Japan Recalls '45 Defeat,
Praises U. S. Occupation
TOKYO, Aug. 15 UP) —Japan
frankly and solemnly observed
today the 10th anniversary of
its crushing defeat in 1945, dis
cussed with equanimity the oc
cupation that followed, and
looked with hope to the future.
Prime Minister Ichiro Hato
yama keynoted the day with a
statement which praised the
United States occupation for
averting starvation and thus
"staving ofT fascism and com
munism.”
Japanese mourned the war
dead of all nations in Buddhist
and Shinto prayers before
green-banked altars in many
cities.
They spoke and read of peace
prosperity and politics on this
anniversary of abject surrender
by a proud people.
Press Stresses Recovery
Some attended spo-ts events.
Almost all scanned big picture
and story supplements in their
newspapers, showing Japan bro
ken and devastated on August
15. 1945, but forging rapidly
ahead today.
The newspaper Asahi said all
Japanese want the past 10 years
of peace to “continue on and
on.” but warned today’s liberty!,
"descended on us from heaven
almost accidentally.” !
Mainichi said “it is not a'
simple matter to build a middle ’
of the road democracy. . . But !
that is the happiest road for;,
Japan."
Yomiuri spoke of Japan’sj,
economic progress but cau- ‘
tioned a completely independent ,
economy and diplomacy is still .
remote.
“We must recognize anew we
can be saved only by ourselves,";
Yomiuri concluded. '

Some Gl Policies ;
Can Be Reinstated
By the Associated Press
The Veterans Administration 1
said today a new law gives some
veterans of the Korean War J
another chance to reinstate ex- 1
pired GI term insurance policies

The extension applies to two
groups of men who were in active ,
service after April 25, 1951

within 120 days after their dis
charge. and those whose policies :
expired while they were in serv- i
•dee but who failed to renew them i
after discharge.
The old law permitted renewal i
within 120 days of discharge on
policies which had expired while,:
the men were on active duty. The : '

render held a quiet party at a
Tokyo hotel.
Leaders of both conservative
parties—Mr. Hatoyama's Demo
crats and the rival Liberals—
plugged for a merger against the
threatening strength of the
j Socialists.
A right Socialist leader praised
; the Japan has found
under the occupation-sponsored
i constitution, but said reac
tionaries were threatening it. A
ileft Socialist leader professed
Ito discern similar danger. He
said the constitution “stands in
danger of being revised for the
worse . . and plans for bring
ing in atomic weapons are crush
ing Japan's national livelihood."
These were slaps at Hatoyama’s
drive to revise the constitution to
permit Japan to rearm. He didn’t
dodge the issue. From his sum-;
mer villa at Karuizawa he said
he wants a new election fought
on precisely this issue.

policies which expired either

The new reinstatement dead
line is 120 days after discharge
or after July 29, 1955, whichever
is later.

Seoul Renews
Drive to Oust
Red Inspectors
SEOUL, Aug. 15 — De
mands for Communist truce in
; spectors to get out of Korea con
; tinue dtoday but demonstrations
quieted as Koreans celebrated
ithe 10th anniversary of their
j liberation from Japan.
I President Syngman Rhee yes
terday opened the celebrations
with a speech attacking Ameri
can policy in Asia and restating
his determination to remove the
Neutral Nations Supervisory
Commission from Korea. Ko
reans claim the Communist
Czech and Polish members of
Jthe NNSC’s truce inspection
teams are spies who hasten the
day when North Korea will at- ;
tack again.
Addressing 10.000 people in
, Seoul Stadium yesterday, Mr.
, Rhee said President Eisenhower
had enurfeiated a new United
States policy at Geneva—one ad
‘ vocatlng a new “peace of mu
tual forbearance.”
Hits “Status Quo”
Mr. Rhee urged the free world
to abandon any drift toward this
; or any other “status quo” policy
; and instead “roll back the Iron
[ Curtain from areas it has ille
j gaily engulfed.”
Mr. Rhee deviated from his
text to warn his countrymen
! against violence in their demon
strations.
! Demonstrations continued
r today in the front of all five of
the truce team billets—at Pusan,
! Inchon, Kangnung, Kunsan and
Taegu, with up to several hun
-1 dred demonstrators arrayed out
-1 side each billet guarded by
1 American troops.
'j Demonstrations in Seoul yes
terday paraded past the United
; States Embassy and the resi
dence of Ambassador William S.
r B. Lacy. Among them were

U. S. Commander Returns
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer,
United Nations Far East com
mander, came back to Korea to
night. He had returned to
Tokyo only last night.
He saw Mr. Rhee last
week when demonstration riots
reached a peak and told him the
’ United States was obligated to
’ protect the truce teams.

The demonstrations slacked

s Saturday he had postponed in

’ [ truce inspectors to get out of
■ the country. He said then that
'he had assurances from the
■ United States that it “will make
t efforts soon” to obtain peaceful

backing of his (Rhee’s) provo
