Japanese Elect Near Fascist Prime Minister
Ichiro Hatoyama, once barred from public life by the occupation, was chosen as Japan's prime minister after a party-line vote in the lower house. The bid was supported by Socialists and Democrats in a rare alliance, with the upper house approving his selection 116 to 84. Hatoyama pledged no US relations change but hinted at trade shifts with Red China and plans to dissolve the diet by late January, potentially reshaping the government by March.

Soviets Accuse U S of Seizing Formosa For War on Red China
In the United Nations special political committee Soviet Delegate A A Sobolev charged the U S with aggression by protecting Formosa and directing raids on the Chinese mainland. U S Delegate C D Jackson dismissed the claim as propaganda and defended the mutual security treaty with Nationalist China while noting U S forces on Formosa for training. He pressed Russia to prove sincerity in peaceful coexistence and criticized China for wartime acts in the Far East. The U S argued it has not seized Formosa and called out Peiping propaganda as intensifying tensions.
