War Not Over Yet
For This Old Boy
HONOLULU, UP) — A Japanese
farmer, indicted on a charge of
violating the immigration law,
says Japan won World War II
“and you can’t make me believe
otherwise.”
The farmer, Kametoku Tomei,
64, was accused of refusing to file
an annual alien address report and
the U.S. attorney’s office said he
insisted that Hawaii is part of
Japan.
“Hawaii is a part of Japan,”
Tomei told a reporter yesterday.
“Everything else is a pack of lies.”
Tomei’s children, all born here
and U.S. citizens, left home sev
eral years ago. They were anger
ed and embarrased, said the eld
est son, Shigemichi Tomei.
“We tried everything to explain
the true situation to him,” Shige
michi said. “He wouldn’t believe
us. I even offered him money to
take a trip to Japan to see for
himself, but he refused, saying the
time had not come to visit Japan
yet.”
Asked why U.S. law was in ef
fect if Hawaii is part of Japan,
Tomei replied: “It takes time to
set up a new administration but
the Japanese administration will
come within this year.”
One of Tomei’s sons was
wounded in the Kqrean war, but
the farmer said: “There was no
Korean war. My son probably
was injured in some army man
euvers.”
Rotary-Anns Take Over
The Rotary - Anns were in
charge of the meeting Thursday
noon. Each of them decorated
their husbands with appropriate,
if ludicrous, Easter bonnets.
Mrs. James Walsh, wife of the
Rotary president, acted as chair
lady and found many occasions to'
fine the men for donations to the
piggy bank.
The Easter parade was judged
by competent persons who gave
the prize for the most attractive
bonnet to Jim von der Heydt and
for the most humorous bonnet to
Lawrence Williams.
Guests at the meeting were
Judge Hodge of Nome and Jack
Witchels of Anchorage. Major K.
D. Swisher of Nome Field was
acknowledged as a new member.
Simon Ahkolik, who was in
active service in the Korean war
with the 8th Cavalry Regiment,
writes that he is now stationed
at the U.S. Army training cen
ter at Hokaido, Japan.
