HOOD RIVER JAPS GET SUPPORT OF Hood River. Ore., Jan. 9 (U.R) Even as the first Japanese- American expected to return near Hood River, opposition to the stand of the American Le gion Post today became more widespread, with the Hood Riv er County Ministerial associa tion taking the lead with a res olution disapproving race prej udice. Incorporated In the resolution was suggestion that an offi cial county honor roll replace the Legion's honor roll at the county court house. The new one would contain the names of 16 Japanese-American soldiers which were deleted by the Le gion several weeks ago from its own roll of honor. Considered Unjust 'We are agreed that if any serviceman is willing to suffer and die for the principles of the United States, he is worthy of having his name on any service honor roll and to have unhin dered freedom to live among us," the ministers resolution said. "We consider it unjust, un- American and un-Christian to deprive them of their privileges and rights. It can only make more difficult the solution of racial problems and bring trou ble and shame upon Hood River valley," it continued. Ray Sato, the first Nisei who proclaimed his intention to re turn to Hood River valley, will arrive soon, it was declared. His baggage and other belong ings have already arrived. He will operate his orchard near Parkdale, in Hood River Valley, which had been leased to John P.
