VARIANCE WITH DIRECTIVES
Washington, Dec. 2.-Mr Alexander Panyushkin today attacked General MacArthur personally and the United States generally over Japanese occupation. policies.
The Soviet representative presented n formal state- ment in the regular Thursday meeting of the Far Eastern Commission. The statement ostensibly attempted to refute previous statements by the United States representative, Maj-General Frank McCoy, However, Mr Panyushkin went farther than in any of his previous utterances in making a sweeping denunciation of alleged American and Mac- Arthur failures to carry out FEC directives.

Foolhardiness Causes High Accidental Death Incidence
Tokyo, Dec. 2-It is dangerous for Americans to live in Japan-and not because this still is an enemy country.
The fault lies with the Americans themselves as shown in figures released today by General Mac- Arthur's safety experts, who found that accidental deaths of Americans here this year will be twice as numerous per capita as in the United States.
Safety officials attributed those deaths “primarily to foolhardiness."
There have been. 197 deaths and 7,000 disabling In- Juries, all hospital cases, among American occupation per- *sonhel this year in the Far Eastern Command. Japan
constitutes the main portion in this command.
Mr A. J. Drahurd, assistant safely} direction, said: "All these deaths and injuries are believed to be pre- ventable."
rc-
Ninety percent of all those who got killed or injured were prac- tising "unsafe" ncts. The maining 10 percent were the result of unsafe

The highest percentage of persons involved in accidents was Gis.
The largest single cause of denths Was gunshot wounds. most of them the result of mishandling of Arearms.
Fifty-five men were killed by ac. cidental shots. Officials said mogl of them died in such "horseplay us seeing who could draw sidearms fastest,"
TOYED WITH GRENADE
Mr Drahurd sald only last week in Korea an American soldier was killed by using a hand grenade to toy with. Also during the past week a soldier was killed in the Philippines during a "playful fencing duel." The youths involved were using a wooden stick and a sub- machinegun in their duel.
The second largest cause of deaths waj motor vehicle accidents, in which 43 Americans lost their lives. It was the same old story, Mr Drahurd sald. Most wero speeding conditions. too fast for existing Streets are narrow, winding, rough and'dangerous heré in Japan.
