Continued From First Page

COntlnueo From First Page
they fear the stigma of Japan's
brutal prewar police. And the
government is even more re-
luctant to call out troops for
fear of acting like Japan's old
military masters.
But the opportunity now be-
fore the Communist world-a
Japan pushed preiously close
to revolution by a viloent
minority - may never come
again. 1t is exactly the type
of chaotic situation Commu-
nists deliberately foster as the
proper setting for a bid for
power.
The question remained as to
whether the Communists would
let this opportunity pass.
Cabinet Meets Twice
Mr.. Kishi was grim-faced as
he made the announcement to
waiting newSmen after presid-
ing over two emergency cabinet
sessions since midnight.
The 64-year-old politician,
whose government was shaken
by prolonged rioting against
renewal of the United States
Japanese security treaty and
Mr.. EiSenhower'S visit, said the
demonstrations were obvious,
premeditated violence planned
by the Communists"
ITO protect peace and free
dom and the future prosperity
of Japan, we must fight this
violence head on" he added.
But Mr.. KiShi gave no ground
on the leftists' chief demands
for dissolution Of Parliament
to nullify ratification Of the
defense pact so the voters could
accept or reject it in a general
election, and for his own resIg-
nation from Office.
The Prime Minister served
notice he would continue to
press for quick ratification of
the treaty and asserted:
Il will not resign or dissolve
Parliament until the security
pact is ratifled-I have said it
before and I will say it now"
Parliament to Stay
The pact originally would
have taken effect automatically
on Sunday, a month after Mr..
Kishis majority in the lower
house approved it. The Prime
Minister had planned to post
pone this by recessing Parlia- .
ment during Mr.. Eisenhower's ;
visit to ease the tension, but it !
appeared likely he now would
keep Parliament in session so j
the treaty would take effect as !
originally planned.
Already Moscow was Growing
over the governments action. ,
A Tass agency dispatch said:
by canceling the invitation {
to President Eisenhower, the
Kishi government actually ad- i
mitted its bankruptcy" I
The decision came as Tokyo
was threatened with another \
day Of leftwing violence.
Approximately $4,000 STU
dents and labor union members
renewed their demonstrations
this morning near the Parlia- {
ment building where one girl /
student was killed and more
than 1000 police and demon
Strators injured yesterday.
Down with Kish!" they
chanted in a driving rainstorm.
Demonstrators Jubilant
When they got the news that
the cabinet had withdrawn the l
invitation to Mr.. Eisenhower, a
they chanted in jubilation:
"EiSenhower'S not coming! {
Eisenhower's not coming!" "
AS Mr.. Kishi talked to the c
several hundred newsmen, the I
marchers snake danced through
the rain outside, chanting
Down with the treaty! Down
with Kishi!" Loudspeaker an r
nouncements of the cabinet e
decision brought cheers of
"banzai! (hurrah)." b
Three hundred helmeted po- I
lice guarded the front gates of b
Mr.. Kishi's official residence. 4
The Prime Minister and Off c
cials used the rear entrances. t
There were indications anti t
KiShi demonstrations would r
hit a new fever pitch between q
now and Sunday. I
Mr.. Kishi made the an r
nouncement before the request
to Mr.. Eisenhower was officially
received in Manila.
Ambassador Notified +
An Associated Press report I
Of the Kishi governments de- :
cision was handed to Mr.. !
Hagerty as Mr.. Eisenhower :
started to speak at a big pub Z
lie rally in Manila. Apparently
the President had no previous
knowledge of the report, and .
if Mr.. Hagerty told him at the =
conclusion of the speech, the !,
President showed no sign.
The formalities for calling T,
of the invitation were accom-
plished by Foreign Minister :
Aiichiro Fujiyama, who called :
United States Ambassador
Douglas Macarthur II to the
Foreign Office to notify him of
the cabinets decision.
Up to the second cabinet
meeting Mr.. Fujiyama had in
sisted to newSmen that Mr.. Eli
senhower would come to Tokyo =.
as planned. But 20 members of
his own conservative party, the
Liberal Democrats, cabled this
plea to Eisenhower at Manila:
