Conservatives Plan Rousing Ike Welcome TOKYO CAP) Japanese con servatives today made plans to rally 600,000 Japanese to give President Eisenhower a rousing welcome, countering leftist dem onstrations against his visit. rnme Minister Nobusuke Ki- shis Liberal-Democratic party and Japanese business leaders joined in a "National Welcome Ike Committee" to ensure a warm reception when the President ar rives June 19. An organized reception for the rresiaent was made necessary Dy mounting leftist opposition to the visit and student threats to stage a giant sit-down strike on the run ways of Tokyo's International Air port to- impede the President's landing. - Behind the students are social ist, Communist and left-wing la bor groups contending that Eisen hower s visit amounts to interler- ence in the bitter dispute over ratification of the new U.S.-Japan security treaty. Kishi ignored a boycott by the Socialist minority in Parliament and opened a debate in the upper house aimed at final ratification of the treaty. Kishi and Foreign Minister At ichiro Fujiyama explained govern ment arguments for the new treaty, which permits continued American use of Japanese mili tary bases for at least another 10 years but gives Japan more say in controlling deployment ot u.o. forces from Japanese bases. Without upper house action, the new treaty automatically would take effect on June 19 the day Eisenhower arrives or 30 day.! after its approval by the lower house. Apparently the government felt earlier final ratification might take some of the steam out of the anti-Eisenhower demonstration. The government planned to designate 10,000 civilians to help 9.000 police quell any disorders when Eisenhower arrives. Bomarc Missile Explodes In Pen McGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N. J. (AP) A needle-nosed Bo marc missile, battle-ready with an atomic warhead in its concrete launching pen, caught fire' Tues day, touching off a radiation scare. The missile was, Badly damaged and some radiation seeped out of its nuclear tip. First reports were that there was a threat of heavy radiation in the remote pinclands around the base. The Air Force later said that the radioactivity and a slight amount at that was confined to the badly damaged launching pen. Investigators of the Atomic En ergy Commission, the Defense De partment and the New Jersey De partment of Health said they would all probe the incident. The Air Force said the Bomarc caught fire as it nestled unattend ed in its concrete launching shel ter, one of 54 at the missile base. There apparently was a small explosion in the missile fuel sys tem and then fire broke out, ah Air Force spokesman said. There were no reports of in juries in the fire. Air Force officials said a sys tem of safeguards is installed on each missile to bar an accidental detonation. Because of the safe guards, it takes a deliberate ac tion by a missile or bomber crew to arm the warhead so it will ex plode. The launching- site is about 20 miles southeast of the state capi tal at Trenton. Slate civil defense authorities were ready to order evacuation of the public from areas at and near the base. The missile itself was a total loss, burned out or melted down by the blaze. The weapon costs between a million dollars and $1, 200,000.
