Ambitious Scheme To Restore
Nation To Pre-War Position
New York, June 16.
A major political battle appeared certain to develop over plans of Japanese industrialists and some Government officials to restore their country to its former position as Asin's arsenal, William Jorden wrote in the New York Times today.
He said that a threat to Premier Shigeru Yoshida had developed this week with the disclosure of some elements of a five-year defence plan worked out by the Government National Safety Agency."
Tho correspondent said that the plan called for a military buildup which by 1958 would give the army-like Safety Corps 200,000 men, provide 150,000 tons of coastal patrol shipping, including five aircraft carriers, and establish an air force of about 1,500 military planes, half of them jets.

Turn For Better In Talks On Burma Situation
Bangkok, June 16.
Talks on the withdrawal of General Li Mi's troops from Burma took a turn for the better to- day when the heads of the four delegations met at the same table for the first time "informally" since the meeting opened on May 23.
The Chinese Nationalist delegate, Colonel ! Fu De, and the Burmese delegate, Colonel Aung Gyi, sat together for the first time at the usual meeting table in the United States Embassy with Colonel Chartchai Chunhawan, the Thailand delegate, and Colonel Ray- mond B. Palmer, the American Military Attache and the United States délegate.
