Haulbetsch, president of the Portland Council of Churches, since he signed 1 a council resolution- calling for constitutional treatment of Japanese-Americans, he disclosed to day. The council resolution urged that there be no motive to de prive Japanese Americans of rights, guaranteed them under the constitution. .... This stand is opposite to that of the Hood River American Le gion post, which has announced its opposition to return qf Jap-anse-Americans from .inland re location centers. The post re moved the names of 16 Japanese- American soldiers from the county honor roll. - Dr. Mulbetsch said his first anonymous caller, . who appar ently , thought the Portland Council of Churches was some sort of Nazi organization, told the church leader he represent ed an organization "which knows how to handle snakes" and which is determined that Japanese-Americans shall not return to their Pacific coast homes and property. ! ' Dr. Maulbetsch, pointing out that the Council of Churches was not "bringing the Japanese back," observed: ."But they are coming back. That is the army plan and that is the supreme court plan. If they're coming back, then let us not try to work against them by methods outside the constitution." - . ; The Hood . River Legion post indicated it would make public a statement of its position in re moving the names of the 16 Japanese-Americans from the honor roll. only ornery Ward Coupons ARE i SO USEFUL...
