Japanese-American Relations Good
Tokyo— (U.P.) —There is an occasional cry of "Yankee, Go Home" in Japan these days.
Sometimes the newspapers play up reports of crimes against Japanese by American service men.
There was a wave of anti-Americanism when 23 Japanese fishermen suffered radiation burns as the result of the March 1 Bikini H-bomb test.
But actually, relations between the average American and the average Japanese probably are better than at any time since Japan regained its sovereignty two years ago and people were again free to speak their minds.
The few cries of "Yankee, Go Home" come from leftists, ultranationalists, and students, vocal but unimportant.
The protests which followed the atom-dusting of the fishermen were only anti-American because it was the U.S. that exploded the H-bomb. It is natural that Japanese, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki fresh in
Though the newspapers play up some crime news, they practically ignore some serious cases.

their minds, have a horror of atomic weapons.
Americans were warned by U.S. authorities to stay off the streets of Tokyo during the recent May Day demonstrations because of the danger of attack. But a United Press correspondent mingled with a crowd of 200,000 "radicals" in the Meiji park and followed snake-dancing students in the parade who shouted "Go Home, Yankee." He was not subjected to one hostile word or look.
Some of the newspapers give the impression of being anti-American at times. Most of them actually support close relation with the United States. What they are doing is attacking the pro-American Yoshida government.
American business men here who have discussed the problem of press relations are sometimes inclined to blame the American embassy and the Army public information sections. They say that these American agents sit behind the desks and wait for Japanese to come to them. The Communists go to the Japanese.
Americans are not free from
blame, particularly service men out for a night on the town. Two soldiers in Beppu brutally beat a cab driver and stole his watch and lighter, worth less than $10. One killed a Japanese while driving recklessly. An unidentified GI threw a Japanese man into a Tokyo river. He was drowned. There are numerous cases of GIs breaking into houses or assaulting cab drivers.
Japanese authorities have been urinating toward American aid.
In the six months since they were given jurisdiction over U.S. service men involved in disorders outside military posts more than 2000 complaints have been filed.
Most of them -minor incidents like traffic accidents, taxicab quarrels and failure to pay cafe bills—were dismissed.
There have been only 46 indictments. Sentences ranged from fines of about $25 to seven years in prison. The heaviest sentence went to the Americans who beat the Beppu cab driver. They got five to seven years in prison. American Army authorities said privately that the men were lucky. Had two Japanese showed the same brutality toward Americans, they said, the sentences would have been heavier.
