Died. Saburo Eda, 69, a founder and former vice chairman of Japan's Socialist Party; of acute hepatitis; in Tokyo. Eda hoped that Japanese socialism would create an amalgam reflecting the Soviet Union's social-security system, Britain's parliamentary democracy and the U.S. standard of living. He urged his party to de-emphasize Marxian credos like class war and nationalization. But the party became increasingly radical and Eda left it last March, hoping to form his own more moderate group.
