JAPANESE ELECTIONS
FIXED FOR MARCH 31 (9 a.m.) TOKYO, Jan. 30. The Japanese Cabinet announced that the Japanese first elections under occupation scrutiny would be held on March 31, having been postponed from January following General MacArthur’s directive forcing the resignations of scores of ultra-nationalistic officials. It will be the first time that men and women under 25 are allowed to vote. General MacArthur ordered the Government to halt smuggling food and other merchandise from Korea, and directed the Japanese to speed up the production of medical supplies, particularly vaccines.
