[R. TSUYOSHI INUKAI, SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN, WHO WAS SHOT DOWN IN COLD BLOOD LAST NIGHT, DARING HIS YOUTHFUL ASSAILANTS TO SHOOT, SUCCUMBED TO HIS WOUNDS SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
Very little hope had been held out for his life, though no effort was spared. Blood transfusions were carried out and the Premier returned to consciousness, but the shock was too great and he died at 11.35 p.m.
The whole country is in a state of extreme nervous- ness. The Tokyo police have mobilised all reserves and every possible precaution has been taken against further outrages.
