President Acts to Clear Way \ For Russian Mission.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (U. P.. —President Truman will ask congress tomorrow to make it possible for Lt. Ged, Walter Bedell Smith to serve-as ambassador to Russia without losing his military rank. The selection of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's wartime chief of staff to the important diplomatic post was announced by the President last night, shortly after he had accepted the Tesignation of W. Averell Harriman, Gen. Smith's formal nomination will not be sent to the senate until congress passes legislation permitting him to take the post without affecting his military status. A - Similar arrangement was made in the case of veterans’ administrator, Gen, Omar N. Bradley. Praises Harriman Gen. Smith's appointment was expected to be greeted warmly by the Russians. His close association with Eisenhower will enhance his position, since most Russians have

; f Smith, like “a close friend of Marshal George Zhukov, It was the second timé Mr. Truman made a high diplomatic appointment from the military ranks. He recently named Gen. George C. Marshall as his personal representative to China shortly after Marshall retired as chief of staff. Mr, Truman released a letter to Mr. Harriman which disclosed that the envoy had tried to resign last April and on several occasions since then. Until now, however, the President persuaded him to stay

on. The President praised Harri-|

man for many missions of great importance. Gen. Smith is known as “Beedle” to friends. He began soldiering as a private in the Indiana national

guard. Before serving with Eisen-|

hower in Europe and the Mediterranean theater he was secretary of the war department general staff, Mr. Harriman is expected to return to private business.

By W. W. COPELAND. United Press Staff Correspondent BUENOS AIRES, Peb. 15.—The Argentine military regime today denounced as falsehoods American charges that it collaborated with the Nazis, while two new’ outbreaks of gunfire marred the presidential election campaign in which it is seeking to retain power, Foreign Minister Juan Cooke in a radio speech made a flat denial
