STUDENTS EJECTED
U.S. Tokyo Embassy . (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) TOKYO, Feb. 3. A small band of extreme Left-wing students raced up three flights of stairs in the United States Embassy in Tokyo today and flew antiAmerican banners from a rooftop. j They held their position on top of the three-storey build- ! ing for 20 minutes before police cars with screaming sirens converged on the Oriental-style compound. Hundreds of office workers watched as 130 police, many wielding batons, seized seven students after a scuffle. No injuries were reported. Police said it appeared the students scaled a side wall and dodged security guards to reach the roof of one of three office blocks in the compound.
