Workshop to teach CPR technique

By LORI LANDERS
Staff Writer

Ever seen doctors or paramedics
save a life on television by pounding
on the person‘s chest? There‘s a right
way and a wrong way to do it. and
instruction in the procedure. known as
cardio-pulmonary ,resuscitation. will
be offered soon in Lexington.

The Lexington Herald~Leader Co.
and the Lexington Rotary Club are co-
sponsoring CPR training sessions at
the Hyatt Regency Ballroom on
Sunday. Nov. I2.

Dr. Franklin Moosnick. president
of the Kentucky Heart Association
and co-chairrnan of the committee
coordinating the event. said the
sessions will instruct participants in
how to recognize cardiac and
respiratory arrests. how to react to
them. how to check for pulse and
breathing and how to administer
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and
chest compression.

He added that the skills are not just
for heart attack victims. The methods
that will be taught can also be used on
drowning victims. persons with head
injuries who stop breathing. those
struck by lightning or anyone whose
heart has stopped or who has stopped

breathing.

The purpose of CPR is maintaining
breathing and circulation for the
stricken individual until hospital
treatment is available. “This is the kind
of thing everyone should know.”
Moosnick said. He added that if 20
percent of the population could be
trained. it would present fairly good
odds for someone being in the
proximity of a victim in need of help.

Dr. Dennis Kelly, co-chairman of

the event. said he thinks that in four ‘0
five years. this health program will
probably be required by most
industries.

Ckeck-in time for the session. which
is open to all Central Kentucky
residents who are older than l7. will be
8-8zl5 a.m.. Nov. I2. Enrollment will
be limited to 400 persons on a first-
come. first-serve basis. ‘

Interested persons must pre-register
by using a coupon which may be found

in the Lexington Herald or lexingron
Leader. There is a registration fee of
$5. or $8 with lunch included.

Instruction will be provided by
members of the Kentucky Heart
Association. American Red Cross.
and Boone Region Emergency
Medical Service System.

All those completing the course will
receive full certification as a Basic
Rescuer by the American Heart
Association.

Israel plans additional
West Bank settlements

(AP) — A defiant Israeli
government. angered by US.
statements on the Palestinian issue
and trying to cool political dissent at
home. disclosed plans Thursday to
expand its settlements on the West
Bank of the Jordan River. The move
could raise a major new obstacle in the
lsraeliEgyptian peace talks.

Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance
reacted quickly and sharply to the
unexpected Israeli decision. issuing a
statement in Washington saying the
Carter administration was “deeply
disturbed" by the action and calling it
a “very serious“ matter.

The State Depanment said
President Carter sent a personal cable
to Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
Begin on the subject.

In Cairo. meanwhile. Prime
Minister Mustafa Khalil said the
Egyptian government was considering
. recalling its negotiators from the peace
talks in Washington for consultations.

He described the possible recall as
“purely routine" and said it wasnot
related to the Israeli decision on West
Bank settlements. But it might mean
another interruption in the
negotiations. which were scheduled to
resume Friday. And even Israeli
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
acknowledged that expansion of the
settlements “may make it difficult“ to
reach a final agreement with Egypt on
a treaty.

Begin‘s decision to strengthen the
West Bank enclaves could help
appease growing conservative
opposition to Israeli concessions in a
peace pact.

The decision apparently emerged
from the Israeli Cabinet‘s three-day
debate over the Egyptian-lsraeli draft
treaty. Though the meetings were
secret. officials did not deny that Begin
suggested “thickening“ the settlements
to win votes from reluctant Cabinet
ministers for the draft agreement.

Doubts about peace
arise in administration

WASHINGTON (AP) ~ The
Carter administration protested
Israel’s decision to expand its West
Bank settlements yesterday as new
doubts arose about the possibility
of concluding a peace treaty
between Egypt and Israel.

President Carter sent a personal
cable to Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin to convey the
US view of the settlements
decision. State Department
spokesman Hodding Carter said.

The American view. expressed
publicly in a statement by
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance.
was that the expansion of the
settlements was “deeply
disturbing.“

The Israeli Cabinet voted
Wednesday to spend the
equivalent of about SIS million to
build a reservoir and new housing
in existing lsraeli settlements on

the West Bank.

Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
defended the decision as
consistent with Israeli policy and
within Israel‘s rights. Dayan said
Israel agreed at the Camp David
summit only to refrain from
establishing new West Bank
settlements during the current
period of negotiations with Israel.

State Department officials.
speaking privately. said they were
unsure whether Israel actually
intended to put substantial
numbers of new settlers on the
West Bank. or whetherthe decision
was a politically symbolic move to
allay the opposition of conserva-
tive members of Begin‘s Likud
coalition. These persons have
objected to some aspects of the
draft treaty that would end a 30-
year long state of war between
Egypt and Israel.

Hearings on tobacco are disappointing

It’s disappornting that the Senate sub-
committee hearing on tobacco held at UK this
week did nothing bit reiterate the old stubborn
stands of the tobacco industry.

Presided over by Sen. Wenrbll Ford, D-Ky.,
the pand listened to witness after witness tell
how important the tobacco trade was to the
state, how no other crop could replace it, and
how government regulation would destroy
Kentucky’s economy.

Among the villains lambasted at the hearings
were Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and
Joseph Califano, head of HEW. The two were
denounced for daring to ptblicize the health
hazards of cigarettes, and for sponsoring anti-
tobacco legislation.

State officials, tobacco farmers and industry
representatives all stremed the need to fight

such legislation and to resist attempts to tax
cigarettes according to tar and nicotine content.

This circle-thewagons attitude cannot be
ultimately productive. Government efforts
against smoking are getting more and more
support.

Many states lave either passed or are at-
tempting to pass laws that forbid smoking in
public places and working areas, and taxes on
cigarettes based on tar and nicotine levels are a
strong possibility. Television ads for cigarettes
were banned long ago. With each session of
Congress, the “tobacco lobby” loses more clout,
with support increasing for the elimination of
tobacco price supports.

Whether government anti-smoking arguments
are justified or not is a moot point. The im-

not prepare Kentucky for the years to come
when the market starts to decline.

It’s argued that nothing can replace tobacco
rightnowasacasbcrop. Butifthemarket
declines, it’s doubtful that it will still be as
lucrative. Instead of giving a flat insistence that
nothing can replace tobacco, the hearings would
have better served Kentucky’s future by
soliciting suggestions for alternative crops.

According to HEW statistics, smoking con-
triblsed to 220,000 heart disease deaths last year,
78,000 lung cancer deaths and 22,000 deaths from
other cancers. Tobacco growers and marketers
quibble with HEW over the statistics, and
they‘re careful never to admit that smoking is

 

dangrous, but it’s foolish to argue smoking is
not harmful.

The industry is justified in urging that more
money be provided for research into developing
safe cigarettes, a prominent activity at UK. But
pinning the hopes of the tobacco industry on the
dream of safe cigarettes is no justification for
continuing current practices. If safe cigarettes
become a reality, there’s a good clunce the
quality will not be acceptable to smokers.

The tobacco industry is besieged from attacks
on many sides right now, attacks that are so
strong they threaten to bring about the decline of
the indtstry. A sincere interest in the future of
Kentucky’s economy would be to look for other
crops or industry to take tobacco’s place, not to
blindly insist on going down with a ship already
in stormy waters.

Memories aron ’t forgotten

Japenese-Americans request
$3 billion compensation payment
for time in WWII prison camps

By SUSAN AGER

Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCOMP) ~~
It‘s a dingy page in United
States history. left out of most
textbooks. But Japanese-
Americans who spent World
War II behind barbed wire
fences in American
concentration camps insist the
story can't be so easily
forgotten.

To help jog memories. they
are asking Congress for $3
billion to compensate them for
the years they spent in the
desolate camps.

Officials of the
JapaneseAmerican Citizens
League. headquartered here.
say the size of the request is
intended to raise eyebrows —~
and make headlines. They hope
the headlines will tell those who
never knew — and remind
those who have forgotten ~—
that l20.000 people of
Japanese ancestry were
imprisoned in l942-46 as
“national security risks“
because of their heritage.

It has been 32 years since the
last family straggled from the
last camp at Tule Lake. Calif.
And league officials say too few
people know about executive
order No. 9066. signed by
President Franklin Roosevelt.
that opened the way for the
legal imprisonment of
Japanese not charged with a
crime.

“We hear so many people.
especially from the Midwest
and East. who didn‘t even
know there was an evacuation.

They say. ‘We never read it in
the textbooks.” said Dr.
Clifford Uyeda, league
president.

“Educating them is really our
.primary objective. Money. I
always say. is secondary.“

Under the order. thousands
of families were hustled from
their homes. with only what
they could carry. and moved to
one of IO fenced and guarded
camps built by the federal
government in California.
Arizona. Utah. Wyoming.
Arkansas. Idaho and
Colorado.

Most of the prisoners were
held in those l0 camps. but
about 8.000 were kept at 26
smaller camps. some in the
East, South and Midwest.

Dozens of Japanese who
tried to escape or ventured too
close to the fences were shot.
and eight were killed by guards.

Uyeda believes it could
happen again. “In the hysteria

iof war, I think anything is
possible. If there was a major

war between the US. and
China. it might be the Chinese
who are incarcerated next.“
said Uyeda. 6|. whose parents
and sisters were imprisoned
while he was at school in the
East.

The $3 billion the league
wants from the government
would amount to $25,000 for
each of those incarcerated. an

still alive. A survey of the
league‘s 32.000 members

school system‘s 9.900 first

:graders be excluded from

busing.

The appeals court will send
the case back to the Western
District of Kentucky. Gordon
said Wednesday night that
because he originally was
assigned to the case. he would
reenter it to oversee
implementation the appeals

court‘s order. However. he will'

do that only after the Jefferson
County school board has
exhausted the appeals
procedure. The board decided
Monday to appeal to the US.
Supreme Court.

percent said they would give
their shares to a trust fund.

The amount is not
unreasonably large. said
Raymond Okamura. a chemist
who spent the war years in a
camp in Arizona.

“It is something I can‘t ever
forget." said Okamura. a
member of the league's Redress
Committee. “I feel the
government owes me for false
imprisonment."

He noted that I.200 Vietnam
War protestors arrested in
Washington in |97l were
awarded $l0.000 each for false
imprisonment after just a few
days in jail. “We're talking
about three years.“ Okamura
said.

The Redress Committee.
most of whose members are
camp survivors. has lobbied for
compensation for about a year.

The Federal Reserve Bank in
San Francisco has estimated
that Japanese forced into the
camps lost more than $400
million in property and assets
when put in the camps. A l948
law returned about $34.5
million to some of thosejailed.

Uyeda said response from
legislators has been mixed.
with many pessimistic that such
a huge appropriation could
pass. So far, no bill has been
introduced.

Particularly vexing has been
the bitter opposition of Sen. S.
I. Hayakawa of California.
who is of Japanese ancestry. He
has called the campaign
“ridiculous“ and said the
incarceration was “perfectly
understandable.“

Hayakawa. born and raised
in Canada, also suggested the
campaign would “rekindle old
resentment and racism that no
longer exists."

But leaders of the campaign
believe those feelings linger.

“When we talk about
redress. one ol‘the responses we
get from whites is. ‘But look at
what happened at Pearl
Harbor!” said John Tateishi. a
college instructor who was
imprisoned at Manzanar.
Calif.

"It ignores the fact we are
American citizens. We had
nothing to do with that. I‘m a
third-generation American
citizen. I‘ve never been to
Japan. Yet people say.‘l.ook at
‘Pearl Harbor. you people have
to take some responsibility for
that.‘ But we don‘t.“

The league does not try to
equate the American
concentration camps with the
World War II Nazi death
camps. Imprisoned Japanese-
Americans were not tortured or
separated from their families.

But. said Uyeda. there are
chilling similarities.

“In both instances. the
people were put behind barbed
wire fences in a compound.
surrounded by armed guards.
In both cases. they were there
without any charges ever
brought against them. In both
cases. it was their own
government that did this to
them. And in both cases. they
were there only because oftheir
ancestry,“ he said.

Executive Order 9066 was
not officially rescinded until
Feb. I9. I976. President Gerald
R. Ford called the
incarcerations an “error (that/
shall never be made again.“

Said Uyeda. “It‘s too easy to
say you‘re sorry."
