Gen. Mae Arthur
Denies Trouble
With Russians
TOKYO. Dec. 21—itf5)—General
Ms Arthur denied a broadcast re
port that his headquarters had be
come embroiled in arguments
with the Russians over the assign
ment of Soviet occupation troops
in Japan. “I'm here to serve, not
hinder or obstruct the American
government.’’ the supreme com
mander of the Allied powers said
in a statement, and added that the
broadcast report which “purported
to have been made by Larry Tighe
of the American Broadcasting
Corporation, had absolutely no
basis in fact.”
Taking the air after the issuance
of the statement, Tighe said “I re
affirm the story which I previous
ly broadcast that the express de
sire of the commander of this area
is that Russian troops not be al
lowed to take over the Japanese
island of Hokkaido.”
Foreign Ministers
Meeting Brings
Big Three Closer
MOSCOW, Dec. 21— (£>) —Ex
ploratory conversations of the for
eign ministers of Britain, Russia
and United States appear to have
brought the three countries closer
together than they were before
the meet, informed foregin quar
ters said.Certain suspicions are be
lieved to have a good chance of
being dispelled.
On the sixth day of the Big
Three foreign ministers meeting,
the sixty-sixth birthday of Stalin,
this appeared the situation on the
basis of reports in informed for
eign quarters. There is a strong
feeling that some results will come
from the meeting. These results
may be better than was originally
expected, but every difference
among the three is not likely to be
settled at this meting.
Byrnes and Bevin, it is believed,
are anxious not to raise the hope
and expectations of American and
British people too much. Foreign
ministers of the Big Three have no
desire, nor intention, of dominat
ing the United Nations organiza
tion, or of bypassing it.
