JAPANESE PLEAD WTO SERVE WITH U.S. FORCES Portland, Ore., Aug. 30. VP) Regulations making it difficult for American citizens of Japan ese ancestry to enter the army and navy were protested today by Saburo Kido, San Francisco attorney. "We want to fulfill our duties and responsibilities as American citizens by participating in the defense of our country, but we are not always permitted to," Kido said at the sixth national convention of the Japanese American Citizens' league here. "Japanese applicants for ser vice in the naval reserve have been turned down in California and a rule requiring a height of 3 feet, 4 inches keeps many Jap anese from entering the army. Kido said the league often was caught in cross-fire between white citizens and first-generation Japanese ineligible for citi zenship. "We have been criticized by some persons for attempting to protect what we think are the rights of Japanese fishermen operating from the California coast," he added. "We don't like to see any law-abiding group dis criminated against and, in addi tion, these people are our par ents and our own welfare is af fected If their livelihood is inter fered with. "On the other hand, these same first-generation Japanese criticize us because we don't try to present a case of Japan's activities in the 'Orient. Our answer is that we are Americans and to defend Japan is not our Job." Two resolutions, affirming league support of national de fense measures, including con scription, and protesting racial discrimination as disruptive to national unity, were proposed to day.

The "Spanish prisoners" game, a lucrative source of in come for confidence men for some 400 years, came within the ken of the federal grand Juryi here today and Indictments were ' returned against five Mexicans.! none of whom is In custody. Assistant U. S. Attorney Val entine Hammack said those in dicted had bilked hundreds of persons in the United States of thousands of dollars. They aver aged, he said, one victim a week, and each one was worth, poten tially, around 54.000 to the gang. Those indicted were Camilio Lopez Vazquez, alias Mr. Ran gel; Jose Barron Meza. alias Jose Rios and Julio Tello; Jose Gongalez V a s q u e z: Manuel Gomez de Rosos. The indict ments charged mail fraud. Herberto Conrado Melli, chief of the Mexican bureau of in vestigation, department of inter ior, said at least 20 persons were members of what he referred to as "The Argentine Gang." The three victims listed In the Indictment were the Rev. Edgar Allan Lowther. co-pastor of the Congregational - Methodist tem ple here; Victor Ell Borden of Moclips, Wash., and Robert L. Wood of Jackson, Miss. I Victims received letters which I were represented to have come from a Vera Cruz banker on the verge of arrest for fradulent bankruptcy. This 'banker' wrote that he had converted into cash everything he rould lay his hand on some $283,000 in American currency and had placed it In a secret comprl ment of a trunk which he had shipped to the U. S. c.istoms house at Tampico. He a. id his 18-year-old daughter started to North America, he wrote, with a suitcase in which, in another secret compartment, were claim checks for the trunk and a check for S13.000 made out to bearer. But. the letter advised poten tial victims, the banker and daughter were seized by Mexi can police, and he was sentenced to three years in prison and sentenced to a fine of some 22, 000 pesos. Further. If the fine was not paid in 33 days, the suitcase would be sold by the police, and the claim checks in the secret compartment would be lost for ever. If the "friend" to whom the "etter was addressed, would come to Mexico City and claim the suitcase by paying the fine and cost about $3,630, Ameri can money he would be re warded by receiving a third of the $13,000 check and a third of the $283,000. The indictment said the Rev. Mr. Lowther went to Mexico City and on April 6 talked with four men in a restaurant there. Borden went to Mexico City, talked with Vazquez, and was robbed of $3,760, the indictment stated, after Vazquez threatened him with a gun and cut his hand with a razor. L f? (MADAM.
