Incidentally
    By Sueo Sako
   A 17-year-old girl, Bessie
Yasumatsu, became a "head -
ache" last Thursday for the
police and Federal author-
ities in San Francisco be-
cause she had too many-
"halves."
   Bessie caused a big hub-
bub among the officials over
her status--half-white,
half-Japanese, and living
at the home of her half-
sister,a Caucasian married
to a  Chinese.
   It was discovered that
Bessie's mother, a Cauca-
sian, first married a white
man, then a Korean, and
finally a Japanese who died
ten years ago.   Still more
complications "cropped up”
when the police were in-
formed that Bessie had one
brother and a half-brother
in the US Arm.   Adding to
the muddle was the news
that she came to San Fran-
cisco from Utah in June
of 1942 to care for her
blind and crippled mother
and her half-sister, Mrs.
Inez Foo, who is likewise
ill.
   Finally, Bessie was re-
leased on an order from
Thomas C. Lynch, Assistant
US Attorney, until further
investigation and study
were made. But according
to US Attorney Frank J.
Hennessy the girl could
not be detained unless the
Attornev General issued an
order.
……………………………………………………………..
    I've heard of fellows
say, "I'm the boss," but
the    following     statement
in the little incident is
unprecedented.
   Satochi Kira, 22, for-
merly of Los Angeles , was
shot on Dec. 1 at Gila re-
location center, Rivers,
Ariz., but not seriously
wounded when he attempted
to pass a sentry post heed-
less of a military police
officer's   order   to  halt.
   Shouting, "I don't have
to, I'm the president,"
Kira continued to walk.
Then the sentry fired two
warning shots, but finally
after Kira's refusal to
halt, a third bullet fired
struck  his   body.
