Laird, in visits Japan and South Korea, has encountered in each country deep reluciance to go along with his basic message: That the United States is reducing its military in A.-and that other nations pre-enmust share a greater part of the defense burden in Asia under his concept of realistic deterrence. Outwardly the Japanese have shown no concern over the reduction of the American military establishment in then-owcountry. U.S. troops in Japan have gone from 40,000 last year to fewer than 30.000 today, and the Japanese have been given control of such air bases as Misa-wAtsugi and Itazuke, once considered essential by the United States. The Japanese want Okinawa returned next year with reduced American bases free of nuclear or chemical weapons. By contrast. South Korea Is reluctant to see American troops go and agreed to reduction in the 60, a 20,000-maforce here only after the United States r to a finance promised modernization program for South Korean forces that is to cost about $130 million a year. Unlike the island country of Japan, South Korea faces an enemy across a the demilitarized zone in land frontier the area of the 38th parallel border with North Korea. ia ce a, five-yea- jr hfiks "V could learn aompthing from these old Rudoloh Aalentino We had real good image in those day." movie ...

The Japanese view the Communist threat in a different way than the Koieans do they do not sit on the front lines and their military force of 260,000 men is one of the few in Asia that has had no combat experience since World War II. But Japan senses that because she is Asias foiemost economic and industrial power, and the only Asian country capable of making her own heavy armaments as well as sophisticated electronic equipment, an American military reduction inevitably means a larger role for Tokyo. And although Premier Eisaku Sato reiterates that a major economic power need not become a major military power, there is uneasiness and controversy within the Japanese body politic that this is precisely what may happen. If ofher Asian countries including South Korea do not trust the Japanese and do not forget World War II or the period of colonial expansion that preceded it, many Japanese do not yet trust themselves, are not rertain that the sense of power arising from their remarkable economic growth will not go to their heads. They have qualms about their maturity and responsibility in a period of unaccustomed prosperity and power. as to the Japane-- e the its its as does the commitment to defend the 38th Laird has brought the message that United States will rot go back on commitments even while it retimes forces, that the nuclear shield stands tule Increases n South de'ls. vulnerable.

President Nixon's WASHINGTON dramatic announcement that he has accepted an invitation to go to China marks a giant step toward establishment of normal relations for the first time between the United States and the giant Asian Communist nation. It may also herald Peking's entiy into the United Nations as early as this fall. Before the Nixon announcement, many had expected Red China to win a U.N. seat but not before 19T2. Ever since the Communists took over the Asian mainland country in 1949 there have been no diplomatic relations between Washington and Peking. Opposition F.a .rs In recent years, however, the United States has eased its opposition to the Red Chinese government and Nixon has taken a number of steps to improve relations. After the Chinese invited a U.S. table tennis team to play there, Nixon early last month ended the longstanding freeze on U.S. trade with China. In diplomatic affairs, an invitation to a chief of state to visit, and his acceptance, is a mark of good relationships between the two states. This is especially so regarded in Communist capitals. Nixons action is bound to stir more friction with Americas longtime ally, Nationalist China. The Formosa regime has become increasingly concerned with the President's moves in Pekings direction. Nixon apparently had this in mind rival in the Communist world. The administration has been making' dear in its China initiatives that it living to pur trouble between Peking and Moscow by being friendly with one, or the othet. 1 -- Rea The --mi admitu-tratio- re Formosa is n expected to reassuie the Chiang government that the United States still intends Kai-she- k to adhere to its defense commitments to Nationalist China. The White House is also understood to oppose seating of the Peking regime at the Uniied Nations, now at the expense of Nationalist China. Red China's supporters want her admitted to the Security Council and General Assembly seats now held by the Nationalist. Both governments claim tc be the sole representatives of China.

When East showed out on the second spade, South realized that West was assured of scoring two trump tricks. Declarer attempted to cash the king of hearts, but West ruffed in and played the queen of diamonds to complete the defensive book. The queen of spades subsequently sent South down to defeat. Declarer could have made his contract in one of two ways. Afer he ruffs the third diamond and plays the ace of spades, if he returns to his hand by ruffing a club, he can successfully trump his fourth diamond with the four of spades, because although East is out of diamonds he also has no more trumps. This gives South a tenth trick. Another successful lne of play is to ruff out dummy's clubs. At trick three a club is trumped. Dummy is entered with the king of diamonds to ruff another club.
