PREMIER TAKES
NIPPON'S REINS
Shidehara Will Try To
' Form Cabinet For
Hirohito
TOKYO, Oct. 8 (JP) The
trembling old hands of Baron
Kljuro Shidehara, who fought
Japanese military aggression
from its start, today picked up
the reins of Japanese govern
ment which ho said he hopes
to make truly liberal.
Th e 73-ycar-old enfeebled
baron was summoned dramati
cally from 14 years of retire
ment, forced upon him by the
militarists whom he opposed, to
become premier of Japan at its
most critical point In history.
Resignations
He promised Emperor Hiro
hito to "do my best" to form a
cabinet that would meet with
the approval of allied occupa
tion authorities. Ex-Premier
Prince Hlgashi-Kuni and the
first ppst-war cabinet resigned
en bloc yesterday because they
were unable to put into effect
sweeping measures designed to
substitute democratic freedom
for feudalism in Japan.
Shldehara's first official act
was to reappoint Shigeru Yo
shida as foreign minister, Domci
reported. Yoshlda, who had
stepped out with the Higashi
Kuni cabinet, was said to have
accepted the reappointment.
The new premier announced
that he expected to complete his
cabinet within two or three days.
u , . .To See-MacArthur ,
Shidehara was Invested by the
emperor at 1:22 p. m. (8:22 p.
m. Friday, PST).
American and J a p an e s e
sources said tho new premier
was expected o call on General
MacArthur at the first "suitable
opportunity," but probably not
until after cabinet appointments
are completed.

the navy said today, as they tried

A naval spokesman said intel

Little was Known of the Chi

to lead them to safety, but in

Twelve pickers walked out of
