...opposition adding up to the half. Japan's Socialists, who control more than 12 million votes, are the nation's second biggest voting bloc, but Party Boss Kozo Sasaki, 65, is a Peking-lining fanatic who is even farther to the left than Communist Party Leader Sanzo Nozaka, 74, who last year struck a course away from Peking and more toward Moscow. Toward the ever-growing center of Japanese politics stands the Social Democratic Party (with 30 seats in the Diet, third in the nation) and the newly arrived Komeito (25 seats...
...Sanzo Nozaka, 68, chairman of the Japanese Communist Party. A trim, dapper theoretician who learned his Marxism in Moscow, Nozaka was educated at Tokyo's Keio University, joined the Reds during a 1920 visit to Britain, where he studied under Clement Attlee at the London School of Economics. Deported, he returned to Japan and was in and out of jail until 1931, when he fled to Russia with his wife and became an executive member of the Comintern. In 1943.

Nozaka lost no time in cutting Shida down to size. "There has been ultra-leftist adventurism," he cried, and prescribed a policy of nonviolence and a popular front with the Socialists. Suddenly Shida disappeared. For nearly nine months nothing more was heard...
...somniferous spell of Marxist platitudes when the chairman of the meeting suddenly barked: "We have an important announcement to make . . ." Before he could finish it, three men in light grey summer suits, Panama hats in hand, walked briskly down the aisle toward the rostrum. The crowd recognized Sanzo Nozaka, who is Japan's No. 1 Communist since the death of Kyuichi Tokuda (TIME, Aug. 8), and two of his henchmen. Looking like a dapper but tired businessman, Nozaka approached the microphone, told the audience that after five years underground he had come back to take up his duties...
