Killtnr'i note! Thli Is mother of three excerpti from the book, "Peace with Russia?", by former New York Gov. Averell Harriman, who served as ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1943 to 1946 and recently completed a tour of the country. By AVERELL HARRIMAN (Distributed by uri) The single most vital ques tion anyone examining So viet policy must ask is: Do the Soviet leaders still consider their first objective world revolution and their primary task today to make the Soviet Union a bastion from which to launch their assault on the non-Communist world, or are they beginning to modify their global am bitions and hand their ener gies to building a Russia for the Russians in which the Soviet citizens can enjoy the high standards of living which their skills and re sources entitle them to? When I was in the Soviet Union as American ambassa dor in 1946 much of the So viet Union from its western frontiers to Stalingrad 1,500 miles to the east lay largely in ruins. Fields Barren Its fields were scorched and barren. Its villages had in many cases been burned to the ground. Those factories which had not been evacu ated to the Urals had been destroyed. But now with their remarkable energy the Rus sian people were once more cultivating the wheat-bearing steppes; they had rebuilt the villages and reconstructed industry. Since my departure I had followed the reports that So viet economic strength had far surpassed the pre-war levels and that the standard of living of the people was higher than It had been since the Revolution. The sputnik had demonstrated the genius of the scientists and the skill of its engineers. Perhaps, as some Americans had suggest ed, all these accomplishments had cooled the ardor of the Kremlin leaders for world revolution. Perhaps at last there was a tendency to develop the Russian economy for the benefit of the Rus sian people rather than to give first priority to build ing a powerful base for world Communism. s f f - ""Wsg -lOMIIIW' ' miimiisssmmismmmw pre cvSr3 - sLBBBBSBBBSBBBaBaSBBBBBBBBBBaBBBBBBBBSSSSaBBaBaBBBBaB Falcon is having the best first year any car ever had . . . over 250.000 already sold since introduction . . . going at the record rate of 10,000 every week. What makes Falcon the world's most successful new car? Economy t To begin with, Falcon is Ameri ca's very lowest-priced 6-passcngcr car. . . $64 to $154 less than the other compacts. ; "Falcon delivers the best fuel economy of the three new compact cars," says Motor Trend magazine. Owner reports and fleet operator logs consistently show Falcon mileage figures of up to 30 miles per gallon with regular gas. Falcon goes 4,000 miles between oil changes, costs less to service, less to license and in most places, less to insure. Falcon saves you more and still gives you full room for 6 big people and all their luggage. Small wonder Falcon has become first SO fast! KMiKm .

BEST SAVI3SI Ashland Students to Take Eastern Tour Ashland - Three Ashland High school students will be among 104 from Oregon, Washington and California participating in this summer's fourth annual American Heri tage tour of the eastern Uni ted States.

Youth Arrested for Taking Tire Monday An 18 -year -old Ashland youth who could not get his car started after taking a tire Monday afternoon, has been arrested by Medford police on a charge of pettj larceny. Stanley Loree Thomas told police in a signed statement that he took a tire from the rear of a house at 106 Wil lamette ave., and placed it in the back seat of his car. How ever, the car's motor died and he could not get the car start ed again, he said, so he left it and walked away. Mrs. Gertrude Lillian Gates, of that address, discovered the theft and the abandoned ve hicle, and reported the inci dent to police. Officers picked Thomas up a short distance away. What I found in answer to the question was profoundly disturbing In my recent visit to the Soviet Union I had several prolonged talks with Premier Nikita Khrushchev and had an opportunity to compare him with his predecessor Josef Stalin, It seemed to me that where as Stalin was a prophet of the Marxist creed, Khrushchev is basically a disciple and. like most disciples, even more fanatically faithful to its doc trines. Moreover, Khrushchev now has several rival high priests of communism - Mao Tse-tung in China, Tito in Yugoslavia and, to a lesser de gree, Wladyslaw Gomulka in Poland Khrushchev also likes to boast, to bluff and to threaten. Often he loses his temper and his face flushes as he wags his lingers under your chin, But a moment later he is calm again and proposes a toast of friendship. He is a consum mate actor and obviously en joys making an impression on his audience. In some respects he may be more dangerous than Stalin, because he is less calculating and careful and more impulsive. But he is cer tainly less ruthless and ar bitrary. It has been suggested he is like Hitler, but I found no resemblance whatever. Intensely Human Khrushchev though tough and determined, though a fanatical Communist and devout believer in Marxist doctrine, is intensely human. gregarious and even boister ous. Among non-party Rsusians, particularly in the younger generation, I found much evi dence - confirmed by other foreign observers in Moscow - that their dominant desire to improve their own living conditions, and that they have little interest in the further ance of Communist ambitions abroad. The engineer, the army officer or his teacher, I sus pect, is more interested in getting an apartment for himself, then a small refrig erator for his wife, or even on some distant day a little car for his family, than he is in bringing the "blessings of Communism ' to the peoples of Africa or Indonesia. Peace Uppermost Their acceptance of the necessity for a strong military establishment is based on the belief pounded into them by Kremlin propagandist that American warmongers may start another war and once again destroy the gain they have made in the last decade. Everywhere I went I found that the preservation of peace was uppermost in their minds. Perhaps one day these in fluences will play a role inl the councils of the Kremlin But at the present time I find no evidence that the cause of world revolution lies any more lightly than before upon the leaders in the Kremlin who now rule the Soviet Union's destiny; ANDY'S SUMMER SPECIALS!
