Japanese Premier In Subdued Mood
As Washington Talks Get Under Way
Sato’s rule 2nd Longest

WASHINGTON.—Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato arrived here
Monday for a week-long visit aimed at winning final agreement
for the return of U.S.-controlled Okinawa to Japan by 1972.
The premier, whose departure from Tokyo was marked by
widespread demonstrations against him and the U.S., appeared
in a subdued mood as he prepared for talks with President Nixon
starting Wednesday.
He expressed confidence that his visit would prove fruitful,
but a carefully-worded arrival statement reflected the gap to be
bridged.
He spoke of his earnest desire to solve the Okinawa problem
without predicting that the future of American nuclear weapons
on the strategic Pacific island would be decided under conditions
acceptable to Japanese public------------------------------------------------------------—

World Jr. Lightweight Title Holder
Decisive Winner In Fourth Defense

TOKYO. Hiroshi Kobayashi of Japan recently
made good use of his left hand and right cross
and pounded out a unanimous 15-round decision

time.
American referee Nick Pope, a U.S. department
of army civilian, scored it 75-63 and Japanese
judges Ken Morita and Yusaku Yoshida 75-63 and
/5-65 all for Kobayashi.

sters between 1874 and 1887, there
was a strong liberal movement
