Hatoyama Reelected
Prime Minister, but
7 Aides Are Beaten

TOKYO, Mar. IS. - Ichiro
Hatoyama was reelected Prime
Minister late tonight by the new
Diet (Parliament) after a coali-
ton of rival conservatives and
Socialists defeated his candi-
dates for speaker and vice
speaker of the powerful Lower
House.
Mr.. Hatoyama's reelection
never was in serious doubt, but
former Prime Minister Shigeru
Yoshida's conservative Liberal
Party teamed up with both right
and left wing Socialists to make
inroads on Mr.. Hatoyama's con-
troll of the Diet.
Mr.. Yoshida thus was repay
ing in kind the coaliGiva which
Mr.. Hatoyama's equally conserv-
alive Democrats formed with the
Socialists last fall when they
toppled the Yoshida cabinet.
MIR. Hatoyama received 254
votes. Left Socialist Mosaburo
Suzuki got 100. Four of the Alb
Diet members present cast blank
ballots.
After the surprising LIBERAL
Socialist coalition blocked in
stallation of Hatoyama heuten-
ants in the key house positions.
the Diet recessed. delaying a vote
on prime minister. It resumed
after Liberal party officials said
they would go down the line for
Mr.. Hatoyama. as they had
pledged.
The depth of the split that
developed over the speakers of
the house still could not be deter
mined.

Easing Of Court Jam
Seen Here in Shifting
OF Non-District Case

Overcrowded Federal Court
dockets here are expected to be
eased somewhat through an
opinion by Judge Matthew F.
MCGUIRE. upheld yesterday by
the United States Court Of
Appeals for the District Of Co
lumbia.
Judge MCGUIRE had dismissed
a damage case, stemming from
an auto accident in Maryland.
just over the District line. All
principals in the case also lived
in nearby Maryland.
Judge Mcclure, at the time,
declared:
This is a controversy between
two citizens of the Free State OF
Maryland. We have a congested
docket here and there is no
reason why this case cannot be
resolved in Maryland. ;"
Public Interest Cited
In unfolding Judge MCGUIRE,
the Appellate Court stated:
ut is almost a truism that a
plaintiffs choice of a forum
(place of hearing) will rarely
be disturbed and, so far as the
private interests of the litigants
are concerned, it will not be
unless the balance OF conven-
fence is strongly in favor OF the
defendant. Such considerations
were urged upon the trial judge
in this case, and it cannot be
doubted that a trial in this
district might have proved
equally convenient to parties and
witnesses. But the public in
terest may also be taken into
account, and it's is clear that
this aspect weighed heavily in
the District Courts evaluation
of the overall problem"
Judge Mcguire had pointed
up the problems involved in the
bringing of suits to the District
by residents of nearby States.
This often is done because one
or both of the parties prefer a
metropolitan jury.
Problem of Pile-up
Judge Mcclure declared:
Administrative difficulties fol-
low for courts when litigation is
piled up in congested centers of
being handled at its origin. Jury
duty is a burden that ought not
to be imposed upon the people
of a community which has no
relation to the litigation.

CT home loans guaranteed by
Ieterans Administration ave
passed the 100000 mark in num-
Der and $50 billion in original
principal amount, VA announced.
More than $1,000 home loans

total made by private lenders
since the beginning Of the CT loan
program in 1914 to 4,017, 54S loans,
amounting to $3O,273.322 900.
VA said the 100000 veterans
of World War II and the Korean
conflict period who received the
loans represent nearly % percent
of the 18,500,000 veterans who are
eligible for CT home loans.
VA also reported that nearly Is
percent of the 100000 loans, OF
1876 amounting to more than
81 billion, have been repaid in full

only 22,934 defaulted home loans
proving that veterans have turned
out to be excellent credit risks
The number of claims paid by VA
amounts to slightly over one-halt
of one percent of the 100000
loans guaranteed.
World War II veterans have I'M
til July Is, 1857 to obtain CT loans

flict period have until February l,
