(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

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.
The union has been urging
that a government fact-finding
board be set up to see if the dif
ferential is justified, according
to James E. Fadling, CIO-IWA
vice president. He said opera
tors opposed the plan.
Fadling said in Portland to
day that the agreements recent
ly negotiated by union-employer
committees including that
between the PIRC and the CIO
here will be balloted on bv
some 35,000 northwest CIO
workers. The negotiating com
mittee has recommended accept
ance. In the Klamath area, negotia
tors for hnth PTn anA A CT
have reached agreement with !

for 5-cent increases.

ted him by the Japanese govern
ment.
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.
