"Madford't Horn laundry Specialists" i . 406 E. Main St. Phone SP 2-5302 - the election, held Sunday, as a "mandate from the Japanese people to continue close tics with the free world based on the' U. S. Japan security treaty.". The election also reflected the fact that Japan is riding a wave of prosperity, and the Ikeda government has chart. ed an . economic course which it said will double the na tion's income within the next decade. The Socialists claimed "moral victory" on the basis of their gains and a party spokesman called on the Lib- eral-Dcmocrats to "become aware of the spectacular gains of the neutralists In Japan." Among the Socialists elect ed was Mrs. Kyoko Asanuma, widow of Inejiro Asanuma, Socialist party chairman who was slain by a right-wing fa natic at a political rally last month. The teen-age slabber later committed suicide in jail. Win Reelection Ikeda and his predecessor, former Prime Minister Nobu sukc Kishi, were reelected easily. The Socialists had cam paigned on a platform calling for abolition of the U. S. Jnpan security treaty and adoption of neutralism as Ja pan's foreign policy. It was Socialist agitation at the time of the revision of the U. S.-Japan security i treaty that sparked the wild ami government riots. These led to cancellation of President Elsenhower's trip to Japan last June and resignation of Kislil as premier and ulti mately were the reasons for the elections Sunday.

Laurls E. Norstad, supreme commander of NATO forces In Europe, proposed today that a pool of nuclear weapons be set up for the alliance with each of the 15 member countries having an equal voice in control of their use. Only the United States and Britain could supply nuclear weapons to such a pool. U.S. law would have to be amend ed to carry out the Norstad plan. His proposal was made at the afternoon session of the first day of the sixth annual conference of NATO Parlia mentarians after Vice Presi dent elect Lyndon Johnson assured the 200 delegates that the "new leadership" of the United States would continue all-out support of the Atlantic alliance. Norstad addressed delegates from 14 of the 15 member na tions. Turkey was not repre sented apparently because of still-developing internal po litical problems. ' French Ask Unity In other developments, the parliamentarians: -Heard an address of wel come by French Premier Michel Debre in which he called for greater unity and "military solidarity" In the alliance to meet the "perma nent menace of communism, which is taking advantage of the emergence of underde veloped countries." Debre also said that France Is "a strong partisan of increased coopera tion" with all Its Atlantic partners. -Were told by Norwegian Foreign Minister H a 1 v a r d Lange that success or failure of NATO In the future would depend upon how it regulated its relations with under-de- veloned countries. Sen. Johnson's remarks fol lowed Debre's welcome ad dress. In a speech cleared in ad vance by President-elect Ken nedy, he called on the Norm Atlantic Treaty Organization lo direct more of its energies into the cultural and economic battle against Communism. He said the change in the administration decided by the U.S. electorate was "in no sense a repudiation" of Ameri ca's military alliances . Johnson emphasized that he was speaking strictly as "parliamentarian" and that until next January "the full and sole executive authority remains with the administra tion of President Eisenhower himself." But the delegates were ex pected to interpret his speech as an indication of the future alliance policy of the admin istration of President - elect Kennedy. A spokesman for Johnson said Kennedy had read and approved the speech in advance. "Beyond mutual military purposes we can do much more to implement concepts of economic progress and so cial gain," Johnson told the conference. He paid high tribute to President Eisenhower, declar ing "he will leave public of fice with the continuing re spect, trust and esteem of all his countrymen without re gard to domestic partisan ship." Refers To Elections In a reference to the signifi cance for America's Allies of the U.S. presidential elections, Johnson said: "Our recent elections have resulted In new leadership. In no sense is that a repudiation of President Eisenhower's sup port for the instruments of mutual strength in Western Europe. "A new generation of Amer icans - who came to early maturity fighting for freedom on the fields of Europe and the islands of the Pacific - is coming to power in the leader ship of our land. "In their hearts is a deter mination to make the most vigorous use of America's re sources and capacities to as sure their children, your chil dren, and the children of all nations, a life without war - a future of peace. "The voice of isolation is stilled in America, Each party - each section - speaks now with one voice for more effec tive participation in more meaningful joint endeavors among nations for universal peace, freedom and justice." Johnson arrived in Paris Sunday for the conference on key problems confronting the NATO alliance. The confer ence will adopt recommenda tions to the NATO govern ments on such issues as: world wide extension of NATO re sponsibilities; Western politi cal, economic and psychologi cal tactics in relation to the East-West struggle; free world relations with the uncommit ted nations; and assistanc to under-developed nations.
