Late Premier Of Japan Dies TOKYO, June 27 (IP) Yosuke Matsuoka, the one-time foreign minister who formally linked Japan with the axis, died early today with "great regrets" that he could not defend himself in the international war crimes court. The disease-wasted Univer sity of Oregon graduate real ized for days that death was near, and frequently told his eldest son, Kenichiro, that he had many things to say to the court a defense that probably never will be told in full. War crimes charged against him were officially withdrawn after his death. Tuberculosis, which brought his death at 66 in unkempt. odorous Tokyo' Imperial univer sity hospital, first afflicted him in 1941 upon his return from Europe with a Soviet neutral ity pact. German Gestapo Chief Alfred Meisinger said Matsuoka obtained the treaty by revealing to Stalin nazi plans for attack ing Russia. It was the high point of his career for Matsuoka, who loved the limelight and worshipped power. He was removed from office as foreign minister in 1941, and sank quickly into dis ease-ridden obscurity, his health broken during the strenuous months in power.
