Jap Premier Wins
First Confidence Vote
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Nov. 29.-Premier Tetsu
Katayama, a Social Democrat, won
tacit vote of confidence by q
narrow 50-vote margin in the House
of Representatives today during the
first test of strength with his in
creasingly influential conservative
opponents.
With typical Japanese indirection,
the test came on nonconhdence
resolution directed against Suehiro
Nishio, chief cabinet secretary and
strong man" of the cabinet and the
Social Democratic Party.
The government coalition-which
includes the Democratic Party
defeated the motion, 179 to 129.
There were 1876 abstentions.
The Liberal Party. the Govern
ment's main opposition, introduced
the motion in contending that
Nishio violated parliamentary prac-
tice by attempting to route a bill
for limited state control of coal
mines directly to the House floor,
bypassing the Mining Committee.
The controversial bill was defeated
in committee but passed by the
plena1y session and sent to the
House Of Councillors.
Meanwhile, Katayama denied be-
fore the House councillors that a
secret underground government"
existed in Japan.
