Tachi says. "Now, many midwives
are unemployed"
In 1851 the federal government
supported birth control education.
The prewar militarist government
had opposed birth control-more
babies meant more soldiers and
workers.
In 1852, the Diet approved a
eugenics protection law permitting
abortions to safeguard a woman'S
life, to prevent transmission Of
serious hereditary diseases, but
also for health and economic
reasons"
THE Interpretation Of this is
very elastic" Tachi remarks.
Immediately after World War II,
many women had abortions, but
they were not legal, and they
were expensive and dangerous. Yet
many families wanted to control
their number of children for
economic reasons"
Medical Societies Role
Legal abortions are performed
by gynecologistS named by local
medical societies. The usual fee is
1000 yen-about $3-but it may
be only 300 yen $50 cents If a
woman or her husband is employed
in an industrial company offering
health insurance.
Doctors reported 1,128,231 legal
abortionS in 1858, figure slightly
under the peak total of 1855.
There are almost no deaths"
Tachi says. Nov the physicians
instruct their patients in birth
control, to help them avoid re-
peated abortionS.

The quiz show, which has lost
its flavor for most United States
audiences. is enjoying a lively re-
vival at the hands Of the Russian
propagandists.
Every night an announcer for
Radio Moscow. standing before
a shortwave microphone beamed
at North America, Africa, or
Europe, poses such questions as:
Which was the first Arab coun-
try to establish diplomatic rela-
tions with the USSR and in what
year?
Who is the Soviet delegate who
insisted in the Security Council
on the evacuation Of British and
French forces from Syria and
Lebanon?
The listeners inclination, If he
knows the answers, to mail them
in is encouraged by the an
nouncer's offer of such prizes as
radios, monographs, refrigerators
and cameras. One such contest,
beamed toward the Middle East,
drew more than 5000 replies from
Arab listeners and led to the dis
tribution of some $50 prizes.
Prize: Trovel in Russio
Last year an Englishman named
Leonard Major from Leicester
shire won top prize in a Radio
Moscow contest involving a quiz
on Soviet life and a short essay
on the Soviet transportation sys-
TEN. He was awarded an expense
free holiday including Jet travel
through Russia. The Soviets also
awarded three second prizes of
silver tea sets and six third prizes
of long-playing albums Of Rus
sian music. Every listener who
participated received a consola-
ton prize.
These propaganda quiz shows
made their appearance about four
years ago at the height of the
guessing game craze in America.
The Soviets have been so pleased
with the impact of their contests
that they have tended to increase
their number and to make the
prizes richer.
On the launching of the Soviet
sputniks, Radio Moscow initiated
three contests: One for reception
Of the satellites radio signal,
another for visual observance Of
the satellite, and the third for the
best article, essay or short story
about the sputnik.

TOKYO-Cramped for living
space, the japanese are winning
a struggle to control their explo-
Sivelly growing population.
Birth control and legalized
abortions are turning the tide.
AbortionS cost only 80 cents to
SO, or sometimes SIS. More than q
million are performed each year.
Last year. for every three infants
born. two wives had abortionS.
Many Japanese are not happy
about the high abortion rate, says
Minoru Tachi, director of the in
stitute of population problems in
the welfare ministry. It's hoped
many abortionS can be avoided
through greater spread of birth
control information.
Today Japan is the only ma
ton in Asia, and one of the few
anywhere, which has checked its
fast-rising birth rate. Worldwide,
population still is increasing by
about 100000 daily.
looming population created
particularly serious problems for
Japan, a nation of already-crowd-
ed islands hard hit by war devas-
tation and unemployment.
Population Figures
In 1945, Japan had 70 million
people. Today it is 80 million, a 80
per cent increase. Total popula-
ton would perhaps be 100 million
or more if it were not for birth
control measures adopted seven to
eight years ago. Tachi explains.
Now Japan's population is
growing at the rate of only l per
cent a year, and Tachi thinks it
soon will go even lower.
Japan had a baby boom right
after the war, as did other coun-
tries. Births scared to 2,700.000 a
year in 1947-49, a rate of "a births
per 1000 population. Today it's
about half that figure, 18 per
1000, compared with Is in the
United States.

The Percy Reports

The 40-man Committee on Pro-
gram and Progress stressed, how
ever, that it means "non-violent
emancipation" In one of its four
reports on what the G. o. P.'s
long-range goals should be, the
committee, headed by Charles H.
Percy, president of the Bell &
Howell (camera) Co. of Chicago,
said last week:
"Our policy in relation to Com
munist satellites is emancipation
achieved not by the use of force
from without, but primarily by the
appeal of freedom to the minds
of men everywhere"
The G. o. P. committee was ap-
pointed last March by Meade Al
corn, then the party's national
chairman. It's reports and recon-
mendations, emphasizing dynamic
conservatism" are expected to
form a basis for the 1860 party
platform.
Among the recommendations
the panel has made are these:
The Recommendations
1. An annual Federal expendi-
ture of $50 billion by 1875 for
Americas scientific expansion.
This, together with private capital
outlays, could help provide life
of physical ease for 237 million
America as machines handled
the druo! ! Of production.
2. The United States must re-
main strong militarily in order to
maintain the peace.
3. More trade with the Soviet
block-in consumer goods-could
help melt the ice of the cold war
and promote demands for more
freedom for the individuals living
under the Communist system.
4. The United Nations should
form an emergency military force
for use in the event of crises.
On the matter of trade with
the Communist bloc, Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York de-
clared last week that the West
must insist that the Soviet first
agree to bar the dumping of COM
modities and cease price discrimi-
nations between customers.
