Japan picks new head of state
TOKYO-Ruling party leader Masayoshi Oihira was elected Japan's prime minister yesterday after a day's delay caused by feeding within his own Liberal-Democratic Party. Oihira then named a 20-member cabinet apparently armed to battle Japan's economic problems.
Ohira, 18, was assured the top government post Nov. 27, after he scored an upset victory over incumbent party president and prime minister. Takeo
As party president, Oihra was automatically in line for the ministerial post because his party holds a majority in both houses of parliament.
His selection, however, was held up because Fukuda's faction refused to participate in Oihara's election since Oihara had picked one of his own supporters, and he was not a viable candidate.

Gas, oil push wholesale prices up

prices in November were more than double what they were 11 years ago.

BUT PRICE increases of other goods offset most of the improvement in the food supply.

Lee McCarthar, 38, Wichita, has been placed in isolation for preparing and mailing several newsletters, including one setting up a defense fund for himself.
