Premier from keeping an ap-
pointment with Mr.. Hagerty-
an appointment Mr.. KiShi de-
MED having.
The mob roared and chanted
for Mr.. Kishi to come out. Like
all other leftiSt elements in
Japan-and some conservatives
they want the Premier to re-
sign and dissolve Parliament
to void the new United States
Japan security alliance before
it becomes law June 19.
Mr.. Hagerty was cloSeted
earlier in the day with foreign
ministry officials repeatedly
making drastic revisions in Mr..
Eisenhower's japanese Sched-
ule June 1922, with the en-
phasis on providing more Secu-
rity for the President.
e Changes planned, to insure
the Presidents safety, include
canceling of a golf match with
Mr.. Kishi. A news conference
also was reported out and the
Presidents speech at Parlia-
ment is expected to be Cancelled.
' Many japanese object to the
pact and the United States
military bases it authorizes on
grounds they may involve Ja-
pan in an EaSt-West war.
They oppose Mr.. Eisenhower's
visit because they feel it
strengthens Mr.. Kishi.
Friday the police admitted
they had been caught by sur
prise without enough men at
the airport, prompting fears
about the ability of Japanese
security forces to control leftist
crowds when Mr.. Eisenhower
arrives.
Mr.. Kishi has guaranteed
his safety. but there have been
expressions of concern in
Washington and here, where
many Japanese friendly to
America have urged that the
trip be Cancelled.
The demonstrating continued /
into the night in a setting of
candle-lit lanterns.

Saturdays protest began near
Parliament with a clash be-
tween 500 students Of Zenga-
kuren-the same organization
that battered Mr.. Hagerty's car
and bus load of Mr.. Kishi's
conservative Liberal Democrats.
The students surged around
the vehicle, tore open a door,
poked and jabbed the occupants
with sticks then hauled out and
beat three before help rescued
them. They were not seriously
hurt.
AS a show of strength for
the benefit of Mr.. Hagerty, the
sponsoring Peoples Council
against the Security Pact, often
called a Com m unist front,
boasted that 10000 demon
strators would take part today.
They have threatened to smash
their way into the Parliament
grounds, invade Mr.. Kishi's
residence and rally in front Of
the United States Embassy.
Mr.. Hagerty met with For
