Panyushkin's Charges
'FantasticalIy Untrue,
Macarthur Replies
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. July 15.-Gen. Mac
Arthur said today that Russian
charges Of labor suppression and
police brutality in Japan bear
striking testimony to the outlaw
character of those who so men
daciously make them"
The Supreme Allied Commander
was replying to accusations made
Wednesday in Washington by
Soviet Ambassador Alexander S.
Panyushkin before the Far Eastern
Commission.
The ambassador said the jap
-. anese government and Gen. Mac
Arthur have launched a brutal"
campaign to suppress democratic
a elements"
"Stem From Frustration."
In answer to requests for his
views on the Panyushkin charges,
Gen. Macarthur issued this state
ment::
The allegations of Ambassador
Panyushkin that American policy
In Japan is brutal, unfair to labor
and has reduced the country to
economic ruin so fantastically un-
true and have been repeated so
often that they hardly merit an
other denial.
"They plainly stem from Soviet
Illustration in its nefarious plot to
absorb Japan into the Soviet orbit
of influence and from disappoint-
ment in the hope that through
the introduction, even though by
only small minority, or disorder
and violence it might turn the
progressive tide of democracy here
in favor of its own totalitarian
concept of despotic force.
Obstruction Cited.
Unwilling itself to contribute
even in the most minor degree to
the tremendous task of the re-
habilitation of Japan, it has. for
the almost four years of occupa-
ton, mockingly derided and with
sinister intent obstructed every
forward step that has been at
tempted. Such statements do,
however. bear striking testimony
to the outlaw character of those
who so mendaciously make them.
For the Soviet to pirate of brutal
tty. Of labor freedom and eco
nomic liberty, is enough to make
Ananias blush. At least his sin was
not compounded by hypocrisy.
LAS a matter of record, Amer
lean policy in Japan has been
and continues to be entirely benev-
oleut. labor enjoys rights and lib
critics comparable to those of the
most enlightened countries of the
world and the economy, constantly
improving since its complete pros
tration at the end of hostilities,
gives increasing indication of
soundness and normalcy. If we
could only be as psychologically
hopeful for benefcent improve
ment by the Soviet as we can most
assuredly be for Japan, the world
would be much more comfortable.

Government workers are better of

PINE BLUFF. Ark. July O.
Imagine a pitcher who strikes
out too many batters for his
own good!
One such young man is Eddie
Albrecht, 20-year-old right
handed property Of the st.
Louis Browns now toiling for
the Pine Bluff Cardinals of the
Class c Cotton States League.
His 1879 strikeouts in 1898
innings have helped the Sec
ond-place Cards immensely,
but his manager and catcher.
Harry Chozen, says:
I'm trying to get him not to
strike out every batter he
meets. That's all right in the
c leagues, but in higher cir
cults it won't co."
If Chozen fears Albrecht
might overwork his arm, 1t must
be that he just can't resist the
youngsters desire to work. For
Eddie's record Of IS victories
and four defeats tells only part
Of the story of his value to
Pine Bluff. He has saved many
other games In relief roles.
One week last month Al
brecht appeared in six games,
winning four and losing none.
