Macarthur Denies News
 ABC Reporter
 Explains Story

Tokyo. Dec. 2l. CUP) - Gen Douglas MscArthur denied today a radio report that he had threatened to resign if he was not let alone in Japan.
 An American BroadcaSting Company broadcast from Tok- yo yesterday reported that MacArthur had disagreed with the Soviets over which Japa- nese home island they should occupy and that he had noti- fled the State Department he would quit if he was not let alone and if the Russians were allowed further participation in occupation affairs.
 He declared today that the ques- tion of Russian participation is "a matter for other decision than my own"
 No Basis of Fact
 In a formal statement denying the radio broadcast report, he. said The statement purported to have been made by Larry Tighe of the American Broadcasting Company has absolutely no basis in fact.
 For the second time in recent weeks, it becomes necessary for me to deny the allegation that I have threatened to resign.
 T am here to serve, not hinder or obstruct the American govern ment. It is my full purpose to see the thing through. The question of Russian participation is matter for other decision than my own If Tighe made the statement he is alleged to have broadcast from Tokyo, someone must have been feeding him a funny type o1 'Hooch' being peddled around Tok- yo on the black market"
 Explains Side
 In broadcast following Mac. Arthur's denial, Tighe said:
 T received this information from a reliable and honest source, and I still consider it both reliable and honest.
 "The word MacArthur' has come to be regarded as a word denoting authoritative state ments from his headquarters rather than from him per- sonally.
 T did not imply that the Su- preme Commander, himself, in- dulged in name calling and re- criminations with the Rus s!ans. However, I reaffirm the story which previously broad cast that the express desire of the commander of this area is that Russian troops not be al- lowed to take over the Japanese Island of Hokkaido."

FireFought BeLoWZero

Nashua, N. H, Dec. 2l-tUP) IA three-alarm fire wrecked the ODonnell< Memorial Association building today and frostbitten fire men from New Hampshire and Massachusetts battled for two hours in zero weather to save adjacent downtown buildings. Loss was esti- mated at $l50,000.
 One death resulted indirectly from the blaze. An unidentified schoolboy. about 10 years old, sought to "hook" a ride on a city truck from the fire station but was killed when he fell beneath the wheels. The driver, Lawrence Staff ford 37 was held.
 Fire officials said that only the absence of wind probably prevented a conflagration.
 Bremen fought the flames from the roofs of nearby buildings. Among the structures threatened was the Fremont Theater.
 The fire-swept building, situated on High street, housed the quarters of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and of labor unions on the second and third floors, and the Nashua Youth Canteen on the top floor.
