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.

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!"

soldier who
thought current car prices too

Merlin D. Jacobscn, the 21-ycar-old

It took them six months work

But they have already had two

Niagara Falls, N. 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.
The investigation started Sept.
