PRO-JAP-EFFORT
Portland, Ore.. Dec. 5 flJ.R)
Anonymous phone calls, some of
them threatening bodily vio
lence, have been received by
Dr. H. J. 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.
