TOKYO, Japan - An education ministry panel on screening junior high school textbooks is in plenary session in Tokyo on April 5. The ministry approved a new edition of a controversial junior high school history textbook that drew strong protests from China and South Korea. Some of the eight history textbooks approved in the latest round of ministry screenings mentioned wartime sex slaves in simplified terms, but euphemism ''comfort women'' disappeared from all the texts.
