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.
Student Stabs Asanuma
Asanuma, an outspoken
foe of the U.S.-Japan military
, pact and friendly toward
Communist China, was stab
bed to death before the eyes
of Ikeda and about 1,000 oth
er horrified persons during a
political rally here Wednes
day night. His assassin was a
17-year-old ultra-nationalist
itudent, Otoya Yamaguchi. 1
The Communists and other
leftists quickly seized on the
Lebanon Youth
Hunting Victim
Lebanqn (UPD Orrin Duane
Gerig, 17, Lebanon, became
Oregon's fourth gunshot fa
tality of the hunting season
Wednesday, when he was ac
cidentally shot and killed
about eight miles northeast
of Lebanon.
According to Linn county
sheriff's officers, Gerig and
Kenneth Moore, 15, also of
Lebanon, had gone hunting
and decided to split up after
they saw a deer. The Moore
youth said he fired after
spotting a buck deer and then
heard his companion cry out,

and Mrs. C. E. Gerig, route

springboard for the national
elections expected in mid-
November. A victory for the
Socialists 1 could jeopardize
the military alliance between
the United States and Japan.
i n e influential J a d a n
Times said the slaying "may
pernaps obscure issues which
call for calm and careful con
sideration" by the voters. 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.
