jETO Keveds 1st Crime
(Special)
NEW YORK.—The Japan Ex­
port Trade-Organization (JETO)
has revealed that the first largescale -import-export crime by a
Japanese manufacturer since the
war has been discovered.

The Valiant Watch Company of
New York recently made an
agreement with the Epoch Mak­
ing Company of Tokyo to pur­
chase tape-recorders and transis­
tors totalling $110,000. A part of
the order arrived by freighter
recently from Japan. When in­
spectors opened the freight of

some 300 boxes, they found that
299 of them contained only
chunks of coke—the residue from
coal used as fuel. These boxes
were supposed to contain products
worth approximately $40,180.
The Japanese Consulate' General in New Y'ork investigated the
matter and found that labels put
on in Yokohama had been forged.
The President of the Epoch Mak­
ing Company of Tokyo is miss­
ing.
Japan Trade circles were re­
ported as “worried” about the
possible after-effects of this in­
cident.

1st Oriental Co-op Worker Reveals Secrets
CALGARY.— Mr. Peter Hori,
the first Oriental to be employed
by a co-operative in Canada, i'evealed some of his highly success­
ful produce selling ideas to re­
porters of the Calgary Herald re­
cently. He has been manager of
Calgary Co-op’s produce depart­
ment since it started in 1956.
At one time Mr. Hori success­
fully operated his own fruit store
cor which he gave up an assis­
tant mangership of an eastern
banana wholesale to begin work
for the UFA Co-op in 1952. He

is the 2nd son of Mr. and Mrs.
Zenya Hori of Toronto.
Peter Hori says the successful
produce business depends on
complex market trading and
mouth watering displays.
“Fruit and vegetables sell
themselves when displayed in
their full beauty of color and
shape,” says Mr. Hori. And such
is his artistry and business sensc
that his .produce department has
increased to $5,000 a week from
$5,000 a month.
He has two unique opening

features:
“People are always surreptiti­
ously tasting the fruit-d'isplay,”
he said, “and this time we will
give them a legitimate bite.” He
is arranging a 5-foot wide fruit
turntable. Mounted on this will
be the produce guests may sam­
ple.
Potatoes, washed and oiled in
foil, are exclusive with Calgary
Co-op produce. Also unique will
be barbecue-ready corn.

Tom Kono Wins Again
HARRISBURG. — Two-time
Olympic champion Tommy Kono,
formerly of Sacramento and now
a Honolulu resident, captured the
senior National AAU
light
heavyweight lifting champion­
ship recently.
It was the Nisei athlete’s 11th
A AU weightlifting title.
Weighing' 176 pounds, Kono
recorded lifts of 315 pound’s in
the press, 280 snatch and 375 jerk
for a total of 970 pounds.
The big surprise of the annual
meet was the tremendously
strong showing of the three-man
Japanese contingent which walk­

ed off with three 1963 titles.
Shiro Ichinose of Kosei Uni­
versity captured the bantam­
weight croira with a 699.S pound
total, while Yoshinobu Miyake of
Japan’s Self Defense Force took
another title with a 819?i pound'
total.
Masashi Ouchi, another Kosei
University star, surpassed his
best marks thus far to win the
middleweight title.
He lifted 289.9 pounds in the
press and an aggregate of 894%
pounds, both new Japan records
for his class and also new Na­
tional AAU junior records.

to increase the amount pay­
