JAPAN'S TOP PARTY LOSES TEST AT POLLS EFFECT OF SCANDALS ON LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY SURFACE IN TOKYO VOTING

The Boston Globe | July 3, 1989| | Copyright

TOKYO - The city's seldom-used emergency public address system crackled to life yesterday morning. "This is not a disaster. It is an announcement. Today is Tokyo election day," a female voice blared from thousands of loudspeakers throughout the city of 9 million. "Do not be alarmed."

Yesterday's election for 128 seats in the metropolitan assembly turned out to be a disaster for the scandal-plagued Liberal Democratic Party, and for that reason it is being looked to as a harbinger of more trouble for the party that has governed Japan for 34 years.
