MacAfhur's ParIeys
Are His Own Affair,
u. ). Tells Russia
By Gornett D. Homer

The United States considers
that what Gen. Macarthur
talks about with other high
American commanders is none
of RuSsia'S business.
This was made clear by the State
Department last night after Soviet
Ambassador Panyushkin demanded
In the 11-nation Far Eastern Com
mission report on secret" mill
tary conference held by Gen. Mac
Arthur in Tokyo this month.
1T should be pointed out" the
department said, that Gen. Mac
Arthur, as top United States COM
mander. holds conferences in Tokyo
with high United States military
officers from time to time and these
are purely routine matters of sole
concern to this Government"
A report cited by the Soviet Am
bassador that the United States is
converting the former Japanese
navy yard at Yokosuka into a mod
ern naval base was branded by the
department as mot true"
1t said this base has been used
by American naval forces support
ing Gen. Macarthur in carrying out
objectives of the occupation of ia
which it is both necessary
and proper for them to do"
In Tokyo, Navy Capt. Benton w.
Decker, commander Of the Yoko-
suka base, said it was mot being
built up-just cleaned up"
Ambassador Panyushkin's action
here was considered a propaganda
move in line with Soviet Prime Min
lister Stains statement in Moscow
yesterday charging the Western
powers with pursuing aggressive
policies aimed at "the unleashing
OF new war"
The Stalin-Panyushkin state
ments were interpreted as attempts
to put new life into the Soviet's
campaign to picture the United
States as a nation preparing for
war while Russia leads a movement
for peace. The Russian record in
the Berlin crisis has belied these
propaganda efforts.

New Method Reported
In Filming Of Deep
Surgical Operations

A new technique for filming deep
surgical operations has been devel-
oped by Frederick M. Nelson, chief
photographer of the New York State
Department of Mental Hygiene.
He said the process has made pos
sible successful color motion pic
lures of operations such as the pre-
frontal lobotomy, type of brain
surgery which might entail an incl
sion 4 inches deep in the 11a-inch
opening, and other types of deep
surgery.
Color motion pictures are being
used now in the teaching of opera
ton technlques.
Mr.. Nelson described new lighting
equipment which he has worked out
for use in making color motion pic
lures of such operations last night
to members of the Society of Motion
Picture Engineers at the sound stage
of the Naval Photographic Center,
Anacostia.
The members, who are attending
a convention this week at the Stat
ler Hotel, viewed a film of pre-
frontal lobotomy.
Mr.. Nelson's equipment consists
Of a six-lamp unit mounted on the
camera tripod. There is a horizontal
metal arm attached by pins to the
camera bed of the tripod. The arm
supports two metal uprights, on
each of which are mounted three
500-watt spotlights.
Each of the six lamps is attached
to swivel joint, providing rotation
over 350-degree arc, and can be
adjusted separately to focus the
light where it IS wanted.
Since the lighting is attached to
the tripod, it moves with the camera,
Mr.. Nelson explained
A new portable magnetic film re-
corder was introduced yesterday be-
fore luncheon meeting of the
society.
The new recorder, shown by RCA,
will eliminate some of the equip
ment required for location work
with Photographic recorders, engi-
neers explained The life of the
magnetic sound track for reuse, they
said, Is virtually unlimited.
