 The men who really run Rus sia are disa ppointed in the work of Billy "Bald. .headed' Builltt, first American ambassador ever to Do sent to Soviet govern. ment.
 BuIlltt is intelligent, sympa. thctic, works hard and on the whole gets along with thc lsus. slams. But hc is not the big time stun they had hoped for. He cannot influence American Opin- iOn. Hc cannot heIp them iin. prove business relations with thc United States. And hc does not tn their OplniOH-- carry much weight with tho administration back home.
 Tho Krcmlin would have pre-. fcrcd . big, booming voiced, blatant, but really important American business man.
 DARK HORSE
 Probably nono of those now angling for the chairmanship Of the republican committee will get the job when t mees 10 choose . successor to Everett Sanders on June 6.
 Jim Watson, "Young Teddy" Roosevelt, Walter E. Edge, George Moses, Henry Y. Fletcher, and Hanford MacNider, all have been medically intriguing behind tho scenes for tho job. But tt doesn't look iike any have chance. The boys who control the votes haYo other plans.
 Watson believes that he has tho backing of Now York's sunvc, H0over.hating Charley Hillcs and Connccticuts water power mogul Honry t0raback. Between them they control tho largest bloc of votes. Working In alliance, they were responsible for forcing tho Sanders resignation.
 Jim iB in for q bitter dlsap. pointmont. When tho timo comes tho Hillcs. .torabnck votes arc not going to him, or any of the other scheming aspirants above mentioned.
 OTHER PLANS
 The two bosses have other plans. They arc looking for more pniatabie timber.
 The type of chairman they have tn mInd is q pcrsOnnbIc, wcIl-hccled id.wcstcrner, with an aura of "llbcrnlisn," just enough Co take him out of the avOwed tory class.
 Wisconsin's Walter ]. Kohlcr. former governor, sportsman, and bathtub manufacturer, fits thiB picture perfectly. Ho has plenty of money--a desperately needed ingredient - is tepidly progren. siye, and politically ambitious.
 The only trouble is in persuad. ing him to take the job. With all his political ambitions, Kohier is fully aware that tho chair manship is going to Do no bod of roses, will cost him plenty, and that the possibilitles of divi: dends arc extremely uncertain. MIcRRY.GO.ROU
