BREAK UP TRIAL OF ANTIWAR DEMONSTRATORS

Demonstrators have continued to prevent the trial of the ten youths accused of destroying facilities at the Nittoku Metal Industry Co. in Tokyo last October 19.

They raided this plant which produces machine guns for the United. States in protest against Japan's cooperation with U.S. aggression in Vietnan.

The demonstrators interrupted the trial August 28, breaking their way through a police cordon. They were evicted from court after "a fierce fight

in the corridors," according to the Japan

Times.

This was the second time an anti-

war demonstration has succeeded in post—

poning the trial. New hearings are sched-

uled for September 21.

In another demonstration of oppo-

sition to Washington's invasion of Viet-

nam, a young man sneaked into the U.S.

embassy compounds September 7 and poured

flaming gasoline over three cars. The

embassy is heavily guarded but the youth

escaped.
