Heglster-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Page 2 Tues., Apr. 1, 1952 Nisei Veteran Offered Post By Tax Office State Commission Reverses Decision ' SALEM (P) An American-born Japanese, deprived of an Oregon civil service job with the state recently because of his race, has been offered a job as Junior accountant with the state tax commission. And he will take It, if the job is located in Portland. He is Sagie Nlshloka, 31, who was the subject of a meeting of the state board of control here Monday. Gov. Douglas McKay, a board member, said it was "stupid and a damned outrage" that the tax commission passed over Nishioka after he had taken a civil service (est and placed highest on the list, AFTER THE government's out burst, the tax commission re. versed itself and found that it had an opening for Nishioka after all. ! Ray Smith, state tax commis sioner, said Nishioka was turned down by Jason Lee, the commis sion's personnel dlrctor. But Lee said "I bitterly resent the state ment that I refused to hire Nishioka." However, W. E. Klmsey, lajjor commissioner and administrator of Oregon's fair employment prac. tices law, said earlier that Smith Had told him that he didn't hire Nishioka because the public would not approve the hiring of a Japan, ese. i NISHIOKA, a veteran of World War II who was wounded while fighting in Italy, at first said he would not contest the tax com mission's failure to hir him. Later, though, he changed his mind and said he would file a complaint with the labor commissioner. Monday's action made that un necessary. ' Statehouse reporters said the governor and tax commission re ceived a large number of letters protesting the refusal to give the job to Nishioka. c Nishioka, a college graduate who formerly lived In Hood River and Portland, now Is employed In Seattle at Fort Lawton.

HAAKINSON Aeioclaied Preee 81X1 Writer WASHINGTON (IP) Friends of Vice President Alben Barkley needed only an expected nod from him Tuesday to push him into the scramble for the Democratic pres, idential nomination, Thel looked for him to be in the race within a few days. "NOW THAT President Truman has stepped aside, Mr. Barkley is the only man who can unite the various wings of the Democratic party this fall," Sen. Gillette (D-Ia) told a reporter. "He's the best vote-getter in the Ice Jam Starts Montana Flood HAVRE, Mont. (U.R) A flash flood caused by an ice jam in the Milk- River sent an esti mated 1500 northside residents fleeing from their homes in sub freezing weather Tuesday. Havre's two hospitals reported no loss of life. Water backed up by an ice gorge IS miles east of here spilled into lowland farms and brimmed over banks within this city of 8086 persons. The north section of the city was completely Inun dated, and a water-logged earthen dike between the residential dis. met and downtown Havre was crumbling and "threatening to give way," city officials reported "Water is still rising and evacu ation continues," Mayor Oval Hatler reported at 8 a.m. (MST). The entire population of the northside residential district has been evacuated. The dike is be ing reinforced by 100 flood wort ers, but may give way any mO' ment." Planes prepared to take off to dynamite the huge ice floe to re lieve upstream areas. Hatler said "I've been informed its impossible to dynamite the jam from the ground. "Several" farms between Loh- man and Havre were under water. The city of Havre itself was cut off from the north, east and west. A mile of U.S. Highway No. 2 between Havre and Shelby to the west was under three feet of water. The Great Northern railroad's tracks just south of the soggy Milk River dike in Havre separ ates flooded areas from the down town district.

Two veteran Democratic sena tors, Hoey of North Carolina and George of Georgia, predicted in separate interviews the 74-year-old Barkeley will be in the presi dential derby before the week ends. And Sen. Underwood from Barkley's home state of Ken tucky said Barkley would "carry all the doubtful states" and assure continued Democratic control of the House and Senate. Hoey said he has no inside in formation but is confident that Barkley will "announce his can didacy this week, GEORGE, who is backing his ueorgia colleague, sen. Russell, for the nomination, said Barkley must seek the presidential nomi, nation even if he is only shooting for anotner term as vice president All congressmen and partv leaders apparently have accepted at face value Truman's dramatic week-end announcement that he will not run for reelection. Most of them also appeared confident that Truman would not attempt to name his successor, leaving that to the Democratic national convention in July. The Most sm Important Quesfibig V rut to Jesus,; There Is deep meaning for us all in Jesus' answer to John's searching question (Luke 7), "Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?" He gave his uiirkl ai proof of the truth of his wotds: "Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers ate cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gos pel is pteached" (Luke 7). In the same way Christian Science is presenting to the modern world unmistak able proof, through many authenticated cases of heal ing, that it is the demon ilrabli truth taught by Jesus. It shows that spiritual understanding is natural to man. It helps him. It heals him, as Jesus proved and promised. Study of the Christian Science textbook HEALTH witli Key U the ScribtiMs b$Mty Biilcr EtJcty j discloses to anyone the present-day practical value of the Master's teaching.
