TOKYO - American consumer
advocate Ralph Nader, during a
recent visit to Tokyo cited the city
as "a notorious symbol of world-
wide pollution." In one smoggy
week last summer over 8,000 peo-
ple were treated in Tokyo hospit-
als for severe eye and skin irri-
tation and other pollution-induced

board advertising, the Hays-Ab-
bitt bill sets an over-all limit
within which the candidates can
spend as they choose.
T h e proposal would limit
spending on House races to $30,-
000, only half of what the Sen-
ate bill would allow. Both bills
set a flexible limit to Senate
races based on the size of the
state, and again, the Hays-Ab-
bitt limits would be lower.
The Hays-Abbitt bill would
require full disclosure of all
campaign expenditures and re-
ceipts, but not until 45 days af-
ter the election.
According to Hays, the pres-
ent requirement for advance no-
tice of contributions and expen-
ditures, which other bills would
continue, is too easily distorted

ailments. At least 41 other people
have died because of air pollution
in the heavily-industrialized city
of Yokkaichi, Japan. Tokyo traffic
policemen will not stand at busy
crossroads longer than 30 minutes,
and 40 junctions have oxygen ma-
chines available. Most of Japan's
gasoline is derived from Middle
Eastern oil, which contains par-
ticularly large quantities of pollu-
tants.
Japan's oil industry adds ben-
zene and toluene to the cheaper
grades of petroleum, which the
sun's rays convert into highly toxic
gases. Compounding the ecologi-
cal tragedy still further, the num-
ber of private cars in Tokyo has
doubled within the past three
years, and the :Japanese car man-
ufacturers, who equip automobiles
exported to the U.S. with exhaust-
control devises, install no such
equipment on their domestic cars.
Concern, outrage and protests
are mounting among the Japanese
almost as rapidly as the thicken-
ing air. According to a poll con-
ducted by the Japanese govern-
ment last year, 52 per cent of the
residents in the Tokyo and Osaka
metropolitan areas were convinced
they suffer from the effects of pol-
lution. And a third of those polled
blamed the pollution on the weak
measures taken by the central and
local governments.
