William Fulbright urged the Senate to day to ratify the U. S.-Japa-nese security treaty as part of this country's "urgent mis sion" of protecting non-Com munist nations from war or external domination. The Arkansas Democrat opened debate on the pact which is expected to be ap proved by the Senate before nightfall and scut to President Eisenhower in Hawaii for his quick signature'. Comments on Riots Commenting on the Tokyo riots which forced cancella tion of Eisenhower's trip to Japan, Fulbright said opposi tion to the treaty was "whipped up by the Sino-So-vict bloc," and sustained "by a peculiarly crude arm-twisting diplomatic pressure." "Clearly the devision of this original security treaty is for our adversaries an event so inconsonant with their ob jectives as to dictate a maxi mum - indeed an exceptional -effort to prevent it happen ing," Fulbright said. He noted that opposition to the treaty in Japan has been a "source of deep concern in this country and elsewhere." He expressed the "decnesit hope" that Japan's Democratic ic institutions will suffer no permanent damage from t h e strains to which they are now being subjected. No Difficulty Seen The treaty was called un by Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas) who said he expected "no se rious difficulty" in winning approval. It was expected, however, that action on the treaty would be preceded by a far-' ranging political debate on U. S. policies in the Far East. Johnson told newsmen it, is "important that the world know we will neither acceler ate nor delay the treaty be cause of events in Japan."1 ' " Japanese Stage Strike Labor and leftist groups in Japan were currently staging ' a massive seven-hour nation wide strike and their leaders predicted massive demonstra tions in Tokyo in a last-gasp effort to block the final, for mal steps in the ratification process. Japanese ratification became automatic last Satur day. Before the treaty becomes an active instrument of con duct between Japan and the United States, it must be rati fied by the Senate and ap proved by the Japanese cab inet, signed by Eisenhower and the Japanese emperor, followed by a formal ex change of documents. Tualatin River Said Contaminated Portland -WPP.- The Oregon Journal said today that tests showed the Tualatin river was contaminated and not a safe place to swim.
