The White House ceremony marked the beginning of a new era for Japan. For the first time since World War II she will find herself deal ing with the United States on a basis of sovereign equality. It is the end of the long road back for Japan from the time when her war lords' dream of conquest finally died in the glare of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima. The new security pact Ei senhower and Kishi signed replaces the hastily-drawn provisional arrangement of 1951 under which American Army, Navy and Air Forces have been kept in the islands since the peace treaty. It was hammered out, dur ing months of tough bargain ing in Tokyo, to eliminate the objections of Kishi and other Japanese leaders who com plained that the provisional pact smacked too much of the relationship between con- 30 Fellowships Are Awarded University Eugene - The University of Oregon has been awarded 30 National Defense Education graduate fellowships for the coming year.

University Starts Fire Prevention Plan Eugene The University of Oregon has started a fire pre vention program among the 21 national fraternities on its campus. The progrtm is a di rect result of the Sept. 7 fire which destroyed the interior of the Sigma Nu fraternity house. At the present time, the university requires fire drills in the university - owned dormitories and the 20 wom en's living organizations vol untarily participate in a fire prevention program. However, the men's organi zations were only subject to the semi-annual inspection by the Eugene fire department, according to L. A. Mangels, assistant dean of men. Man gels explained that the houses may be closed if any hazards are found by the fire marshal. queror and conquered. They felt that it infringed Japan's sovereignty by granting the United States too free a hand. The new treaty reaffirms the right of the United States to retain limited forces and bases in Japan but gives the Japanese a bigger voice in their disposition and use. It is similar to the agreements un der which the United States maintains bases and troops in the NATO countries. The pact requires the Unit ed States to consult with the Japanese before using any of the forces for military action anywhere except in Korea, where United Nations ar rangements are still in effect. Kishi and a group of aides will remain here until Jan. 21, when they go to Canada. In addition to signing the new treaty, Kishi will confer with Eisenhower and Secre tary of State Christian A. Her ter on . closer economic and other relations between the two former enemy countries, which found their post-war destinies closely linked. Visiis 18 Years Apart Kishi's historic Washington visit comes slightly more than 18 years after another Japan ese mission which eventually led to disaster. It was in late November 1941 that Saburo Kurusu arrived for "negotia tions" which merely camou flaged his country's decision to attack the United States. Kurusu spun out his talks with the late Franklin D. Roo sevelt and his secretary of state, Cordell Hull, until the militarists had perfected their arrangements to strike at Pearl Harbor. He was still talking peace when the first Japanese bombs fell. For Kishi, who 12 years ago was awaiting trial as a war criminal in a U.S. Army prison in Japan, the new treaty represents final justifi cation of his determination to link his country's future with that of the United States. Kishi and a number of sec ondary Japanese wartime leaders were released without trial in December 1948. Kishi inherited his pro-American determination from former Premier Shigeru Yo shida and a succession of con servative governments which successfully fought off leftist pressure in post-war Japan. Wins Good Terms Yoshida won a generous peace treaty from the United States and its allies but the terms of the provisional secur ity pact have rankled. The United States at pres ent has about 65,000 troops in Japan. The U.S. Fifth Air Force is based there, as is the 1st Marine Air Wing. Ele ments of the U.S. Seventh Fleet use naval bases at Yo kosuka and Sasebo. The American government consistently has urged Japan to build up her own military forces. But the "anti-war" constitution which General Douglas MacArthur had writ ten for the defeated nation took deep roots in many sec tions of the populace. . . Japan now has "self - de fense" forces which consist of an army of about 180,000 men.an air force with about 600 planes and a navy which is essentially a coast guard.
