Hood River to Bury Nisei With Honor

HOOD RIVER, Ore., Sept. 9. -- (AP) -- A Nisei will be buried with honors Saturday in this city, where Nisei names once were stricken from the war's honor roll.

The body of Frank Hachiya, 25 years old, native of this country's fruit-growing valleys, holder of the Silver Star for gallantry, is home from Leyte.

The American Legion, which in wartime bitterness struck from the honor roll of county service men the names of Japanese-Americans, will join with the Veterans of Foreign Wars in conducting the services.

Hachiya died on Leyte to get information on Japanese positions ahead of advancing American troops. He crawled back to his lines, mortally wounded, but he had the information.
