“TWO-STORY” PLANE READY SOON—Test flights now are being made for the new $1,500,000
Boeing Stratocruiser, which will be put into service on some routes of Pan American World
Airways in November. The plane, which has two decks with a lounge and bar on the lower
“floor” will carry 75 passengers. It will be used first between Ban Francisco and Honolulu and
New York and London. An idea of its speed is shown in its 12-hour New York -London schedule.

New Strife Forecast
After Attempt to Kill
Jap Communist Chief
Sy th« Associated Pres* t
TOKYO, July 20.—A new labor 1
drive for political power can be ex
pected to follow last night's attempt
to assassinate Communist Leader
K.vuichi Tokuda.
Behind that will be a sharper clash
between radicals and conservatives—
with only the presence of Gen.
Mac^rthur’s troops preventing what
Gen. MacArthur himself once pre- ,
dieted could be "a blood bath."
A former Communist, brought
home to Japan from a wartime Rus- 1
sian prison camp, threw a dynamite- j
filled pop' bottle at Tokuda. "Com
munism is no good for Japan,” he
told police to whom he surrendered.
Bursts Near His Feet.
Tokuda was speaking at a political!
rally In Saga City, Kyushu, when the
bomb was thrown from a balcony by
Ichiro Koga, 27-year-old coal miner.
It burst near Tokuda's feet, just
behind him, and tiny fragments of
glass peppered his leg, arm and
neck.
"This was dangerous, I thought.”
Tokuda later told newsmen. He s
washed his 38 minor wounds—while i
some of the panicky audience |
plunged unhurt from windows. Then '
he finished his speech and went to
a hospital.
Said his assailant: "I regret ex- j
tremely that I did not assassinate j
Tokuda. As long as there is Com- j
munism in Japan, she cannot be re
habilitated.”
Extremists Biding Time.
Observers here are convinced only
the shadow of Allied power has
prevented earlier attempts to elim
inate Tokuda as Japan's most dy
namic rabble rouser. Since the oc
cupation began, there has been only
one previous assassination attempt
—against Katsumi Kikunami, left
ist labor Jeader. in 1947.
Full use of Japan’s familiar
weapon of assassination is being
postponed—until lifting of Allied re
straint gives Japanese extremists a
chance to settle things their own
way.
On one side, Communist* have
been fighting for government power
since occupation authorities first re
leased them from jail. Blocked at
the polls, where they won only 2
per cent of the vote, they hare been
striving to win authority orer the
Japanese labor movement.
Both Sides Believe in Fore*.
On the other side, arch conserva
tive politicians and industrialists
are fighting to preserve their own
power and such remnant* of old
Japan as a strong imperial court.
Both sides have strongarm men
and a faith in force. This is what
Gen. MacArthur meant when he
said “a blood bath” could occur.
The Communist Party issued a
public statement calling the attempt
on Tokuda's life "a cowardly act of
violence” by “militaristic reaction
ary elements,” and warned of pas
sible violence against “labor move
ments, farm movements and other
democratic organizations.” It urged
all workers to “unite and arise.”
The “reactionary policy” of Jap
an's present government “stimu
lated and promoted” the attack, the
communist statement added. It de
manded the resignation of Premier j
Ashida's cabinet.
Of about 205 species and varieties
of snakes in the United States less
than 15 per cent can be considered
dangerous to man.

Port of Naples, Hard Hit {
By War, Being Repaired
By the Associated Press
NAPLES.—Italy’s worst war-dam
aged port will be back to normal
within eight or 10 months. That is
the opinion of Dr. Gaetano Basso,
engineer in charge of Naples harbor
reconstruction, who has already |
carried out repairs which enabled
the port to operate at 90 per cent 1
of prewar capacity.
Germans retreating northward in
1943 gave their demolition techniques j
a full workout at Naples. When the j
Allies arrived, they found three-1
fourths of the piers out of use for,
months to come, nearly 150 vessels
