Shigemilsu's conversations v.Hh Secretary of State John Foster Dulles are intended to straighten out some of the tougher problems; in American-Japanese relations at the top. But it's relations at the bottom that really need improving. From the Tokyo point of view, the United States has been pushing Japan back towards militarism too fast.

From the Washington point of view, the Japanese are entirely too apathetic about their own de- iense. What is even more exasperating, the Japanese raise every obstacle they can think to American defense of the Far East more difficult. Just recently there have been strong Japanese protests against A i a proposals to put 280 mm. atomic artillery and Honest John guided missile installations in the Far East There has been a steady campaign in the Japanese press to have the United States give up its mutual defense treaty authoi- ity over Okinawa, and return it to Japan. There is a strong public opinion against American use of bases against an aggressor in tnis area, unless Japan itself comes under attack There has been a two-year hassle over lengthening a few Japanese airfields for jets Until recently, Japanese leaders failed to come right out and tell their people that.

"U.S. forces are in a a because we want them here Japan's military budget is now only a little over two per cent of its gross national Income This is only half of what even tiny Portugal appropriates. The budget is said to reflect public opinion. The people complain that the Imperial Army and Navy didn't save the country from defeat in World War I So why revive Such home guard and coast guard forces as Japan now maintains under contract--to get around the constitutional ban against rearmament--are said to be excellent. But they are too few.

This postwar psychological fear of the military is said to be worse than in Germany. When Americans point to the danger of the Communist threat from China on their west or from Russia within rowboat distance from the islands on the north--the Japanese prefer to look in other directions and not worry. As to what the United States might do. the most natural thing uould be to walk off and leave them. Of course that won't be done.

For Japan is the most valuable piece of real estate in the Far East There is probably little real American understanding of what the Japanese want for the long pull. They probably know exactly what they want. At anv rate, there will be plcntj of things to talk about when Dulles and Shigemitsu get together, at the end of August. Rorxnrp SUSPECTS ROME, Aug. 21 ijfl-- Rome police today staged a midnight-to-dawn roundup of questionable characters in some of the city's darker haunts.

Authorities said numerous persons were arrested but gave no number. A total of 23d agents, aided by police dogs, virtually blocked off the city during the experimental anti-crime drive. Every vehicle entering or leaving the outskirts was halted for a check of its documents. Not a single robbery was reported in the city during the night. JCTC Buses Moving Again WASHINGTON, Aug.

21 f--City buses street cars will roll in Washington tomorrow for the first time since July 1. The 51-day-old transit strike was settled today at 1:12 a.m. with agreement on a fare increase to offset the 15 cents hourly wage boost won by the 2,400 striking AFL transit union workers. Capital Transit Co. took today to check over its buses, notify the workers and send maintenance cars up and down the -street car tracks, clearing the rails.

The settlement was reached under a bill passed by Congress can- celling the transit company's franchise after one year and giving the district commissioners power to negotiate a wage agreement between the company and the uuion. President Eisenhower signed the bill last Sunday. The commissioners, who administer affairs of the nation's capital under direction of Congress, are authorized to arrange for service from another cmnpaajr after a year. firm Sate Louis E. Wolfson.

Florida financier and chairman of the board of Capital Transit has offered the company for sale for 000. or $15 a share. He bought control at $5 a share six years ago. 1 Congress authorized an arrange! ment for the federal government to make up any company losses be) cause of the wage increases during the next 12 months. But the Capital Transit Co.

declined to sign such a contract, saying it would go ahead on its own. The fare increases boost token rates from 16 to 19 cents but cash fares remain at 20 cents. The charge for weekly permits, allowing holders unlimited rides at 10 cents each, was increased from 75 to 90 cents. The wage increase accepted Friday night by union drivers and mechanics is estimated to cost $1,200,000. The worker originally asked a 25 cents hourly boost.

Their former scale was (1.90 an hour for driven $2.03 for top mechanics. The strike was the second longest transit strike in a major American city. Detroit had a 56-day transit strike about five years ago. EXPECT OVER HELSINKI, Aug. 21 from the United States, the Soviet Union.
