Jap Diet Gives
Premier Suzuki
Dictatorial Power
SAN FRANCISCO, June II
(UP) The Japanese house of
representatives Monday night
(Tokyo time) passed a wartime
emergency bill granting virtual
dictatorial power to Premier
Baron Kantaro Suzuki and sur
rendering most of the diet's pow
ers prerogatives.
The bill now goes to the house
of peers for final action.
Tokyo radio, recorded by Unit
ed Press, San Francisco, said it
is ltlieved the upper house will
approve the bill in the same form
it was passed by the lower house.
After considerable debate in
the house of representatives, the
bill was revised to provide that
the government should advise the
diet's wartime emergency com
mittee of any emergency acts it
has dcreed.
The revision apiyirently was
a face-saving gesture for the diet.
In effect, it meant that the gov
ernment is expected merely to in
form the diet committee iff any
emergency action it plunned to
lake or actually had taken.
But to all intents, the bill in
its present form presumably abol
ished tiie diet as a war policy
making organiuon.
Under another bill before the
diet, the government would con
seripi all mabS from 15 to 60 ami
females from 17 to 40 for combat
service in the event of an Amer-
ft('an Invasion of the Japanese
home islands.

Ihe use of $8,238,501,500 in funds
to be recovered from war con
tract adjustments.
