Record Brings Out Harriman's Attitude Toward Communism Bt LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (u.R) Gov. Averell Harriman is not taking it for granted that the public knows he was a political leader who was never soft on Commun ism. Harriman seeks the Democrat ic presidential nomination with the backing of most of New York's big convetion delegation and a scattering of strength else where. He evidently assumes the Republicans will campaign again on the issue that the Democratic leadership in the Roosevelt and Russia Will Need Many Workers for Expansion Plans London U.R) Official So viet sources disclosed today that several million workers will be needed in the immediate future for the Kremlin's planned expan sion of industries in Siberia, Cen tral Asia and the Far East. Observers here said the dis closure might provide an im JPoptant clue to the recent an- -"luiuncement of a planned reduc tion of 1,200,000 men in the So viet Union's armed forces. A shortage of manpower al ready is plaguing Soviet indust ries which according to reliable sources here, has been trying with only moderate success to make up by increasing labor productivity. Soviet Premier Nikolai Bui- Kanin, in his keynote address to the opening session of the Su preme Soviet in Moscow Wed nesday, said that industrial pro duction is up 12 per cent so far this year over the comparable period of 195S. He said this in addition to other increases in production, reflected the "grow ing economic might of the Soviet Union." But he gave no definite figures. Present estimates put the fig ure of additional workers re quired for the planned Eastern Soviet development projects at between 3,000,000 and 3,500,000 men. Finding the labor force is un derstood to be causing consider able headaches among the Soviet leaders. Communist party chief Nikita S. Khrushchev recently called personally for "voluntary" mi gration of workers to Siberia. He suggested an immediate need for between 300,000 and 500,000 workers. Soviet publications reaching London today disclosed that some 3,000,000 workers would be needed in Siberia alone, of whom only about one fourth could be recruited local ly. They suggested an addition al 2,500,000 workers would be needed for other planned Asian industries. The Soviet Union already has resorted to special measures to influence workers and industry to move to Siberia and the Far Eastern areas. Special "conces sions" have been offered to wor kers to go east. Truman administrations was soft on Communists and Commun ism. The governor is answering up on that issue in advance, for himself. From one of his cam paign headquarters comes speech by Maj. Gen. John R. Deane. Deane was chief of the U.S. military mission to Mos cow, 1943-45. Harriman was U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union. What Deane has to say would be a very effective answer to the soft-on-Communism issue if Harriman were nominated and it were raised against him. For example: "It was very interesting for me to observe the fine balance that Gov. Harriman was able to maintain between helping the Soviet Union to help us win the war . . . while at the same time rigorously protecting the post war interests of the United States. "He discerned and he warned that our wartime friendship with the Soviet Union was a fragile thing, born of expedience, and it was almost certain to collapse once the war was won." There's a touch of complaint against wartime friendship in one passage: "Had the British and our own government held out with the same degree of firmness that Harriman did, Poland might not be behind the Iron Curtain to day." That is a grave charge, but Deane's top tribute to Harriman and it would sound mighty good in a presidential campaign relates to the proposal of V. M. Molotov that there be a joint U.S.-Soviet Union command in Japan after the war was won. "Well," said Deane, "that pro posal was no sooner out of Molo tov's lips than Harriman took him up one side and down the other and left him a burning crisp. "If not for the firm position taken by Harriman at that time, if the question had been sent to Washington and became the sub ject of debate, we would have had the most confused position in the Far East the same con fused position that we have suf fered in Germany and Austria." Harriman's campaign defenses against the soft-on-Communism issue would be pretty good. Air Force Denies Russian Charges Washington (U.R) The Air Force flatly denied Wednesday a Russian charge that U. S. mili tary planes flew over Soviet ter ritory three times in the past week. "No U. S. Air Force planes have been flying over Soviet territory," the Air Force told newsmen who inquired about a Russian protest handed to Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les Tuesday. The Communists charged that U.S. military planes flew over Soviet territory in the Baltic Sea area on July 4, 5, and 9. The Soviets also charged in an earlier note that U.S. planes vio lated Russian airways in the Far East on April 5, 12, 15 and 18. Dulles told his news confer ence Wednesday that he knew nothing about the alleged inci dents. He said he had asked the Defense Department to investi gate the Soviet charges.

Murphy's self-created post, he says, "has given me more satis faction and experiences than any other actor." The man who used to hoof with a straw hat and cane now has signed photographs of world celebrities from Presi dent Eisenhower to General Mac Arthur hanging on his office walls. He won a special oscar in 1950 for "interpreting the motion pic ture industry correctly to the country." He gives an average of three speeches a week to vari ous groups. i Murphy was the State Depart ment's official representative to the recent Cannes Film Festival. And this is his third year as a Republican delegate. "From time to time somebody gets, the idea I should run for office. But I'm in the entertain- ! i ment business.
