CHICAGO--Two days ago I
had a chat with a fellow

less"chewed the ra_
we began to discuss the recent local news item of a
19,-year - old nisei girl
being denied admission to
a privately on-orated hospital* This nisei lass was
said to hav e b een. cr it I c a 1 -
ly ill ana needed immediate
hospitalization* And when
this news _ of racial discriminatory mov e broke,one

,.-But".    I     told  Joe  of recalling    that     I,   only  two
weeks   ago,     walked by' this
hospital*-   If-    1  knew then
that this     hospital was  to
deny ho sp it al i z at i on to on e
of    my     ancestry,   I    would
have- -taken    a'"good  look"
at    the    building*      .Thus,
someday     1 would  have been
able"-"to    write     a     short"
description of the hospital"
that-breeds racial  discrim--

But Joe casually replied:"

oi you to create any trouble or ill-feeling, these
Japanese Americans are subject to the draft»''They're
all American citizens--and
some Have dost their loved
one lor  the  same   cause.'"
Joe said ..that'most of
the.fellows understood and
knew these facts already,
but there always Ms a danger that some wornan enraged
over the loss of her husband or. son in.the Pacific
might create -a scene, "He
stressed,"that day, workers
.were wondering what a Japanese American'looked like.
