Nal'l JACL (onvenlion By MIKE M. MASAOKA

N.xt week, the 21st biennial National Convention of the Japanese American Citizens League will con-vene in Chicago, with the official opening scheduled for Tuesday evening, July 14.

It is expected that some national officers and staff members will begin private meetings as early as Sun-day afternoon, followed by meetings of the National JACL Endowment Fund Committee and the National JACL Executive Committee, and possibly others, on Monday. Tuesday morning and afternoon will be de-voted to the pre-convention meeting of the National JACL Board.

All of these extra-convention meetings suggest that this national conclave next week may well be among the most memorable and decisive in the 40-year-plus existence of JACL, with a new dimension to JACL policy and programming possibly developing as a consequence of the great social, economic, edu· cational , cultural, and political upheavals that are tak-ing place today in the general American SOciety as a whole, not to mention the minority Japanese Amer-ican community as such.

That JACL officers, members, and staff are aware of these changing and challenging times and are try-ing to find ways and means to accommodate some of the more meaningful propositions within the organiza-tional framework are attested by these extra-conven-tion meetings.

And, since JACL, regardless of its detractors, is the unquestioned establishment organization of Japa-nese Americans, dissident and militant individuals and organizations that have a special concern for either or both Japanese American and Asian American prob-lems and issues allegedly are planning to make their attitudes and requests known, even to demands that the JACL agree to certain stipulated projects and "programs.

The JACL is an open membership organization;

therefore, those who desire to make their wishes known officially may do so simply by joining the or. ganization and following the prescribed channels and procedures. To those who do not choose to become members, JACL has no obligation to them as such. JACL does, however, have all obligation to its own membership to pick and choose those among non-members who may have legitimate and meaningful proposals to offer and to listen to what they have to say and to give sincere and honest consideration to any consb'uctive suggestions that may be advanced.

Beyond this, it is becoming more and more evtdent th~t \vithin JACL itself there is a new and sensitive element among the membership that calls for more paxticipation in certain activities and programs. Most certainly the JACL has a responsibility to listen to their recommendations and to give them the most careful consideration. Many members within this new generation are to be credited with such J ACL innova-tions of this past biennium as ethnic concern. Asian American studies, and meaningful cooperation with such worthwhile projects as Yellow Brotherhood, as well as with the national campaign to secure the repeal of Title IT of the Internal Security Act of 1950, the so-called emergency detention authorization. Accord-iAgI~, this .new group is entitled to respect and serious consIderatIon of their proposals for a more active and articulate JACL.

• . Sinc. adequate funding is • perennial problem

with JACL, and since some of the new projects and programs that may be approved will require substan-tial financing, it is an indication of social conscience tha-t the National JACL Endowment Committee is meeting early to consider whether it can. within its constitutional limitations, consider making some of its money available to the more worthy projects and pro-grams of this day. I

Not only must this Committee consider this com-mitment in terms of what the Endowment Fund was established for and why the contributors donated to it, but it must also determine what guidelines should be used to determine need and priorities. Though there is almost half a million dollars in the Fund, even at today's depressed market rates, the Committee must also remember that this relatively large sum can be dissipated within a year or two, or even less, on one or more worthwhile proposals if they are rather costly and expensive projects. It may well be that the Com-mittee's most formidable task will be to determine not only how to make this money available most effective-ly and expeditiously but also how to husband the fund for future emergencies and needs.

As we have stated before, this National C':lnvention

will have to decide the future course of JACL for years and possibly decades to come. Basic to any de-cision is whether the JACL is to remain predominantly a Nisei organization and whether it hopes to become more relevant to the demands of the times, now and in the foreseeable future.

In addition, however, lhe JACL must be realistic and appreciate and operate within the limitations of its own membership. finances , and staff. It can no longer afford 10 be all things to all people, even to the Japanese American population. It will have to de-cide on ils own general and specific objectives and its own activities. Aud how and what it decides will probably determine whether the JACL remains a viable and responsible organization, or whether it withers and dies like other once-worthwhile organiza-tions have when their days are done.

At the same time, we are cognizant of the general-ly conservative membership of JACL. Accordingly, we would suppose that the real task of the Convention may be to orient JACL's goals and programs toward those desired by the new generation of members, though the activities and lhe progress may not be nearly as fast and as widespread as this younger group would have them.

Furthermore, we do not see as incompatible or competitive the formation of a new organization com-posed of, and catering to. the activists, militants, and radicals among Japanese Americans. Indeed, we can envision such an organization supplementing and com-plementing the JACL, with many of its members also belonging to JACL and vice versa.

JACL's more moderate course. with its more estab-lished prestige and conI acts, might well further the cause of such a new organization, while remaining as a possible safeguard against any blacklash or re-taliaticn that might be directed against such militant groups and thereby being in a position to continue to protect and promote the welfare of the lotal Japanese American minority in all times and under all circum-lances.

Frying Pan

Denver, Colo. WISDOM OF THE YOUNG-A few weeks ago we

attended the Japanese American Community Scholar-ship Program sponsored at a downtown hotel by seven Denver area organizations. Usually this is a fragmented community with the various organizations going their individual ways with scant regard for any of the others. But for the scholarship program they cooperated and were rewarded by a handsome turnout, handsome in this case meaning about 200. For the record, let it be shown that the sponsoring organizations were the Brighton Japanese American Association, Cathay Post 185 of the American Legion, Japanese Association of Colorado, Mile-Hi Chapter of the JACL, Rocky Moun-tain Nisei Bowling Association, Simpson United Metho-dist Church and Tri-States Buddhist Church.

Besides these organizations, a substantial number of business firms and individuals came through with contributions which made possible a total of 15 mone-tary scholarships. None was large, but in total they made an impressive sum.

• • • Noteworthy as such community cooperation was,

the academic and extra-curricular accomplishments of the various scholarship winners was even more impres-sive.1 The youngsters who were recognized were not only outstanding students but leaders as well. Remark-able as these individuals are, however, there is no rea-son to believe the Denver area Sansei are any smarter, any better adjusted, more achievement-oriented than the Sansei of other areas. This being the case, the San-sei as a whole represent an enormously valuable hu-man resource, the minority who manage to get them-selves into trouble notwithstanding.

The custom of recognizing and rewarding scholar-ship probably can be t r ace d back to the prewar Japanese American communities when the Issei, with inordinate pride in their youngsters, feted the gradu-ates. My recollection is that there were few if any monetary awards made in those days, primarily be-cause no one had much to give away. The reward was in the recognition.

The elders had grandiose ideas about their off-spring going on to academic glory, conquering preju-dice, and making something of themselves. I can't remember that I, or any of my friends , had s u c h dreams. We were just happy to be out of high school and looking forward to college with both dread and anticipation. We had no illusions about our intellectual achievements, although we had no shortage of 9pin-Ions.

Perhaps in time our parents began to share our unflattering estimation of ourselves because we soon found they weren't paying a great deal of attention to our views about the Depression, the Japanese in-vasion of China, old-fashioned Issei customs, the su-periority of bell-bottom pants as compared to less jazzy styles, the stupidity of Little Tokyo leadership, and sundry other topics.

The Issei knew they were in the community driv-er's seat and they weren't about to yield to Nisei up-,starts no matter how well they had done in school. And so things didn't change a great deal despite what we felt and said because, as people grow older and more set in their ways, they regard change with re-luctance if not hostility.

• • These thoughts and recollections may be at least

a little pertinent this week on the eve of another JACL convention. It is obvious this convention will be one of the most important in JACL's history, and basic to many of the discussions will be fundamental differ-ences in viewpoint traceable to age.

One of the things few people of my age learn Is that change is inevitable, and the essence of wisdom is philosophical acceptance of that fact. Corollary to this statement that the truly wise usually learn from experience and it can be presumed that if a fellow has been around long enough to be knocked around and disappointed often enough, he may have learned a thing or two. Whether both Nisei and Sansei elements at the convention will accept the truth of these two statements is a matter of conjecture. If they do, the convention may succeed in making some valuable de-cisions. If they don't a great many hard-to-heal scars may result from the verbal clawing. ~~ ............ ~ ....

SS MUNEMORI

SCRAPPED, JACL

PLAQUE IS BACK Ship Originally

'Wilson Victory'

Which Returned 442nd

By SmG SUGIYAMA

SAN FRANCISCO - The bronze plaque reads: "Dedi-cated to the Memory of Pri-vate Sadao Munemori, eM}{, 442nd In!. Regt.. who by his heroic sacrifice on the fieJd o! battle. proved that American-ism is a matter of the mind and the heart and not of race or ancestry."

Presented by the Japanese American Citizens League on Marcb 16. 1948 at New York for emplacement on board the USS Sadao S. Munemori, the fIrst and only U.S. vessel to be !lamed after a Japanese Amer-Ican, the plaque and a framed photograph of Pfc Munemori, posthumous recipient of the nation's highest a war d for bravery and service to coun· try, were returned to the cus-tody of the J ACL in a brief ceremony here June 28.

Presenting the plaque and photograph to National JACL President Jerry Enomoto be-lore the Northern California-Western Nevada Dis t r i ct Council assembled in the Bank of Tokyo Hospitality Room , Capt. S. W. Gaston , Assistant Director for Operations of the Mar i tim e Administration Western Region, of Seattle, in recounting the history of the ship. closed his rel1'larks by stating,

flJmt as PrIvate l\lune-mori bad a short life fight-In&' for his counlry, so did the ship that was named after him. Both the indivi-dual and the ship served their country well." The sbip was buill in 1945

and was originally named the Wilson Victory. It had return-ed the men and colors of the 442nd Regimental Com bat Team from Italy in July 1946.

Renamed the USS Mune-~ori in October 1947, but re-tired to the reserve fleet in 1949, it was placed into service again in the Pacific during the Korean war.

Retired to the reserve fleet again in 1952 after a sea going career of abo u t only five years, It was finally scrapped earlier this year.

Munemorl's Exploits

Munemori was a native of Los Angeles. He bad volun-teered trom Manzanar Reloca~ lion Center. During the final Po Valley campaign in north-ern Italy In April 1945, be was an assistant squad leader in A Company, IOOth Battalion, 442nd Infantry.

In the face of murderous enemy fire from enemy bald-ing the rocky pinnacles above, be made repeated one-man attacks in an effort to dislodge the enemy so that the squad be now led for his wounded squad leader could advance. He reduced two machine gun emplacements, but was forced back by enemy fire and gre-nades.

No action was taken, how-ever, concerning the change of Miss Hatanaka's status to that of a penn anent teacber so sbe could be retained for the program.

Teacher's Status

Although Mis s Hatanaka had taueht for two years at Dorsey with great success and high recommendation, she is still placed in a temporary status because sbe has not taken a proficiency examina-tion in Japanese.

According to the community committee, no such examina-tion has been offered, al-tllough Miss Hatanaka bas .~ed repeatedly to be given such an examination.

Kazuo Higa, instructor at Los Angeles City College and a committee spokesman, said: "It's no fault of Miss Hata-naka that she did not take the e x am . It wasn't available.

"That is why we are so concerned with the re!.ention at the most highiy qualified teacher. We must bave a teacher, like Miss Hatanaka who can motivate and educate our students.

We resent Japa-nese being considered insigni-ficant and we resent our ideas and needs being treated as if insignificant."

"The way in which Miss Hatanaka is being dismissed is unjust. She wanted to take the proficiency examination, but sbe was denied this. Now they want to fire her because she hasn't. That is going to have to be rectified."

Dr. Buss was asked by tbe community committee to ar-range a proficiency examina· lion to qualify Miss Hatanaka for a regular position. He said be would investigate the feas-ibility at such an examination and report back to the com-mittee July 6.

unLE TOKYO REDEVELOPMENT

PROJECT APPROVED BY U.S. GOYT. LOS ANGELES - It'. "Go!" for Little Tokyo.

The LitUe Tokyo Redevel-opment Project can now go from paper to brick. All of the efforts of planning what has been called "one of the most unique redevelopment projects in the nation" can now be· come a reality.

Richard G. MitChell. admin-istrator of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) at the City at Los Angeles. happily announced last week (June 28) that the Depart-ment of HousIng and Urban Development (HUD) of tbe federal government has offi-cially approved tbe LitUe To-kyo Neighborhood Develop-ment Program.

"Witb the official approval of HUD. this promises to be the start at a bright new era in the lives of the people of this community," said Mit-chell. "It vindicates tbe faith of so many people in this com-munity who have laid the foundations for a new Little Tokyo for these many past months and years," he con-tinued.

Final Official BurdI.

This announcement at HUD approval, the tinaI official hurdle betore LitUe Tokyo re-development could become a reality, followed months ot anticipation after tbe unani-mous adoption of the project by the Los Angeles City Coun-cil on Jan. 29. When Mayor Sam Yorty signed tbe ordi-nance in February, the stage was set for tOOay's announce-ment whereby the reconstruc-tion of Little Tokyo moved from the planning boards to the realm of concrete reallty.

Projected as a lo-year pro-gram, the redevelopment at Little Tokyo, whose history goes back to 1885, is expected to bave ahout $100 million in-vested by local private inter-ests when completed.

In addition, the federal net program coots in the form at grants anti loans for reloca-tion payments, street improve-ments, construction of malls, administrative and technical services and demolition costs for the total project will be in excess at $40 million.

For the fiscal year of 1970-71, $3* million will be avail-able for Little Tokyo. During this period, two major com-mercial areas involving seven lots will be developed by com-mercia! areas involving seven lots will be developed by local property owners so that relo-cation resources will be read-ily available to businesses as the redevelopment process continues. Planning and feas-ibility studies for the Cultural Community Center and the Senior Citizen Housing Area as well as the proposed botel will continue at an accelerat-ed pace.

"Although Little Tokyo Is sma 11 in area~ it is major

league in tennl of dollan ..... _ more Importantly, In ~ said Kango KUnltsugu, ellA project manager of the LIttle Tokyo Redevelopment ProJ-ecl. "When completed, Little Tokyo not only will be a place where people can vIaIt to pur_ cbase. sell. eat and recelft professional service. but It will also he a place where people can sing, dance, team and Hve. Tbe master concept plan Is dlctated by the t'ull0Il of commercial, cultural, reli-gious and residential IntereJII of the Japanese communlt;r. We bope that the concept u proposed Is also the heglnnJnc of the redevelopment of a co-hesive community," he added.

As a result of communlt;r desires expressed through the 51-member Mayor's Little To-kyo Community Development Advisory Committee (LTC-DAC), what is now envlaloned for Little Tokyo are new shop. ping areas of major propor-tions. with landscaped man. and walkways. A major botel is also proposed, which Is ex-pected to attract vislton on an international scale, making Little Tokyo a vital link for Pacific and Asian areas with the United States.

About 1,000 units of apart-ment-style bousing Is planned to be developed, which would include residential complexea for senior citizens as well as low and moderate income fam-ilies. High-rise apartment. m the general public are alJO planned.

Community Center

Tbe beart of the project which has stirred the interat at the community is the pr0-posed $3 million Cui tu r al Community Center. The cen-ter will bouse and he a show-case for all the various cul-tural arts while at the aame time providing for the social service needs at the commu-nity. Also projected In the complex are a 1,200-seat thea-ter for stage productions and a gymnasium.

Project houndaries are Ala-meda St. on the east, ThIrd St. on the south, Los Angelea st. on the west and FIrst St. on the north, including an f1l the private properties north of First St.

''Residents and hUllineuea contemplating moving should check with the CRA's Little Tokyo Project Office, since they may be eligible far mov-ing costs," Kunitsugu said.. In-quiries regarding moving by project area residents and husinesses should be direc:ted to Sachiye Hirotsu. asaistant project manager who Is In. charge of the rehouslnl de-partment.

The CRA'. Little Tok;yo Project Office is located at 324 E. First st. on the fourth floor of the Merit Savlnga and Loan Building_ Further infor-mation is also available by calling 624-0837.

While Michigan A venue Is elegant and slightly snobbish, Slale Slreel is a synthesis of all walks of life, races and nationalities. You can buy a &able coat for $30,000, a Paris gown for $2,000 or a house coat tor $2.00. You can choose a fine painting or a 20c hot dog, see a stage play or movie, or even fioat a loan.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Prohibition, Al Capone or the SI. Valentine's Day mas-sacre no longer depict life in Chicago. But if your curiosity leans towards hoodlums, then there are a few titans of crime aboul. You can skip the tour of gangster homes. They are bopelessly middle class - in-conspicuous abodes . . . not anything near what Holly-wood scenes show.

In Oak Park there is Momo Salvatore Giangono with a dozen aliases, best known as Sam Giancana, HThe Cigar". In River Forest lives Paul uThe Walter" Ricca who for-merly managed theater prop-erties for AI Capone. Several blocks away is Anlhony "Big Tuna" Accardo. Other names are Cerone, Buccieri, and Aiuppa "The Dove".

The SI. Valentine Day mas-sacre took place on North Clark Street bul is no longer there having given way to high-rise developments. The brick wall was removed at auction and you can buy the bricks at a price. Such is life.

Visit the Wax Museum in Old Town for a few ghastly sights.

WHAT'S LEFl' One cannot leave without

visiting the many museums. Be it natural history, histori-cal, art or military, one can see and be inlrigued by a variety of objects ranging from Doll, lapidary, folk, health, Indian, Polish, and art.

There's harness racing and regular horse racing. We have Ann Landers in the Sun Times. You can buy good jelly beans at Rush and Ohio. Sightseeing by bus, boat, or helicopter. A replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

And funny names like . . . Little Bitty Inc., Alley Cat, Prissy Missy, On the Ball, Off-to-College InC., Forgolten Peo-ple, Timinlc and Fickle Dick. And of course we have Lake Michigan at your doorsteps.

However, the Legislative Committee has been involved with amending the 1952 im-migration and Dationalily act in connection with temporary admission of aliens with ex-ceptional ability, trainees, in. ternational executives, tian. cees, and with the two-year foreign residence requirement for exchange visitors.

uln this particular bienni .. urn, because of the unique competence and qualifications ot the chairman (serving the ad hoc committees) and b~ cause we did not personaUy devote as much time as per-haps we might have been able to, this alternative was a suc-cess," the c()ochairmen said.

''But, perhaps In another biennium with other chair-men, this may not prove true.

uIn any event, the tact that ad hoc committees are estab-lished may blunt the initia-ti ve and activity of such standing committees as this and cause dedicated JACLers to shun chairmenships of standjng committees."

Reeommendationa

While the committee recog-nized the expansion ot legis-lative concerns by JACL, it also felt the consequences of increased demands on a part-time Washington representa-tive are "unfair to both J A-CL and to the Washington Representative." Either the Washinglon Representative be provided additional funds or a separate, tull-time Wash-ington J ACL Office as opera-

it reminded that JACL was able to achieve what it has been able to "because it con-centrated on limiled but ne-cessary legislative objectives."

JACL's influence today is what it is ubecause lawmak-ers have come to recognize the legitimacy of JACL's leg-islative appeals."

uWe would not like to see J ACL become simply another lobbying orgaDization. con-cerned with many worthwhile goals but unable to play a unique and decisive role in a special area of legislative concerns." Hay ash i and Sprung deoiared.

The program was establish· ed in the name ot George J .

Jnagald, former national prea-ident, wbo was honored by the 20th biennial National JA-CL Convention here in 1968, to recognize chapters baving the "best programming In the area of citizenship".

nuclei in each district recommended LONG BEACH-In the spring ot 1968, because ot increasing tensions among min 0 r i t y groups. President Jerry Eno-moto established the JACL Ethnic Concern Committee with Dr. David M. Miura ot Long Beacb as chairman.

Its basic objective was to -toster greater understanding and cooperation among minor. ity groups in furthering the common goals ot equality, jus-tice and dignity tor all".

That year, a PC exchange .. program with other minority ,.groups was initiated and the

·'Blue Dignity" card for bus· lness enterprises was conceiv-ed by the committee.

Southwest area, sponsored a series of workshops In Los Angeles to focus g rea t e r awareness of community prob-lems. JACL's first contact with the Yellow Brotherhood was through a workshop.

I t successtully challenged the J ACL scholarship pro-gram, geared to academic ex-cellence, with the result that JACL instituted a student aid program.

"Because Ihe Ethnic Con-cern Committee has been willing' to listen to and deal wltb any and all Iss u e • brought betore It, It has gradually i n v 0 I v. d Into sometblng more than Its ori· ginal scope of concern," Dr. JllIura said In his report this week for the National Con-veution. "Because of Its wlllingness

to do somethlng about it, new lines ot communication have opened with groups and indi-viduals with whom JACL has bad no previous contact.

"We hope that this commit-tee can continue to promote dignity through understanding and serve as a sounding board and clearinghouse tor the con-c ern s ot Individuals and groups.

"We hope that this pro-gram can be expanded so similar nucleus c.ommtttees of concerned Individuals would be establlsbed In each district council, particularly in large metropoUtan area"," Dr. IIUura concluded.
