Japanese Student Convinced All Americans Not Gangsters
University Daily Kansan
lugging gangsters.
Washington (U.P.)—Kenro Hamano, a meek little Nagasaki, has changed his mind about Americans.
He sure thought we were at first. Kenro is in this country to study at the Foreign Service Educational foundation under the program for trading students with friendly countries.
Speaking in halting, nervous but understandable English, he told me his story:
Having seen a few American movies in Japan, he came here with dark forebodings. He expected to find a gat-man behind every mail box and lamp post.
His boat landed and he got as far as Chicago, where he had to change trains for Raleigh, N.C. He started to board another train and suddenly discovered that his world possessions, which added up to a large suitcase, were missing.
Those gangsters! He called the Chicago cops. They looked high and tall.
"America, she is honest—not like they say in the picture."
loy. No luggage. So without so much a toothbrush or haircomber, he boarded the next one and that was that a countryman, thinking Kenro had missed the train, had loaded his stuff aboard the first train. Now he says:
incidentally, while getting himself acquainted with our customs, Kenro saw a baseball game between Durham and Raleigh. He was amazed.
"The Babe, Ruth," he told me,
"Taught us baseball many years before. In Japan we fight to the last drop-out. Here when a team it gets 10 or so runs behind, it give up."
Kenro was not at Nagasaki when the atom bomb fell. He did a short itch in the Japanese army a little later, though, and wound up a "2nd private," which is supposed to be something a little less than what we in this country call a "yardbird."
The earnest little Japanese fellow is working hard to learn about the American way of life so that he can take some ideas back to his native land. He wants to know about the structure of our government, how a democracy really works—things like that.
are at the school, Kenro is studying international trade and finance. The school he attends in Washington is a source of constant amazement to Kenro.
It is a private, nonprofit organization, which sponsors training in international affairs through the school of advanced international studies. It is a graduate school of the Johns Hopkins university.
He is a little puzzled though by this observation he has made:
Kenro doesn't have much trouble getting along with the other students. For eight years he got a smattering of English in schools back home.
"Why is it that every foreigner who comes to America wants to become a U.S. citizen when few people who go to Japan from this land of the free want to become Japanese citizens?"
Kenro says he's going to continue his studies until he finds the answer.

Claims You, Too Can Be A Genius
New York—(U,P).The famous artist Alexander Archipenko says he has discovered a method for turning any sound-minded person into a genius.
"I know it sounds screwy," Archipenko said in an interview. "People think that genius is a gift of nature that cannot be produced at will. I say it can.
"I have developed the basic tenets of my theory to faculty members of universities in a recent nation-wide lecture tour. I have been working on this subject for the last five years and will present my theory in every detail in my next book called 'Creativity.'
New York Cleaners 926 Mass. Phone 75
"Creativity' is a state of mind. Great works of art have been produced because the artists got into the right state of mind. What is needed is a method that enables us to propel ourselves into such a state of mind. Where to find this method? In nature, of course.
"Nature is the greatest teacher and the most wonderful creator. I am an artist but I am moved much more by what I see in the Museum of Natural History than what I see in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Nature is the original creator."
Virgil Wenger, former Jayhawk tackle from Salina, is back in business school at KU after being struck down by polio last year soon after practice opened in September.
