Shigemitsu, in an obvious reference to Red China, caution ed that close relations with the Communists would have to be "on mutually acceptable terms without prejudice to our basic relations with the free nations." Not Much Expected Now Although the new ruling party promised expanded trade with Communist countries in its pre election statements, Shigemitsu said, "We do not expect much from it at this juncture, but we shall welcome opportunities of expanding its present slender volume without compromising our commitments with the free nations." Shigemitsu, wearing morning coat and striped pants ana smoK ing a cigarette through a long ivory holder, met tnis correspon dent in Tokyo's Marunouchi Hotel. He walked with the aid of crutches. He lost a leg in a bombing incident in Shanghai before World War II.

GOOD COLOR Gloucester, Mass. U.R) One hundred and eighty years have not dimmed the brilliant color of a British uniform coat on display at the Cape Ann His torical Museum. The coat, still a flaming red, was a Revolu tionary War relic taken from an officer on a captured British vessel m 1776. Cohn Displeased With Handling of 'Subversion' News New York (U.R) Roy M. Cohn, former chief counsel for Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's In vestigating Subcommittee, voiced dissatisfaction" last night with the way the press has been re porting "news of subversion and betrayal." Cohn criticized such news papers as the New York Times, the Baltimore Sun and the New York World-Telegram and the Sun. He accused the Times of slant ing stories by "burying" an Im portant part of a story "and play ing up a trivial part." Cohn lashed out at the Scripps-Howard newspapers in general and the World Telegram in particular for its series on McCarthy by reported Fred Woltman. v Speaking to the Catholic In stitute of the Press, Cohn said this fight against atheistic Com munism belongs to all Ameri cans, Catholic, Protestant and Jew." "We . do not ask agreement with McCarthy . . . or anybody or anything else, he said. "But we do ask for reporting free from editorial bias. We ask for the facts so that the people of this country may make up their own minds with knowledge of the facts. In this way much will be done to distinguish this nation from Communist totali tarianism and to keep its people free and with confidence in the great American press." Bing Crosby Named In $1,000,000 Suit Over Auto Injuries Hollywood U.R) Crooner Bing Crosby today found himself in a new role defendant in a $1,000,000 damage suit over auto injuries suffered by three persons who accused . him of reckless driving. When the trial began in Los Angeles Superior Court yester day, the singer commented, "I've never been a principal in one of these things before, not even in a picture." The suit was brought by Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Verdugo of Tarzana, Calif., and Mrs. Ver dugo 's brother, Eulalio Perea, who accused Crosby of driving his $12,000 M ercede s-Benz sports car in a reckless manner while under the influence .of li quor Oct. 11, 1953. The crooner was in court for the start of the trial and sat quietly at the counsel table until he was excused for the day be cause of an argument before the judge on technicalities. Yesterday's, session was devot ed to jury selection and legal arguments. Crosby's attorneys, in answer to the damage action, denied negligence and in xa counter suit accused Verdugo of being "not only under the influence of liquor but his faculties were impaired by reason of lack of proper rest and sleep." - - - Crosby claimed the accident was unavoidable, that he had only two drinks -bef ore dinner and two after dinner and noth ing to drink-for several . hours prior to the accident. Surrender Signer Named To Post of Foreign Minister ' Tokyo (U.R) Mamoru Shige mitsu, signer of the Japanese surrender document, became for eign minister today in Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyamas cabi net. Shigemitsu held the Foreign Ministry portfolio during World War II. He also will serve as deputy premier. Cabinet Formally Invested Hatoyama's cabinet was for mally invested by Emperor Hiro hito at the Imperial Palace. At the key economic posts were Bank of Japan Governor Hisato Ichimada as finance min ister and industrialist Tatsuno suke Takasaki as state minister and director of the Economic Deliberation Board, the nation's overall economic planning agency. Takasaki, wartime president of the Manchurian Industrial De velopment Corp., was expected to cool' any tiffs between Ichi mada and Tanzan Ishibashi, inflation-minded former finance minister in the first Yoshida cabinet in 1946. Gave Up Designs on Post Ishibashi was persuaded with difficulty to give up his designs on the finance post and he ac cepted the Trade Ministry in stead.
