Panyushkin demanded today that the United States say whether Gen. Douglas MacArthur is planning to “reestablish the Japanese Army.” The envoy made the demand to the 11-nation Far Eastern Commis- sion. He said the question of re- arming Japan was raised in news dispatches from Tokyo, which he did not identify. ‘Whether Panyushkin got an an- swer was not disclosed immediately. Russia has been sharply critical of MacArthur's policies as supreme al- lied commander in Japan. Pan- yushkin only recently demanded and recetved information on an Ameri- can military conference with Mac- Arthur in Tokyo. - >oo Immunization Program Halted; Vaccdne Impure TOKYO, Dec. 31.—#—The Jap- anese immunization program was halted today because of the deaths of 64 persons and the illness of 900 more.
