Ambassador Mauricio Nabuco
with all arrangements made to
sail from this country on the 14th
for a three months stay in his
native land and with a line drawn
through his Capital calendar from
the end of this week on, has can
celled his sailing because of the
new turn in world affairs. He will
definitely be in the United States
for Christmas. Looks as though
this distinguished envoy has only
to start on a vacation for some
thing catastrophe to happen;
the last time he took off from
Washington the Korean war broke
out.

It was his government. backed

There was no indication of
trouble or violence, and no par

quarters indicated the Reds were
taking advantage Of the holiday.
There were only q few persons
around their drab, gray build
ing which flaunts q dove of peace
across its front.
Under q leaden. rain-threaten-

light. Election officials predict

A heavy downpour Of rain
started in late mogning and
threatened to continue. That
was expected to further reduce
the voting.
Observers predicted an unusu-
ally light turnout might reduce
the vote of Yoshida's Liberals
more than it would other parties.
II the Liberals can hold their
own against all corners in the
number of upper house seats, the
Communist drive viii have failed.
The Red campaign blasts were
fired at Yoshida as well as the
United States.
Arrest of 8 Protested.
The Communists had called the
demonstrations to protest the ar
rest OF eight Japanese accused Of
assaulting five American soldiers
at Red rally in downtown Tokyo
on Memorial Day.
On the very day Of the sched-
uled demonstrations, an occupa-
ton court convicted all eight and
gave them stiff sentences, ranging
from five to 10 years imprison-
ment.

ese. freshly impressed by the show
OF firmness against threats Of vio-
lence, will elect 1872 members of

There are $50 candidates.
The Red flasco is expected to
cost the Communists some Of the
popular vote they had expected.
The party has been unusually ac-
tive in the campaign. The Com
munists have so candidates.
