EG: Do you know why the FBI started keeping a record of you?

FS: I had a brother who didn't follow the family line, and he joined the Marines. They sent him out to China. In Shanghai, he was riding a motorcycle and a Chinese rickshaw man dashed in front of him. You know, there's always the devil following these Chinese people, and if they can go in front of a passing boat or something, it may cut off the devils. Anyway, this rickshaw man ran in front of him, and he hit him. And they both went through a plate glass window, and the Chinese man died. My brother was hurt. He always felt very bad about that. When he came back, came out, he was elected president or something of the Veterans of Foreign War group in the Seattle area. And at one of the meetings someone said, "You know, what we ought to do is to go out to that campus and run those yella bellied Jap lovers out of town." And my brother said, "Well, one of them happens to be my brother, and I want in on this." They didn't say anything more about it.
