Washington Japan is a 'Hot Potato' in Jagan visit
Washington faces a delicate debate over Cheddi Jagan of British Guiana. Officials seek a way to label him not a Communist to justify U S aid and ties to his five year plan amid a State Department rule barring Communist dominated party members from U S visits.
