SEARCH FOR HAPPY SOLUTION OF IMPASSE

LONDON, AUG. 5 (REUTER).~—SATORU MAKIHARA, ONE OF THE TWO JAPANESE BUSINESS-MEN ARRESTED IN LONDON ON FRIDAY, WAS RELEASED FROM BRIXTON PRISON TO-NIGHT. HE HAS RETURNED TO HIS LONDON HOME.

Earlier, a Japanese Embassy spokesman declared that Lord Halifax's explanation of the London arrests was considered unsatisfactory by the Japanese Ambassador.

Nevertheless, he added, it was hoped that a happy solution would still be found and cordial relations be restored.

INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

LONDON, Aug. 5 (UP)-Before Mr. Makihara was released the British authorities issued the following statement: "The case has been further considered and the evidence has not been deemed sufficient to warrant further detention.'

It is understood that Mr. Tanabe is remaining in custody. The deportation of Takayuki Eguchi and Mrs. Yoshii, who were arrested earlier in the month,

has been ordered on the grounds that they were
