Authorities reported the heavy rainfall claimed eight lives elsewhere on the island of Shikoku. One of the landslides buried about 60 persons workers and bystanders who were watching the rescue team clear debris from an earlier landslide. The first landslide buried a 36-year-old man. A witness said the isolated farming area 18 miles from Kochi resembled "a hell of red earth." The second landslide occurred so suddenly "that many of us had no time to escape," he said. "Many people screamed for help and there were arms stretching from under tons of earth." The second landslide destroyed 15 houses at the foot of a hill and swept a locomotive and two coaches into a river.

Japan National Railways said the only persons on the train, two engineers, escaped without injury. A thousand rescue workers were sent to the area. Authorities feared the death toll would surpass the worst landslide in Japan, the 1961 disaster at Nagano which claimed 55 lives. Personal History," Tanaka recalls how he met his wife, who is eight years older than he. He had come to Tokyo from Niigata and rented a shop.

One day his landlady asked him if he knew of an eligible man who might marry her daughter. "In my mind I felt secretly that her daughter was the kind of woman that I would like to have as my wife," Tanaka wrote. They were married in 1942 and have one daughter.

B' ROBERT LIU TOKYO (AP) When he was a youngster, Kakuei Tanaka's classmates called him the Mole. Today he's some-time known as the Computerized Bulldozer and generally as Kaku-san.

The nicknames reflect the tenacity, informal style and life trials of Japan's new prime minister. Tanaka, 54 and the millionaire head of a large construction firm, was elected president of the ruling Liberal Democratic party today, a post which makes him head of the government. Tanaka was the son of a poor farmer in Niigata on the central coast. One of seven children the rest were girls he got only a high school education. But he started a small construction business in Tokyo, studied law at nights and with determination, drive and ability built up his fortune.

I depend on my intuition to give a straight 'yes'of 'no answer." HIS quick mind, blunt tactics and tendency for rapid action gained him the nick-n a the Computerized Bulldozer. He sports a small mustache and speaks in a hoarse but emphatic voice.

Hisashi Shirakawa, one of Tanaka's former classmates, recalls: "When he passed his house on the way to school, we called out, 'Hey, and he would respond with As it was very cold in our district, he always wound silk wadding around his nec'k which almost buried his head. It gave him the very appearance of a mole." Tanaka's living habits today are rigid. He gees to bed early and wakes up around 6 a.m. He spends his first hour reading newspapers or meeting early visitors. His eating habits are simple, and some friends find them incongruous with this palatial Japanese-style home.

THE house is behind high walls in 2'-2 acres of landscaped gardens. There is a Western-style annex for guests. In an autobiography, "My PROFILE "He's just a kid," Tanka's mother quietly told newsmen when he announced his candi-dacy for the party presidency. "There's no need for him to be pulling someone else down in order, to become prime minister." TANAKA conquered a bad case of stuttering when he was a youngster by singing ballads at the top of his voice from mountain tops overlooking the sea. His aides say he may appear impatient over problems because he hurries through them.

But they say this does not mean he is slipshod. "I follow a policy of one case, three minutes," Tanaka explained once to visitors.

Sato had tried to improve Sino-Japanese relations but Peking had refused to deal with him because of his pro-Nationalist China policy. China has surprisingly refrained from comment on Tanaka and this has led to speculation he might be able to open a dialog for improved relations between Tokyo and Peking.

Police and FBI agents surrounded the craft and one FBI man shouted through a bullhorn: "As long as you have that little girl, we don't want to take the plane up. If you free the little girl, they'll take the plane up." WHEN there was no response, the agent asked, "Will you trade that little girl for me?" "Shut up," Smith answered from the plane.

"IT has been learned in journalist circles here that Fischer's patrons have worked out rather original playing tactics for the match in which they were not guided by chess interests," Tass said. The news agency said Fischer's followers had worked out an arrangement with a computer center to transmit each move and the computer would calculate a counter-move. The championship was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to show, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers.
