The Bakersfield Californian from Bakersfield, California • Page 11

LOCAL SECTION BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1945 PAGES 9 TO 18 (Friday, November SO, Ueiltetiant Glenn Bultman Probably the first Conga line ever organized on the peninsula of Hokkaido, Japan, had its origin in the niind of a Bakersfield attorney, serving Rear Admiral R. Conoty as axi intelligence officer. Extraordinary protocol was established -by three young naval officers, first to visit Jozankei in Hokkaido immediately after our Third Amphibious Group had. landed. When our navy secured a beachhead on the narrow, peninsula connecting Hokkaido and Honshu, three young officers, including Glenn Bultman, of.this city, set off oh an intelligence mission in a jeep.

air. fleets of B-29a had razed Aomori and Ominato but the of Hokkaido was untouched. Visit Jozankei Lieutenant Bultman and his fellow officers made their way inland over Jap roads to the big city of Jozankei, a.famous winter resort in Japan. The Japs, at first were very fearful of the three young "officers but our naval envoys soon found a little keeper who spoke some English and he acted as interpreter for them. When the wronderiug Japanese found that the three young men were not goitjg.to fire their town or carry off spoils 1 and loot in the fashion set by the Japanese when they were victorious in the early days of the war, the towns people excessively hospitable and organized a big party for 'the trio.

Quantities of food were Japanese dishes were prepared 1 including the Nipponese version of "beef stew" for the delectation of the navy palate as well as great quantities of Sapporo beer, which Glenn says is excellent. Speeches Too The town functionaries made speeches, even after the fashion of our own cities, the prefecture of police, mayor and other notables acted as hosts and Geisha girls entertained with formal Japanese dances. As the "party" progressed the Japanese, through their interpreter asked the three Americans to sing them a song. Somewhat em- barassed, they tried to oblige with, "You'll Be Comih' 'Round the Mountain," "Rancho Grande" and others. Dance Too The Japanese expressed polite approval and some mystification.

Then they asked the Americans if they would dance. Lieutenant Buitman said Americans did not have folk when they danced danced with women. After some persuasian a Geisha girl volunteered her services and.our lieutenants tried to improvise a few capers to the. dubious accompaniment of those cat-call Japanese Samise'ns which is the Nip idea of what a three-stringed banjo is like. This broke the ice, Bultman said, and before the evening was over, the mayor, chief of police, town notables and Geisha were all organized and doing the Conga, which, in all probability was the first ever seen In Jozankei.

Lieutenant Bultman is home now and has rejoined a prominent law firm here after bis service, since 1942 with Admiral Halsey and Rear-Admiral Conoly as an intelligence officer. His first campaign was at New Caledonia and en route to Japan he was at Leyte and Lingayen. Boy Farrell When Roy Farrell comes out of the air forces in which he has been conditioning men physically, he will become the physical education director at the Richland School, Shafter, according to the letter quoted who is as fine a fellow as you will meet, was a physical" education instructor before he.joined the air forces. In the service he has had a vast amount of experience in his own line of work and the school system can congratulate itself on securing a man like Roy. I quote his letter: Dear Jim: Just a few words from the Salt River Valley and the heart of the ereat desert.

Fireman Transferred to Prevention Post sembly committee investigation of the recent film strike that Bunions were guilty of a conspiracy and asked District Attorney Fred W. Howser why no felony complaints had been issued during strike" disturbances! In the session in which Chairman C. Don Field stated he was convinced that there was a breakdown of law and order during the Warner Brothers strike, a charge denied by Howser, the district attorney asked Wer del "what kind of complaints." According to Associated Press, Mr. Werdel replied, "Why a complaint charging conspiracy, a conspiracy to commit "nisdemeanors? We have had plenty of testimony on the use of the sound truck by the strikers to needle the mob. How about the law on lawful assembly? The announce'd threats'of what they were going to do on the morrow? The tying up of the largest taxpaying institution in the county? If there ever was a plan, here was a conspiracy.

"You are entitled to your opinion," Howser replied, "but we 'have men in our office who studied it and said there was no conspiracy in their opinion." Chairman Field issued a statement declaring: "It is high time' 1 that Americans and Californians to the conditions confronting us, when mobs can thumb their noses at and law and order, when totalitarian groups will use any kind of dispute to spread hatred, distrust and violence." The committee recessed its hearings Thursday to review testimony and possibly prepare legislative recommendations.

Kern Farmers Given Instruction on lincome Tax Payment Methods From AM Office Farmer payments, including conservation practice payments, dairy, beef, sheep and lamb payments and payments made Under the sugar act, must be included in 1945- income tax reports, Kern county farmers were warned today by J.

R. Bright, county -agriculture adjustment agency committee chairman. Outline of the deadline, dates for filing ef farmers' income-tax returns provides that an estimated declfcv- tion tax liability on earnings in 1345 mut-t be filed and paid by January paid to farm labor must be filed on fojms 1098 ana 1099 with the processing division in New York by February 15. If estimated ration is filed January 15; final and accurate veturn-ls due March 15,, according to Bright, Farmers' returns should "be prepared under the same general rules governing businessmen and Form 1040 must be used.
