Release Tell of
Early Tension
WASHINGTON (i - Fresh evi
dence came to light Thursday night
that the World War II partnership
between Russia and the United
States began to fan apart even be
fore the guns stopped booming.
' This was made clear with the
publication of several dozen previ
ously secret notes and messages
related to the controversial Yalta
conference in early IMS.
Among these documents is a "se
cret and personal" message from
the late Marshal Stalin of Russia
to the late President Roosevelt in
dicating plainly that Stalin intend
ed to have his own way about or
ganizing a government for war
ravaged Poland which would be
under Russia's thumb.
Another message from Averell
Harriman, then ambassador in
Moscow, to Roosevelt, on April 2,
1945 reported growing "concern"
ever relations with Russia.
Harriman said an "accumulation
of minor incidents," beginning im
mediately after the Yalta confer
ence ended, contributed to this con
cern. The newly disclosed documents
are contained in a 1,032-page book
published by the State Department
on "The Conferences at Malta and
Yalta. 1945."
