Scandinavia offered some com­
parisons that are guaranteed to

Norway and Denmark.
“Scandinavian men are gentle
and kind. Their charm puts Ja­
panese men to shame. Their man­
ners are natural and refined.”
They go on to say,/‘Men over
there treat women with respect.
There’s just no comparison with
Japanese men because Japanese
men are so rude and tyrannical.”

NC ON

LO S ANGELE S .—In a tri a 1
that ended sooner than expected,
one defendent was freed and the
other found guilty of involun­
tary manslaughter in the Richard
Sumii death case last week at
Los Angeles Superior Court.
Deeming insufficient evidence
for conviction, Judge Clement D.
Nye adjudged Takeshi Masuka­
wa not guilty of complicity in the
death of Sumii on the night of
April 18 at the Chinatown dance.
Yamashiro, who was alleged to
have fired the shot killing Sumii,
was found guilty of involuntary
manslaughter, and according to
court officials faces a one to ten
year prison sentence.
The involuntary manslaughter
verdict, in effect, deems that Ya­
mashiro did not mean to kill Su­
mii. Also his lack of convictions
in his record in the past proved
favorable according to reliable
sources. Sentence is to be handed
down bv Judge Nye on August
14Mostly young people were in
the crowd. There were about
twenty Japanese boys, eight girls,
and a sprinkling of colored and
Mexican youths.

Yoko Tani Sexier
Than B. Bardot
LONDON, England. — Movie
critics hailed Japanese actress
Yoko Tani recently as the new
queen of moxuedom’s glamour
girls.
The critics lauded Yoko for her
performance in “The Wind Can­
not Read,” her first English lan­
guage picture.
The London Daily Sketch’s
Ronald Highman said Miss Tani
is sexier than Brigitte Bardot,
the French bombshell.
Most of the critics said the Japanese actress stole the show
from the English Dirk Bogarde
who has outshone almost every
girl star in the business that he
has played opposite.
“Minor Miracle,” said the Lon­
don Daily Herald’s Anthony Car­
them. “The film belongs to Yoko

Motor Cars to Feature
Japan Exhibit at CNE
Occupying- considerable more
space than in former years. Ja­
pan's exhibit will be a striking
feature of this year's Canadian
National Exhibition at Toronto,
from Aug. 20 to Sept. 6. Displays
that will .present various aspects
of Japanese life arid a cross-sec­
tion of Japanese quality pro­
ducts will occupy more than half
of die north wing of the Govern­
ments Building at the Dufferin
Gate.
The Japanese section will be
shared by the. Japanese External
Trade Recovery Organization and
the Japan Tourist Association.
Working
through the Japan
Trade Centre in Toronto, J ETRO
is bringing from across the Paci­
fic a wide range of the best of
Japanese manufactured goods.
For the first time, Canadians
will have an opportunity to sec
at first hand two of the. most
famous of Japanese motor cars,
the Toyopet and the Datsun. At
the entrance to the exhibit there
will be a room, furnished in the
pleasing- simple fashion that is
distinctive of the best in Japa­
nese taste. Well-informed atten­
dants will be on duty to answer
inquiries and to offer informa­
tion.
The Japan Tourist Association
booth has been designed by the
noted Japanese architect, Iwao
Yamawaki. It is marked by the'
simplicity, both in decor and fur­
nishings, typical of the best Ja­
panese taste. At one end of the
booth there will be traditional
“stone garden”, consisting of fine
white pebbles imported from Ja­
pan.
The booth will display colored
transparency views of scenic Ja­
pan; a colorful map of North
America and the Pacific, indicat­
ing various routes to Japan; and
examples of traditional Japanese
craftsmanship, such as containers
for sake (rice wine), utensils
used in the famed tea serving
ceremony, fans and umbrellas.
Members of the Toronto staff of
the J.T.A. will be on duty to pro­

vide information for potential
visitors to Japan.
A gigantic display of Japanesemade fireworks will take place
the night of August 29. The fire­
works will be set off from a
barge away from the shore of
Lake Ontario, in order that the
crowds who line the embankment
may readily see them in comfort
and with safety. In the event of
rain, this special display will
take place on the night of August.
30. The time will be from .10 to
10:30 p.m.
