Fukuda's election followed closely the resignation of Premier Takeo Miki who stepped down after Democrats suffered heavy losses in the lower house elections on December 5.

Cairo Two nations which were bitter enemies until' two months ago announced last week they have begun the mechanisms of a merger.

Vail, Colorado A high White House source Thursday reported that President Ford would not rescind an executive order barring the use of poisons to kill predatory animals on public lands. Acting Secretary of Agriculture John Knebel and "outside interest groups" were said to be urging Ford to lift the ban ordered by President Nixon in 1972. A Ford spokesman said the prohibition on the use . of certain poisons by Western sheep and cattlemen against Coyotes is now part of Environmental Protection Agency regulations and that action by Ford would make no difference.
