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.

Barkley Expected
To Enter Scramble
By EDWIN B. 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.

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

to the party and to himself to
make a formal announcement im
mediately," Gillette added.
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

Barkley will "announce his can

GEORGE, who is backing his

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
