Shiqemitsu Urges
Partnership Plan
For U. S., Japan
By SPENCER DAVIS
WASHINGTON Wi Japanese
Foreign Minister Mamoru Shige
mitsu said today the time has
come for America and Japan to
"review our defense relationship!
ana put u on a soiia pannersnip
basis."
Shigemitsu said that under the
existing security treaty between
the two nations the major burden
for Japan's defense has been
placed on the United States.. Ja
pan, he declared, has been "co
operating under an unequal ar
rangement." Shigemitsu's remarks were pre-
flared for a National Press Club
uncheon. He is here for a three
day round of talks with American
officials.
The foreign minister, who a dec
ade ago signed his country's sur
render to the Allies, did not go
into details in his discussion of
Japan's rearmament plans a
topic of his conferences today with
Secretary of State Duiies and oth
er top U. S. officials. American au
thorities have been critical of Ja
pan's slow pace in building her
defense forces.
But he made plain that he be
lieves the two countries must
stand together lo maintain peace
in the Pacific and East Asia, and
ha declared that Japan "must be
ware Communist peace offensives
which aim at creating difficulties
and dissensions among free na
tions." Shigemitsu said Japan felt her
technical state of war with Rus
sia should be ended. Moscow and
Tokyo have yet to sign a peace
treaty ending World War II. But
he gave assurance that Japan
"will not undertake anything that
will prejudice in the least our dyn
amic partnership with your great
country.

NLRB Prohibits
Non Unionists
Part In Strike
! WASHINGTON I The Na.
I tional Labor Relations Board to
day voted 3-2 to prohibit an em
ployer from insisting a union win
prior approval from both union
and nonunion employes before
calling a strike.
An NLRB majority held the
Wooster, Ohio, division of Borg
Warner Corp. failed to bargain in
good faith by demanding contract
clauses requiring an approving
secret vote among alt its workers
before the CIO United Auto Work
ers could call a strike or seek
contract changes.
The ruling is contrary to a 1953
decision of the U.S. Court of Ap
peals at Chicago. That court held
employes could properly seek such
clauses in labor contracts.
In the Borg - Warner case the
majority held that an employer's
effort to have bargaining decis
ions made by all employes amount
ed to undermining the union's posi
tion by dealing directly with work
ers. 49,441 Families
