When Harchand Singh Longowal placed his signature alongside that of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on Wednesday on the accord to end the three-year Sikh confrontation with the Indian Government, many here saw it as an improbable triumph for an unlikely politician.

Mr. Longowal's political abilities were challenged on Thursday when leaders of a more militant faction of the Akali Dal, the Sikh political party that Mr. Longowal heads, predicted the accord would fail - but their opposition was expected. More damaging was the opposition of moderate leaders in his own faction of the party, especially Prakash Singh Badal, former Chief Minister of Punjab, the northern state in which most of the Sikhs live. His misgivings surprised political commentators.

International Japan's relaxed foreign-trade rules approved by the Government Friday may do little to shrink the large and growing trade imbalance between the United States and Japan, details of the measures published in Japan indicate.
