"That's awfully nice of the government to give us an option pick up and get out or go to a camp. One of them had to be an offer you couldn't refuse," Horikawa said, adding he and his family were held in a camp for 18 months. Many Japanese-Americans could not afford to move and others "stayed back thinking this was too horrendous to happea They were wrong," he said. Horikawa said Japanese-Americans who were held in camps deserve compensation.

"The Japanese-Americans are often confused with the Japanese. The point was that we are still American citizens and American citizens were put into concentration camps," he said. "When citizens are uprooted without due process and put into prison it calls into question that kind of denial of rights," Horikawa added. HARRISBURG (AP) American Legion officials from Pennsylvania said Friday the federal government should not compensate Japanese-Americans held in internment camps during World War II. The organization opposes federal legislation that would give apologies and $20,000 to Japanese-Americans held in the camps, the officials said at a Capitol news conference.

On Thursday, the legion asked President Reagan not to sign the legislation, said Edward T. Hoak, the group's state adjutant. Relocation of Japanese-Americans was a "military necessity" because Army intelligence had shown a definite spy link between the West Coast and Japan, Hoak said in a statement. Japanese-Americans were not forced into the camps, Hoak said. They could enter a camp or move away from the West Coast, he said.

Neither option had much appeal, said Hebert Horikawa, a member of the Japanese-American Citizens Legion officials said Japanese-Americans suffered no more than U.S. soldiers during the war. "If anybody was relocated, it was the veterans," Hoak said. "There's been a reduction in veterans' benefits and yet we can spend a billion dollars" on the compensation plan, he added. Both Japanese-Americans and U.S.

servicemen were relocated and lost earnings, Hoak said. But, unlike Japanese-Americans in internment camps, soldiers also were separated from their families, he said. Members of Pennsylvania's American Legion recently adopted a resolution that said compensating Japanese-Americans would "make a mockery of the terrible sacrifices endured by American sevicemen and women in a war which began with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor." Introduced at the legion's state convention last month, the resolution was passed unanimously by 2,000 delegates. -V i i i -7 1- im ai 11,1 -il 1 the annual Three Rivers Regatta.

In a recent interview, acting U.S. Attorney James West said Kerr started cooperating after he was implicated in an unrelated federal case. In return for Kerr's surreptitious tape-recording of conversations in which Benedict implicated himself, West agreed not to prosecute Kerr in the unrelated fraud case. West said Kerr's cooperation was crucial to nabbing Benedict, who had maintained his innocence since the first hints of the scandal became known.

Benedict pleaded guilty earlier this year and is serving a six-year sentence in a federal prison in Cambria County. Another former aide, Harold Im-ber, was sentenced last week to four years in prison on charges stemming from selling jobs.

Morgan ordered former deputy Auditor General John Kerr to surrender to the Dauphin County sheriff at 9 a.m. Monday. He will be taken to the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill to start serving a two-to-five-year sentence. Kerr was convicted in 1984 of more than 100 counts stemming from the selling of jobs in the department. He had remained free on bail pending the outcome of an appeal, which he lost, and a bid for a reduced sentence, which was not granted.

The bid for a sentence reduction stemmed from his 1987 decision to cooperate with federal prosecutors in an investigation that eventually led to the indictment of his former boss, Does the summer heat have your car that because it almost went through my eye." Stein says the prong went through the part of the brain responsible for vision "and it still didn't affect him." "He is an intelligent boy, and I'm not just saying that because he's my son," Swartz says. "I have absolutely no idea what happened. He is one lucky kid," Stein says. The only visible effect is that Brian looks like "someone punched him in the eye and gave him a black eye," his father adds. Stein told the family he's never "We've never run into a situation like this before," says Larry Zimmerman, coordinator for CCEM.
