Japanese Ragpickers Duel
With Knives on Honor Point
By DAY INOSIIITA
United Press Staff Correspondent
TOICYO (UP) Duelling for
the sake of honor is not a mon
oply of the West nor titled gen
try. Toku Mizuo, 35, and Tctsujiro
Hirato, 28, don't look like the type
who live by the gentleman's code.
They are "bataya," or ragpick
ers. Bui they duelled for honor just
a stone's throw from the peaceful
shrine to one of Japan's heroes,
the Emperor Meiji.
Their weapons were ' kitchen
knives, their armor, rags.
Mizuo and Hirata were once
friends and partners. They met
while going through trash cans
and took a liking to each other.
Mizou, who had a room, took Hir-

The parmershlp'worked well for
six months. But lately Mizuo sus

Hirata's contributions to the ar
rangement were dwindling.
One day Mizuo.' followed his
partner. He claimed he discov
ered Hirata literally eating the
fish off the fish dumplings he
picked up in a well-stocked trash
box. " '
. Bitter words .followed and the
slurs against each other's charac
ter were unacceptable to men of
honor.
They decided on a duel. The
time was just before midnight un
der the lonely Sendagaya bridge.
Mizuo, who arrived first, primed
himself with two cups of schoehu,
a potent bootleg . potato alcohol
Hirata arrived two minutes later.
They squared away with two hew
kitchen knives bought lor the oc
casion. . 'A ..'
The spot was deserted but the
yells of the contestants drew hor
rified watchers who called police.
Half an hour after the first blow
was struck the police arrived.
By that time the two were stag
gering from shochu and loss of
blood.
,The police officers dragged the
bloody pair to a hospital where
Mizuo was treated for 11 knife
wounds and Hirata for eight.
Later, the two were booked at
the police station not for vio
lating the law against duelling
which had gathered dust since
1889, but on a more prosaic charge
"assault with dangerous weap
ons." Jailers at Kosuge Prison said
they have decided to forget
wounded honor and become bud
dies again In their trash bin partnership.

Rejection Called
Suicide Basis
BAN FRANCISCO (UP) The
roots of suicide lie in a childhood
conflict, according to Dr Donald
D. Jackson, a clinical instructor
in psychiatry in the University of
California School of Medicine.
It appears that suicidal individ
uals have experienced, during
their childhood, severe rejection
by one or both parents, he said,
adding:
"As long as such an individual
lives in a situation in which he
is continually accepted, his con
flict may not break out into the
open. But if he encounters an ex
perience producing a marked feel
ing of rejection ... he may no
longer be able to repress his con
flicts." The major situations in which
suicide tends to occur, Dr. Jack
son said, can bo classified rough
ly into two groups: (1) those in
volving outright rejection, such as
divorce or loss of a job; (2) the
anticipation of rejection, such as
loss of prestige or a failure in
one's work.
Spain Seeking
More Aid From
United States
Spain feels that its valu to the
United States in the building up
of Western defenses against Com
munist aggression is not properly
recognized.
Spanish spokesmen are com
plaining that General Francisco
Franco's government is not get
ting the economic aid it is entitled
to under the Spansh-American
Military Agreement.
From the purely military view
point, the ageement is working
well. But the feeling in Spain is
that economic aid, which is part
of the agreement, is being doled
out with a very reluctant hand.
American economic aid for the
fiscal years 1954-1955 totaled 170-million-dollars.
Spain feels that
other countries which are of less
potential value to the United Stales
are getting more.
Spanish dissatisfaction has not
yet reached the point where the
smooth working of the military
part of the agreement is endan
gered.
Agreement In Danger
But it could reach that point if
the United States let tile situation
drift.
Spain, with pretty good reason,
regards itself as the givnt anti-
Communist bastion of Western
Europe.
It occupies, with Portugal, a pen
insula which forms the extreme
Southwestern coiner of Europe. If,
in the event of a war, Communist
armies swept over Western
Europe, there would be hope of
slopping them ut the Pyrenees
Mountains which form the frontier
between Franco and Spain.
Politically also, Spain is an anti
Communist bastion. There are
strong Communist movements in
France and Italy. In Spain there
is none. France and Italy are
weakened by recurrent ' Cabinet
crises. Spain has a one-party politi
cal system, with Franco as un
disputed leader.
In fact, it wus Spain's position
as a "totalitarian" country which
kept it for years outside the West
em defense setup. The United Nn
(ions' even boycotted it diplomat
ically for a time after World
War II.
But the steady encroachment of
Russian Communism in Europe
forced a reappraisal of policy. The
Western Allies started to realize
the potential value of Spain with
its stable government and its army
of 300,000 or more men behind the
Pyrenees.
Diplomatic Boycott Lifted
The diplomatic boycott was lift
ed, and alter long negotiation a
Spanish-American Military Agree
ment was signed on Sept. 26, 1953.
It provided that the United States
should get both air and naval
bases at strategic points all over
Spain, in return for military and
economic aid.
These bases are being developed
steadily. There are tojw air bases
in the area of Madrid, in the center
of Spain, in the northeastern part
of the country, and in the south
west. There are to be naval bases
on both the Mediterranean and At
lantic coasts.
American military rneii are fre-
United States is equipping the
United States is ecjuippng the
Spansli army and air force.
There is every reason to believe
that authorities in Washington will
recognize 'the Spanish aid com-
plants, and that before long a po
tentially serious situation will be
cleared up.
From the time of the English
Restoration until the 19l0's, bovs
as young as 12 regularly went
to sea as midshipmen aboard
Royal Navy ships of war.

CHICAGO (UP) Five 'staff
members of the Illinois Institute

lication on grounds thai they pub
lished off rulor humor.

sion of the technology news' editor

students, said the staff had been
told several limes to stop print
ing a controversial humor column
and lo delete jokes objectionable
to some readers.
Henry C. Cureio, 20, associate
editor and senior class president.
said the dispute was partly a staff
misunderstanding.
He said a statf member printed
a column after it was ordered re
moved because he thought the ban
applied to eurher content rather
than the tille of the column.
The five .students were placed
on probation and will not be per-
nutted to lake pari in extracur

School System
Faces Problems
CONCORD, N il. (UP) New
Hampshire educators are prepar
ing for a few critical years im
mediately ahead of the slate's
public school system.
Enrollment is expected to jiunp
nearly 20 per cent by the 1959-60
school year, or about 17,000 more
pupils.
In this period, the state esti
mates it will need 400 more ele
mentary teachers and 125 more
high school teachers.
However, the stute also has too
quick turnover of teachers.
The higher wages in nearby
states attract uliout 100 teachers
a year from New Hampshire, ap
proximately the same number
graduated by the State Teachers
Colleges.
