Weapons and Umbrellas. In fact, the election results may have less effect in Okinawa than in Japan. Premier Eisaku Sato, who is up for re-election as party leader next week, sent six Cabinet Ministers to stump for Loser Nishime, and suffered a consequent loss of prestige. Yara's election is a sharp reminder to both Sato and the U.S. of an approaching deadline for resolving the question of Okinawa's status. The U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Pact is due to be reviewed in 1970, and could face massive popular opposition if a date for Okinawa...
FROM his first election speech last month, when he stood atop an aqua and yellow campaign bus, Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato staked his political life on support of Japan's security pact with the U.S. It was no small gamble. Only last January, riot police had to use fire hoses to control more than 800 militantly antiwar students who tried to keep the USS Enterprise crew from taking shore leave in Sasebo. In April, Tokyo housewives marched in protest against the opening of a hospital for U.S. troops wounded in Viet Nam, and a month later a wave...

It reported the rioting with obvious distress and admonished the students to restrain themselves. Said Asahi, Japan's biggest daily: "The students have forgotten that a social movement will not get on the right track...
Finally, Prime Minister Eisaku Sato entered the controversy, announced he would be happy to see the Imperial moved "in part or entirely" to Meiji Village near Nagoya, a sort of Japanese Williamsburg. Only two days before demolition was to begin last week, Owner Inumaru met with representatives from the village and agreed to save the main lobby, at least temporarily. Assuming the estimated $4,000,000 can be raised, Wright's spiritual presence seems likely to settle down with relics from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The prospect of becoming a part of Japan's architectural heritage would...
