WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—As Chiha's defenses in Manchuria and North China weaken under the Red onslaught and the communization of Korea proceeds on schedule, Russian policy in Up to now, oddly enough, Russia has not seen fit to roar and (Japan has begun to stiffen. pound the table at meetings of the Far Eastern Commission here; True, her representative, Adm. Semeon Rameshvily, often has differed with the majority. But the sessions have been incredibly more peaceful than similar metings between Russians and the democracies elsewhere,

New Ambassador Brought Orders

NOW THERE has ome a change. It coincides with the arrival | here of the new Bovi¢t Ambassador Alexander Panyushkin. No sooner had he presented his credentials to President Truman than he began ‘to act like everyone has come to expect a Russian t0 act. Moscow. doesn't like the way Gen.

But more significant are some of the things which she || wants from the Far Eastern Commission.
