PUKA SQUARES A LESSON LEARNED. We were not aware of it at the time that it happened. Left Cornerback Fred Williamson of the Kansas City Chiefs was out cold and the game was stopped for about five minutes while the trainers tried to revive Williamson.

It happened with three minutes left to play. The Green Bay Packers were in the lead 35-10 in the Super Bowl game. With the two guards and two backs leading the way for Halfback Donny Anderson, the play started as a wide sweep around right end. But it was a play designed not for yardage but for one special target - Williamson.

As anticipated, Williamson quickly moved up from his left cornerback position to try to crimp the right end sweep of the Packers. When the play was over, there was Williamson, out super-cold, on the turf of the Los Angeles Coliseum .

It was Williamson who had boasted of his prowess as the toughest defensive back in pro football; he who had boasted that he would Stop the Packer ends with his self - styled judo chop .

We would like to watch a re-run of the Super Bowl game specifically to keep an eye out for this parti ­cular play. Not that we are vicious, or mean, or enjoy seeing others flat on their backs. 'Tis only because a well played-out lesson in life is not too common, and, in this particular case, the lesson as applied was a thing of beauty. So precise was the execution of the play that an infraction was not even called against the Packers I

A STORY WITHOUT ENDING. At the r a te tha t the contr6versy rages on, the circumstances surrounding the death of President Kennedy will keep on firing the imagination of writers for the next hundred years, or more.

Currently, Look magazine's serialization of William Manchester's "Death of A President" is drawing un­told millions of people into the drama of the assass i­nation. As the multitude savors the fascination of the dastardly act, and its political by-play, they will clamor for more details and lean upon each word in the judgment of historians.

In the hassle between Manchester and the Kennedys, we have empathy for Manchester when he states that the whole controversy generated by Jackie Kennedy could have been avoided if the PreSident's widow had only taken the time to personally read the draft of his book. Now, Manchester's book which was supposed to close the chapter on PreSident Kennedy's death has only served to flood the country with a new ware of conjectures and doubts, and make all of us relive that day of November 22, 1963.

Walter Moriguchi - Able Chapter James Inafuku - Baker Chapter Seishiro Nakagawa - Charlie Chapter Katsumi Nakayama - Dog Chapter Richard Hamada - Hq Chapter Tomio Sunahara - Rural Chapter Motoyoshi Tanaka - Hawaii Chapter Kent Nakamura - Medics Chapter

Let US all get together on the 25th of Februaryatl Ala Moana Banquet Hall to greet our new office They will appreciate your full support, especially this critical year of our 25th anniversary.

CHAPLAIN HIRO HIGUCHI. Chaplain Higuchi t many a story to tell and one of the best concerns wife Hisako. He has been calling her, and r eferr to her, as Mama. One day, a friend asked the g Chaplain for the name of his wife. Try as he wo Chaplain Higuchi couldn't remember his wife's na' "Mama" is all he could rememberl

Ane we recall a recent incident where the subjecr discussion was Emperor Hirohito. In his discuss the point was made that Chaplain Higuchi's firstn.. Hiro was a contraction of the name Hirohito.

To which one of the haole officers in the cir clee pressed amazement because he h3.d been under assumption that Chaplain Higuchi's first name r ela ted to his deeds in combat - only to discover that what he was assumed to be Hero was in rel.

a common Japanese name Hirol What's in a nar Most anythingl --

We hope that you will turn out in force on Satur February 11, when the members of the 442nd \ Club and the Club 100 get together at the Ft. Sha. Officers' Club to honor Chaplain Hiro Higuchi L

his retirement from military service. Should be an affair .

EDITO RIAL 73 billion dollars should buy US a Ie defense, this sum being PreSident Johnson 's pr tag for military expenditures in his FY 68 bu:, The total budget comes to 135 billion doll Whether you look at the 73 billion or the 135 '1

they both represent huge outlays of the national source. Our editorial makes an attempt to the lesser of the two figures. In looking at billion figure, we weave the words of writer

Steinbeck to tell us the story. Steinbeck says that the oresence of our troops in South Vietnam is "the fluid wall that can melt the hungry imperialist pressure from the north and west which is called communism."

The United States has about 400 thousand troops in Vietnam. Who would have imagined, a few years ago, that today we would have this number of American troops fighting on Asian soil.

CLUB 100 EUROPEAN TOUR The Club 100 European tour is on for this summer. We have had over six months to really think it over and make decisions.

About this time, we · should really be planning our mainland itinery, prior to finalization in a few months.

BAKER Ho hum! As expected; no change In the correspondent for this chore of writing the B as in BAKA chapter newS. So you'll have to grin & bear with me for an­other year !

Happy Noo Year - since It's still the first month of New 1967 - What It has In store - Only time will tell _ But we can plan -

And while you are thinking and planning, let me break up this trend of thought and write about something else • first. December - January months have seen the paSSing away to the Great Divide, the father of Yutaka Namba as well as Hiroshi Shimazu's mother. Our deepes; condolences to these Bakerites on their irreparable losses - May they rest In peacel

Before I pass along from obituaries to something else though - I mayor may not have made mention in thi s column before, (if I have, please pardon as a man grown old) but I think I forgot to pay last tribute to Mickey Nakahara who passed through the pearly gates in November, 1966. I am sure he will now have turned contentedly in his final resting place for having been officially recorded in Baker Chapter news. Rest in Peace . '

And where were we - oh yes - talking about planning for the coming year. From first hand information new prexy JI, Jimmy Inafuku, will be a terrific ball oi fire. No ,ooner he gets elected - then he calls a meeting at his new home in Nuuanu Pall - and have the committzes all lined up - besides making changes in the gral ,,,,vine as needed. That's organization of the first order. Of course, the hospitality was out of -his world as RN, SN , RT, & Kl would vouch for it.

[he first genera l membership meeting was almost (:nding, HK had the floor and had just asked the mem­Jers for their opinion - on choosing between working at the 50th State Fair corn booth or having a smoked chicken benefit, when in walked 00 with a bundle In nis hands. Time was only 8:35 p. m.

[he hastily passed out sheets outlined the smoked :hicken benefit for March. As YH remarked to HK 'under his breath" - "you asked us for an opinion -

Jut we never had a c hance to open our mouths" . "hat's the way your Ways & Means Committee is supposed to operate, right? Rightl

I was asked to sign a paper by Stanley Nakamoto be­fore I could even go get me a cup of coffee. So I sign­ed and asked questions later.

YY has been hard at work, for a change, and had the New Year Stag parry a ll lined up.

Date: Saturday, February 11 , 1967 Time: 6:30 Dinner - 5 on cocktails Enterrainment - You name it. Call and make your reservations - Pronto.

This meeting smoked out approximately 40 members and you know what, we did have a niJikail

After the Bridge game ended and after the Prexy cleaned up the snack counter et cetera, a whole, mob - 10 of us reconvened for E & T (eaHng & talking) at Sekiyas until the early morning of Saturday.

But the strange twist to this gathering was that the tab was picked up by RN not the Prexy???

A great beginning· nonetheless because Oyabun 0 ~ there I Maybe, we will see more of him this year be­cause he has an able chauffeur KI. What a combina­tion.

Sayonara for now, 00

EDITORIAL $73 BILLION FOR DEFENSE President Johnson's budget for the upcoming fiscal year beginning 1 July totals 135 billion dollars. Of this amount, the price tag on the cost of de ­fense is 73 billion dollars.

This means that 54 cents of every bUdget dollar is the price we have to pay to maintain our military posture. What are we getting for our money?

Obviously, the answer to a 73 billion dollar question has got to be a complex one, Having asked the question, we will look at it from only one particular view p01nt. For thiS, we turn to that distinguished American writer, John Steinbeck.

Currently, Steinbeck is in Vietnam and his dispatches from the war front ap ­pear in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin under the banner "Letters from Steinbeck ." We will use the "letter" published in the J anuary 23rd issue of the Bulletin for the purpose of our answer.

In this particular letter, Steinbeck speaks of the U.S. troops in Vietnam -the soldier and the marine. He speaks from expeLence for he ha s known these troops intimately from his association with them in past wars. Stein ­beck says that fighting in Vietnam is a new breed of cat; a new breed arising from the fact that the training is diff"ro .. t because the basic elements are different: a different enemy and a differc- ,t mission.

Let's talk about missions . Steinbeck saYE 'hat" For the first time in history, an army has undertaken a two fold missic. , - to defeat the enemy and by help, instruction and example to give a hard "ressed defeated and often double­crossed people, the courage, the pride, tne econom} and the ability to defend themselves. That this has been spearheaded by the army, backed up by civi­lian agencies is the new thing, the hopei"l thing and the only thing that can possibly succeed,"

He goes on to say: "Sun Tzu, who wrote u' I,he Art of War, nearly three thou­sand years ago, has this wise and perm' nent thing to say - There are three military objectives and in the following .mponance - the mind', the land and the economy . If one wins the mind, th:! other two will fall without a fight . After failure of war that we know of si .ce recorded history we are at last beginning to learn that the techniques of peace must be not only an extension but an integral pan of war."

Steinbeck speaks very highly and very admiringly of the caliber of our troops in Vietnam. He is in the process of getting intimately bound up with the troops who are s'!uashing their way through the marshlands of South Vietnam. Steinbeck's son is fighting in the war down there. He says that Bill Mauldin or Norman Mailer wouldn't recognize the new American breed of cat fighting in the jungles and the marsh on the tip of the Asian continent.

"This new army does not sit on a line endlessly. This is a war of movement, of advance and retirement as shifting and feinting as a good boxer. When you come to think of it, this is the first kind of warfare Americans ever knew. We learned it from the Indians and used it successfully in the war for our freedom. It would be s trange if we could not relearn wbat every front iers­man once knew."

This certainly is a new kind of war and the Army has risen up to :he chal­lenge. It was not too many years ago that the Army was floundering because of the then prevailing national policy of massive retaliation • .under the come­from-behind leadership and push of General Maxwell Taylor, the Army re­bounded, just in time to be able to fight the Vietnam war.

Of the new breed of cat, Steinbeck has this to say. "In this drifting phantaFm of a war, we have found that the indiVidual and his judgement and his initiative are not only valuable but essential. The day of the big battalions is over,

perhaps forever. Thl ; n and self suffiCient to a !II al whole. Leadership 8llii f

HA'WAII The new officers for the year 1967 were installed at an installation banquet on Saturday night, January 28, at the Seven Seas. Those installed were Motoyoshi Tanaka, presldent; Kazunobu Yamamoto, vice-presi­dent; Kats Kutsunai, secretary; Tarush Yamamoto, treasurer; and Larry Hirokawa, director.

MEET YOUR NEW HAWAII CHAPTER PREXY

This writer has had the privilege of knowing MOTO­YOSHI TANAKA, new Hawaii Chapter president from his seventh grade year at intermediate school. In fact, we graduated from Hilo High School in 1937 and received the call from PreSident Roosevelt a~ members of the third draft in June, 1941, to congre­gate at Schofield Barracks. Motoyoshi is a quiet per­son, who speaks softly, go about doing somebody a good turn, and a hard worker . He was a member of Dog Company in the machine gun platoon. Moto grew ~p in Shinmachi (new town), a part of Hilo no longer In eXIStence. The Tanakas lost their parents and their entire household during the 1946 tidal wave.

Our new presidE:nt has been witl: the Hilo Division of Honolulu Gas for the past 29 years as a member of the maintenance department. The Tanaka family com­prise of his wife Shizue, a son 12, and two girls 14 and 9. They reside at 61 Maikai Street, in Hilo.

MAHALO ,FROM LARRY HIROKAWA

Outgoing Hawaii Chapter prexy extend sincere thanks and appreciation to the members of the board of di­rectors and members for the splendid assistance and cooperation during 1966, for a good Puka Puka year .

Our thanks to Larry and his family for their contri­bution to Club lOOth.

FOR CONTINUED SERVICE

During 1967, the former members of the lOOth In­fantry Battalion w1ll be celebrating their 25th an­niversary. Today, most the men who were part of the great organization are middle aged men. Today, as members of Club lOOTH, we should ask ourselves: Are we on the right track? Where are we going from here?

I believe that the time has come for the Club lOOth like any business organization or other organization to take a good look at itself. Things like its program, its members and family, its relationship to the com­munity. We should a~k ourselves: How have we made out to date? Are we carrying out responsibilities as called for by our motto: "For Continued Service"? What impact are we making as a club and club mem­bers within the growing communities? Is the board of directors of the club challenging the membership for growth?

This writer suggests that the new board of dlrectors appoint about six or seven crash committees to do some brain storming. Each group should Gomprise of different types of men: businessmen, professional men, educators, white and blue color workers and

MEDICINE CHEST .. From the Medicine Chest" was lost in the Christ ­mas mail and turned up at the Clubhouse after the December issue deadline. It is being printed in this issue. A new Medics correspondent, Albert Yoko­yama, is taking over. Kent Nakamura is president of Medics Chapter for 1967.

************

The other month, just before those hours labelled "happy" by barkeeps and such, I was minding my own bUSiness, downing a few at one of the little-Tokyo, little-Seoul water-holes along the boulevard, Kapio­lani that is.

There wasn't much to look at behind the hardwood counters; so, every now and then, my line of sight wandered out to the fast-thickening stream of traffic.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rubber gripping as­phalt, and a wondrous Sight came into being. Our es­teemed Chicken emerged into view, grinning about I didn't know what.

I've seen him lick his chops just standing in the chow line, just before opening up a cold can of hash, just before digging into a heaped-up Christmas plate, and just about any time between one meal and another provided he was in the messhall area. Never before

had I seen him in such a state before tippling. With him, I figured that it wa_s a matter of his acquiring more likes.

Of course, I had to hall him, and a number of brews followed. In between his working the chopsticks and pouring malted water down his guzzling throat, I was able to learn that he was still hacking.

Then, we talked of many things: a fellow named Joe, M.P.'s, the party at his Wahiawa home when his greet ­ing was "nobody's sleeping here tonight", our Hatties­burg date which was real blind-blind because we couldn't see the girls . In fact, there were no girls at all because the, whoever they were, had given Chicken a phony address.

Before the time of parting, he spoke of doing pretty good, which all means that dialogue between him a fare would alternate somewhat as follows:

"Where to, lady?"

"Ala Moana, the shopping center.'

"Okay, lady. Nice day isn't it? By the way, do you want to buy some drapes?"

"Whatcha say?"

"I said' Do you want to buy some drapes?'"

"That's what I thought I heard. Whaddaya ask me this for? You a cab driver or what? Eh, you have a cab license ••• yeah, yeah, I heard you, but you have li ­cense for selling drapes too? JUSt gimme the ride. Don't need no drapes."

"I only figured on saving you some time in case you needed some drapes. Cheap too. Maybe a small rug? How about a rug."

"No, no, no. JUSt lemme off at the shopping center I That's all, just the ride from you."

"Okay, lady, okay, no reason to get mad. Don't for ­get, lady, ask for Chicken the next time you want a taxi. Maybe next time, I can show you my drapes and rugs. Good-bye, lady."

Enticed to the Hatakenakas' steamed fish dinner a few Sundays back were the Shigeru Inouyes, the Etsuru Katanos, the Masaichi Gotos, the Henry Nakasones , the Rufus Nomuras, and Albert and Jerene Yokoyama.

The affair was occasioned by the clOSing of the mullet season, inquiries about the next serving of the suc­culent dish by some chapter members, the need to display what bounties the sea has for experts, and, perhaps, the mainland visit of Mrs. Yokoyama. Al­bert could have had a hankering for cooking other than his own and could have influenced Roy.

Everyone had his fill of those delectable finned ones and had to agree that next season would be soon enough for the next fish dinner.

Happy New Year from the Medics - happier than the previous ones.

Green Thumbs The Green Thumbs held their first meeting of the year presided by President Roy Nakayama. His able assistants are Kazuto Shimizu, Vice President; Ma­sasuke Toma, Treasurer; and Mrs. Edna Sakamoto, Secretary.

The first new business on the president's agenda was the programming of events for the year. Roy pro­mises interesting guest speakers, color slides pre­sentation of a ward winning flowers, field trips and many nights of repotting orchid seedlings. Robert Aoki has purchased many community pots of seedlings and they all must be repotted.

This Club has a good representation from the various chapters in Club 100. We have between 20 to 30 mem­bers present on meeting nights. The hobby of raising orchids is a pleasant way of relaxing from the ever demanding dally grind.

We want new members to share our hobby and all it requires is a five dollar initiation fee and annual dues payment of one dollar. If you have been a member previously, a payment of the current annual dues qual­ify you. Your initial cost outlay is small compared to the number of orchid seedlings you take home on meeting nights, which are held on the first Monday of each month.

The Green Thumbs' members have reserved two ta­bles for the annual installation dinner of the Honolulu Orchid Society to be held at the Hawaiian Village Long House on February 3. Hope we members are lucky enough to be able to win a few of the terrific door prizes.

Los Angeles New Year's Greetings from Southern California I

At its last meeting of the year on December 21, at­tended by Eric Y. Abe (D), Chick H. Furuye (B), Joe Y. Hironaka (C), Tom T . Kasal (B),SatNakamura (B), Lloyd Seki (0), Douglas Tanaka (B) and Ken Yoshino (B), the 100th Battalion held its election for 1967 with the following results:

President, Chick H. Furuye; Vice President, Joe Y. Hironaka; Recording Secretary, Lloyd Seki, Trea­surer, Dougl~s Tanaka and Delegate to the 442nd Vet­erans Association Board, Eric Y. Abe.

With the start of this New Year, let's have a bigger turnout at our meetings. Our meetings are usually held on the third Wednesday of the month at the 442nd Memorial Hall. During summer, when the A Battery­lOOth Dance Class is not in session, we meet on the third Friday of the month.

Joining the 442nd Association members at the gala New Year's Eve party at the 442nd Memorial Hall were these 100th members: Eric and Irene Abe Lou Furushiro (down from Sacramento) and Kay N'ishi­hara; Chick and Matsu Furuye, Sab Matsumoto and Sat Nakamura and a friend. Considering the limita­tions of the Club House, it was a grand affair with excellent turnout and we congratulate Fox and Item Companies for sponsoring the event .

Those who purchased or ordered the 100-~42nd Di­rectory should now be in possession of their copies. On November 30, 1,400 copies were delivered to the POSt office and on December 13, a batch of a couple hundred was sent out.

Following publicity of the directory in the Puka Puka Parade (March, April and May issues), 353 veterans of the lOOth in Hawaii, sent in their registration cards. Not included in the aforementioned figure are those lOOth veterans on Ha waii, Kauai and Maui who regis­tered "as a result of their affiliations with the H2nd Clubs of their respective islands. This line of de­marcation is made to insure proper credit for re­bates due the different veterans clubs.

As far as Club 100 is concerned, of the 353 regiS­trants, 233 purchased copies of the directory, which means that, at a dollar rebate for each buyer, Club 100 will be paid $233.

The matter of rebate was considered long ago by the Directory Committee of the 442nd Veterans Associa­tion of Southern California to give veterans organi­zations a break in getting their money back for expenses incurred, such as postage, stationery, etc., in the course of contacting veterans for registering for the directory. In this regard, Club 100 probably did not -incur any expense, as all postage, mailing materials, etc., on and in the 1,480 envelopes pre­pared by me for Club 100 to address, seal and mail, were prepaid by the Directory Committee. In a month or two, perhaps, we will mail a check for $233 to Club 100.

The 442nd Clubs of Hawaii (Hila), of which my good fne~d Sus Nakagawa, of Charlie Company, is the im­medlate past presldenJ, Kauai and Maui will likewise be taken care of. Edward K. Watase, Jr. (Able Com­pany), was instrumental in having the vets on Oki­nawa participate in the directory project.

The Maui Chapter of Club 100 was the only 100th or­ganization to furnish me with a roster. Although I got assurances from Larry Hirakawa for a list of those Hila boys, I never received it. What happened, buddy?

Many comments on the directory have been received --all favorablel The unfavorable ones may come in later, like a delayed-action time bomb. Some liked the cover. It was designed by Art YOShimura, of A Battery of the 522nd F.A., who is with the art staff of Douglas Aircraft.

My opinion of the directory is: A fair attempt. There are many errors--alphabetizing was poorly done in the index as Sam Sakamoto, for one, will have found out. Our Club House does not have a girl-Friday and the fact that the real hard workers on the Directory Committee live in scattered areas as Culver City, Gardena, Long Beach, Montebello, Norwalk and Whit­tier, did nOt make our work easier. Only two mem­bers, Nori Sekino of George Company and I, repre­senting the 100th, live in Central L.A. We lacked coordination.

The Directory Committee members didn't see eye­to-eye on many matters. I wanted the officers only to be listed with their ranks, but was over-ruled. Also lost out when I attempted to place asterisks after the names of the two Congressional Medal of Honor winners, both lOOth men, with footnotes at the bottom of the page, and also with regard to Francis S. Takemoto.

However, this much is confessed: To Francis S. Ta­kemoto's occupation, I added .. Brigadier General, 29th Selective Reserve Force" (abbreviated by the varitypist); to Justice Jack H. Mizuha's occupation, I changed "attorney at law" to "Supreme Court Jus­tice;" to Robert S. Taira's, I added "State Legisla­tor." These former Dog Company officers are too modest, so I brightened up the directory.

In the event that there are those who did not purchase their copy of the directory and now wish to do so, JUSt write to the lOOth-442nd Directory Committee, 1438 Oak Street, Los Angeles, California 90015, and en­close a check or money order for $3. We have several hundred copies available and they will be sold on the first come, first served basis.

In conclusion, I express my sincere thanks to Club 100, the Puka-Puka Parade and all those lOOth vet­erans who registered for the 100th-442nd Directory.
