Nippon Problem
Acute in State
Gresham, Ore., Feb. 10 (IP) The
Japanese problem In the north
west is far from being solved and
the solution lies with Gov. Earl
Snell and the Oregon state leeis-
lature, Walter M. Pierce, former
governor and ex-congressional
representative, told over 1,000 per
I sons last night at a meeting here.
Pierce accused Gov. Snell of
evading the issue and cited Gov.
Mon C. Wallgren's . outspoken
statement on the Japanese proo-
lem recently Deiore the washing'
ton state legislature.
He called attention to the fact
that the alien land law of 1923
has not been enforced and sue-
gested that the press and public
omciais were guuty 01 coddling
the Japanese even those who are
still alien.
' Memorial Asked
The former governor Dolntedlv
told his sympathetic audience that
it was up to uov. snell to ask the
state legislature to set up an in
vestigation committee for a probe
of the Japanese problem in Ore
gon. He also suggested and the
group followed through with a
resolution that the legislature
pass and send a memorial to the
congress asking for the deporta
tion of all alien Japanese as a
term in the peace treaty with
Japan.
The meeting was called by
members of the Oregon Property
Owners' Protective league, which
formerly was called the Oregon
anti-Japanese.
'.There is no value in making
sacrifices io protect a few thou
sand Japanese, who are alien in
thought and birth," Pierce said.
"Americans believe that : what
happened once can happen again
, and therefore will be suspicious
and hostile. This will bring about
' a bad situation wherever the Jap
' anese relocate.
Press Blamed '."
"Coddling by the press and by
some groups makes tne aliens ar
rogant. We cannot be at peace
with these aliens as long as they
dwell among us." ,
. Speaking on behalf of the
American Legion post at Hood
Itiver, whose several representa
tives, including G. R. Frey, whose
points brought applause. J. a. t,d
dington, post commander; Kent
Shoemaker and Tom Scott also
spoke. Frey defended the Le
gion's, stand concerning Japanese
on the post's honor roll. '
At the close of the meeting, the
group had adopted two resolu
tions, the first, asking for enforce
ment of the alien land law, and
the second, requesting a memo

Farmer. Draft
Draws Criticism
Of State Solons
By Eric W.Allen, Jr.
' (United Pnu SUM Cormponilent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 10 IP The
Oregon legislature was looking
forward to a quiet day today, last
of the fifth week of the 43rd ses
sion, after the house yesterday
brought back to life a memorial
that takes a slap at the selective
service system.
The memorial (HJM6) Is a pro
test against "any selective service
directives which might supersede
the Tydings amendment to the se
lective service act ..." .
(The Tydings amendment pro
tects farm workers who are es
sential to food production from
being drafted. A recent selective
service directive ordered Induc
tion of farm workers.)
The measure was defeated on
Monday, but yesterday Rep. Ralph
Moore moved to reconsider the
killing vote because of "subse
quent events" and because several
house members were absent at
the time of the close vote.
Motion Passed
Moore's motion passed, 35 to 21,
with three absent, after debate
during which Rep. Henry Semon,
Klamath Falls, said that "It's a
question of whether the govern
ment wants food or men."
Rep. W. T. Johnson, a member
of the state appeal board, de
fended the selective service sys
tem and said that the appeal pro
visions of the regulations were
protection for essential farm
workers.
News of the action of Colorado's
governor In ordering Colorado
selective service officers "to ob
serve the Tydings act had not been
received here prior to the debate.
Rep. HI H. Chindgren, Clacka
mas, co-sponsor with J. O. John
son, Washington, of the measure,
did not concur with a suggestion
made by Rep. Alex Barry that lan
guage in the memorial referring
to selective service directive be de
leted. He said he considered the
reference essential to the meaning
of the memorial, which also calls
for an investigation of the farm
labor situation in the state.
Memorial Passed
The memorial complains that
Oregon is "facing a critical short
age of efficient farm labor which
will drastically affect the vital
contribution of Oregon to the food
production industry . . ."
The measure was re-referred to
the agriculture committee for
further study. It had .previously
received a "no pass recommenda
tion from the group. '
Yesterday the senate gave a
new lease-on life to the present
wartime measure allowing larger
trucks on the states highways.
when it voted a two-year exten
sion to the law. It also voted down
a proposed four-year extension.
Arguments In favor of the long
er term included citation of high
way commission statements that
the trucks had not harmed the
highways, and that satisfactory
war-time experience justified a
longer term.
and Mrs. L. C. Kramer and girls
attended the Presbyterian dinner
Wednesday night.
Mrs. Frank Bockman entertain
ed several Church of Christ ladies
and their friends at a sewing club
Tuesday. Present were: Mrs. W.

Luncheon was served.

To Receive Study
In Washington
Washington, Feb. 10 (IP) The
officer who assigned the "A"
priority for Blaxe's transcontl

This was disclosed today In an

Washington, Feb. 10 iii That

No, not Fala. Blaze.
Sen. Styles Bridges, R., N. H is
firmly convinced that a fulldress
senate investigation into the
whole question of travel priorities
Is definitely In order today.
What's more, he thinks it may
be ordered.
Bridges' conviction stems from
a hearing held yesterday by a
senate military affairs subcom
mittee appointed to inquire into
such priority questions as how
Blaze, Col. Elliott Roosevelt's bull
mastiff, got an A" priority that
let him ride In a plane while three
service-men had to get off.

The subcommittee heard from
MaJ. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, war
department legislative and liaison
otneer, Maj. Gen. Harold L.
George, top priorities man for the
war department, and Col. James
h. Douglas of the air transport
command.

agreement that reporters would
be told about what took place :
sometime today.
Bridges, however, said that he
was satisfied that what had been
told at yesterday's session was
enough to warrant asking the'
senate for a more exhaustive in
quiry. "I think It entirely possible that
we shall ask the senate for a full :
committee and a appropriation to '
make a full-dress investigation of '
this whole matter of priorities,"
he said. . "I feel it needs investi
gating." Name Presented .
The subcommittee's meeting, -its
first since its creation, came
only three days before Col. Roose- :,
velt's nomination to be a tempor
ary brigadier general comes up
for senate approval.
The full military affairs com-
mittee okayed young Roosevelt's
name along with those of 77
other officers up for promotion
last week but the senate agreed
to postpone final consideration un- .
til next monday after republicans
sought in vain to have Roosevelt's 1
name taken from the list for
separate consideration.
Stewart revealed that his sub
committee during Its investigation .
had contacted "persons overseas.
: presumably including young
I Roosevelt who is in London,
i Stewart said nothing in yester
day's testimony indicated Col.
Koosevplt personally had asked
for anything in the way of priori
ties. The White House has termed
Blaze's "A" priority a mistake,"
but names of officials responsible
for granting it have never been
' revealed.
