United Press Correspondent
Tokyo U.R) New Foreign
Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu,
who signed Japan's surrender
aboard the battleship Missouri,
today pledged "cooperation"
with the "free nations of the
world, in particular the United
States." -
Shigemitsu told United Press
that while cooperating with the
free world Japan would be "will
ing to adjust our relations with
our continental neighbors if they
will put into practice the avowed
policy of peaceful co-existence."
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. '
- Shigemitsu was listed a major
Japanese war criminal at the in
sistence of the Russians, who de
manded he be tried because they
did not like some of the diplo
matic settlements he worked out
with them over Far Eastern in
cidents. Sentenced Paroled
He was sentenced to seven
years and paroled. He started a
new political party, the Progres
sives, which) later merged with
new Premier Ichiro Hatoyama's
new Japan Democratic party,
Shigemitsu is vice-president of
this new 'government party. .
Shigemitsu was named foreign
minister' today in the new Hato
yama government.
Shigemitsu emphasized that
his views were personal and did
not represent "official" govern
ment policy. However there was
no doubt he spoke for the new
government which was formally
invested today.
"The guiding principle of our
foreign policy is to contribute
toward the enhancement of
peace and progress in East Asia
as its stabilizing forces," he said.

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.
