Candu TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese committee decision last week to halt further consideration of the purchase of two Candu nuclear reactors from Canada has set the stage for a showdown between two arms of the Japanese government. Contraditory statements issued by two cabinet ministers are characteristic of Japanese political behavior, Japanese bureaucrats and politicians generally shun open conflict.

Three hours later, Ezaki told a news conference his ministry still is considering the Candu, that the atomic energy committee's decision is regrettable and that it will have repercussions on Japan’s over-all energy policy. Reports in the Japanese flare-up from the broken line gather than an exploalon. However, there was fear of fire or explosion in nearby buildings where gas had col- lected. The line was clamped shut about an hour after the break oceurred., The council began 12 years ago with a $50-million en- dowment, the Interest from which was to be spent to support the arts and humanities. Starting In 1985, it began to receive additional annual operating money from the treasury department. This was the first of a series of events that have led to “increasing intervention by the federal government into the affairs of the council.” The report said the council has come to be treated almost like a branch of the Minister Masayoshi Ohira will be under much pressure from both the anti-Candu Japanese sclentific com- munity and the pro-Candu bureaucrats at the trade - ministry. Opponents of the Canadian reactor maintain the Japanese atomic energy budget is not big enough to include both Candu and the advanced thermal reactor being designed by a govern- ment corporation, Trade ministry ‘officials, on the other hand, base their argument on the importance of iongrange ties with Canada, a supplier of 20 per cent of Japan’s coking coal and, with the tapping of the jus Officials of the city, the gas linea are buried at gas company and the con- proper d atruction company gperating the backhoe differed in cident Tuesday there have explanations for the been about 700 gas line shallowriess of the line.
