/ Page 4 THE BATTALION Tuesday, September 4, 1951 Feeling Good On Coast For Japanese Citizens By G. K. HODENFIELD San Francisco, Sept. 4 — </P) — This golden gate to the orient made its peace with the Japanese long before diplomats started talking about a treaty. It has the appearance of a last ing peace. Never before has there been such good feeling between Japanese and Caucasians in San Francisco. The Japanese themselves say this era of good feeling is, ironi cally, a direct result of the war. “American soldiers have visited our country on occupation duty,” they tell you. “They have found Beating Record Heat Three pretty girls find a way to beat the heat wave in Dallas that [ has broken all records of the weather bureau.

Main, Bryan Ph. 2-2435 that we, as a people, aren’t the shifty characters some prejudiced people would have you think. “The soldiers have learned to understand us and our national characteristics.” The gallant exploits of Nisei sol diers in World War II was another factor in eliminating much racial prejudice. City officials say there is yet another reason: Before the war, Japanese com munities were “closed corpora tions.” For the most part the Jap anese lived in their own district, minded their own business, and had little contact with Caucasians. When they came back from re location centers six years ago, they tried to pick up the old life, but they couldn’t. Other races had moved in on their domain. As a result they have scattered. They have been assimilated into neighborhoods that never knew a Japanese resident before Pearl Harbor. According to I. Motaki, secretary of the Japanese Chamber of Com merce of Northern California, two- thirds of the Japanese in the Unit ed States are American citizens. About 45 per cent of the Japa nese in California work on farms. Others are employed as domestics and office workers. Jack Yamasaki, manager of a local Japanese employment bu reau, says the demand for all types of Japanese workers is greater than the supply. Not all Japanese in California are hired hands, however. Many have developed prosperous busi nesses. Others are farming thou sands of acres of California’s rich soil. Last year the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce staged a Japanese trade day. Japanese and Caucasians mixed freely at a big banquet. No one remarked that it was Dec. 7—the ninth anniversary of Pearl Harbor. At least, they didn’t men tion it out loud. Everyone seemed willing to ignore the irony of the occasion. That was the day San Francisco ratified its own unofficial peace with the Japanese. Tobin Praises U. S. Workmen By The Associated Press American workers won the praise of Secretary of Labor Tobin on their Labor Day holiday yes terday for not succumbing to the lure of Communism. They have never been moved by Communism’s “idea of class con flict, and it’s a safe bet they never will,” Tobin said in a radio address (Mutual). Tobin headed a long list of labor day speakers across the nation on the traditional holiday as millions of Americans enjoyed the long weekend with trips to woods and beaches and ball parks, or just rested. President Truman spent most of the day aboard a plane headed for the Japanese peace treaty confer ence at San Francisco. Many union leaders took occasion in Labor Day talks to blast Con gress for refusing to do all the things the unions want done. One of these was William Green, president of the American Federa tion of Labor. He charged in a na tionwide broadcast (NBC) that a “coalition of reactionary Republi cans and Dixiecrats in Congress is following the policy of soaking the poor and sparing the rich.” “Behold the picture,” Green said, “a small group of die-hard politicians attempting to halt the march of progress in America— placing the interests of big busi ness ahead of the interests of the people they are sworn to repre sent.” Housing Survey Gets Under Way A survey of available apart ments and rooms with kitchen privileges and bath rooms, got under way Monday, said Harry Boyer, head of the Housing Office, today.

Dr. J. R. Couch, professor of poultry husbandry and biochemis try and nutrition, was selected for the award by the Poultry Science Association for his experimental work with biotin, insulin, lactose, folic acid, vitamin B12 and anti biotics. The selection was made at the association’s annual meeting at fhe University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the award was presented at the association’s annual banquet. Dr. C. D. Caskey, chairman of the Nutrition Council of the Amer ican Feed Manufacturers Associa tion, made the presentation. Born at Grandview, Texas, Dr. Couch received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from A&M (1931 and 1943). He received his doctor ate from the University of Wis consin in 1948. His research has contributed substantially to knowledge of the effect of folic acid and vitamin B12 in the nutrition and biochemis try of chickens and turkeys. He is the fourth scientist to receive the award. i ..1 Dr. J. R. Couch Firing Instruction Capt.

Commie Countries Ask For Iranian Oil Via Relay Linkup Network Television Due In 44 of 65 Cities Earthquake Hits Three-State Area New York, Sept. 4 —(A 3 )— A “very large local earthquake” shook a three-state area in the vicinity of New York City Monday affecting New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Columbia Univer sity Geological Laboratory report ed. A few window panes were crack ed, pictures reportedly fell off walls and objects were shaken off desks in some areas. The shock occurred at 3:26.45 p. m. (CST). Recordings of the temblor were made on a seismograph at the University’s Lament Geological Observatory at Palisades, N. Y. Dr. J. L. Worzel, the observa tory’s assistant director, said the shock was “so big on the record ing” that is was difficult to lo cate its exact center. Police in the various affected counties said reports of the vary ing intensity of the quake indicated it was centered in the Ramapo Mountains, in the western end of Rochland County and the north end of New Jersey. New York, Sept. 4—(A 1 )—Net work television, now expanding coast to coast, will embrace all but 11 of the country’s 65 TV cities. In these network communities are 94 of the 107 operating stations. The extended service is made possible through a new microwave radio relay link between Omaha and San Francisco which in turn contacts an established micro-wave circuit to Los Angeles and Holly wood. The new circuit is part of the system of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Co’s., hookup which is made up of coaxial cable as well as micro-wave units. Be sides the far west, it embraces many sections of the middle west, the east, the Atlantic seaboard and parts of the south. While not all network cities are directly on one or the other cir cuit, programs are available to them through private relays. These consist either of special micro- wave circuits of direct pickup and retransmission of programs from a station fairly close by. The new link has been under construction since 1948. Besides television it is designed to carry telephone and other communica tions services. In fact the telephone part was put under way in mid- August, ahead of TV. This link is made up of 55 relay stations, many of which utilize the high peaks of the Rocky mountains over which the circuit passes in going through Denver, without a TV station as yet, and through Salt Lake City. Actually, from New York to San Francisco a total of 107 relay tow ers are required. In addition to the micro-wave relay from New York, there is a coaxial cable circuit to Chicago. For coast to coast TV operation it is planned to use only the micro-wave pathway to insure full range signals. At the start of TV service, the circuit is to operate on a one-way basis, east to west. Later regular transmissions from the west coast, which of course means Hollywood originations, will be added. How ever, in opening the circuit ahead of the original date of September 30, temporary arrangements were made to pick up the Japanese treaty conference at San Francis co. Besides San Francisco, Los An- geles-Hollywood and Salt Lake City, it is possible for San Diego, Calif., to hook on through a direct pickup from Los Angeles. These cities have 13 stations, divided San Francisco three, Los Angeles sev en, Salt Lake City two and San Diego one. The 11 TV cities having a total of 13 stations, which will not be a part of the network until consid erably later, are in the far south, the southwest and Racific north west. Tehran, Iran, Sept. 4—(A 3 )—Dep uty Premier Hossein Fatimi said last night Communist-ruled Poland and Czechoslovakia have offered to buy Iran’s nationalized oil on a cash and carry basis. The amounts mentioned by Fa timi as prospective Polish and Czechoslovak purchases, however, are regarded here only as a drop in the bucket compared with the amounts' exported by the Anglo- Iranian Oil Company before the nationalization dispute shut down its production. Fatimi said Poland offered to buy 700,000 tons of crude oil and Czechoslovakia 500,000. Total pro duction in Iran last year, before nationalization, was 31,000,000 tons. Fatimi told newsmen Iran would take “firm action” to sell oil where- ever it can unless the British reply soon to an Iranian settlement pro posal which he said had been ig nored by British negotiators. Iran’s cabinet minister Yousef Moshar earlier gave up an over night sitdown strike in the parlia ment building which threatened to burgeon into a government crisis. He emerged nursing a swollen Ag Student Wins Cash Prize, Award James Alton Enloe of Daisetta, agronomy student at A&M has been awarded a medal and a cash prize for agricultural writing by the American Society of Agronomy.

Moshar had moved a bed into the parliament building’s committee room Sunday night, announcing he was staying there for safety be cause he had been threatened, an old Iranian device to dramatize a ^ protest. * Moshar claimed he had been socked in the eye and then threat ened in a scuffle with a Majlis (lower house) deputy, Abdul Gha- n dir Azad. He claimed Azad threw a briefcase at him during a Majlis squabble over domestic policies of Premier Mohammed Mossadegh’s Nationalist government, and that then he was punched around in the corridors and was threatened with a pistol. 3 Officials Named For Stock Show Three agricultural and livestock leaders well-known at A&M are among the officials named for the third annual San Antonio Livestock Exposition, to be held at Bexar County Coliseum Feb. 15-24.
