WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington OJ.R) Barrin fewer than half a dozen, th major figures of the disputed Yalta conference are dead or in their declining years their fu tures behind them. But to one 63-year-old Ameri can with his eves on the White House, the Yalta papers now published are so important to his political future as to De al most a determining factor. He is Averell Harriman. the first Democrat in 20 years to be elected governor of the state of New York. To Support Stevenson Harriman has announced he will support Adlai E. Stevenson for next vear's Democratic presi dential nomination. President Ei- wnhnwpr licked Stevenson in 1952 and there is some disagree men among Democrats whether the loser wants to run next year, psneeiallv if he must run against Mr. Eisenhower, which would be likely. Stevenson will be visiting Har riman in Albany, N. Y., Satur day, doubtless to talk 1956 poli tics although the meeting was tagged as social. Regardless of the circumstances of their meet ing and Harriman's endorse ment of Stevenson, visitors to Albany report the governor to be in the posture of a candidate. Judgment Important All of this makes very im portant to Harriman the public's final judgment on Yalta and, more specifically, his role in it. Next to Mr. Roosevelt and the late Harry Hopkins, Harriman then was the big man in U.S. relations with the Soviet Union. He was U.S. ambassador to Mos cow, 1943-46. But the record is far from putting Harriman in the role of a stooge or sucker for the plots of Stalin, Molotov and company. . The books are not closed on the step-by-step means by which Generalissimo Josef Stalin came to agree to enter the war again st Japan. But, on the record as so far revealed, it is possible that Harriman had made the deal long before the Yalta con ference and without making any of the territorial and politi cal concessions to the Russians which they finally obtained. Harriman's Comment Harriman's only comment on that and other phases of the pa pers now published was that he sent 1,000 or so telegrams and received as many during his am bassadorship. He wants to con sult them before talking out loud, most of these did not ap pear in the published papers.

He shows up, also, bucking the British and the Rusisans on giving huge areas of Poland to Russia. It would appear on the face of the facts as so far developed that Harriman's close relation ship to the Yalta conference would not greatly handicap his political career. It will be up to the Republicans to alter that sit uation, if they can. Knowland Says Russia UN Charter Violator New York (U.R) Senate Re publican Leader William F.

The California Republican told a St. Patrick's Day gather ing of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick that admission of Com munist China into the United Nations would "violate the moral foundation upon which the United Nations is supposed to rest. It would be putting a premium on aggression. Kindergarten Bill Receives Protests Salem (U.R) Operators of private kindergartens said yes terday a bill to regulate their schools would put them out of business. The bill which would put State Health Department con trols on all private kinder gartens and other special schools for pre-school children was con sidered at a legislative hearing. At present only day nurseries providing all day care are cov ered by Health Department con trols. . Opponents of the measure sr.id the additional requirements under the bill would make it im possible for them to continue operating their schools. Sup porters of the legislation said the controls were needed for the protection of children against fire, health and safety hazards. House Appropriations Committee Cuts Ike's Labor, Health Budget Washington (U.R) The House Appropriations Committee, tak ing its second Democratic whack at President Eisenhower's Re publican budget, claimed today to have chopped about 10 per cent out of requested funds for the Department of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. Among other cuts in a $2,337, 522,261 money bill for the two departments and related agen cies, the committee denied all funds for Civil Defense planning for such emergency activity as a labor draft in event of atomic at tack. It knocked out a $200,000 item for "cooperative research" by the office of education and a $120,000 request to finance a new National Advisory Commit tee on Education. It lopped $100,000 off a $200,000 request for the White House conference on education and said no more would be forthcoming for this purpose. In one instance the committee gave the President more than he asked, putting up an extra $750, 000 to start research on mentally retarded children. It called this "a great and growing problem" with 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 youngsters accepted. BLM Plans To Spend $225,000 in Oregon The committee's claimed 10 per cent saving did not tell the whole story. It did not take into account what the committee called an "uncontrollable" item of $1,400,000,000 for grants to states for public assistance. Counting this in. the commit tee trimmed $94,626,600 off re quests for $2,432,148,861, wind ing up with a net reduction of about 3.8 per cent. Honolulu, T.H. (U.PJ The Hawaiian Islands were on the alert last night because of a tidal wave that failed to de velop.
