Problem Of New York
A major problem is the question
of his own projected campaign
speeches. He was to have spoken
for the Mead-Lehman ticket in New
York, for example. But that ticket is
utterly dependent upon the labor
liberal groups, to whom Mr Wallace
appeals, for victory. 1t might con-

dent to appear personally at a New

To pursue the strange workings

concerning Mr.. Harriman's appoint

pacity to handle the responsibilities
of that Office. It has to do with
the effect of his appointment on

made this the case. The question

is: Will the successor to Mr.. Wal
lace solidify the administration
lineup in a firm" attitude toward
Russia?
The answer is, yes. Mr. Harri-
man had lost most of his patience
with the Soviet government long
before he resigned from the Mos
cow post. He has not regained much
if any of it in London and Paris.
BY all reports he is completely in
line with the Byrnes-Connally Van
