The Nisei veterans reunion coincided with the opening of the exhibit, which will be on display for a year at the museum. There are photographs of the notices posted all over the West Coast in the days after Pearl Harbor ordering all to prepare for the Japanese-American- s evacuation, and photos of families being herded onto buses and trains with the few possessions the 110,000 evacuees were permitted to take with them. The exhibits show Nisei (second generation) Japanese landing at Salerno, Anzio and Livorno, and battling at Bruyeres and Biffontaine, one of the most heroic chapters of World War II in which they rescued a lost battalion of Texas soldiers. In doing so, the Nisei warriors lost more men than Texans they saved. Memories flooded Miyamuras mind, as they did all Nisei veterans and their families viewing the exhibit. In one display case is the Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to Pfc. Sadao Munemori, who saved the lives of two men at the cost of his own on the battlefield in Italy. Miyamura was given the nation's highest award during the Korean War. When Chinese soldiers overran his he ordered his 16 men to fall back while he covered for them and killed several of the enemy soldiers. Miyamura was funded by a grenade but none of his men were lost. He is to be grand marshal of the annual Nisei Week Parade Sunday in Little Tokyo.

Damn Yankees clubs are sprouting up in Texas. J It was the idea of Irene Konig, who .was born and raised in the South Bronx 'section of New York City, just three blocks from Yankee Stadium. She said 1 i I ana went into culture shock. I thought Id like to start a club for Yankees," she said. The Damn Yankees got together for the first time on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, where Ms. Konig was a student. The very first meeting was like heaven, she said. It was joyous. Now statewide interest is growing in clubs that unite people of backgrounds, she said. Missing New York is more than just adjusting to a slower pace, southern drawls and people who wait for walk signs at intersections, Ms. Konig says. Sentiments Northerners also have to endure sentiments. I thought Id meet some people from up North who wouldnt hate me just because Im a Yankee, said former Michigan resident Kathleen Mengot, who moved to Texas last summer and joined the Dallas chapter of Damn Yankees. Mrs. Mengot, 22, says she remembers pulling into gas stations with her license plates and being told, Yankee go home. Ms. Konig expanded her Damn Yankees club last year by opening the Dallas chapter, which now has almost 40 members. Membership is open to anyone from a state other than Texas and to Texans who are friends of Yankees. Yearly dues are $10. Give Up Heritage There are many Yankees who blend in very well in Texas, Ms. Konig said, but not all Yankees mix that well. We have a number of members who have lived in Texas quite a while, but they also spent a lot of years in the North. They dont want to give up all their heritage. Later this month, a fourth annual reunion for people who hail from Michigan is expected to draw about 500 people. And the New York Circle, a club for expatriate New Yorkers, started last year and has 100 people on its mailing list. Im not interested in getting people wishing they were back in New York, said New York Circle organizer Jeanette Vota. Thats not the point. The point is to help people get more acclimated to Dallas and to make the transition. : British Columbia Four Boy Scouts and two of their leaders from eastern Washington REVEISTOKE, (AP) drowned while on a canoe outing across lLake McNaughton in the Canadian Rockies, authorities said Saturday. The six were part of a group of 29 J .Scouts and leaders from two Spokane County troops that left Beavermouth on Ithe east end of Lake McNaughton last Monday, said Constable Dan Ilowitch of . the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Revelstoke. ' The boys were traveling in five ! patrols and planned to camp along the ;lake each night, Ilowitch said. "They 'had been organizing the outing for ; about six months. Found Canoe ; ; But when one patrol reached Mica Creek about noon Friday, leaders reported finding one of the canoes overturned and empty near Sullivan ! Arm, about 35 miles away on the lakes north shore, he said. ' An air search Friday afternoon .turned up a second abandoned canoe and then six bodies. Lake McNaughton ' is located near Banff National Park and Lake Louise, popular, picturesque tourist attractions. two Searchers found six males leaders and four Scouts floating in the water with life jackets on near I.owitch said. ; Sullivan Arm, Dead on Arrival Pronounced dead on arrival at Queen ; Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke were ; David Allen Fair, 41, of Elk, Wash.; Rickey Dale Taylor, 29, of Newport, Wash.; Gary Merritt, 13, of Chattaroy, Wash.; Derek Samuel Maxfield, 13, Chattaroy; Gregory Relden Whittle, 13, Chattaroy; and Nathan Jerome Peter-- ; son, 13, Elk. Ilowitch said no other patrols saw the drownings, leaving rescuers with no known cause for the accident. But weather may have swamped the boats, he said. High Winds The only thing 1 can say is that there (were fairly high winds on the lake this week and we can only assume that the canoes overturned," he reported. ' All the other Scouts made it to Mica ; Creek safely on Friday, the constable said. I dont have many details on the actual outing except that it was a basic Boy Scout rrip, Ilowitch said. They from east to west ; were just traveling across the lake and had been on other canoe trips in the past. The coroner in Revelstoke is inves- tigating the accident and will issue a report on the cause of death, Ilowitch said. By David L.

Clark, who walked past about three dozen protesters of U.S. policy in El Salvador to speak to the American Bar Association convention, took issue with those who demand absolute utopianism in El Salvador, Turkey and other countries accused of suppressing individual liberties.

The war has been over 37 years, yet many of these men get together in small groups once a month, year in, year out. There were 200 men in each company. Only the Nisei have veterans clubs made up exclusively of men who served in a unit as small as a company. There were so many casualties. Almost every one of us in battle were wounded.

Armed with munitions and $70,000 in cash, they were sent by Adolf Hitler in a plot to destroy American industrial plants, disrupt transportation centers, and wreak general havoc. A week earlier, in June 1942, a landing party of four others had slipped ashore near Amagansett on Long Island, N.Y., as part of the invasion called Operation Pastorius. - brush-covere- two-prong- German Confessed Turkeys state radio said the one act of sabotage was Before a terrorist was wounded in the terminal carried out, single one of the Germans backed the into two others ran and that down and confessed the plot to the FBI. cafeteria, taking 20 hostages.

Second in the group was Herbert Hans Haupt, 22, a naturalized citizen from Chicago who worked as an opticians apprentice. Another was Werner Thiel, 35, a Detroit toolmaker who was active in the German-America- n Bund. The fourth was Herman Neubauer, 32, a hotel worker in Hartford, Conn., and Chicago. Sabotage School Both groups attended a sabotage school at Quentz Lake near Berlin, where they learned how to blow up bridges, railroad and power lines, and to use explosives and incendiary devices. On June 17, a week after the New York landing, the submarine carrying Kerlings team dropped them off two miles south of Ponte Vedra Beach on the northeastern Florida coast. City and Chicago. On Aug. 8, 1942, six were executed in Washington. Two others who testified Trap Bursting Fire Island near New York City, Dr. Samir Guirgis of the Suffolk County Health Department went out to check an insect trap one morning last week, expecting to find the usual 10 to 20 mosquitoes, the normal catch for a summers night. He counted 85,000. Guirgis said his telephone lines have been jammed all week with citizens seeking relief and officials cant keep up with the bugs. New Jersey officials already hava sprayed three times as much territory as they did all of last year and they are worried that the money for aerial spraying is running out. The last few years have been so dry, its hard to compare this year in a larger perspective, said Mike Loving, an entomologist who works for the state of South Carolina. People may be perceiving it as terrible because they dont remember it being this bad. , Heavy Rains George Alexander, supervisor of mosquito control in Orange County in Central Florida, said especially heavy rains on the heels of three dry summers made this season about three times worse than last year in a state where mosquitoes are always a problem. While no cases of encephalitis have been reported in the Northeast, thousands of birds, at least 59 horses and two people have died in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida where Eastern equine encephalitis, one of the various strains of the disease, is reaching epidemic proportions, health officials say. The disease, an inflammation of the brain wtych is rare in humans, originates in several species of birds known as reservoir birds. Mosquitoes spread the disease by biting infected birds and then biting other birds, or horses, or humans. Symptoms in humans range from headache and fever, to loss of memory and sometimes seizures although some infected people may show no symptoms. The worst year for equine encephalitis in Florida was 1962.

No information was given on the dead terrorist. It was not clear how the terrorists reached the passenger lounge, foiling strict security precautions. One report said they had arrived aboard a Lufthansa Airlines flight but Anatolia said they were believed to have arrived by land from elsewhere in Turkey. Anatolia quoted a witness as saying one of the terrorists harangued the cafeteria hostages about the Secret Army and demanded recognition of an Armenian state in eastern Turkey, .bout 30,000 Armenians live in Turkey. In its telephone call to the APs Beirut office, the Secret Army said the operation was staged by martyr Kharmian Hayrik Suicide Squad." Hayrik was not further identified. The Secret Army is one of four Armenian terrorist groups responsible for the slayings abroad of 22 Turkish officials or members of their families and staffs since 1973. Four of those attacks occurred in the United States. Half an hour after the telephone call, a Secret Army communique delivered to the AP office in Beirut threatened violent strikes in Europe and the United States if 85 Armenian prisoners were not released from prisons in America, Canada, France, England, Switzerland and Sweden within seven days. e The photocopied communique, which was typed in English, said the responsibility for the innocent victims of the Ankara airport attack was on the shoulders of the enemies of peaceful peoples: the Turkish fascist government, the North Atlantic Alliance and the United States.
