Home said his group has asked
for a meeting with a sub-commit­
tee of. the cabinet to seek more
effective enforcement of the act.
The survey, conducted by the
federation’ and the Vancouver

Rights, showed these alleged vio­

TOKYO. — Left-Wing groups,
spearheaded by the Socialists,
Communists and Sohyo, the 3,500,000-member general council
of trade unions, have renewed de­

of U.S. Forces to prevent a repe­

these routine demands and ges­

biggest newspapers that , the
shooting indicated “a sense of
racial superiority.”
