RIOTING IN JAPAN
U.S. Hospital Not Opened (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) TOKYO, March 12. Rioting by Japanese university students has forced the United States to postpone the opening of a 400-bed military hospital in Japan to treat war wounded from Vietnam, it was disclosed today. The hospital, at Camp Oji, on the northern edge of Tokyo, said to be the best United States military hospital in Asia, was expected to be opened later this month. An American military spokesman said the postponement would not be indefinite.
Oji was the scene of violent demonstrations last month and earlier this month by students belonging to the Marxist Sarnpa Rengo (threefaction alliance), an extremist group in the Japan student federation, the Zengakuren.
