GOVERNOR VETOES SENATE BILL NO. 5 Senate Bill No. '5, a copy of the California law, was passed by the Legislature on assumption that it would prevent Japanese aliens from acquiring real property or leaseholds. Upon passage Senate Bill No. 5 reached the Governor's office. Sugar Sug-ar processors, canners, farm bureau bu-reau officials, and others, believed that it would prohibit aliens ineligible ineli-gible for citizenship from farming on shares or even working on farms. This also was the purported view of the United States District Attorney's office. Governor Maw vetoed the bill. Senator Alonzo F. Hopkin, sponsor spon-sor of Senate Bill No. 5, felt that the veto message gave the bill too broad an interpretation. He asserted assert-ed that the attorneys, members of the Senate andor connected with the Senate, agreed that it prohib-(Contlnued prohib-(Contlnued on page eight) BILL VETOED,..

He attacked the inference in the veto message that the bill would hit our Allies Chinese and Filipinos. The Filipinos, he said, are under United Unit-ed States protectorate. The bill, therefore, could not affect them. The Chinese would continue to enjoy en-joy all the rights and privileges provided for by treaties between our country and China, Senator Huggins said.
