TOKYO W— Ichiro Hatoyama, a;
pro-American Conservative who )
wants increased trade with Russia
and Red China, tonight was elec-
ted Prime Minister of Japan—a
post he may not hold for more
than three molths.
A coalition of Hatoyama’s Demo-
crats and the Socialists moved the
71-year-old diplomat into the spot
from which Shigeru Yoshida was
forced to resign two days ago.
The vote was 257 for Hatoyama
and 191 for Taketora Ogata. Yo-
shida's deputy and new president
of Yoshida's Liberal party.
For their support, Hatoyama
promised the Socialists he would
< issolve the Diet next month and
i all new national elections before
March 10.
The Socialists threw their sup-
port to Hatoyama because they
i rankly figure to be the only party
to gain house seats in any general
election.
Yoshida, who stepped down Tues-
day in the face of overwhelming j
opposition from the unusual coali-
tion of Conservatives and Social-
ists. was not present for the vote.
His resignation did not affect his
status as a member of the Diet.
Despitet he Socialists’ support in
forcing Yoshida s resignation and
electing Hatoyama, the new Prime
Minister is not expected to name
any Socialist to his Cabinet.
