Cabinet Studies

Appointment
OTTAWA.—The proposal for the
appointment of a claims commis­
sion to deal with property losses
or Japanese evacuees is now be­
ing studied by the federal cabinet,
it was disclosed this week by* Mrs.
Hugh MacMillan, secretary ot the
Co-operanve Committee on
panese Canadians.
In reply to an inquiry on the
Coleman. under

secretary of state, had written to
the Co-operative Committee that
a decision will be reached by* the
cabinet “in the reasonably* near
future.”

Mr. Mitchell made the announce­
ment during the omnibus bill (No

ing with Japanese controls was up
tor consideration.
The new regulations. "Adminis­
trative Order No. 5.” is passed un­
der the authority of P.C. 946. and

SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS
Alberta evacuees have been

between the Alberta government

Commission.

Under the terms of that agreeCommission

were allocated:

judice were the only barriers to

the
group concluded.

S>------------------------------- ---- ----- --------(3) remove the evacuees from
the province after the war if the
province demanded removal.
FORCED AGREEMENT

The federal government was
more or less forced to enter such
an agreement, because in .1942 it
was faced with an acute problem
ci finding homes lor several thou­
sand evacuees with tew localities
willing to take them except on a
temporary basis to meet labor
shortages.
The

Alberta government has

reminded Ottawa of the agree­
ment on a number of occasions,
but no request has ever been
made to have the removal car­
ried out.

With the lifting of the move­
ment restrictions, however, the
federal government has become
powerless to carry* out the terms
of the 1942 agreement, unless it
decides to pass new regulations
under the authority of order-incouncil P.C. 946. and this possi­
bility may be regarded as pretty
remote.

The Saga of Frank Fujino
By JOHN KIT AS AKO in Pacific Citizen
(This story of a Nisei GI who survived the Bataan Death March, escaped
from a Japanese prison ship and later lost a leg in the 442nd Combat Team’s
rescue of the Lost Battalion in France, holds its own against any war adventure
nction writers can dream up. John Kitasako, Washington correspondent for
Pacific Citizen, visited Walter Reed military hospital in Washington to interview
veteran Frank Fujino, and gives the following report.)
Washington. D.C.

Frank Fujino has seen plenty of
action all right—all the way from
Bataan to the Vosges Mountains.
This former, l.a Canada, Calif,
youth is one of the few who sur­
vived the Bataan Death March in
1942. And to our knowledge he is
the only Nisei who fought as an
infantryman in both the Pacific
and European theaters, and he is
the only Nisei not. in the regular
army who’s been in service nine
years.
Frank, who is currently con­
valescing at Walter Reed Hos­
pital, has plenty to show for his
years of fighting for democracy.
He won a Silver Star, which was
belatedly awarded to him at Wal­
ter Reed early in .1946 by his for­
mer regimental commander in the
Philippines. He has earned four
combat unit citations, two in the
Pacific, and two in Europe. He has
seven stars, four in the Pacific
and three in Europe.

Japanese section.) Five other queens, representing other racial strains,
were chosen along with Miss Odan.—(Photo courtesy of Hawaii Times

A DATE WITH A TOWN GIRL
By M. SITARR
Kaz knew what he wanted—a
real heavy date. Not a “walk­
date" around the campus or a
"study-date" in the library. After
those rough mid-term exams he
wanted something different. Wily,
I am a post-evacuation Nisei, un­
inhibited by Powell St. Nihonjinmachi spirit.

Ever since those days at Central
high, Kaz had been on the ban.
Now at Varsity he was reporter
on the campus paper, president of
the Photography Club, member or
the History Club, and a couple of
other things. In other words he
rated.
At bull sessions in the North
Hall dorm, the boys had dis­

cussed girls and dating—maybe
more than about anything else.
They all agreed that if a fellow
wanted a real date he must date
a “town girl.”

Kaz didn't like this business o<
calling at the girls' dorm—talking
^ith any girl who happened to De
‘n the living-room while he waited
for his date.
Besides the sour frustrated old
maid who was the house mother
got on his nerves. The girls had

fo catch up tc her just as she was
£houi to cros s the street for the

took her arm lightly

’’When?'’
. "To-night.-

She didn’t hesitate.
“Okay, come for me at 8:30.“
“Where do you live?”
“82 Donner Crescent.”
He gave her arm a slight squeeze
and quickly went towards the
dorm while she caught her bus.
Pretty smooth, Kaz said to him­
self.

At. 8:30 he rang the door bell.
In the semi-darkness of the hall,
they looked at each other for an
instant.
“Hello,”

said

Marge,

and

stretched out her arms in greet­
ing. It was so natural. Kaz took

her

hands

and

was

about

to

bend forward to kiss her when
the hail light was switched on.

The two separated quickly.
“Why not bring the young man
inside?” called a feminine voice.
The two young people looked at
each other helplessly.
Marge introduced Kaz to her
mother. She is.sweet and harm­
less, thought Kaz. She wanted to
know about his studies for the pre­
med course . . 13s * $

The hall clock chimed 10:30.
Kaz got up and said he’d have to
be leaving.
“You don't have to go yei.”
Marge said.
Looking up from her knitting.
Marge’s mother said. "Yes. Kazuosan. please stay for some coffee."
"No. thank you. I’d better go.

thanks very much . . . good night
. .” and he was cut in the street.

That night as Kaz lay in bed

trying to sleep, he went over
the incidents of the day. Then
he laughed quietly at himself
and at his “heavy date with a
town

girl.”

Some day when Frank hangs up
his khaki for good, he can put
away his many medals and rib­
bons as reminders of the years o<
war. They are colorful and pretty.
But he has other reminders which
are not pretty, ami which he can
never put away. He has an arti­
ficial right leg.
He lost his leg in the rescue of
the Lost Battalion in Vosges. In
his left leg he has plates of silver
to strengthen his fibia shattered
in the Philippines. In his mouth
he. wears silver braces to hold to­
gether jaws broken by Japanese
gunfire in the Philippines.

War Will Never Be Over
Yes, for Frank the war will
never be over, and the same is
true with the other fellows at his
hospital, wlio are fighting their
greatest battle.
It is a battle
which he must fight alone—a
gruelling battle against boredom,
frustration, and loneliness. But
Frank is making out all right; he
still has plenty of scrap left in
him.

Frank’s full and legal name is
Frank Fujino O’Connor. When he
was eight, his parents, three sis­
ters and brother were killed in an
automobile accident in Pasadena.
The only reason Frank is alive to­
day is that he had a cold on that
fatal day and had to stay home.
The Thomas O’Connors of La
Canada, a suburb of Pasadena,
adopted Frank. But. he dropped
the O’Connor when he joined the
442nd because he had to take so
much ribbing about having an
Irish monicker.
He went to school at UCLA and
Stanford. As a ROTC man, he ap­
plied for a commission as a second
lieutenant in 1938, but was turned
down because he was a Nisei. So
he' enlisted as a buck private and
when the war broke out he was
in Luzon, in the Philippines, serv­
ing with the coast artillery.

Captured By Japanese
When this unit was blasted *bv
the Japanese, the remnants joined
up with a company of Filipino
scouts. Early in 1942 he was cap­
tured by the Japanese.
He says he was grilled merci­
lessly by the captors who were
suspicious of his dark—h'air ana
features. He insisted he was not
Japanese but Korean - Hawaiian
extraction. Fortunately for him,
because be had been shot in the
jaw. his face was bloody and

distinguishable. Altogether he was Illinois, for temporary duty. Then
he was sent to officers training
questioned six times.

at Fort Benning. Georgia,
The Japanese finally decided
not to bother with him and so he but was washed our. he says, when
was thrown into line for the march it was learned that O’Connor was
to the stockades, which later be­ a' Nisei. Another briei stay at

Bataan Death March. He was in Sheppard Field. Texas, to tram as

Frank didn’t figure . After one of these broadcasts, tie
he would ever come out of it alive, says. Lt.-Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, who
and to this day he says it seems was present, questioned ’Frank,

judice.
Along the route of the Bataan
march, he shuddered when he
saw a Japanese-Caucasian youth

hanging by the neck from a
tree. He was an Eurasian who
had served with general head­
quarters, says Frank. That was
the fate that would probably ■
have been Frank’s had the Japa­

nese discovered his identity.

Prison Ship Torpedoed
The prison ship on which Frank
was heading for Kobe was toipedoed off the Philippines. He
jumped into the water and headed
for the shore. The Japanese guards
fired on the prisoners, and many
who were too weak to swim or
couldn’t swim fast enough were
killed.
Frank swam mostly underwater
until he was out of range. For­
tunately for him, his experience
as an underwater swimmer during
the days he hunted abalone off the
Southern California coast saved
his life.

Rescued By Filipinos
When he reached shore, he was
rescued by Filipinos who de­
clared their willingness to take
him through Japanese lines to a
U.S. unit deep inland. The Fili­
pinos put him in a huge bamboo
basket which they used to carry
fruit and vegetables to market.
Crouched in this basket suspended
on a pole between two strong Fili­
pinos, Frank began his risky at­
tempt to reach the American out­
post at Delmonico.
When they reached the Japa­
nese lines, they were stopped by
sentries. When told the Filipinos
were carrying vegetables, a Japa­
nese sentry jabbed a bayonet into
the basket several times.
Each time, said Frank, he could
see where the sentry was prying
for an opening before thrusting
the bayonet in and thus he was
able to squirm away from tim
bayonet.
When he finally arrived at Del­
monico, he was taken aboard the
last plane to be flown out from
that field. This plane carried
nurses and wounded. Because of
his loss of blood, Frank said he
passed out after the plane took
off.

Forced Down By Jap Zero

Gen. Doolittle told him that
he himself had nothing to do
with Frank’s not qualifying as
a bomber pilot. “The fact that.

I led the first raid on Tokyo,”
said Gen. Doolittle, “had noth­
ing to do with my feelings to­

ward the Nisei.
I was only a
major at the time, and I cer­
tainly had no say about air force
policies.”

Volunteered for 442nd
Seeing he could get nowhere in
the OCS or in air force school,
Frank Fujino volunteered for the
44 2nd. He fought in Italy and
southern France, and lost his
right leg in the fall of 194 1 in the
rescue of the Lost Battalion. He
was sent to Walter Reed Hospital
in May of 1945 and has been here
ever since.
Altogether 24 operations have
been performed on his right leg.
That leg has been plagued by in­
fections because the suturing was
not done properly when his leg
was amputated. All that remains
of his leg now is a short stump.

Says Need For Nisei Unity
Frank sees a strong need for
Nisei to unite in the battle against
discrimination. He deplores the
indifference of so many Nisei who
are sitting back while a tew lead­
ers Sre beating their brains out
to secure civil rights for all Nisei
and Issei. The Nisei who fought
together during the war on the
battlefronts must continue to
work shoulder to shoulder.
Frank’s face was eager and
serious as he told us these things
across a table in the Forest Glen
commissary at Walter Reed. This
Nisei amputee has suffered the
worst there was in the war on two
battlefronts, and he got a nasty
taste of discrimination on the
home front.
One can easily understand his
desire to see some tangible gains
made for Nisei and Issei as a re­
sult of the sacrifices made in the
war.

Contrary to FAM, we believe

ENTERTAI NMENT

Relief from the serious side of
the conference was provided by
many capable entertainers. Eva
Saito led a delightful sing-song
between the speeches in the after­
noon session. Favorable opinions
were heard, too. on the skit pro­
duced by the Raymond YP which
satirized the idiosyncracies of a
Canadian Japanese family.
Two Nisei pickup teams pre­
sented a well-attended basketball
game in the early evening for the
conference visitors.

with a dance in the YMCA. Geno

How important are you—or me
-—individually?
As far as I’m concerned I’m the
most important person in the
world and the whole world rearound me. I think the
same feeling is true of everyone.
But if I had never been born
or if I should die would it make

much difference?

If I had not been born, nobody
would miss me. The world may
-be poorer if someone hadn't been
born but richer if someone else
hadn’t been. And if nobody had
been born, it would be neutral—
giving God a chance to start from
scratch.
If I die, that is a natural process of life; it’s happening all the
time and many die young. There
would be a temporary disruption
in my immediate circle; then re­
adjustment would come swiftly
and life go on much as before, al­
though we’d like to romanticize it
into something more.

This is beginning to look like
a queer column, but I happen to
be half way through Maugham’s
“Razor’s Edge” and the book is
affecting me queerly.

The story7 is about an intelligent
young
man,
handsome,
with
enough money7 to make him inde­
pendent without working. His ex­
periences as an aviator during a
war makes him think about basic
things; and he starts out on a
search for the meaning of life.
I don’t know if he finds the
answer, being only half way7
through the book, but by next
week if I’ve finished it and if I’ve
nothing else I want to write about,
I’ll tell you how he made out.
If I were asked what I thought
about the meaning of life, of God,
of good and evil, etc., I suppose I
could attempt a reply, but I would
not be altogether content with it.
In other words I am still on my
quest, much like that young man
in the story.
I know a great many7 people
who have found their answers,
and a great many others who are
living according to certain theories
of life although they do not realize
it.
Meaning of life is one of those
big things you can’t prove but
you can have a lot of theories
about.
If you find a theory or
work out a theory tq fit your
needs, then I think you’ve done
very well and you have a good
chance for happiness.

These theories about the mean­
ing of life is what I understand
by “philosophies of life.” (If I’m
wrong perhaps someone who has
taken Philosophy I or II or III will
set me straight.)
There are thousands of these
theories.
