news editor last Februarv to
“sharpen up the staff”, as” Bill
explained the new' post.
There is in our Bill Hosokawa
tile a story off the International
News Service wire of last March
17, which describes him to the
tee”competent,
versatile
‘journeyman” at the trade. He is
not only an editor, a^newspaperman, but one who has operated
the linotype, the press, even fold­
ed and helped mail the papers
while at Heart Mountain.
The INS story revealed Hoso­
kawa’s attitude toward the pro­
blem faced by newspapers today.
He said “younger men are too in­
terested in becoming- specialists.
What is needed is more wellrounded, versatile newsmen who
possess the ability to edit as well
as compose, to use g'ood judg­
ment, handle a variety of types
of stories as well as become pro­
ficient grammarians.”
The ability and talent Bill Ho­
sokawa has shown also includes a
number of special articles he has
sold to Saturday Evening Post.

American Magazine.
He is an active member of the

PAG® 7

A Ballad-e“e of
Chloe and Joe
.

SAYONARA. . .
A lai'oe number of local Japanese Canadians showed up fox* the
Toronto premiere of Sayonara last Wednesday night (It opened a
week before in Vancouver, and last night in Montreal), and I saw
quite a few Nisei and Issei women dx'essed xxp in kinxoxxo taking ad­
vantage of Famous Players’ wonderful publicity gimmick. That is,
any person of Japanese origin showing up atUhe Imperial in
authentic and. complete Japanese kimono was admitted free. I didn’t
see any kimono-clad men. . .
_ An added gimnxick in cooperation with the House of Fuji Matsu
which I didn’t see was a miniature teahouse at the rear of the mez­
zanine dispensing free sukiyaki, etc.
You all know the story of Sayonara by now if you were halfinterested in it, so I won’t go into it here. In my opinion (which is
useless because I go to the movies about three times a year). Sayo­
nara is good. At least, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A few impressions here'-and there as I rush for the deadline-Marlon Brando’s deep South accent just about bowled me over. , . .
■^ud I hate to admit it, but fox' the first- few minutes, his maimer
and accent made me think of Elvis Presley. . . . The smattering of
Japanese cultux-e Kabuki, Bunx'aku and the Takax’azuka-stvle show
—,which could have become a burden to western eyes, was off-set
by Brando’s reactions. . . . Ricardo Montalban, the tall and lanky
Latin, playing the part of a Kabuki actor, was very plausible. .
A few facts from Nisei writers down south: Much of the big
production scene was vocalized by girls in Los Angeles, notably the
Union Church choir. . . . The opening title belongs to Atsuko Kunim.ura Fenema of California. . . . TV stax' Bob Kinoshita does one
chorus of Sayonara for background music. . . . Miiko Taka is ex­
pected to g*o to Japan again on an advance publicity toux* fox- the
Warner Brothers’ movie. . . . According to Larry Tajiri, Miss Tada
“is a sensible young woman with a great deal of poise as well as
charm. She also feels a great sense of responsibility in being a
public representative of the Nisei, and governs herself accordingly.”

DISCRIMINATION CONTINUES.

THE NEW CANADIAN

Civil Rights
In

- These are some of the questions and" problems that come to
mind,as the Civil Rights Commission establishes itself for its 20month fact-finding mission, which mav result in legislative recom­
mendations.
The civil rights statute authorizes the commission broadly to
study denials of the right to vote for reasons of race or religion,
other civil rights problems in the states, and possible need for
furthex' federal legislation in the field.
While there is no question that the major emphasis will be on
the problems of the Negro in tills field, there is legitimacy to any
JACL effort to call attention to civil rights violations, if any,
against persons of Japanese ancestry in this country.
Indeed, it is not difficult to recall that ten years ago, when
President Truman set up his now historic Committee on Civil Rights,
it provided the first post-World War 2 opportunity for JACL to
dramatize the urgency of evacuation claims and naturalization and
immigration privileges for persons of Japanese ancestry before a
presidential forum.

effectively made all Canadian Ni­

groups who were barred from

divided into two classes: quota
