SOVIET PAPER’S CRITICISM GEN. MACARTHUR'S POLICY TOKYO, Dec. 8. Replying to the Soviet Army newspaper Red Star, which Said that General MacArthur was supporting “the reactionary policy of .the Japanese Government,'’ a high Supreme Allied Headquarters official said the accusation was ill considered and baseless. Referring to the Red Star's assertion that the Americans would like to turn the Allied Council into “a cumbersome and clumsy organ,” the official said “the council was not intended to be an investigator or an inquisitory body nor to be misused as a springboard for propaganda, such as that in the Red Star which appears ignorant of the essentials of democracy to which the Japanese people having repudiated totalitarianism of any kind, are hopefully turning their faces.”
