The Reds are attempting to win the Japanese over to their principles by subtle propaganda methods aimed against the West.
In the recent elections, the Communists suffered a decline from 1949 in the number of votes cast for their candidates. They have now stepped up their propaganda program and are attempting to infiltrate vital organizations, particularly the labor movement.
Japan’s Anti-west Stand
Japan is developing a strong anti-West attitude, particularly against the United States, since We have had better response I the signing of the Peace Treaty.

munist followers. City groups are more exposed to the realities of economic and social problems while the peasants are more conservative. The latter are more concerned with their own livelihood in fishing and farming.” Underground Influence Cited Dr. Swearingen cited the underground influence in Japan’s largest labor organization, the Sohyo, with 3,500,000 members. It formerly stood for free world policies and cooperatin. However, now it is pro-Communistic and is campaigning particularly for cooperation with China and the Soviet Union.
Cultural and intellectual groups are also dominated by the anti-West attitude, due in part to a reaction against six years of American occupation and to the Marxist orientation of many professors and journalists. Impressions of Americans by most university students are unbelievably distorted and uncomplimentary,” Dr. Swearingen found.
New Uncertainty “Within the past few weeks a new uncertainty has developed in the minds of economic leaders. The Korean truce has caused a slackening of manufacturing orders for war supplies and a fear of the future has added to the attitude of unrest.”
The SC professor was impressed with Japan’s rapid recov-claim by the London Times and the New' York Herald-Tribune.
Visits Korea Dr. Swrearingen visited Korea during the recent truce negotiations. He was impressed with the plight of the battered country and the tremendous amount of aid to be required by the United Nations.
The savant does not believe that the Japanese problem is hopeless. He cited the State Department’s effectiye program to counter Communism as well as the economic aid of the Mutual Securities Administration.
“Given sufficient encouragement and patience, in time Japan should become an important factor in the free community of nations,” Dr. Swearingen concluded.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 — Secretary of Air Harold E. Talbott today announced plans to increase production of the big B-52 i Stratqfort bomber which was specifically designed by the Air Force to carry the Hydrogen Bomb.
The United States now has about 4,000 planes capable of carrying atomic weapons but only a few of them could deliver the much larger and more destructive H-Bomb. Talbott’s order is aimed at plugging this gap.
The secretary told a news conference the Air Force will open a second production line for the B-52’s at the Wichita, Kans., plant of the Boeing Airplane Company. The bomber now is being produced at Boeing’s Seat tie plant.
The B-52 has a speed*of more than 600 miles an hour and a range of from 6,000 to 8,000 miles. The Air Force now has two prototypes.
Talbott said extensive tests of the B-52 jet bomber were “so successful” it was decided to step up production and also “eliminate the danger of a single source” of production. He said it is “essential’ ’that the Wichita plant start production as soon as possible.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 28 — India called today for a meeting of the chiefs of state of the United States, Russia, Great Britain, and France.
The proposal was mad£ to the United Nations General Assembly by V. K. Krishna Menon, author of the prisoner formula that paved the way for ending the Panmunjom truce deadlock.
Menon said his government would introduce a formal resolution if the idea mustered suf-
ficient informal support among the 60 U.N. members.
He said India was taking the initiative so that there would be no feeling that either Russia on its side or the west on the other was taking the initiative.
Menon said “humanity cries for such a meeeing. He said it “would clear the air,” particularly on the two top problems of Korea and Germany, and “might be a solution to our present dif ficulties.”

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 28 — State Director of Finance James S. Dean told Gov. Earl Warren today that the state has been unable to find a satisfactory site for the new Los Angeles State College.
Dean told a meeting of the governor’s council that no adequate site could be found in downtown Los Angeles but added that some area might be cleared to make way for the new college.
He said the Badwin Park site, which was the tentative choice originally, would cost $3,500,000 instead of $2,500,000.
“It’s too high a price,” Dean said.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 28 — A non-scheduled C-46 airliner crashed and burned while landing here today, killing at least 12 persons and injuring up to 32 others.
The pl*ne, operated out of Miami by Resort Airlines, apparently nose-dived while landing and plunged onto a standiford field runway, bursting into flames, an employe of the Louisville-Jeffer-son county air board said.

MOSCOW, Sept. 28—The Soviet Union replied today to an invitation, to a big four foreign
ministers meeting at Lugano, Switzerland, next month with what observers believed was a virtual rejection.
Reliable sources said the new Soviet note put forward a counter-proposal for a big five conference that would include Communist China.
The Sept. 2 proposal by the United States, Britain and France for a Lugano meeting to consider only the German and Austrian problems • rejected the inclusion of China at the talks.
The text of the 10-page Soviet reply was not immediately published but diplomatic observers said it appeared certain the Soviet reply would exclude the Lugano conference.
The Soviet has held for the last few months that a conference regarding Germany without consideration of the general problem of easing overall world tensions and without China’s participation would be sterile.
The Kremlin also has taken strong exception against “preliminary conditions” which it said the United States was trying to impose following the recent Washington, conference of the big three Wstern foreign ministers.

Hildenbrand Looking For Parade Site
Machinery for the 1953 Homecoming celebration rolled into high gear yesterday as 23 newly-appointed committee chairmen began to organize their own committees for the week-long festivities to be held the first week in November. _
Bob Hildenbrand, Homecoming chairman, said he still doesn’t know whether cr not the Homecoming parade will be held this year because a suitable site cannot be found.
Miracle Mile Out In past years, SC has paraded down the Miracle Mile of WiLshir» Boulevard, but a City council statute passed last year forbade all future parades.
Now, although the City council last week voted to let SC and UCLA parade during Homecoming, SC parade workers are having difficulty securing a parade area. The Miracle Mile has been ruled out by city officials because Wil-shire Boulevard “is a main traffic artery.”
“However, we may be able to get on Wilshire yet,” Hildenbrand said.
New Heads
New chairmanship appointments are Don Roe, Dance; Burt Wilson, Trolios; Mark Matlock, parade; Lenore Monosson, taxi day; Jack Kyser, ilosfts; Sherman Weiss, publicity; George Ott, souvenirs; Donna Meadors, alumni relations; Bonita Johnson, Row decorations; Elliott Wolfe, university decorations; Ron Pacini, budget; Owen Dimock, queen contest; Herb Vossler, trophies; Alan Carpenter, bonfire; William Rice, photography; Johanna Pick, slogan contest; Rodger Darbonne, flapper day; and Jim Lucostic, rally.
