where it was referred to the
Foreign Affairs Committee. There
was no indication when it would
be brought out for a final vote,
but no serious opposition was in
sight.
The pact calls for Japan to
pay $3.50 million in goods and
services over a 20-year period
and to lend the Philippines $3.50
million during the same time.
1t paves the way for the end of
the l1-year technical state of

emphasized heavily in Japan
since the wartime bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
particularly since the 1854 Bikini
H-bomb test busted" the fish
ing boat Lucky Dragon and its
crew of % Japanese.
The latest wave of fallout
stems from the current nuclear
weapon tests the United States
is conducting in the Bikini atoll,
1900 miles southeast of Japan.
The first test explosion at
Bikini this year occurred May
S. and an May 81 a hydrogen
bomb was dropped there. Last
Monday the Tokyo central
weather station reported atmos-
pheric pressure readings in
dicated another hydrogen blast
had been set off. The United
States Atomic Energy Commits
sion has neither confirmed nor
denied this.
The announcement that the
United States would conduct
the tests touched off a rash Of
protest meetings and petitions
in Japan. The tempo of the re-
action stepped up as the test
date approached, undeterred by
American assurances that the
testing site was sufficiently re-
mote to insure dissipation of the
radioactive particles before they
reached populated areas.
Japanese scientists maintain
a constant check on radioactivity
in the local rainfall, with the
results published almost daily.
The reports show a level of
radioactivity below the danger
level, but this hasn't stopped
local apprehension.
Asahi said fear of radioactive
rain" was widespread and each
rainfall in recent days has
brought a deluge of telephone
calls to authorities. The news
paper reported these develop
ments.
A grammar school in Kyoto
prefecture has started teaching
students how to use umbrellas
to prevent being wet by radio
active rain" Osaka merchants
have sold nearly 100000 rain
coats. One hat shop has put
Iup a big advertisement. Lets
protect our heads from radio
active rain"
