure equal opportunity for all sec­tors of tbe community,"
