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. Cooper. ,
