MR. HARRIMAN & MR. EDEN Rec. 9 a.m. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.
Mr. W. A. Harriman, lend-lease coordinator in London and one of President Roosevelt's most trusted advisers, has been asked to undertake a special mission to Russia, which may end in his appointment as Ambassador in place of Admiral Standley, says the "New York Herald Tribune."
Mr. Harriman attended the Quebec conference and headed a special mission to Moscow in 1941.
A London message says that the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, is going to Moscow with Mr. Harriman shortly after Mr. Churchill's return from Washington, says the "Evening Standard" diplomatic correspondent. Mr. Cordell Hull is coming to London in October in connection with the proposed Three-Power conference.
