Al \\ orld’s Fair
SEATTLE T — The rising sun
of Japan was unfurled alongside
the stars and stripes of the United

dignitaries spoke of the strong ties
linking the two countries during
colorful ceremonies in the Plaza
of the States.
"We arc joined by many ties,"
said Koichiro Asakai, Japan's Am
bassador to the United States. "And
Seattle long has been one of out
major avenues to the vast Ameri
can hinterland. This Fair is the
show-case of the 21st Century—a
splendid enterprise of special
quality."
"We could not have a real
World's Fair without the fine re
presentation of Japan," said Gov.
Albert D. Rosellini of Washington.
Japanese women in bright ki
monos, parasols and fans gave
added color to the scene as the
flags of the two nations were hoist
ed.
Seattle's Bon Odori folk dancers
formed a circle for the rhythmic,
graceful old dances of Japan.
At a news conference preceding
the ceremony. Ambassador Asakai
was informative, friendly and co
operative but non-committal on
cord: ■ wersial questions.
Yes. he said, discussions are
be in ■ held in diplomatic channels
over Alaskan arrests of Japanese
fishermen in the dispute over fish

Bin ION IN FORI-KIN AID
WASHINGTON t.P — The House
passed Tuesday and sent to Pres
ident Kennedy a $4,672 billion
foreign aid program that preserves
the President's discretionary au
thority to give limited aid to Com
munist countries. The vote was j
221 to 162.
The compromise measure, previ
ously passed the Senate, includes
$600 million for the Alliance for
Progress this year. It also sets :
that figure as a ceiling for assist- 1
ance to Latin America in each of
the three following years.
The President had requested !
$00 million for each of the three
fiscal years through 1966.
Struck from the completed leg
islation were Senate restrictions on
aid to Communist Poland and i
Yugoslavia and specific limitations
on assistance to India.
The compromise also eliminated
a House prohibition against loans
for special financial aid to the
United Nations until all members
of the international body have !
paid their assessments for peace- :
making operations in the Gaza i
Strip and in the Congo.
But the measure retained langu
age- that will require the suspen- *
sion of aid to any country seizing J
< r taking over American property I
without arranging for fair compen- j
sation within six months.
