Sansei Identity

history, with emphasls upon the wartime e..~odus to relo­cation ~nters. has kept me hopping. Thls freedom. now enjoycd by sllldents to invlle "guest experls" to da ... s to d.i~cuss events of current in­teresl is a bealt~· thing.

I can remember that there was a marked lack 01 outside .peakers, and imagmative technIques of teaching, wben I was a high schooler.

Student feedback suggest.; lbal their teachen are well­inlormcd aboul the world we live in and, more imporlant. are otten able to stimulate student interest in what thev are stucb;ng, When classes are relevanl at lbe mgh acbool level, certainly we can be more optimistic about lbe "bole process or cducalion.

Closer to home, th. e,ident Interest of Sansei sludents iu exposing their classmates to their background is a practic­al reflection of increased awareness of their Identity.

"TBB LOOKING GLASS"

The San Jose Jr. J ACL re­eently recognized several local Nisei for oulstanding rom­munity service; the Rev. K. Tokunaga of the San J 0 • e Buddhist Church, Vice Mayor Norman Mineta, and Dr. Tok hbikawa, a San Jose physici­an. Congratulations are due these very deserving com­munity leaders.

The speaker of the evening "'as National Youth Commi.­aloner, Mike Suzulo, wbo shared some very timely and pertinent thoughts about Issei, Nisei and Sansei. He describ­cd the age of the Issei and Nisei, their sell concept and their hangups. He saw lb. age of the Sansei as being right with us now, and that they are setting the stage for the next 100 years o( Japanese Americans in the United Stales.

For those who listened care­fully, I feel lbat MIke pul in very clear perspective some or the aspirations or the San· l ei, including the kind of m isunderstandings that are popularly called "generation gaps."

CENTENNIAL

Tbanks to the driving en­ugy and leadership of JACL­ers such as George Oki, Jam •• Murakami, Henry Taketa, and Akiii Yosmmura, the Waka­ma!.!u Centennial Project 5eems assured of success. The financial drive bas gone over the top and the JWle 7th fes­tivities appear destined to al­trad large crowds.

~:~e~dhJ ~~f~:j?ma. Ve Ed',: Time to Be Counted

CHICAGO - By ereating an affluent society. American in­dus'ry paved Ihe way for the youth revolution, Sen Daniel K. Inouye has lold Chicago Democrats.

The Hawaii senator spoke al Ihe Conrad Hilton Holcl May 20 to Ihe annual dinner 01 lbe Democratic Party of Cook County.

"Back in the Middle Ages, a child was lorced into adult­hood when he was less than 10 years old," Inouye said. "That diflicull period we now call 'adolescence' was made possible by the mass produe­lion techniques of Ihe Indus­trial Revolution."

Of the contlicl bel wee n youtb and Iheir elders, Inouye said:

flOne reason we taU to understand this new dlscon· tent is because we ourselves have been engaced in are· volution. 'Ve and other modern technological socie­ties boLVe been engaged in this revolution for some de· cades now, and with rrea.ter or lesser vit:or we are sUIl en~a,ed In It. "This (younger) gencralion,

product of our successful re­volution. does not. yearn tor a decent standard of living as we did ; it assumes it because it grew up with it. Its goals, howe v e r ill-defined, have moved far beyond those we were raised on , ..

"Secure in their unprece­dented aUluences and educat­ed in idealism, the young are impatient with the areas in wh.ich our revolution is in­complete. They are impatient to Ihe point of anger with the pockels of poverty and whole regimes of racism,

HypocrIsy

"Thai our (older) genera­tion has apparently discover­ed these inequities only re­cently, they see as evidence of our hypocrisy ...

numbers in some vast IBM system manipulated by amoral and face less forces."

Youth has been criticized because it appears to have no

g~~i~:ead~~~J:s. Inouye said.

"We have asked, 'What trees do lhey plan I?' Perhaps we ask too much. Perhaps we are so stung by what we see as ingratitude and even re­Jection that we in the process have ra iled to renew and re­vitalize the leadership the young have always expected of their elders."

Inouye u r g e d tha.t the older generation complete its own revolution. .lOur hungry must be fed, our un­skilled educated and train· ed. and new employment opportunities opened!' he said. HOur welfare system must be drastically over­hauled. And we must ber-in no\v."

America has lacked a "sys_ tematic national plan" to fight pollution, beautify ilsel1 and improve its cities. Inouye said.

He called lor a Hcompre­hensive national commission" to eslablish the guidelines tor future action. "We can hardly look our grandchildren in Ihe eye. le t alone our children, it Ihrough further neglect we despoil our dwindling natural rcsources and pollute the en­vironment that sustains us," he said.

Today, most Japanese Americans-we believ&-are quite happy and satisfied with their lot and life in these United states, and to many of their fellow citi­tens they are among the "better adjusted. more ac­ceptable" minorities, with few, if any. substantIal civil rights problems to circumscribe their lives and their futures.

W. Ir. keenly IWI,.. thlt in some circles nowadays there is a t endency to try to downgrade the general and individual accomplishments of those of Japanese ancestry in this country, that it is popular in certain quarters to suggest that the "success story" of the J apanese in America is a myth conjured up by racists and that what they have achieved and what they enjoy are only at the temporary sufferance of the so-called establishment and white majority.

But, the struggle of the Japanese for the past cen­tury to overcome the many legal, economic, and social obstacles is not fiction, and their place in American society is not one to be ashamed of. Indeed. a social scientist recently asked, "What other American na­tionality group has come so far so fast under such difficult circumstances as the Japanese Americans?"

We look forward to the publication this fall of Wil­liam Hosokawa's "Nisei-The Quiet Americans: The Story of a People", a popularly-written documentary that will chrorucle the century of Japanese effort in this land of opportunity.

We trust that Japanese Americans will read the publication and be inspired to help make America what It is for those of Japanese ancestry, for all others in the nation who are less fortunate and who have been disadvantaged, demeaned, and denied, for reasons be­yond their control.

And we hope other Americans will read the book and learn that what happened to the Japanese in this country, both the good and the bad, can also happen to them, and that perhaps the Japanese experience can provide some clues to the solution of some of the vital problems of the day. After all, the problems of the times are so complex and so magnltudinous that there must be more than just a single answer to the ex­igencies of the moment.

Frying Pan

Denver. Colo. A TIME FOR MEMORIES-The warlll sun of the

last few days has accelerated the iris. By Memorial

Day, which is tomorrow as this is being written. they

will be in full bloom in all their magnificent color. The forecast is for continued fair weather. and Ihat will help ease the heaviness that always is a part of visiting the resting places of those who have gone.

In Denver. there will be the usual ceremony at the Nisei War Memorial. erected by public subscrip· tion a few years ago. Its granite tablets stand tall and proud in the midst of the greensward at Fairmount Cemetery. The monument is easily visible from the highway Illat circles the grounds and sometimes when I'm in the neighborhood I take that route just to see it.

Memorial services have a way of becoming per· functory as the years pass, recollections grow dim and other duties assume a greater importance. Fortunately this has not been the case so far in Denver. The fel­lows at the Cathay Post take Memorial Day very seri­ouslv. Solemnly and with dignity. they pay tribute to the memory of comrades in arms who gave their lives for nation and honor, and it is a cleansing sort of experience to take part in the ceremonies even if the role is no more than that of spectator.

• • LIVING MEMORIALS-A few years ago when the

Cathay Post undertook to solicit funds for the. \yar memorial, I was among those who counseled a livmg tribute in addition to a monument of cold stone. The living memorial has taken the form of a scholarship to a deserving high school graduate. The sum is not large, but every bit helps these days. It is deri~ed from the dividends that accrue on surplus funds WhIch were deposited after the monument was paid for. The scholarship will be presented at a community banquet on June 14 at which other organizations such as the Denver Buddhist Church, Simpson United Methodist Church and the Mile-Hi JACL Chapter also present scholarships.

As splendid as those scholarships are, it's reassur­ing to have the stone monuement also. It stands as a tangible, enduring monument to the sacrifice of many fine young men. It serves as a focus for the com­munity's dedication on Memorial Day and is a per­petu~1 reminder that the deaths must not have been mvam.

• • • CONTRAST -I don't know whether any N'LSei Gls

died on Okinawa, but it is certain that island about midway between Japan proper and Taiwan will be much in the news in coming months. A few weeks ago we reported that Mas Ogawa, Tol.-yo editor, pasesed through Denver and sounded out local opinion on the issue of whether the U.S. should return administrative control of Okinawa to Japan. Soon afterward, Counsel­lor Shun-ichi Yamanaka of the Japanese Embassy was aere to speak about Okinawa. Now this week an Ok!­nawan labor leader and an official of the Japan Social­ist party were here, also to urge that Okinawa revert to Japanese control

The gentleman from Okinawa said that a general strike has been schedule for November to underscore Okinawan determination to remove the U.S. presence. Since Tokyo has announced that Prime Minister Sato would be visiting President Nixon to seek the return of Okinawa, we asked the Okinawan gentleman if he was assuming that the Japanese mission was fore­doomed.

He did not make a direct reply, but he indicated that whatever the United States was prepared to do would not be enough to satisfy him. So it would seem that regardless of whatever concessions Sato is able to gain from President Nixon, there is going to be a lot of fussing and speech-making and rock-throwing in Tokyo and Naha and elsewhere. That, along with football games on TV, is something we can look for­ward to come fall.

The Vienna - troin.d neurop.yahio­triS! colled Noguchi "nonnol" and on "unusual" man tn the sense "that leaders are unusual , showing unusunl .mbiUon, de­dication and enthusiasm lor hord work.

An unfl.ppable witness, Dr. Hack~r retused 10 I.nd cre­dence In the cross .. cxamlnn~ lion by Weekes th.t Noguchi mlghl h.ve been "simuloUng sanily" during his tests or might have been able "10 b.at the lests" because 01 hts ex­tensiv. reading and medlc.1 l\·ainlng. Hacker said it w •• diUicult .ven for trained psy­chlatrisu "10 b •• 1 the lests".

Replying to Iso.c'. Qu.stlon about a person's bebavior be~ ing intlu.nced by early cul­tural faelor$, Hacku said "the smile 01 the J.panese, lor in­stance. is oH"n mlsinterpr.t­ed". The Japan.s. p. 0 p Ie smile all the time, in tim. of danger, in time of sorrow as well .s h.ppin .... Hack.r ex­plained

"One observer laid," he added. "they (the J.panese) smile so muah one could curse or hit them."

Questlon.d .bout Dl!xarnyl, Dr. Hocker observed the drug contain~ "uppers and down~ en", stimulants and depres~

sants in the same c.psule and for that reason, addicts did not favor iL

H.cker a1&0 said h. did not tlnd Noguchi's speeah "rambl­ing" but did find that some colloquial expressions were "not immediately appreh.nd­ed" by NoguchL

Dr. Donald A. Stuart, r.­called by Weekes. discussed the drug Dexamyl. (Noguchi had been .ccused oC taking drugs in excessive amounts and a test was ordered to de­termine what kind oC capsules he h.d allegedly taken.)

Though non e of the 40 green-white pills containing different drug. was ever in Noguchi's possession. both Mc­Roy and Mrs. Palm"r selected the same capsule which .p­peared to be the type they saw Noguchi take, Dr. Stuart explained. It was sent to the Sberiffs laboratory for an­alysis and Cound to be a "pep" pill containing Dexamyl.

Isaac vehemenUy obj"eted to this Une of Qu.stloning. The commissioners instroeted Weekes and WWlom Kerr, deputy co u n t y counsel, to bring in the 40 capsules used in the test as well as the sher­iff Jab expert who m.de the analysis.

Isaac also had Dr. Stuart admit the test was conducted after the chargea against Dr. Noguchi were leveled and that the analysis was oblained on May 14-two days after the b.aring. began.

"There Is som.thing terribly wrong here," lsa.c said, point­ing out that the county first identified the drug as Dex.­myl in March and then m.de a test in May.

Stuart said McRoy ordered the test and used capsules fur­nished by Dr. Gupta from his laboratory.

We have been expressing the established fact that if one opens their eyes on the Japanese American community. they will see movement. This movement Is currently generated predominately by those "who have co~ of age". Now "age" here isn't exclusive to a ~enera~lOn nor. to chronology. We visualize col­leg13ns With a social conscience, young adults acting out, a scattering of "elder statesmen". some old and the not·so-old. This new thrust, unbounded by genera­tional or age differences, has joined hands on issues and philosophIes.

But how do you find that thing-that something? An investment on your part to look, to read, to get involved, etc. are the mere ingredients.

Committee for a JU5t Decision In the Mitter for Dr. Thomas T. Noguchi

Many concerned citizens have viewed with increas· ing alarm the callous disregard by certain County of· ficials of basic human rights. It constitutes defamation and a return to the technique of guilt by accusation. Such frightening and unacceptable conduct is ap­parent in the dismissal hearing of Dr. Thomas T. No­guchi from his position as Chief Medical Examiner· Coroner of Los Angeles County.

On March 18. 1969 the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County made public statements that plac· ed false and distorted labels on this dedicated human being. Their statements were based on the recommen· dations of the Chief Administrative Officer of Los An· geles County.

When L. S. Hollinger. the Chief Administrative Officer, testified he admitted he only talked to five employees of the Coroners Office and did not even make notes of his interviews. When asked what they said, he replied. "I do not remember."

The official record of the proceedings of the Board on the day of discharge contains Supervisor Kenneth Hahn's statement that Mr. Hollinger had statements sworn to under oath that would show whether or not the conclusion he reached was valid. Not only did Hollinger not have sworn statements. he had none at all.

Item by item, charge by charge. the defense coun· sel for Dr. Noguchi has negated every charge. It is now clear that Dr. Noguchi was an excellent adminis· trator. dedicated public servant, energetic coroner and extremely popular with all of the 130 employees ex· cept for five who had their own personal axe to grind.

Hollinger said he saw no reason to question the 125 employees who supporting Dr. Noguchi. It is fair to conclude that the County is not interested in the truth. but is interested only in serving the special interests of a few to the detriment of the public at large.

This is not only a fight for Dr. Noguchi. but more importantly. an effort to insure that no human being should be mistreated and wrongly maligned irrespec· tive of his race, creed, color. or national ori~n.

If one man, this talented Japanese Amencan scien· tist. can be mistreated with no factual basis. every individual in this country is in jeopardy. Your son and daughter who may desire to succeed in government or industry are in clear and present danger as a memo ber of the "silent" minority if you do not demand that the rights of one are protected.

It has been said that the Oriental in America has attained success and wealth by hard work and reo maining silent. In this situation. silence is betrayal.

Do not betray your children. support Dr. Noguchi and the principles for which we stand united. .

TO: Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Civil Service Commission 500 W. Temple St.. Los Angeles. Callf. 00012

''Everybody is presumed innocent until proved guilty" has been the mainstay of America's legal and moral structure.

To endanger this presumption by discharging Tho· mas T. Noguchi. M.D .• the chief medical examiner· c0.r~ner of Los Angeles County. without first deter· DUlling whether the charges are true or false, is to endanger the fabric of America's democracy. Nobody then will be free , for democracy will be in chains.

So. we must regard the eIl­vision as real, and concentrate on ways of aUeviatina the problems which we disagree 00.

We must find ways to "tum people on." and it can only come hy thinking and doln, something about the nllena­tlon of Nisei and SanseI.

At a r.c.nl Ineldenl at one Portland high school. there was racial tension. Black stu­dents boycotted classes to dramatize their grievances and gathered on the school's front lawn.

Whites then proceeded to stand across the street. Ten­sion Increased and shouUng and cat-calls resulted.

As they approached each other. the school's principal, who Is respected by both fac­tions, intervened and invited students to alr their griev­ances and listen to each other.

The surprising thing Is that both Black and White students soon found many common points of concern. and that their display of hostility was over points they completely agreed on. As a result of list­ening. a major confrontation with the potential for violence was avoided.

Hahn had to admit he had only the woril of the Chief Administrator HolUnger. "rve known Hollinger for 16 yearst" he said, and he's never lied to me. I accept whatever he says."

Hahn, then, by his own ad­mission, chose Hollinger's judgment of Noguchi over his own. Doesn't he trust his own judgment?

Myths R.peat.d As long as be sticks to the

theme of the overwhelming American force opposing the dedication and fanatic courage of the Japanese defenders. the author tells a gripping story. He goes wrong when he re­peats myths about Okinawa and the Okinawans that post­war American writers have palmed off on the publishing world as truth.

He seems not to know that Okinawa was a prefecture of Japan, a situation analogous to being a state 01 the Amer­ican union. He says America proposed to invade Japan aft­er the capture of Okinawa, not realizing Japan had been invaded when Americans let foot on Okinawan soil.

He says of the Oklnawans who. by 1945. spoke. read. and wrote Japanese as their mo.­ther tongue and were fanatic­ally Joyal to Japan: "They re­sented their new rulers (the Japanese) and refused to as­similate with them In any way, doggedly clinging to ChI­nese customs. cuisine, culture, and traditions."

Such observations are ab­surd. They mar what other­wis.e is an absorbing account of a savage encounter of com­batants who did not realize they were f1ghUn, the last major battle of history', bloodiest war.

Mechanics of Organization and Operation

• • • By RAYMOND S. UNO

National JACL Civil Rlgbta Coordinator

In any organization. there is a demand that some proce­dure be foilowed in order to conduct ita affairs efficienily. Therefore, I would suggest that each J ACL Civil Rights or Human Relations Committee start immediately by using parliamentary procedure in all of its meetings. The use of parliamentary procedure mean. that you will use a system of rules designed to help you conduct a business meeting in an orderly manner.

The purpose of parliamentary procedure Is to protect tbe rigbts of the majority as well as lbe rights of the minority.

Thus. it is suggested that each Civil Rights or Human Relations Committee cbairman secure a copy of the ''Rob­ert's Rules of Order" or some condensed version that will ouUine the basic steps In parliamentary procedure.

Each Civil Rigbts or Human Relations Committee should bave at least a chalnnan and a secretary.

The primary responsibilities of the ebairman are to: (I) deSignate Ule periodic dates of the meeting, (2) begin and close the meeting on time. (3) conduct tbe meeting expedI­tiously, (4) provide for lbe presentation of problems, tbe discussion of problems, and the possible solution of prob­lems, and (5) designate projects or programs wilb definite goals and deadlines.

Any cbairman knows the Importance of a good secre­tary. She should (I) report accurately and rapidly the con­duct at the meeting, (2) have a list of all tbe members. tbeir addresses and telephone numbers, (3) see to it that each committee member and ex-official member receives a copy of the minutes in a timely manner so that assign­ments will be carried out without contusion or delay, and (4) help the ch.innan prepare agendas for the coming meet­ing and carry on necessary correspondence.

As individual committee members, each participant in the committee has a responsibility to (I) prepare !or dis­cussion. (2) cooperate with the leader, (3) think before speaking, (4) consider otbers feelings, (5) speak correctly, (6) challenge ideas he cannot accept, and (7) listen.

The problem solving should be clear and scientilic as possible:

l-Awareness of the problem a. Define the problem. b. Define use of tenns. c. Limit the subject matter of the problem. 2--Analysis of the problem a. Find out about the background. b. What are the causes and eUects? (I) Does the alleged cause also produce oUler eff.cl ~ ?

(2) Does tbe alleged cause actually produce the effect? (3) Do their modes of reasoning support an alleaed

relationship? (4) Can the alleged cause be verified?

c. Goals should be established which may be short, In­tennedlate, or long range.

3-Findlng possible soluUons 4-Evnluation of proposed solutions and choice of be.t

lolullon a. It should meet the needs of the group. b. It shouid lessen or eBminate the cause of the problem. c. It must work. d. Its advantages must out- weigh Its disadvantage • . S-Applying the solution

Relationship Between Analysis and Planning

in the Planning of a CommiH8I Project

Analysis seeks to answer these questions:

I-Why is the project be­Ing undertaken?

2--Wbat Is the nature of the project? What Is to be done?

3-Wbo are to perfonn the activities? W hat relaUon­ships are they to have 10 each other?

4-Wbere Is the project to be carried on?

S-When is the project 10 be initiated and carl1ed on?

6-80w is the project to be carried out? Under what general policies? By wbat methods? How is it to be fi­nanced? How well is the job to be done? What slandards will be observed?

l-ObJecUves of the proj­ect.

2-P r 0 ~ ra m , {unctions, services.

3-Orpnlzatlon, Siructure and Personnel.

4-Terrltol'J' of opera lion.

The Nature of the Committee A committee may be defined as a group of person. lim­

ited In membership by selective appOintment usually ap­pointed by some superior authority and having joint re­sponsibility for inquiry, deliberation, decision, action, spon ­sorship, or related activities in regards to matters assigned to them.

Functions of Committees I-To make decisions on matters of pOlicy, program or

action. 2--To make recommendations regarding policy, program

or action. 3-To give advice to an executive or perhaps to some

policy determining body. 4-To direct or supervise an executive, subMexecutive or

ting claims or interests. l2--To sponsor or endorse organization programs or un­

dertakings. 13-To assist in a ceremonial function .

Some Basic Principles in Respect to CommiHlIs 1-The objectives and functions of lbe committee should

clear. a. Why is the committee needed? b. What Is It trying to do? c. What Is its purpose? d. Is the committee really necessary or desirable?

2--There should be an appropl1ate selection of members. a. Number-there should be adequate commlttee mem­

bers to do the work but not too large to make it unwieldy. b. Tbe members should be reasonably well-equipped

for the work of the committee In tenns of education and experience, knowledge, skill and other quallticationl or should be willing to work for bringing themselves up to lb. necessary level of compttence througb reading, study­ing, observation, taithtul attendance, and service OD the committee itself.

c. The members of the committee should be Interested and willing to serve and should have su.tf\cient time, help, and strength.

d. The committee membership should adequately re­present the constituency or the parent body and also any special groups or Interests that need be represented. 3-Tbe committee should be". competent leadership ea4

adequate executive and clerical service. 4-The,.., sbould be appropriate arrangementa for meeting_

of the comm ittee. a. P reparation for the committee meetings. b. Meetings. c. Follow-up action after meetings.

5.- Tbere should be appropriate procedure at meetings. a. Study and information wbich give the necessary

background for discussion and decision on action which must not end with lbe committee meeting but which re­quire dellnite assignment or responsibilites to individual committee members with specifiC time limits for carrying them out. 6-There should be adequate preparation for and follow-

ing-up otter meelings. a. Deciding when and where the meetings sball be beld. b. Preparing the agenda. c. P reparing and sending out notices of the meeting. d. GaUlerlng and compiling ma terial. e. P reparing material such as draft report, memoranc1a,

and statements. statements ot issues, alternatives, argu .. ments, pro and con, etc.

f. Studying material. ?- The follow-up meetings may involve:

a. Writing up and distributing the minutes. b. Seeing Ulat subcommittee's and members are in­

fonned of assignments. c. The carrying out of assignments by sub-committees

and members. d. Sometime the cbairman, committee aide or secretary

must follow-up to m ake sure that special assignments are being carried out. 6-The committee should have adequate records. 9-The committe. should develop into a cohesive group

with a .ense of soBdarity and group loyalty. IO-When the committee has served its purpose, it should

be discharged or disbanded.

Some Fundamentals Principles of Operation

l-Clvil Rights and Human Relations Committees should be democratic In spiri t, organizat ion and operallon.

2--In general, the support and control of the Civil Rights and Human Relations Committees should be representative of the whole population of the geographic area with which these programs operate.

3-Tbere should be par tiCipation In the direction and operation of Civil Rights or Human Relation. Programs by ail g1'OUpS affected by them.

4-Civil Rights and Human Relations Committees should exemplify and prompt communJly solidari ty and the prac­tice ot democracy, and should seek to overcome devisive influences which threaten the well being of the community and the vitality of democratic insUtutions.

S-The committee should have its roots In lbe com­munIty.

6-Every committee sbould be based upon the under­standing and moral or financial support of a substantIal body of the organization.

7-S0 far as possible, every committee program should enlist acUve and vital citizen partlclpaUon and leadership. "Self belp" by citizens or oUler groups should be encour­aged and fostered.

a-Fundamentally, the role of the committee chairman Is to provide professional skill, asslslance, and creative leadership In enabling citizen groups and organizations to achieve civil rights or human relations objectives.

9-Voluntary cooperation is a key to effective commu­nity organization.

IO-The spirit of cooperation rather lban competition and the practice of coordination of efforts should charac­terize the operation of lbe committee within a geographical area or functlonal field.

II-A successful committee at its best is characterized by coordinated and sustained programs attacking major problems rather than by a series of separate and unrelated efforta.

12-Invoking tbe application of auhol1ty or compulsion will sometime be necessary in implementing programa, but It should be used as little as possible, for as short a time as poaslble, and only as the last resort. When compulsion must be applied it should be followed as soon as pGOIIIible by resumption of the rooperative process.

13-Committee programs should be bued upon and re­sponsive to needs. Such program. should be inltlatecl, de­veloped, modi!ied and terminated on the bam of the needa of the recipients of the service, and on the bues of the availability of other oomparable servi.... When tbe need for • IeI'Vice Is puaed the pracram mauJd be IIIIIIII&d or

terminated. 14-S0 far as possible, committee prograJ!lll ttbould be

the product of careful planning on the b..... of aaeertalnetI facts rather tban an expression of gu... work, huneb. or mere trial and error.

IS-The fullest possible use should be made of exist1nJI elvil I1ghts or human relations resouree. before creating new resourees. It is often necessary to establish a new aervice, a new program or a new committee or organization but the burden of proof Is Upoll such a proposal •

16-A committee project or program should be aucll a size as to be an efficient and economical project, program, or operation. So far as poaslble, the committee should be limited to an area in whlcb It can give effective serviee.

I?- The program, functions and services of the 001II­

mittee should be conceived of as dynamic, flexible, and subject to change not static, crystallized or unchangeable_

16-Any committee program should be constantly viewed by its sponsors as well as others In ligbt of the total situa­tion of the geographical area or functional field.

19-Thl. should be an overall civil rights or human .... lations program for 8 community and not merely a num­ber of unrelated organizations, services, and programs. Sueb • program, should avoid botb "overlapping and overlook­Ing". They sbould seek to achieve effective, efficient and economical composition of civil rights or buman relatlOlll resources, meeting social needs as fully and effectively III

possible and eIlmJnating duplication of program. or servtee.

20-The civil rights or human relations tervl ... of an area sbould be distributed among the wbole populatloo of the area In proportion to their needs. Special care should be taken to see that facilities and service. are made avall­allle to members of minority. racial, nationality or other groups and to nelghborboods and communiti .. witb apeda1 problems in proportion to Ulelr needs.

21-Botb governmental and voluntary civil rights and human relations groups are needed in the field of civil rights and buman relations. Governmental agencies should nonnally provide civil rigbta or buman relations services which are accepted by the public as a whole, those which Involve pennanent or long time care, extellJlve programa or large financial OuUay, and tbose which Involve lbe use or authority or compulsion. Voluntary clvil rights or buman relations groups should provide such services which seek to "bridge the gap between need and statutory provision for need," which are accepted or undentood by onJy limited groups within the community, which serve special sectarian, racial, nationallty, or other .imilar groups whIch are ex­perimental or demonstr&Uonal In nature or which Involve a substantial measure of social action or character educa­tion.

22--In general, there should be voluntary citizellJ organi­zations parallellng major publJe civil rights or htlllWl re­lations services and concerned wltb lbe development and maintenance of .ound civil rights and human relatlonl pr0-

grams and slandards. 22--The organization and admlnistration of civil rflbta

and buman relallons servic.. should be Idmple II prac­ticable.

24-rt tbe civil rights or human reiatiOlUl service em be equally well administered by the agelley on a lower' or higher geograpbical leve!. local adminIstration or admlnl­.tratlon on the lower level II to be preferred because It Is closer to the people wbo will reeelve tbe aervice. In tiM ease of moat locally admlnlatered civil I1ghta or buman relations services the,.., abould be .tatewide leatIenhIp and IUpervision unIted with local admlnlItratiOlL

La. Angeles One of tho youth commls-

1I0ners had raked an objec­tion to the us. of the word f'dRmnlt in the National Youth Project titl. "E-GAD" (E"eQ'­bod.l'-Gh·, A Damn). Il w.s felt that a slMi, profane term could not "bring dignil..v" or "sophistication" to the or ..

"Why E-GAD"

,anhation. While these feel­Ings are with merit, and no doubt echo those ot many others, the tinal opinion must rl'St in the hands of those to whom the proj .. t was dIrect­ed: the juniors.

It has been my ",xpetience that juniors in general do not object to the title. This tact h as been evidence in thelr use of the phrase "give a damn" In their articles.

L..vnn Watanabe and Rich Okabe, MDYC oflicer and cl!airman, applied the phrase In their PC article concerning district activities.

Stan Kiyokawa. PNWDYC cl!airman and NYC represen­tative used the phrase in his article printed in his district's newsletter, ''Pacific Star." Don Hayashi, past youth intern and Portland Jr. president, h as written that his church youth group ,..,acted fa"orably to the "give a damn" phrase " 'hen used in his speech.

"It was the attorney gen­eral, not the governor," saYI MJss Stevenson, "who had to handle the politically sensitive task ot the peaceful relurn of the Japanese to California."

One of the strange things abou~ the entire episode, Ken­ny recalled, was that Hthere wasn't much anti ... Japanese sentiment In California at the Ume of Pearl Harbor. Nor even afterwards. It had to be whipped up. It took a number of weeks to do It."

When the questiou was posed to representatives from NC- WNDYC, they also re­I))ODded positively. John Sugi­yama, DYC chairman, called It a clear title. There seems to be a direct relationship be­tween the phrase and its abili ­ty to communicate a "gut l evel" feeling.

There seems to be a dis­tinction between the objectoTil and the non-objectors. One lide is only concerned about one particular word in the Er GAD title. The other side con­liden the phrase as a whole and its Idea. Alone, the word "damn" has little meaning other than its common slang connotation.. However, when the word is presented in a phrase, It then must be view­ed as one entity that conveya • single message.

This message Is an unadorn­ed appeal without pretense, false dfgnity or sophistication . It does not ask for superficial concern or patron1zation. Sometimes, a project may be so elaborately and intricately planned that It loses sight of Its objective. As a result, its Impact becomes diluted in the p rocess. Project E-GAD tries to avoid this hazard in its title. It's very simply and di­r ectly challenges youth to &how concern for their fellow man in a very simple and di­rect manner. that perhaps on­ly youth can understand.

Sock KoJlma-a Mosl

Unforgettable Man With Memorial 0.1 JUlt

post, Our thoURItI. drifted Into 1\ .~n ot rcmlnhu~rncr. nnd reverently honored thOle- who have gont b~ror(' UJ. A. 1 Reon the yestery.a .. and lhlnk of the lhou!nnoa of bowlen J'"t f'ncountered thore js one mnn J surely will never lori.t. Hla nRm ~ock KoJlmo .

1 flnl met Sock ot the JACL NAUonal Tournament In Solt Lnke City. H. was just on­other bowler to me nnd , like motll t people yOU meet, he •• emed to b. 1\ prelly nice lIu)'. This Inillol encoun ter wns nothIng more than n sim­ple Inlroductlon and nn ex­chang~ or 0 fow worda. Then.' was nothing exceptlollal ab.out our brief conversation nnd we went our separate ways,

Th. (ollowln, year 1 UW him at thc loumoment In Sal\­ta Fe Springs, Calif. and, (or lome alranlr:e renson, ] recog· nlzed him alone. but couldn't remember bls name, We \vcrt" r.-Introduced by m u t u a I friend and os soon ns his name WRS mentlon.d, 1 recalled he WAI from my own homelo\Vtl. ChlcaRo. I Inquired about him \rov.lIng so many miles 10 bowl In th. tOllrnamenl and It was th.n that I discovered thot b. was a prominent memo ber 01 the JACL Advisory Board on Bowling.

W h • n lhls conversallon Clame to a close, he wlahed me the b.st o( luck during the tournament week. r can't re­m.mber his exact words, bul I do remember his slnc.rlty 8nd that "honest to Roodness" amlle 8S we porled. I thougbt about him later that ev.nlng and I a8SUred mysett thot I would never forllet his nome ualn. J kept thtnklng, "Sock Kojima, Chicago. Ill. - Sock K oJIma, Chicago. m. - Sock K Ojima, Chicago, Dl."

A Speol.l Point

Th. bowling banquet at the Disn eyland HoI e I cllmax.d this 17th annual JACL Bowl­Ing Classic and before the evenIng was over, I made a special pOint to conv.y my best wt.hes to Sock and to olfer my hopes for a pl .... nl r.turn trip. H. reclprocat.d by congratulating me on my bowling and by wishing me the best o( luck during the followlna y.ar. Again I ex­p.rlenced a tremendotn f.el­Inll ot slneerlty and honesty I don't know II It was the ton. of bls volc. or the ex­pre .. lol) on b1s face, bul I s.nsed thaI he r.ally meant wbat be had said.

I truly looked forward to ... Ing him again the Daxt year In Sacramento, but to my surprise, I saw him al RolI­day Bowl later that .am. y.ar. We shook bonds as II we had been clos.sl o( friends for years and he proceeded to ten m. about his chang. of relldence to Los Ang.l.s. I In­quired If he had found work and he casually answered that h. would be '1ooklng around but plans to take It easy for a lItU. whU.". H. seemed as happy and as content al .ver with that boyish smile as g.n· uIn. aa a 24-hour day.

W. eontinu.d to run across e.cb other at various bowling .vent. and to be trothlul, I was becoming somewhat (:on­~ed about the fact that he bad not found regular em­ploymenl He just mentioned that b. was ,tJll "taking It easy" and would probably start looklng at the beginning of the year.

Well, 1964 tlnally came and during the latter part of J an­uary, I was to leave tor the east coast to represent L.A. In the National All-Star EllmI-

nation •. About a week before my doparture, I bumped Into Sock at Holiday Bowl Rnd h. , Inl/led me oul to talk to me.

Dlnoer 00 !look

I went over to wh.r. he was Itandln, and, II alwaYI, the Orst thing I noticed wal hi. wurn smite. He then handed me a $10 bill and .ald. "Gnry. 1 wont you to buy yo urs~1! the bell . teak dinner whon .'·ou get to Phlladel· phlo" 1 cou ldn't help from thlnklng of his unemployment nncl, consequrnUy. 1 refused to accepl hll generoul QITer. He In.lsled, however, by teU­Ing me how much he wanled nle to ho". a good lime nnd 0

. ucee •• rul lournnmenl. He told me thol lhls .I.ak dinner would 1~I'Ve nl an assurance to him that 1 was enjoying my trip. FlnoJly, I accepted.

On my HlRht to PhlUy. I lhouAht "bout Sock and wbat o wonder!ul girt he hod glv.n me. I beAan thlnkln" about what I cou ld do to relurn this moot Mendly geslure. Two weeks lnter after my return, Ire-assured Sock that hl l tok.n wa. wetl Ipent and I In­vited him to dlnn.r ot the on­coming JACL Tournam.nt In S8cramrnto,

Durlnjl thll 181h annual Morch Cla .. lc, I was unoble to repay Sock due to Ihe (ROt th.t he was lomewhat im­mobilized because 01 Illn.ss. He .tay.d In his motel room during the majority of the wl't'k, leAving only to attend the board meetlnlls and to oc­co.IOII.lly ",8tch the compe­tition.

I truly lelt sorry tor Sock belnA semi-confined during the r.stlve '.Ven days, and I exprf"sed my regret when T dId .e. hIm. He would Just smile and o.sure me that It was Indigestion t hat was k •• plnl{ him und.r the weath­er. Mter the tournamenl, T remorse(ully found out otber­wise.

An m \\lan

The troth ot th. malter was tha t Sock KOjima was a dying man. He learned of hll In­curabl. Itomach dls.ase dur­Ing the latter part 01 th. pre­vious year and he had moved to Sou the r n CalHomla to spend his last days. As he awaited the inevitable, h. made no mention of his W­h.alth and h. disguised bls woe and tribulation with a cheerful and heartwarming srnJle. He passed away shortly ther.aller.

A U.r th.se lact. were re­vealed to me, It s.rved to magnlty my a1r.ady Intens. fe e II n g toward. Sock. I tboUj!hl back about bls s.incere nalure and warm frIendliness. I tlioUl!hl, too. about his gUt when I went to the All-Star Tournament. All these things, I'll never forget.

Among my perlonal records, I have an addre .. fil. on all my !rlend .. In this ru. of 3x5 cards Is on. devoted to this wonderlul man. I','e had It there since our second meet­Ing In Santa Fe Springs, and I'v. kept It there after his passing. It I Imp I y readl, "Sock KOjima, Chicago, Illi­nois",

Dr. Takahashi returned in the ,ummer oC 1963 and found a spoon. a trunk and pieces o( stained glass believed to ha,·" bel 0 n g e d to the caplain's cabin.

B~' this time. he was de­tcnnined to inlorm the Amer­Icans about the whole SlOz;.·

and ha,'e thc lsI and and the YikinJ: remembered He tirst told the tale to Robert Ken­nedy. then U.s. Attom.y and \isit:ing Japan, wbo expressed his readiness to cooperate and support the project as a good occasion to prai!'e Ameriean­J apane~e friendsh1p.

With the encouragement 01 the American Embassy and the help of the Attorn.y Gen­eral Kenn.dy. Dr. Takahashi spent four more years and pieced together the ouOines of an episode that seemed to have a larger meaning.

Japan in 1863 h.d onl)' re­cently forsaken :t policy of hostility to fOl'eifllt-l"::- Much of the counlry was still for­bidden territory. But despite the official attitude, the island people of .Mikurajima met the shipwrecked Viking seamen with friendship and good will.

All Rescued

The islanders rescued and brought safely ash 0 r e ~3

Americans. including CapL Benjamin Townsend. his wue. Crew and 460 Chinese miners bound for the California gold iields.

Th. Americans returned h ome after receiving medical car. and the limited hospital­Ity that a poor community 01 ~50 persons could olfer. The ueatment \vas considered ex ­ceptional because of Japan's Isolationist policy at lhe time.

Dr. Takahashi's research t rail led to New Bedford, " 'hose residents were both surprised and JU"eaUy pleased to hear the story, which had become a legend on Mikura­jima.

Old R.cords Found

The original grounding of the vessel was described mat­ter-oI-CacOy enough by on. 01 the mates aboard.

"We slid on without much fuss. only a sort of grinding on the bottom." That was how B enjamIn Cartwright. the mate, described lhe wreck on the night of J un. ~.

Cartwright and his compan ­Ions could have been killed by the islanders because foreign ­ers were still forbidden to land in most of J apan. even though Commodore Perry had opened a lew ports to trade in h is historic voyage 10 years ea_r lier,
