Battle of the Embassy. Back in Japan, Porter got in a row with able U.S. Ambassador MacArthur at a private meeting. Calling in the press later, Porter charged, among other things, that MacArthur had attacked his position on Red China and had promised "to debate the issue back in the U.S." Not so, retorted MacArthur; he had never suggested a debate. "Porter said I was being unfriendly and uncooperative," said MacArthur. "He said, I will take care of you.'

A small woman (5 ft. 2 in.), she seemed dwarfed by her instrument-a 6-ft. tablelike frame supporting a graduated series of hardwood strips with a row of tubular resonators attached. But when she started to flail away with both wool and rubber-tipped mallets, Marimbist Chenoweth proved herself a virtuoso.
