JAPANESE FAMILY Gen. Stilwell Presents DSC To Sister of Sgt. Masuda, Once Terrorized Talbert, Cal., Dec. 8 (U.R) A Japanese - American family stood on the front porch of their modest ranch home today to re ceive from Gen. Joseph W. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell the na tion's tribute to the Nisei who fought and died for this country in the last war. Stilwell. who flew 3,000 miles from Washington for the cere I mony, pinned onto the black dress of Mary Masuda the dis tinguished service cross awarded posthumously to her Japanese American brother, Staff Sgt. Kazuo Masuda, killed in action in Italy. "The distinguished service cross is only a little thing, but in making this presentation, we want to convey to you and your family, the deep respect and ad miration of every decent Ameri can," Stilwell said in a serious voice. Standing on the front porch during the ceremony were Mary's father, Gensuke Masuda, 67, her mother, Tamac, 62, and two brothers, Masao, 28, still in the army and stationed at Ft. Snelling, Minn., and Mutsuo, 29, recently discharged from the army. Another son, Takashl, in the army, and a daughter, in Chicago, were unable to attend. Tears in her eyes as Miss Masuda, nervously reading from notes hidden in her handker chief, thanked General Stilwell for making the transcontinental trip to honor her mother. I As the presentation ended, Miss Masuda unpinned the cross from her dress, and pinned it on her mother, whose face was pas sive during the ceremony. The 200 persons, many of them officials of nearby Santa Ana, crowded in front of the wooden farm house. Their pres ence contrasted to the visit made by a group of men who last May attempted to terrorize Miss Masuda when she returned from a relocation center. The war re location authority listed her case as an "incident of planned ter rorism" against Japanese-Americans in California. Among the spectators at the presentation was Cpl. Clarence Craft, of Santa Ana, recently awarded the congressional medal of honor for heroic action against the Japanese. CALENDAR Monday 1:00 p. m. Past Chief's club.

Phone 2297 CRATER LAKE MOTORS 1946 VOTE PLAN AT CHICAGO MEET Full Cooperation for World Peace Stressed Policy Statement Urged Chicago, Dec. 8 (U.P.) The republican national committee tonight wound up its two-day meeting on plans for the 1946 elections with a program stress ing full cooperation with other nations for permanent world peace. The committee endorsed a declaration of party principles, drafted by congressional repub licans to serve as the basis for the 1946 election campaigns, and with which the GOP hope to win control of congress. National Committee Chair man Herbert Brownell said after the closed committee meeting that the program was approved unanimously, but Ralph H. Cake, committeeman from Oregon, indicated that all members were not whole-heart edlv in favor of it as written. Cake -wanted a more specific program than the GOP mem bers of congress proposed. Pre viously it was criticized by Arthur Clarence Buddington Kelland, Arizona national com mitteeman, who asked for a more detailed document. The resolution approved by the committee provides for ap pointment by Brownell of a s e v e n-man subcommittee to work with GOP members of congress to further develop statement of GOP policy. Brownell said he "hoped' 'the two groups would continue their work to the 1948 presidential elections. The resolution also requests state and county GOP leaders to consult with republican elect ed officials on a GOP program to represent the views of all party members. Nuernberg, Germany, Dec. 8 (U,R) Scores of letters from cranks to the defendants in the nazl war criminals trial come daily to the Nuernberg prison but none reach the prisoners be cause of security restrictions. Officials said the letters, rang ing from raving praise to angry condemnation, are intercepted to conform with a prison ruling that mail which might upset the prisoners mentally or which do not contain news vitally concern ing them are not to be delivered. Hermann Goering receives the most fan mail most of it vio lent. When told about some of the letters, Goering said, "I never mind what people are saying now. I know what they said before the war." One letter written by a bombed-out man in Hamburg began: "Dear Uncle Hermann Now you've got plenty of time to think about the thousand year reich." Another note, written by a war veteran, said: "The nazis ruined Germany! Who's the donkey now, you or me?" Probably the shortest note was sent to Goering. It was address ed: "Dear Criminal II. Goering, Nuernberg jail; Pfui; pfui; pfui!"

It took them six months work and S800 to turn out their own version of the "car of tomorrow." But they have already had two offers from automotive manu facturers and others from adver tising concerns.

Y., Dec. 8 (U.R) Federal agents have made 27 arrests in this famed honey moon resort to break up white slave rings which have lured Canadian girls across the border and forced them to enter houses of prostitution on threat of turn ing them over to immigration authorities, it was disclosed to day. At least two, perhaps three, separate rings were in operation, Assistant U. S. District Attorney R. Norman Kirchbrabcr disclos ed. He said the Canadian girls, who averaged 22 years in age were persuaded to come to the United States on the promise they could make "good money." U. S . Attorney George L. Grobe said the caso was an ex ample of the federal government cleaning up "a vicious situation where local authorities have fail ed to act." Twelve girls were taken into custody as material witnesses. Four women and three men were arrested last night by FBI agents from Buffalo as the climax of several weeks of painstaking In vestigation. Eight other arrests already had been made. Defendants arrested last night included Clarence Tucker, Olive Lee, Alice Miller and Louis Mil ler, all charged with harboring aliens; Lucy Palumbo and Eddie Kitts, charged with violating the white slave traffic act and har boring aliens, and Eddie Tucker, charged with selling liquor with out a license. U. S. marshals said the girls were taken into custody "in at least five places in the Falls and vicinity in groups of two or three" over a two-week period.
