KAMAKURA, Japan In
1495 the peoples of Europe
were stirred about stories of
a new world which Chris
topher Columbus ships had
found. But in Kamakura
the local story was that a
tidal wave had swept the
great bronze Buddha from its
base, destroyed the temple,
and left only a few alive to
mourn.
The statue of Anita Bud
dha had been there since it
was cast in 1852, paid for by
donations from the people.
It weighs an astonishing
274.42s pounds, and rises A
feet from the base on which
it now rests.
On a Sunday afternoon,
the abbot of Kotokuin tenn
pie, where the Buddha sits
in serene meditation, sat on
a cushion on the sweet
smelling tatami (matting) of
his charming house and
talked to visitors who sat
around in a circle like so
many disciples. Abbot MitSuo
Sato is also professor Of
Buddhist philosophy at the
Buddhist TaiSho University
in Tokyo. Clad in a blue
brocaded robe with a short
mantle Of heavily brocaded
gold and blue about his
shoulders, he made a dis

Krishna Menon is a bril-

path to the premiership.
According to those who
have carefully studied the
situation in that vast coun-
try. Krishna Menon is I'M
duly optimistic in counting
on the army'S support. The
Indian officer corps is an
elite group composed in great
number of Sikhs and Gurkas.
1t is well known that they
intensely dislike the taciturn
and extremely pro-Commu-
mist Secretary of Defense.
Even the coup at Goa, in
tended to enhance the ma
tional figure Of Mr.. Nehru's
protege, failed to change the
dislike of the officers for the
Secretary of Defense. British
tradition of strong discipline
prevails in the Indian Army
to an even greater measure
than in Britain today. The
enlisted men blindly obey
their officers, and they don't
like Krishna Menon.
1t is true that in the two
years Krishna Menon has

One other omen which

ALGIERS, Aug. 4 (AP).-
Left-leaning Ahmed Ben Bella
readied new moves in his drive
to power today after receiving
a hero's acclaim in the capital
of this month-old nation.
The 46-year-old Ben Bella,
who has a reputation for ia
voring extreme methods, has
more than three weeks to pre-
pare ground for a definite
takeover.
The political bureau which
Mr.. Ben Bella dominates has
the task of preparing national
elections for August 81, con-
verting the National Liberation
Front (FLN into a political
party and studying reform of
the troublesome army.
Rides in Triumph
Mr.. Ben Bella spent the
night in a swank villa on the
heights overlooking Algiers. He
was the only hero of Algiers.
Crowds surged in the streets
late into the night, chanting
his name and setting off fire
crackers. Troops guarding Of
ficial buildings fired subma-
chine gun volleys into the air.
Mr.. Ben Bella faced his po-
litical enemies after a tri-
umphant 12-mile ride from the
MaiSon Blanche Airport to the
regional administration build
ing on AlgierS waterfront.
When Mr.. Ben Bella, Premier
Ben Youssef Ben Khedda and
other ministers appeared on a
balcony before a crowd jam
ming the waterfront boule-
ward, only one roar was heard:
"Ya hya Ben Bella" Gong
live Ben Bella.)
In the Casbah, slogans
painted on the walls and post
ers still proclaimed down with
the cult of personality"
But already Ben Bella's
photographs were sold and
youths carried them high over
their heads as they marched
through the streets.
Mr.. Ben Khedda's govern
ment will continue to function
although the administrative, fl
nancial and economic matters
will be in the hands of the
French-appointed provisional
executive.
