Political Violence To End, Says Ikeda
TOKYO — (UPI) — Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda today pledged to a parliament saddened over the assassination of one of its members that he would wipe out political violence in Japan.
His promise came as political parties started preparing for national elections which will test whether the pro-Western government retains popular support in the face of bitter attacks from Communists and other left wingers.
Ikeda paid tribute to Inejiro Asanuma, a member of the Diet (parliament) and leader of the opposition Socialist Party who was slain by a teen-age rightwing fanatic last week. He said Asanuma was "the very symbol of Japanese socialism" and the nation felt deep sorrow at his death.
"I will swear with all of you here that I shall not permit the tendency which attempts to justify any means for attaining certain goals from this day on," ikeda declared.
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo — Three native women were reported murdered today in a new outbreak of violence in the chaotic Congo. The violence coincided with mounting criticism by Congolese leaders against army Col. Joseph Mobutu's "strongman" control of this unstable regime.
The killings were reported to have occurred in the capital's African quarter where a dozen hostile tribes live uneasily side by side. Mobutu, whose apparent reluctance to force a showdown with deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba is causing criticism against him, was reported ready to send troops into the African quarter to collect arms believed to be hidden there.
Yesterday Mobutu announced that he had changed his mind about calling parliament back into session and reiterated his decision to "neutralize" the legislative body and all political parties until the end of 1960.
VIENNA — Two Americans, one of whom said he entered the Soviet Union to gather notes to prove Russia was planning war, crossed the Iron Curtain border to freedom today after undergoing a secret Soviet military trial in which they admitted they were "not normal tourists."
The two are Mark Kaminsky, 32,
of Jefferson Township, Mich., and
Harvey Bennett, 26, of Bath, Maine,
who went to the Soviet Union in
August as tourists.
Kaminsky said he had pleaded guilty to a charge of "collecting material and conducting activities incompatible with those of a regular tourist." He said he was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment and then expelled.
PARIS — Former Premier Paul Reynaud told the National Assembly today he believes President Eisenhower will invite France to share American nuclear secrets after the Nov. 8 presidential election.
