Disclaimer Added

Per i 0 d i c announcements were made by KTLA in at­tempI to assuage the J ACL ruld BOA pl'otest, by assert­ing the ch~al'actel'izalions were fictional and not intended to demean persons because of their race, color or creed.

A primary concern or the JACL and BOA representa­tives was the stations' insen­si tivity to the harmful eUect of such films on Americans of Asian ancestry. Although. it would be unlhinkable today to ail' movies showing Callcasi­rulS made up 10 play Blacks 01' movies showin g Blacks in Stepin' Fetchit stereotypes, the same thing is done to Asi· ans without a second thought, it was pointed out.

Asian Law Students Assn, al USC protested tbe KTLA decision to show the film and sougbt equal time for an Asian American critique of tbe Fu Manchu stereotype.

Committee that "M a dam e Sill," a movie made for tele­vision, will not be scheduled for any further airing and that all plans [or a sequel bave been cancelled_ The film starred Bette Davis in the title role as a powerful and awe­somely evil international men­ace.

Immediately after Its pre­miere showing 00 Jan. 15_ th~ committee began a series of conferences with the net-work. Wide-ranging discussions cov .. ered the bistory of the de­piction of Asians on the American stage, films and television, tbe efiect that th~ bas had on the Asian Amel'i­can population and its current ramificalions.

A key issue was the re .. running of "Madame Sin.n While the network executives professed understanding and sympathy with the view points expressed by tbe J ACL com­mittee, tbey were reluctant to forego the rerun revenues, Tbis single issue alone re­quired many meetings.

"The announcement by AJ­fred Schneider is evidence of the success of the efforts made by our committee and of the willingness of the network to maintaul a dialogue,u declared Irwin Paik, PSWDC chairman .o! the committee.

Anti-Mineta document circulated By JIlIl ONO

San Jose On Marcb 27, 1972. Mrs,

Dorothy Dowlen went before tbe City Council of the City of San Jose and read tbe at­tacbed document, The "dis­tinguished supporters" she re­ferred to included Mr, Jack Licurse of American Legion Post 89, Dorothy Silva of the Civil Service Commission J "Ml'. Gordon Neal, and Mr, Gil Jasso. Joe Tafolla and Paul Stamp o[ the "Committee to Save Model CiUes". This doc­ument has since been given wide circulation in Santa Clara Couuty and because of its vile contents, I am co01-pelled. as a Japanese Amer­ican. to answer some of its most repugnant charges and bmuendos.

The "Dowlen document" is a tragic instrument from two standpoints. The first is to learn Of the tragedies she has suffered and for which all people should extend to her thcir deepest sympathies. The second It'agedy is that these events which should be hel' sh'ength, have been replaced by a cancerous bitterness and batred; for this, she should be gh'cn Olll' pity.

No one can deny the losses suffcred by the Filipino peo­ple nor their bravery and coura)!e during WW2, No Ja­panese Amel'ic811 atlelnpts to equate their suffel'ing to that of the Filipino in WW2, Each of these even Is, like the atro­cities upon Ihe Jews and tbe My Lai Villagers, should be noted as blemishes in the hi -tory of mankind, None should be forgotten. bul each stand as reminders that wars do not solvc problem..<. but b,-iug about inhumanities and at.ro­cities of all nature. Mrs. Dow­len's Implication that Japa­nese Amel'icans should bear lhe blame [or hcr losses and the suffering of thc Filipino people dUl'ing WW2 must be challenged. These statements, borne out of her bitterness, fall into the ab)'go of I'acism, for no morc must Filipino Amedcans sha!'e the burden of M1's. Dowlen'~ vUe state­ments, (nor) must Japanese Amel'icans beal' Ule bw·den 101' the murdel' of her loved ones by the Japanese Army.

Sm Ulnr Faoe.

Mr., Dowlen's statement that Ilhotographs showing Japa­nest' AmC"l'lCanS smiling on bo,U'd trains destined lor the internment canlps evidences that we Wel'" glad to go does not deserve an anSWC1'. ] only hope :he will under,lund the .trcnglh o[ these AmerlcA"s to smlle i~ no mOI'c COUI'RReou than that of Filipinos, ,lew, [n \VW2 and toduy, Vit"lnaJnPse who ,mile in Ihe [are of tra­gedy And adverse condition.,

Her Iialemeni thai "Exe-

cutive Order 9066" , an exhibit of photographs 01 the concen­tration camps. will build a gap of bate, feat'. suspicion and mistrust is ONLY bue of those wbo continue to harbor tbese em 0 t ion s ft'om this event. I submit the vast ma­jority will look upon it as a historical remindel- that it sbould neVel- happen again to any person or ethnic group. This should also be true of the tragedies which occurred in Mrs. Dowlen's life.

'rbe cbat'ge that Mayor Mi­neta harbors a grudge against Anlcrica and the American people, must be challenged. This statement would imply that he holds himseLf separate boom his counb'y and his citi­zenship, Mayor l\linela was born, raised aDd serves in the United States; he is an Amer-ican and an American Citizen. Does his service as an officer in the Korean 'Val', a member of the Grand Jury, Human Relations Commission, City C 0 u n c i I man, Mayor and countless 0 the r conununity service activities evidence a

prejudice and bigob'Y. We are also very aware and proud that our counb'Y has provided many benefits and for which all of us are grateful.

Although one can easily se" from the past events of Mrs. Dowlen's life, the rationale tor her bitterness, it is, however~ unfortunate that her tragedies did not strengthen her cbar­acter but ooly lmpair ber judgment. It is fw1.her tragic that a person filled with so much bate sits on the Human Relations Commission . Iron­ically, the aim of the Conunls­sion is to promote racial har­mony. I submit, in ber present state of mind, she does not be­long on the Hunlan Relatiom Commission.

Ms. Tanabe is a oommunl­cation. graduate of the Unlv. of Washington, and uFence," which was telecast last Dec. 7, has won a Sigma Delta Chi national journalism fraternity award since.

The screening was held at the ABC studios In Hollywood. After month. of letter writ­Ing land run-ins with secre-taries of ABC executives to

• • • It Is difficult to start this week's piece except to

advise that the political honeymoon for San Jose Mayor Norman Mineta is over after being in office for a year. PerhaM U's a mistake to assume there is such a thing III a t'Political honeymoon". The other night at the K1yoshi Sonoda home he told an informal gathering of JACLers and friends he was expecting a recall move­ment to be initiated, capping a series of problems that have festered in recent months but which burst when the exhibit "Executive Order 9066", came. Norm was even labeled a "subversive" for endorsing this show­Ing by a member of the city human relations commls­

lion, who since has been relieved.

This outburst caused the Sequoia JACL chapter wes1dent Charles Kubokawa to comment on the need lor the Japanese American community "to work to­gether rather than splintering off into separate com· munity and legal action groups in trying to educate

the misguided, uniformed public".

The current sore point in San Jose was agitated by the so-called Dowlen Document, nolV being circu· lated widely in the county to fire the recall forces. A 1,OOO-word statement read before the San Jose City Council on March 27 by Mrs. Dorothy Dowlen, who lost her first husband, father, mother and brother in the Philippines during Wotld War IT, castigates the mayor for sponsorin~ the exhibit, "Executive Order 9066". She branded his role as "political opportunism" so as to gain public sympathy by Japanese Americans now in public office. To her, the story of Evacuation beinll retold thirty years later was divisive and dis· turbmg. What motivates them "to open old wounds"

after all these years, she asked.

Past 'San Jose JACL president Jim Ono was com· 1I8lled to answer some of the repugnant charges and innuendos in the Dowlen document. His response and the Dowlen document appear as is for the record else­

Where in this week's issue.

The mayor was asked at the Sonoda gathering, "What's for 1974 ?", assuming he scans wider political horizons. Norm said he would know in 1973, but he left·that night for home probably wondering "what's for '72",

Ubrary ends May 13 and its twin display at the Pasa· dena Art Museum closes May 21. It will be shown again at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., opening the day the National JACL Convention starts June 27.

The exhibit introduces this tragic event in Amer· Ican history to a new generation not addicted to read· ing and boldly commends a sidelight of World War IT seldom regarded into graphic print and pictures. While Evacuation has been Ignored in general American his· tories, especially at the elementary levels-it is sub· ject that has been richly covered in a variety of books, magazines and periodicals, In scholarly dissertations, and more importantly resting in the documents stored in the National Archives. A glimpse of the "hurt" suf­fered by evacuees In the camp appeared in our 1970 Holiday Issue when a Dies Committee hearing officer visited Heart Mountain Relocation Center In 1943. The archives should have a host of similar testimony.

pressive piece of work by an attractive young lady who looks as though she ought to be more interested in dates and dancing tban in docwnen­tarles, but enough ot stereo­types. She and Tricla Toyota ot KNBC prove that brainy girls are also darned good­looking.

• • Busting ltereoylpes about

Asian Americans was the point of "The Fence at MIni· doka." A carefully balanced presentation at the beginning of what happened during the early hysterical days of the war wben the American pub­lic reacted to stereotypes by throwing out some of the cornerstone concepts of the U.S. Constitution and perse­cuting a racial minority for no other reason than that they resembled the enemy was tied to a socko ending in ' which Phil Hayasaka, now director of the Seattle Human Rights Department, points out that history can indeed repeat It­self.

" . .. There are things hap­pening today that happened 30 years ago ... Because Ja­pan a g a i n appears to be a world power and (is) regard­ed as a threat to U.S. economy in textiles and what have you, we are hearing things deroga­tory about things Japanese and Japan. The meaning is there of what happened 30 or 35 years ago. And this trans­fers over to tbe people who are over here • • ." he de­clares.

Hayasaka goes on to say that stereotypes, good or bad, are derogatory.

That the point was not lost on the small audience wbich saw the film last Tbursday was indicated in their reactiOn to a comment made by John Bigelow, who was WRA r.­ports oWcer at Minidoka.

"They took it with a great deal of calmness and objec­tivity and in a .ense a. a learning experience. I thoulibt It demonstrated to me tbeir character and they took it in a very superior way," opined Blgelow. The white and black members of the audience tit­tered at the "praise," recog­nizing in him the well-in­tentioned white who approve. of non-whites who act in a manner he wants, without once thinking what this is do­ing to the non-white man'. dlgnity, his sense of seli­worth. . .

II we have too l\Uluy "pro­fessional" friend! of the J apa­nese today, we also have too many Japanese who can't seem to distinguish between true friends and those whose soliles today can turn 80 easi­ly Into snarls tomorrow, Japa-

Editor: Chicago Hot Air (PC: April

28) blows like a refreshing summers breeze with an oc­casional tornado thrown in for spicing. I just bappened upon this column this week and it prompted me to seek previous issues of the PC in case I missed other gems. Your re­quest for reader response in the first column uinci tes" me to write. Who is this Miyo Morikawa? His observations are most stimulating and, to my mind, the perspective is "right on".

I am merely a passive ob­server of JACL bappenings but was truly invigorated to find this column. Do oarry on.

As long as I'm on compli­ments, Pd like to express ap­preciation for the efforts of the National Education Com: mittee.

TAYE TASHIRO Watsonville, Calif.

Editor: I read Miyo Morikawa's ar·

ticl~, "A Third-Force View of Man" (April 28 PC), several times trying to !igure out what It means and am still confused. The author men­tions a new "third force" af .. ter behaviorism and psycho­analysis, but in no way ex­plains wbat this "third force" is.

He then goes on to say that Issei wore western-style dres.\' and joined tile Christian rell, gion so as to cast no doubt ot their wOI't.hIness to the white society. Like all sim­plistic solutions. this is pa­tently absurd. I'm sure the reason a man wears trousers instead of Japanese dress is that he feels more comfort­fble. Similarly, I presume the Issei Became a Cbristian be­cause he thought it was the truth.

For that matter-one could el'ptaln man's action by many forces: a 4th lorce being that man has no free will but an infinite nwnber of choices; a 5th force, that man has no real free will but is follow­ing a predestined divine path, etc., to say nothing of the m 0 s t important clloree'" namely, that error comes ab­out in the difficulty of simp­ly det.rminlng truth.

I don't know how m u c h Kendo has enriched the lives ot millions of us here, as Mo­tlkawa intimates, but iI he's looking for the True Force to guide his liIe, I suggest he check Kwalru-an (AD 1100) painting the Tenth Bull, which reads:

blacks in the recent past. With stereotypes being the Hstandal'd," it is hardly sur­prising that when an individ­ual is met personally, the "ba· lance system" of the majority society individuals are seri ­ously unbalanced when the person does not !it the stereo­type.

In this connection. the NBC column indicated that most Caucasians still judge an indi­vidual by " race" or physical features than anything else. The belief that whites are al­ways light is so well indoc­trinated that any individual exposed to this propaganda in the United States is somehow' viCtimized - consciously or not.

The reality is th.at it is ac­ceptable for the majority so­ciety to "punish" nonwhites, but 10 and behold the reverse is totally unacceptable, no matter how unjustilied the nonwhites may be. The solu· tion? Nothing simple exists. But it seems that the propa­ganda "truths" disseminated in the media must be replac­ed by realities as they exist, and a serious reinterpretation of American history would be major steps in this direction.

American 'do-gooder

Editor: Being a concerned Amerl­

an citizen is an objective of each and every JACLer. Tbe validity of this concern must continually be questioned lest it become not "real" concern, but instead, "nervous" con­cern expended by tbe Ameri­can "do-gooder.u

The "do-goodel"" syndrome Is a common malady. The symptoms stem from:

a. lack ot foresight and ob­jectivity.

b. sympathy for the under­dog.

c. a tendency to be swayed by emotion words suoh as IIPrejudice", "Discrimina­tion", "Poverty" .....

d. a fervor to jwnp on the band wagon in the name o( IIright"; often a radic­al cause.

e. getting involved in situ· ations which he bas no knowledge or jurisdic­tion.

Members of the San Luis Obispo JACL Chapter extend a plea to all J ACLers, not to jump on the bandwagon of any cause without thorough evaluation of both sides. Our cocern stems from one cbap­ter's support of UFWOC.

The radical demands and acllvities of UFWOC have ntined many family farms up and down the California State. StrIkers Intimidate their own workers. Tactics such as sec­ondary boycotts affect every other person. Their demands are economic, not social.

San Luis Obispo J ACL urges all J ACLers to STOP - LOOK & LISTEN to both sides of any question and not fan into the syndrome of the Ameri­can Udo-gooder.1I

And there was Seattie May­or Ear 1 Millikin who was quoted: " ... 7,900 probably are above question but t he other 100 would bur n this town down and let the Japa­nese planes come in and bring on something that would dwad Pearl Harbor."

Then tilere was the 8 o'­clock curfew for Japanese, but not tor the Gennans and Italians. Some violators of the curlew, some arrests. Not many. And attorneys Kenji Ito and Tom Masuda tangled wit h the federal courts on charges ot failing to register. Gordon Hirabayashl tested the legality of Evacuation. And C.T. Takahashi and Ed Osawa were charged with em­bargo violation.

Otonashiku, we assembled. Boarded buses and left Seat­tie many of us for the tirst time. To Camp Harmony, as the Puya llup FaJr/(rounds were called.

Most ot us w.re on Orders 17 and 18 (April 28·May 1). Then came Orders 36 and 37 (May 8-9) , Order 40 (May 10-11) and Order 57 (May 14) - and that took care ot Greater SeatUe.

The exodus continued for about f 0 u r we~ks, and lly June 3, a II Japanese in 14 Western Washington counties were cleared. But General De Witt lVas not through yet. Or· det No. 98 ditected Japanese in Kittitas, Yakima, Klicki­tat, Benton, Chelan and part of Okanagan cOunties to eva­cuate, from June 4-7.

And Portland's Japanese, also on May 1. began mov­ing out to their assembly cen­ter, called PILE, a livestock expo site.

And so the first caravan of 474 advance evacuees from Seattie left on April 28. They made it ~asy for us to iol­low.

On April 27 and JlIaS' I, some Alaskans arrived in Pu­yallup, led by Mike Hagiwa­ra. They included several tuU Indians and their half-Japa. nese children, settling in sec­tion 6 of Area A.

THE FEDERATED PLAN Cleveland, Ohio

The purpose of the proposed Federated Plan is to provide greater autonomy for district councils to develop and Inlple­ment the.ir own program. Progl'am funds and staff asslstanoe would be provided by reallocation of present staff and funds,

The need for such a plan was based on the assumption t hat voluntary leadership alone is inadequate to proper­ly implement effective J ACL programs, that JACL pro­grams are becoming more is­sue oriented, and that dlstrlct councils are experiencing In· creasing difficulty in carry­ing out National programs without sta ff assistance.

A total of 27 chapters and 6 district councils acknow­ledged receipt of the propos· ed Plan. Of these, 7 chapters and 4 district council govern· ors submitted very thoughUul and full statemenls.

In general, all respondents recognized the need for staft assistance at the district level. But many felt the Plan as proposed would not assure adequate assistance and would tend to dilute the National program. By Implication, the respondents seem to be say­ing that either we cannot af­ford to or no attempt should be made a t this time to re­set priorities within the cur· rent level of spending.

EDC Comment

ance to implement national programs at the district levels. This concept is in line ,vith those who felt that district activities and programs should not be supported entJrely by national funds.

If our immediate objectives, then are to strengthen t h .. national programs and, at the same time, to provide need­ed staff assistance to district councils. we will need to seek additional funds . Based on responses received to date, the resetting of priorities within current level of spending un­der the proposed Federated Plan does not appear to be a feasible alternative.

May I extend my apprecia­tion to the foUowing persoIU for their interest and concern:

On the other hand, the U NO BAR views expressed by the Cen- • tral California and Northern California dis trict governors Continued from Page 1 are shared by some ch<lpter presidents. Staff assistance on a part time basis is urgent­ly needed to "handle the vol· ume of correspondence from national and to transmit im· porlant matters to the chap­ters."

Regional Directors

The hiring of regional di­rectors appear to be the most effective and eIDcient means of providing. staIL assistance and of assuring the imple­mentation of a meaningful Federated Plan. The Pacillc Northwest and Midwest Dis· trict Councils are already on record requesting such posi­tions for their respective dis­tricts. Tbe National Planning Commission has tentatively proposed a plan to hire sev­eral regional directors o!ach ot wbom would be assigned to cover two district councils. .

DALLAS, Tex .. -Califomia re­searchers have debunked a popularly held assumption that Orientals are "stole" and can wi lhsland more pain than other races,

In an exclusive article from tbe Washington Post, the L.A. Times reported this put week that four Bay area research. ers have found that Orient. als actuaUy have a lower pain tolerance level than whites or blacks. and blacks have low. er tolerance level than whiles.

The study. conducted as part or medical examinations given to 41,119 persons en­rolJed in the KaJser.Perma. nente Group health ptan in San Francisco and Oakland, showed "clear-cut dlUerenc:es iri pain tolerance accordJng to age, sex and race."

Dr. Kenneth M. Woodrow of Stanford presented the pa­per May 1 at a meeUng ot the American PsyohJ~trists

Association. JolnJ.ngOr. Wood. row were Drs. Gary O. Fried­man, A.B. Sie,e1aub. and Morris F . CoUen ot Kaiser. Permanente.

The doctors use d a $200 machJne that placed I>re5$U1'8 on the pat.ient"s Achillu ten­don in the heel, produi'l~ .. ·'deep pain." ~

Men withstood twiee as much pain as women did, and younger persons were nlOre tolerant ot pain than older persons.

"The discovery that Orient­als have lower pain tolerance than whites and blacks la a new finding as tar as we could determine," the doctol1l reported.

"It Js Intriguine to spQCu­late whether this devl~t\6n from the popular stereo~ ot the stoic OrJental C1U\. be ascribed primarily to bIologi­cal differences or to cultUral factors.!)

AN APPEAL FOR OUR NATION

I believe (and certainly hope) thaI those who hlv. known me are aware that I have always sought to speak out candidly Ind honeslly on issues and people; Ihal I have not equivocated, sought compromises or

urged c~u ses for any selfish "'~Iivesi Ihat, i~c:!eecl, even et the ris~ 01 Inviting strong criticism I have olten tak,n posilions because I firmly believed in them. As .n American, mainlaining confidence in our syslem of government, that it can be made to work as inlendec:! by our Founding Falhers.

In this vein, I respectfully urge your support for Senalor GEORGE McGOVERN lor President 01 Ih. Uniled Slates.

To turn our Nalion away Irom the cC;>ntinued ""d. ness 01 spending billions for killing people, in a f.,. away land while the needs of our own,-Ihe elderly. the school children, Ihe poor, the burdens of our over­taxed citizens,-continue to be sorely Ignored.

To relain our senses and fa reslore calm to our land,

To halt Ihe paranoia of repressive legislatfon, Ih. surreptitious surveilliance of our citizenry, the spread 01 the pallor 01 fear.

To reslore open ness to our government, to havlI the voices of the people heard once again.

I deeply feel, and know, thaI Senalor McGOVERN

has the characler. the inlegrily, the sensitivily, the courage and ability 10 restore our lanc:!, our govern. ment, our peoples. And so it was that years ago when he was a candidale lor the U.S. Sen ale Ih~1 I bachd up tny beliel and confidence in him wilh a campaign conlribution. And so it is today that I place this appeal, without his knowledge or urging, and at my own cost.

$45 ...., .... 11 Deal

In the peat. convention casU were unrealistically high for the youth. and so this year f!VeT)' effort is being made to lower ,,,,penses while ' lill providiDI for a worthwhile experience. The convenllon gackage deal. estimated at $45. will include housing. meals fJ"om dlnner Tuesday. August 15 through cUnner Friday, A~gu.st 18, registration. and activity fees.

In adcU tion a transporl8 tion fund has been created under the administration of Victor Shibata Jr. JACL coordinat­or. Ali senior and junior cbapters are expected to ac­tively support this fun d so that the Jr. JACL Convention can have as many participants as possible. Registration dead· Unes for the convention are Jul)' 15 for pre-registration, and July 31 for tina 1 registra­tion.

This convention has the p0-

tential for uniqueness in many ways, but fulfilling this potential will depend on ac­tive partiCipation and support by senior and junior JACL­ers. The convention planners are providing the general framework for things - it is up to each J ACLer to help spawn the flBeginnings" the youth envision .

Some 40 Asians from across tbe nation attended the two­h 0 u r workshop in order to ,hare perceptions and propos­als for promoting media change.

The workshop was chaired bv Jeff Chan. a writer and iristructor at SaD Francisco State College, and ieatured a nwnber of uresource people" - Asians involved with vari­ous aspects of media (i.e. te!e­vision, radio, newspapers, lit­erature, films etc.).

Opening the discussion. Corky Lee, a volunteer work­er in New York's Chinatown, strongly criticized tbe cont.rol exercised over mass media by American corporations.

uMedia should serve the people, not the corpora te in­t-erests, II asserted Lee.

He pointed out tbat when· ever television programs were made about ethnic communi­ties, the main theme of the programs was established by faraway program directors and not by the people who were filmed.

Following these introducto­ry presentations, workshop delegates began to formulate resolutions and proposals con­cerning media change.

In general, the discussion on these matters was hamper­ed by the over·riding need felt by most of the delegates to obtain National Instiute of Mental Health (NIMH) funds for proposals.
