in Tuesday'! California primary
election indicated today he won
the Republican nomination by
about 7 to 1 over the other three
contestants and received a ma
jority for the Democratic and
Progressive nominations as well
Totals from 13,053 of the
13,340 precincts on the Republi
can vote were:

Governor Ellis . Patterson
31.901; John Anson Ford 43.379:
and Assemblyman Sam W. Vor
ty 32,031.
In 13039 precincts, Johnson
rolled up 483,328 ballots to win
also the Democratic senatorial
nomination. This was an actual
majority over the combined to
tals of the five other Democratic
candidates. Their vote was: Pat

of California, which did not take
sides officially in the senatorial
contest, issued a press statement
interpreting Johnson's "most im
pressive" victory as "over
whelming proof that California
voters consider rejection of the
conscription bill and abstention
from foreign adventures vital to
the preservation of their wel
fare" The statement asserted thou
sands of citizens who normally
might have voted otherwise
swung their vote to Johnson for
his "courageous stand against
conscription."

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.
