On this day, March 28, 1942, Japanese-American lawyer Minoru Yasui (1916-1986) violated a military curfew in Portland, Oregon, and demanded to be arrested after he was refused enlistment to fight for the US. He was one of the few Japanese Americans who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2015 he was among 17 people awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.

Also on this day March 28, 1939, the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard blared the headline: "Mighty Oregon Scramble Ohio State to Take Hoop Title of All America," right under a declaration that the Spanish War had ended, of course.

Portland Sees Record Low Temps
No break in climate change legislation is expected.

Portland, Oregon and the surrounding area saw record low temperatures this morning, getting down to an unseasonably cold 29° F, but a a far cry from the -29° F reported in Montana. Ironically, the Columbia River Gorge did not reach freezing because of the East Wind. Eugene even had Portland beat with a frosty 23° F this morning.

Noted climate realist, Dr. Gordon Fulks commented "I think that we can safely blame the Canadians or Mother Nature, not Global Warming, for the frigid morning."

Here is the official Record Report from Clinton Rockey at the National Weather Service:
