In their most overtly political act since arriving in the United States a week ago, Akihito, the son of the late llirohito in whose name Japan fought World War II and his wife toured the famous landmark and met with UN Secretary-General Boutros it A. luncheon in the secretary-general's 38th-floor private dining room. They also witnessed the ringing of Japan's peace bell, a Buddhist bell given to the United Nations in memory of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended the war. While Akihito is barred by Japan's constitution from participating in politics, his visit here was an unmistakable effort to call attention to his nation's desire for a stronger voice in world affairs and on issues of global security.

Akihito was accompanied to the lunch by former Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, who has been a uv Uoutros-Ohah. The imperial guests had a brief tour of the Security Council cham i ficial entourage since his 1 1 -city goodwill tour of America began in Atlanta last Friday. "Since the Gulf War. Japan has been pushing for a seat on the Security Council because they realized then how impotent they arc on the world scene without military power," said a U.S. diplomat stationed at the U.N.

"Anytime a big country like Japan sends its top statesman to the U.N. to meet with the secrctury-general especially if they're not a big player on the Security Council the message is political." The 1 5-member security council, which charts the course of the U.N., has five permanent members Britain, France, China, Russia and the United States, all victors of World War II. Its 10 remaining members are elected to two-ycur terms and lack the veto power of the five permanent members. Joe Sills, spokesman for Boutros-Ghali, said the secretary-general supports Japan's bid for a permanent seat. Enlarging the Security Council would require an amendment to the U.N.

Charier, a change that requires approval of both the General Assembly and the Security Council. The United States supports Japan's push for membership. One obstacle to membership is lingering resentment toward Japan from victims of Japan's aggressions during World War II. MEOO REALTY, INC. hi Adil Hrudlov.

Foreign Minister Alain Juppe detailed his intervention proposals for the Central African country in an article in Thursday's Liberation newspaper. He also called for putting those responsible for the carnage on trial.

"France demands that the leaders of this genocide be judged," Juppe wrote. They should be "identified and excluded from all negotiations on the future of the country they helped destroy."
