.
Issue In
Japan
By Sydney Brookes
Tokyo, Sept. 26.
Text books for schools have become a national issue in Japan as Conservative and Socialist politicians approach a clash on proposed revisions of the post-war Constitution.
The Conservatives want revisions. The Socialists accuse them of trying to dilute the post-war reforms.
Education comes into the debate when critics of the government accuse it of wanting to reduce the independence of school teachers and introduce measures which would risk a return to wartime "thought control."
Japan's education systern was!
in the heavily "democratised" reform period after the war and many different types of text books are at present in use on the same subjects. Now, the Editation Ministry is consider- ing the Introduction of a uni- form set of text books in schools. This step has become o major national issue.
اله
Socialist political parties and the Teachers' Union are at pro sent resisting any change. But the Union is accused of being in places, unaler Left-wing or Communist influence. It is also criticised for taking eldes polities at all,

Russians Go Out As The Foreigners Come In
By JOHN RETTIE
Moscow, Sept. 26. Hundreds of Russians who would normally have gone to the Crimea or the Caucasus this autumn are getting instead their first glimpse of a foreign country.
Several hundred people from Moscow and Leningrad have already left for a ten- day tour of Communist Poland, while several hundreds more are expected to visit non-Communist Sweden and Finland during September.
