Arrest in Semiconductor Case: Police said they have rearrested the president of a Japanese machinery company on suspicion of selling restricted semiconductor manufacturing equipment to East
Germany. A Japanese police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Hirokuni Matsuda, president of Prometron Technics Corp., exported the equipment without government approval. The
