it was becoming evident this
week that the women of Japan...
1:25:06
were winning their fight to end
family contract marriages,
1:25:10
the right to equal
cigarette and sake rations,
1:25:12
and the right to vote.
1:25:15
Dress fashions are not the only
thing that have changed radically.
1:25:19
In the newly established election,
13 million women went to the polls,
1:25:24
and in an unprecedented sweep,
elected 38 women lawmakers...
1:25:28
to the house
of representatives.
1:25:31
I regret to say something
terrible has happened.
1:25:34
A prostitute,
Your Excellency,
1:25:35
has been elected
to house of representative.
1:25:38
- Prostitute?
- How many votes did she receive?
1:25:43
256,000.
1:25:49
She must have
an unusually loyal clientele.
1:25:53
Now after two and
a half years of painstaking work...
1:25:56
the war crimes trial in Tokyo
comes to an end.
1:25:59
As America prepares for another
presidential election year...
1:26:03
Japan celebrates 1948...
1:26:05
with the first anniversary
of its new constitution.
1:26:08
Mmm... not these.
1:26:13
I think this one's the best. I
thought you might like that one.
1:26:20
That's fine.
1:26:23
Court, what time is it
in Wisconsin?
1:26:25
- I can never figure out...
- Polls closed an hour ago, and I wish I had been there.
1:26:29
- I would have had one of these on every lamppost.
- No, you don't, Vic.
1:26:33
No electioneering within
50 feet of the candidate.
1:26:36
Why, General, you're not a candidate.
Just another available citizen.
1:26:40
Excuse me, General,
but I'm from Wisconsin,
1:26:42
and my folks
are voting for you.
1:26:44
Matter of fact, I would be, too, only I'm
not old enough. Well, thank you, son.
1:26:49
All the precincts?
1:26:53
This just came in
on the wire.
