Dear Madam Editor:
I am a Japanese-American, citi
zen of the United States by birth
and a veteran of World war II
Before I entered the service I was
a student at the University of Ne
braska for three and a half years
I volunteered for the army and
was inducted at Omaha, Neb. I
received my training at Camp
Wolters, Tex., and at the Military
Intelligence Language School,
Camp Savage, Minn. Then I was
sent overseas as a member of lan
guage personnel to the Pacific
area to fight our common enemy,
the Japanese. I served in Aus
tralia, New Guinea, and the Phil
ippines with the following outfits:
GHQ AFWESPAC, X Corps, 24th
and the 31st Divisions. As a mem-.
ber of the language personnel, the
type of work I did was interroga
tion of prisoners, and translation
of documents, which amounted to
this: Seeking enemy information
so that victory would be ours in
a shorter time.
I received my discharge in Ha
waii, and returned to Lincoln,
Neb., to resume my education. I
may add that I was happy to re
turn to the city, happy because I
found that the people of Lincoln
consider me no other than an
American.
However, today I was disillu
sioned; I was living in an unreal
world, without realizing that there
are un-American practices here in
the city. May I bring to your at
tention the experience "which I
had today. Three other fellows
(Nebraskan, Korean-American,
Japanese-American) and I en
tered a certain cafe in Lincoln to
have dinner. We sat at a booth
for 20 minutes and waited to have
our orders taken. But because we
were not waited on, we wondered
if we were sitting at the wrong
place. One of our party got up'
and - asked politely if we could
have our orders taken. The wait
ress replied, "Not with the com
pany you got with you." Wishing
to cause no disturbance we left
I have never before encountered
an experience such as this; and I
was caught unaware. But later, I
began to think perhaps if I went
back wearing my Eisenhower
jacket they might serve us. We
returned to the cafe. They refused
to serve me, and then I was lit
erally pushed out of the place
"You're not a white man, but a
rat," and employee told me. My
Nebraska friend intervened and
asked him, "Do you consider your
self superior to me, also?" The
employee retorted, "You're not a
white man either, but a rat run
nin' around with a rat, and I don't
want either one of you to come
back in again." They don t need
to worry; we won t.
Lincoln is known for its pro
gressive Americanism, and it is
deplorable, indeed, to have such
situations as this mar its record.
Sincerely yours,
MIKE UEOKA.

SAVED BY A FACE.
Maureen O'Sullivan, who stars
opposite Ray Milland in Para
mount's "The Big Clock," won
her first screen contract without
even the formality of a test.
GI students intending to study
law can fairly accurately deter
mine their chance for success by
analyzing (1) their pre-lagal col
lege grade; (2) subjects studied
during this period; (3) legal ap
titude tests; and (4) their choice
of law school.
These conclusions are derived
from recently published research
findings compiled by the Veterans
administration for vocational aa
vising.
Studies conducted at Columbia
University, Michigan and the Uni
versity of Chicago disclosed that
pre-legal college averages were
more valuable in forecasting po
tential failures than in predict
ing degrees of success in law
college.
Marked relationship between
undergraduate training in social
sciences and law school achieve
ment was noted by the VA re
port. "The social science record
of an individual has its greatest
predictive value when it is used
to forecast the student's law
school performance at the same
institution where the collegiate
course was taken."
General scholastic aptiutde tests
and the length of pre-legaltrain-iYig
courses are not reliable in
predicting passing work in law
school.
The research which formed the
basis of the VA report has been
reported in a number of legal and
educational journals, including the
Illinois Law Review, the South
ern California Law Review,
American Law School Review, the
Bar Exanminer, the Yale Law
Journal, Psychological Bulletin,
Columbia University Bulletin of
Information, and others.
The average age of veterans
going to school under the G. I.
bill of rights was 25 years, but
advanced years and war exper
ience are no bars to outstanding
scholastic records, a recent VA re
port states.
To be eligible for education and
training a veteran must have had
at least 90 days of active military
serivec with a discharge other
than dishonorable, or less than
90 days only if his discharge was
for a service-connected disability.
Part or all of his service must
have been on or after September
1940.
As it stands, the G. I. bill
grants eligible veterans education
for a period of one calendar year,
plus a month for every month
of active service between Sep
tember 16, 1940 and the official
termination of the war, up to
a maximum of 48 months.
creases the security you have to
offer for a loan by the amount of
the guaranty; it tends to induce
the lender to lend more nearly the
full purchase price of the prop
erty and to give you a better rate
of interest, and finally 4 percent
of the amount guaranteed is paid
to the lender by VA and is an
outright gift to you.
Q. My wife and I plan to pur
chase a $9,000 home. We are both
World war II veterans. Can we
acquire the property jointly and
so increase the amount which may
be guaranteed?
A. Yes, you may acquire the
property jointly, but the maxi
mum guaranty may not exceed 50
percent of the loan.
Q. I have a G. I. loan on my
home and would like to know if I
can have the loan extended?
A. Yes, you can have the loan
extended if the lender is willing to
give you more time, but the ex
tension must provide for complete
payment of the loan within the
25-year maximum period provid
ed by law.
