Macarthur Will Allow
laps TO Print u. 5.
Political Blasts al Him
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TOKYO, Mar. 13.-Gen. Mac
Arthur directed today that the
japanese press be permitted to
carry any American political at
tacks" against him.
This was announced by Col. M. p,
Echols, the supreme commanders
public information officer. Several
stories, reporting comment on Gen.
MacArthurs presidential candidacy,
had been delayed by Allied head
quarters censorship yesterday-al-
though some we're passed, including
those critical of the general.
The general policy of censorship
over the japanese press has been
to delete criticism of Gen. Mac
Arthur as a supreme commander
under the overall prohibition against
criticism of the occupation.
Only Political Attacks Included.
Col Echols said:
when I called Gen. MacArthur's
attention to the fact that political
attacks emanating against him from
the United States were being CEN
sored out of the Japanese press, he
at once directed that this should
cease and the japanese press be per-
mitted to carry any American politi-
cal attacks against him.
This was the first time the mat
ter had been called to his atten-
ton"
Col. Echols said this policy applied
only to attacks on Gen. Macarthur
as a political candidate.
Army News Not Affected.
He added that 1t affects only the
Japanese press and radio, and has
no bearing on the policies of the
Army newspaper Stars and Stripes
and the armed forces radio network.
The latter have decided to limit po-
litical coverage to "factual news" of
the campaign.
Gen. Macarthur has never told
them what to do, and he does not
intend to do so," Col. Echols said.
Many Americans read the Eng
lish-language Nippon Times which,
by the new policy, will be permitted
to print political stories favorable or
unfavorable to Gen. Macarthur.
