TO RUN FOR DIET

By ERNEST HOBERECHT

A large number of Japancso women are expected to run for Diet seats in the coming elections which General Douglas MacArthur has ordered the Japanese govern- ment to hold, but Japanese ob- Kervers predict they will have a tough time getting votes.

Thirty-nine women now hold seats in the Diet-for the first time in Japanese history-and it would seem logical to assume that a greater number would be swept into office by the second democratic election in Japan. However, things may not work out that way.

It seems that the present women member of the Diet have not been spectacular enough. They have not created A sensation. They have done their Job, just as the male members have done their job, but they have not given the voters a "Hollywood finish."
