MacARTHUR’S DENIAL
“NO BASIS IN FACT" (Rec. 10.30 p.m!) TOKIO, Dec. 21. General MacArthur, in a statement regarding the A.B.C. broadcast, says the statement has absolutely no basis in fact. “For the second time in recent weeks it becomes necessary for me to deny the allegation that I threatened to resign. I am here to serve, not to hinder or obstruct the American Government. It is my full purpose to see the thing through. The question of Russian participation m occupation is a matter for other decision than my own. If the correspondent made the statement he is alleged to have broadcast from Tokio someone must have been feeding him the funny type of “ hooch ’ being peddled around Tokio on the ‘black market.’ ”
