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.

He won a special oscar in 1950
for "interpreting the motion pic

And this is his third year as a

"From time to time somebody
