Draft Of New Japanese Constitution Strips Emperor Of Military Command But Allows Japan To Retain Throne TOKYO. Feb. 1 (Pi The eov- eminent has drafted tentatively new constitution stripping the emperor of his military command but specifying that Japan shall . retain the throne, the newspaper Mainichi said today. . Chief Cabinet Secretary Wa. taru Narahashi denied, however, that the constitutional revision published by Mainichi was the one which the government was considering. Mainichi's report might have been compiled from reference material, he told Kyodo news agency, but "it is entirely separate from the one being decided by the cabinet now." Omitted In the text quoted by Mainichi was the clause "the emDcror Is sacred and invi olable." There was little other change, however, in the first four articles dealing with the throne. The newspaper noted these other changes in tne proposed draft: . Legally Equal The Japanese people were de clared legally equal, and feudal ists rights of the few were eliminated. Freedom of religion was pro vided, and special rights given to Shinto shrines were aoonsnea. Rights and obligations of the people were recognized and the right and duty of every person to woric was estaoiisnea. Election of the house of repre sentatives by secret ballot was specified. Ministers were made respon sible to the diet instead of to the emperor,.and the diet was given the right to change the constitu tion. A deliberative body was "es tablished within the diet to con sider urgent imperial ordinances while the diet is not in session. The reported draft makes no reference to armed forces, and deletes present authorization of the emperor's command over the army and navy, and his right to declare martial law. Remains Sovereign The emperor remains sov ereign, although without his mil itary command and with no men tion .of his legendary divinity, Mainichi said. Kyodo news agency comment ed that the government "was dis regarding the trend of public opinion" in its revisions. Quot ing State Minister Joji Matsu moto as seeing no need for sharply altering imperial rule, Kyodo predicted "strong opposi tion from civilian quarters. All political groups except the pro gressive party, it added, hold that sovereignty rests with the people. Russia meanwhile nominated two jurists to represent her on the international tribunal which soon will try Japan's highest ranking war-crimes suspects. Named were Maj. Gen. of Justice I., M. Zaryanov, of the military collegium, supreme court; and Minister S. A. Golun sky, director of Judicial sciences. Japanese General Sentenced To Hang MANILA, Feb. 1 (IP) Jap anese Lt. Gen.
