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

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.”

Feed Makers
Honor Scientist
For Research
An A&M scientist was named
Thursday as winner of the 1951
American Feed Manufacturers As
sociation annual award of $1,000
for the most outstanding contribu
tion to poultry nuti’ition research.
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.

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

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

dir Azad. He claimed Azad threw
a briefcase at him during a Majlis

then he was punched around in the
corridors and was threatened with
a pistol.
