Soviet protest on MacArthur parole note reaches Tokyo
Soviet protest reached Tokyo on the eve of a planned parole for Namoru Shigemitsu, with the note handed to press at the National Press Club. The timing suggested U.S. handling would influence the release of the major Japanese war criminal. Reporters obtained copies as no State Department comment was offered. In Detroit, a police officer was killed and another wounded amid fears of a race riot in an event that drew 2000 onlookers and a bayonet-armed police response.
