JEST  PUNISHMENT
¥-EE DOI CASE has been
given wide publicity in
the papers up and down, and
across the nation. The
reaction to this type of
"taking the law into'own
hands" has been severely
critical. For the first-
tine in years the group of
fair-minded, tolerant A-
mericans got a chance to
reallv express themselves
without being looked upon
as   "Jap   lovers."
lour persons who were
implicated in the Placer
county incident have been
roundedup and incarcerated,
and will be charged with
"arson .and attempting to
dynamite a building" on
the Doi ranch. No doubt
they will be punished to
the  full  e  tent   of the law.
NOW, another incident
comes to our attention from
Livingston, Ca1 if., where
it has been reported that
a shot was fired at a building occupied by a family
of returning evacuees ,
Strangely enough the returnees were former residents of this center, as
were  the Dois.
The Livingston case
makes it all the -more Imperative that all those
implicated In the incidents,
no matter how isolated,
are caught and -duly punished. It must be brought
to the attention of those
with vigilantic ideas that
actions closely related to
Ku Klux Elan-ism will not
be tolerated in any shape
or form.
HOUSING SHORTAGE
* MFORTAECG  OF HOUSING to
successful relocation
can be readily seen by the
present critical housing
situation in Los Angeles,
which is said to be the
worst since the city became one of the nation's
top production centers.
Shortage is so acute that
there are now three applicants for each available house listed by the
National Housing Agency
there. But just being a-
moug the three applicants
doesn't get you very far —
in fact,it doesn't get you

Equality of opportunity in the eyes of the University to all students of Japanese ancestry was guaranteed last week by President Robert Gordon Sproul in a
statement to the California Bruin at the Eos Angeles
campus o
Fresident Sproul*s statement said:
"Tho University makes no distinction among students
because Of their race, religion, or nationality. Therefore, persons of Japanese ancestry who have been cleared
by the War Department and other federal authorities and
vino return to California either to begin or to resume
their studies at the University will not be treated
differently from other former students or applicants
for admission-
"Moreover, such persons will be received by the University and by the faculty and student body as well, I
am sure, in a friendly and cooperative manner, for they
will have been certified, in effect, to have proved
themselves free from any blemish or disloyalty even
under the stress of nost discriminatory treatment."

if you wanted'to build a

However, in a smaller
city where war production
boom is relatively low, the
chances of finding a house
are much better, including
belt -,r housing and facilities. It is wiser to find
a house in a smaller city
and mark time for something
desired in a larger city,
than to wait indefinitely
for something to turn up
in places where chances
are  very  slim.
