Japanese Balloting for House in Tokyo Test for Sato Pro-America Policy
Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's pro American stance dominates the Japanese upper house election for 126 seats in Tokyo. Voter turnout was expected to reach about 66.8 million before polling closed 11 hours after opening. The Diet's limited power makes this a public opinion test on Sato's 30 year leadership and the security treaty with the United States. Anti American sentiment grows as parties seek treaty abrogation or revision with U S forces. Sato pledges to push for treaty extension beyond 1970 despite opposition and anti American sentiment rising after nuclear powered U S Navy port calls.
