Former Tulelake Internee Finds Japan Not Too Bad HTt5"C I J TM A .Tnnnn .Tim fl (A-) Americanized Tom Satoshi Yoshiyama has decided that life In Nippon isn't going to be to bad, after all. Six months after he was re patriated because he renounced his American citizenship, Tom is a different person from the dejected man who arrived at Uraga. Then, he did not know where he would live or whether his family was alive. He vehe mently protested the scant ra tions and dirty quarters allot- Senate Gets Harbors Bill WASHINGTON, June 8 (A) The billion-dollar rivers and harbors authorization bill which passed the house yester day and went to the senate, in cluded . the following Pacific northwest and Alaska projects and estimated first federal costs: Coos Bay.

CIO Asks Quiz On Pine Wages Wage scale differentials fa voring workers in the Klamath basin area over those in the pine areas of the Inland empire have become a matter of discussion ' between the CIO and the Tim ber Products Manufacturers as sociation of Spokane, it was learned today. Recently recommended in creases make minimum pine wages for sawmill and loggers $1,071 cents in the Klamath re gion and $1,021 in the Inland empire.

Althouch he renounced hts citizenship in the United States, Tom is an ardent advocate of democracy. He plans to run for political office. He said the occupation should continue "fifty years at least. It will take that time to teach the Japanese how to make their own democracy." Home Still Standing Yoshiyama was luckier than a lot of repatriates who were re turned with Tom from the Tule lake relocation camp. He found his family home still standing on the outskirts of atom bomb lev elled Hiroshima. He lives there with his marriage market bride. As eldest son. he owns the family home, which is spacious for a Japanese house; several other houses and some fanning land. He is employed as an in terpreter for a United States military government company in nearby Kure. And he is completely resigned to the fact that he never again will be permitted to see the United States, where he attended San Francisco state college. Tom apparently is happy and is determined to make a career in Japan. He found his brothers and sisters in Hiroshima unin jured, but has not heard from a brother who was in the Japanese army in the Philippines. No Love Match His wife, Hisoka, was not re patriated until January. Tom ex plains frankly that theirs was not a marriage of love. "While I was at the Tulelake relocation center, I decided I wanted to get married," he ex plained. "So I went to a match maker and he introduced Hisoka to me. We were married. We Japanese feel that love is not necessary for marriage it de velopes later." Life for the Yoshimas is a strange mixture of Japanese and American way9. Apparently love is developing, but Hisoka is by no means an American wife. She is definitely a servant. She does not eat with her husband when he entertains guests unless they insist and he orders her to do so. Yet both wear modern Ameri can clothes and their home is well furnished, including a ra dio and western plumbing. In their modern wall, how ever, is recessed a miniatur Buddhist shi-inn whm Micnlm and her sister-in-law worship and give offerings from their limited rice rations to the de parted souls of Tom's mother and father.
