Japan's Communists present a new face at home and in parliament
In Tokyo the Japan Communist party convened its 11th congress since 1966 adopting branches instead of cells and pledging parliamentary politics. The party reports 160000 women among 300000 members and chose Tetsuzu Fuwa, a Tokyo University graduate, as secretary in chief. Fuwa’s appeal aims to attract younger voters as the party keeps its independent stance amid Soviet and Chinese communist influence. The JCP gained seats in the Diet from 5 to 34 and boosted hope with Kyoto election gains and a strong governor win in Kyoto.

Senator Nore hails court ruling on valuation case
State Senator Herb Nore of Genoa praised the State Supreme Court after it overturned 20 counties’ property tax valuation increases ordered by the State Board of Equalization. The ruling may force county boards to raise taxes again this year to fund refunds for the 1970 valuations. Nore urged frugality in government spending, noting drought and farm rent pressures. His 22nd District covers Platte and Nance Counties, though Platte was not involved in the decision.
