Letters  TO  THE EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:
   We deeply regret Supreme
Court decision upholding
constitutionality of evac-
uation policy.   We want
you to know of our continu-
ing friendship and of our
resolve to keep on working
in every way possible for
a restoration of that his-
toric America which holds
all citizens equal under
law.

ONCILIATION
AMY SMITH, CHAIRMAN
TO THE EDITOR:
   As chairman of the So-
cial Education and Action
committee of the Westminster
foundation, located on the
Ohio State university cam-
pus, I would like to make
it possible for interested
students of our group to
do  something definite a-
bout the  Japanese-American
situation.
   We have had speakers
on S u nday evening.   We
have also invited various
girls working in Columbus
to our informal teas.   We
hope that they will become
interested in participat-
ing in our program. The
War Relocation authority
in Columbus suggested that
we might obtain names from
you of three or four col-
lege men and women living
in the camp who would like
to correspond with young
people here.    We hope that
you will be able to give
us that  information.

   TOWN  HALL
         TALK
   The problem of the zoot-
suited nisei in various
population centers where
other resettlers are try-
ing to create a favorable
i m pression has come up
much too often.
   All the worthwhile ef-
forts of the industrious
resettlers can be wiped
out by one foolish action
on the part of the unthank-
ing youngsters.
   This is not a problem
for the resettlers alone.
It is a matter of concern
to every evacuee, and here
in the relocation center
is the place to work toward
a remedy.   Attitudes must
be readjusted.
*   *  *  *
   Zoot-suiters must be
impressed with the unfavor-
able reaction their cos-
tumes invoke--e specially
since the riots between
servicemen and other racial
minority zoot-suiters have
occurred.
*  *  *  *
   Delinquents and pre-de-
linquents in this center
are, according to Jimmy
Yamanaka, a matter that
should be of greater con-
cern to more of the resi-
dents .
   A small volunteer group
is keeping the youngsters
who have not yet gotten
into trouble occupied,but
there is greater need for
this program.
   Stated Yamanaka, there
is no machinery set up for
the actual delinquents,the
boys who have run afoul of
the law.   Someone besides
the police should interest
themselves in this prob-
lem.
   Although the YWCA under
Alice Suzuki, who recently
left for Buffalo, made
considerable progress, the
YMCA has never really made
headway.
*  *  *  *
   When Jack Carberry of
the Denver Post wrote that
he heard no English spoken
in the center,  that was
stretching the truth.   But
the nisei do have a bad
habit of using the vernac-
ular before the Caucasians,
which if nothing else is
impolite.    When the press-
men visit Amache tomorrow
and F r iday let’s watch
ourselves.
