Japanese Security Chief Forced Out By Demonstrators Tokyo UPU Violent left- wing and Communist protests over the assassination of So cialist party Chairman Ine Jiro Asanuma forced the resignation of Japan's secur ity chief today and threat ened the stability of the gov ernment itself. Two thousand policemen armed with clubs and pistols and backed up by a dozen armored trucks scattered groups of fanatical Zengaku ren students who tried to mount new demonstrations outside Parliament and Pre mier Hayato Ikeda's home. By threatening arrests and ordering the demonstrators to "keep moving" they hoped to head off a buildup to the type of massive bloody riots that forced cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit last June and ultimately led : to the resignation of Premier Nobusuke Kishi. Ikeda, hoping to escape the same fate, met with his cabi net and accepted the resigna tion of his anti-Communist Itate police minister, Iwao Yamazaki. The security chief was a member of the prewar jingoist "Political Friends Association"- and was purged from politics by U.S. occupa tion authorities.

It urged the government to take measures to prevent political terrorism from again becom ing a major factor in Japan's political life. Other news papers expressed similar worry. Many Reported Injured In an announcement follow ing the emergency cabinet meeting, Ikeda declared that political terrorism is the "enemy of democracy" and warned he would use riot po lice to deal with all demonstrators. At least 82 persons were reported injured in clashes Wednesday night between po lice and leftists in the wake of Asanuma's death. The demonstrations were led by fanatical Zengakuren s t u- dents who spearheaded the riots which blocked Eisen hower's visit. Socialists and members of the leftist Sohyo labor union also participated in the demonstrations. The . mobs tried first to break- through a police cor don around the police station where Yamaguchi was being questioned. He had twice stabbed Asanuma in the chest as he stood on the stage ad dressing the rally. They then marched on Ikeda s residence and pelted it with rocks be fore being driven off by police.
