Another Side of Wendy By LEE RUTTLE (PC Speelal Correspon dent) Oakland It is verY hard to Imagine the five-foot-three , 110 pound Wendy Masako Yesbimura as a violent Or even dangerous perscn. Her ready and warm srnl le quickly changes to a worried trewn w hen she s peaks of her deep concern fer the ma..<ses of humanity who sucrer the ma1)Y injus- lices In cur society. " Changes must be made," sbe sass, but as 10 how those changes are to be brought about. she offers 110 quick and eS: y solution. "It wUl take a lot of educa- tion, personal contact," Wendy added. " Many peeple are dls- conlent.d hut they don't know why, while others are apathe- Uc," This Is the Wendy who be- lies the labels of "violent" and "da ngerous" that would be put upcn her as she ap- proaches the day of her trial on charges ot possessing il- legal weapons and explosives. It was cnly after numerous attempts by this correspond- ent to obtain n personal In- terview with Wendy, that the Fair Trlol Comrnlttee which manages her press relations, tlnally consenled. Even then, It was only Ihrough the In- tercession of Mrs. Mot·y Ann Takagi, In whose home Wendy now re,ldes, Ihat It was made possible. Thus, , n March 25, Wendy, Iocccmponied by Christopher Chow, a me mber of The Foil' Trial Committee, met with PC'! repot ter In the relaxed atmosphere or a small French .estouran t during 0 welcome lunoh break from one of the lengthy pre-trlol heorlngs ot nearby A 111m e d n Counly COUllhotlse.' . hlldhood Doy's Wendy tulked ot her child- hOod "Yes, I remember a lit- tle of Montunur, the compo I II" .s 1 \\OS only two al the IC ('c(llIy , tho only thing thtlt , Iond. c ui In my mind I. un old mDn chop- pin" wood tl<- modc runny r"Ot'& " t me!"

Another Side of Wendy By LEE RUTTLE

(P C Speela l Correspondent)

Oakland It is verY hard to Imagine

the five-foot-three , 110 pound Wendy Masako Yesbimura as a violent Or even dangerous perscn. Her ready and warm srnlle quickly changes to a worried trewn w hen she speaks of her deep concern fer the ma..<ses of humanity who sucrer the ma1)Y injus­lices In cur society. "Changes must be made," sbe sass, but as 10 how those changes are to be brought about. she offers 110 quick and eS: y solution.

"It wUl take a lot of educa­tion, personal contact," Wendy added. " Many peeple are dls­conlent.d hut they don't know why, while others are apathe­Uc,"

This Is the Wendy who be­lies the labels of "violent" and "dangerous" that would be put upcn her as she ap­proaches the day of her trial on charges ot possessing il­legal weapons and explosives.

It was cnly after numerous attempts by this correspond­ent to obtain n personal In­terview with Wendy, that the Fair Trlol Comrnlttee which manages her press relations, tlnally consenled. Even then, It was only Ihrough the In­tercession of Mrs. Mot·y Ann Takagi, In whose home Wendy now re,ldes, Ihat It was made possible.

Thus, , n March 25, Wendy, Iocccmponied by Christopher Chow, a member of The Foil' Trial Committee, met with PC'! repot ter In the relaxed atmosphere or a small French .estourant during 0 welcome lunoh break from one of the lengthy pre-trlol heorlngs ot nearby A 111m e d n Counly COUllhotlse. ' .

At abcut age nine or ten Wendy and her schoolmates were tnken on a Held trip to Hlrcshima where they view­ed the Peace Memorial, snw a movie and listened to n lec­ture on one of civlllt.atlon's mcst \I'aglc e"ents.

Wendy said, " I saw people whese bedles were scarred. It wos horri ble! Such ugly scatS, Even one of Our tenchers had seol's on his hands which bad no meaning for me until I 'l'lled Hiroshlmn. And then I heard people tell of the aW­tull s t ~neh of bu.nlng bodies, pile. and pile of human be­Ings."

'lbat news from Washington indicating the cost of mailing a single letter jumping to 34 cents by 1984 looked lIke an April Fool's joke. The item appeared in the April 1 paper-but the Postal Service was not poting fun. A study of the General Accountln~ Office, lbe auditing arm for Congress, projects a fIrSt-class stamp would cost nearly three times as much in an­otber seven or Eight years under the "self-sufficiency" c:oocept for the Postal Service.

TIle local post office and our mailers have no idea 01 the scheduled raises for second class matter due in July which explains why we have asked our Wash­ingtOn JACL Representative Wayne to confirm what we found In a trade publicatiOn. It quotes James Shep ley of Time. Inc., telling a Minnesota group that II Congress doesn't fund the next scheduled increase in July, "some publIcations will be destroyed". Without dial "alternative delivery will become an economic Imperative"_

"Alternative delIvery" in terms of the Pacific atizen might mean delivery of papers to a number of designated places a chapter might select and each sub­scriber stopping by or having them distributed priv­ately_ Private home delivery services are beginning to surface in urban areas, thus reducing the num­ber of pieces the Postal Service receives. The drop last year In the volume of mail handled by the Postal Service was the first in peacetime since the Depres­sion days.

Unfortunately, Shepley says, declining volume will not be accompanied by a decline In costs or the rates but that the Postal Service is likely til go on increasing its rates In a vain attempt to maintain revenue. The Postmaster General recognizes this and is trying to cope_ The White House hasn't, which leaves the Con­gress to assert Its will in opposition. Congress did in 1974 overwhelmingly pass a law extending the phasing of Increases In postal rates.

While the GAO favors tying postage rates to some 1IOvemment index to cover the difference between revenues and costs with a government subsidy, the rates are structured to achieve some kind of break­even operation.

Looldng at the question from a social aspect, when the common good is being served, when the health of the nation is at stake for its body politic requires Information on which to base their decisions and when the lnflueoce of the printed word is jeopardized, it's time to sound oU before we reach the point of no mum.

Our readers can exert influence in Congress, which Is currently holding hearingJI on postal rates. Second­class which services newspapers and periodicals and f~lass which services books and recordings dIouJd be regarded as pinions engaged in the defense of democracy.

The melting pot failed to function in one crucial area_ Religions and nationalities, howeve~ different, generally learned to live together, even to grow to­gether, in America. But color was something else. Reds were murdered like wild animals. Yellows were char­.cUrbed as a peril and incarcerated en masse dur­Ing World War n for no really good reason by our most liberal PresIdent. Browns have been abused as the new slave labor on farms. The blacks, who did not come here willingly, are now, more than a century aftu their emancipation by LIncoln, still suffering a host of slavellke inequalities. -Theodore M. Hesburgb

FROM THE FRYING' PAN: Bill Hosokawa

'Concentratlo. C.",pI'

Grandeur of Study Denver, Colo.

From allover the country the heart­warmlng reports are coming in. U adults among the Vietnamese refugees are having difficulties, their children are demonstrating a remarkable abil­Ity to cope with the American school I)'stem.

In the Chicago area, most school principals surveyed said they thou,l!ht their Vietnamese students will be at the top of their class once they have mas­tered Engllsh. Why have the Vietnam­ese pr01ressed so swiftly? Because, the principals aay, they have the support of tight-knit, educationally demanding families .

In the Oceanside school district In Southern Callfornla, the 39 Vietnamese children were found to be in the upper 10 per cent of their class level.

In a Denver area schOOl, a teacher says of the Vietnamese: "They really ap­ply themselves. They work very hard. And a lot of It 15 due to support from home. It they don' t behave In school they're In trouble at home - unlike ome of my American kids."

• • • For the older Nisei there Is some­

thing faintly familiar about all this. Suddenly It becomes clear . The Nisei were very much like these ViEtnamese (hlldren 40, 50 60 years ago-bright­eyed, black-haired children, workiny diligently at school, respecting the leacher, hanging on ber every word, being encouraged at home to study hard and bring back good grades. In the family ethic, If educa tion wasn't the key 10 getting ahead, It lVas a very lar!!!! part 0(" It.

And 50 t hl' NI,el bN'ome hiVh aca­demic arhlevers Earh spring the: Eng­II h crtlon, of .JapanI.' c neW3pap<'TS In Loa Angell.' and Sa n Francisco and Seattle ran long II ts ot Ni el boys and gi rls who had been named va ledictori­ans I nd .alu tatorlans of th'lr high achool graduating cia 1.'8. Maklnl the bonor roll Wit jUlt IOrt oi routine.

Teaching these young Nisei must have been a rewardIDg occupation. The kids responded. They were sharp as tacks, and the way they absorbed their lessons made the dreary job of teaching seem infinitely worthwbile. No wonder the teachers liked having Nisei kids in their classes.

• • • WE're seeing this dedication to the

On a lighter topic Wendy said she had eaten Japanese food several times recently. She expressed a decIded pref­erence for sashlml and nl"lri tulhl. She admitied she's not much of a cook hereelt but can make some of the simpler dlabes.

Wendy Ihen reminded us that on April 2, 3 and 4, she was going to have a booth at the second annual Japanese American Art Show at May­talr Mall, Palo Alto. She W8JI

httsllv cOll\pletlng a group of etchings which she wa!lted to ell at the altair.

Showlnj{ us e. sketch of one p.tchlng. It was easy to see that this girl has a rare talent fr. whlch. her sensitivity to­ward human beings Is poig­nontly evident. She also prom­Ised the use 01 one ot these etchings for publlcaUon In Pa­cine CItizen .

The Interview was now over. Wendy had eaten a heart,y lunch, and II was time to returo to the courtroom. That afternoon, Wendy was called to the witness stand where she lesponded with poise, dignIty, and a show of humor.

"That's different, and you know It," Johnson says peev­ed.

"What's different about tt," the Captain shoots back. "Is It the slant 01 their eyes? Or I. It Ihe color of Ihelr skin." The captain goes on to give Johnron a lesson In Japanese AmerIcan language and sensl­blllty. "They're not Japs. They're Japanese Americans. NlscJ. Or as they prefer to be called. 'Buddaheads'. They call us 'haoles'."

timid and a copout for being the story of Van Johnson's "educatton 1n race relations," In Tajlrl's words. and not the story of the 442nd from the Japanese American point of view.

Tallri also subtly bad­moulhs the movie lor fudg­ing on the conoentratlon camps' Importance to the Ja­pallese American GI's. Tallri, in the April 28, 1957 Issue 01 the PaciJ\c CItizen, once again sets up shop on page " and reporls on the coodlUoo of American pop culture. Be says that the original story Une was "about a Nisei col­lege student In Los Angeles who volunteers for the army on the day after P earl Har­bor and Is turned down. His bllter reaotion to prejudice Is Intensilled by the mass evac-uation and by detention in a relocation camp. This original Idea later was revised to the story line whlch Is pr .. ented In Go F01" Broke! and which does not have any scenes of a war relocation camp for Japanese Amerlcans_ It may be that the original Idea was 100 unwleldly and lessened the telling of the story about the 442nd.
