Japanese Socialists Demand U.S. Troop Withdrawal Over Girard Case
About 3,000 Socialists gathered in Tokyo pressing for withdrawal of all American troops from Japan and scrapping of the U S Japan Security Treaty. They cited the Girard case involving the shooting death of a farm woman at a firing range and called for Japan to have jurisdiction and the accused handed over. The protest also urged broader antiwar, antiwar testing, and Red China trade reforms, and criticized U S military presence in Okinawa.
