    Commemorative Services WASHrNG'l'ON. - Although an all-day rainslorm Corced the solemn rites indoors at the last minute to Fort Myer chapel, an overDow audience participated In lbe commemorative services bon· oring Japanese Americao military service in World War II.

    Aside from substituting an or· ganist for lbe United States Army Band, the enUre program went oU as schl'duled.

    As one Gl Is supposed to have remaIked to anolber in helping to arrange the shift necessitated by the unexpected weather, "After wbat these guys went through in Italy. France and the Pacillc, a little rain will not slop lbese servo ices tnday."

    The wbole program, timed to lake an hour, took 75 minutes.

    Cll\I'N!ssmen Attend

    CoDgressmeD who attend.ed In spite of the heavy downpour in-cluded Sen. Frank E . Moss o! Utoh and Reps. Don Edwards. George M. Miller, Edward R. Roy· bal and Lionel Van Deerlln, all of CaUfornla: Thomas P. Gill of Hawaii and Compton I , White of ldabo.

    All o( them were so impressed

    to lbe "Nisei of C·2" . Although DOt as well Ialown tor

    lbeir exploits because of the secret nature of lbeir assignments. lbe Japanese Americans In combat in-telligence served with courage and distinction as combat interpreters and translators In the war against Japan.

    Judge Aiso recalll'd tha.t "Nisei In G-2" work began on Pearl Har· bor Doy and at Botaan and Cor· regidor.

    "The Nisei member of the beach potrol which captured the Iirsl Jopanese prisoner ot war-the sub-lieutenant thot spied on Peorl Har· bor trom his one-man submarine-participated In his Interrogation on the evening of Dec. 7, I~I . And Sgt. Arthur S. Komori of HawaII served as combal linguist for Gen· eral Wainwrlgbl unUI e\lacuated to Australia on General Mae-Arthur's personal order," Judge Also revealed.

    "As tast as grnduales could be poured out of th~ Military Intell!· gence ServIce Lnnauage School, their activities extended into every major lbeatre oC operntJons," Judge Also sllid.

    Alter thc ceremony in the ch.· pel, wreaths were plllcAlthougb lbe rainstorm persiSI' t'd, more thon 250 observed :-10' tlonal JAC1. President K .

    Subsequentiy. at tbe masthead of the Battleship Maine !'ilonu· ment, Mrs. Nawa Munemoci pre-sented another National JAC1. wrea.th in memory oC the seveD Japaoese who were killed in the deslrllction or the USS Malne in Hovona Harbor in April. 1S98. They were the tlrst persons ot Ja· panese ancestry evcr \0 glve their lives tor the United States In war-time.
