Washington, August 6.
President Truman sont Ambassador W. Averoll Harriman to Tokyo to confor with Ganoral MacArthur on doubts created in Asia about the political implications of his recent trip to Taiwan, Administration sources said today.
Mr. Harriman, President Truman's special assistant on foreign affairs, flew to Japan on Friday with instructions to, emphasise that the United States political attitude toward the Chinese Nationalist regime must be kept carefully separated from the purely military matter of de- fending Taiwan.
He was dispatched, informants said, after Administration officials decid- od that the American political aims in the Far East have been sev- erely damaged by General MacArthur's recent conferences with Gon- oralissimo Chiang Kai-shok and by statements issued by Nationalist officials.

ESTIMATE OF RUSSIAN POWER
Washington, August 6.
Senator Millard Tydings, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committeo, today estimated that Russia has a ground force of 200 poten- tial divisions' and warned that Europe must be pressed to speed up its rearmament if the balance of power is to be shifted in favour of the democracios.
In a radio interview with General Verne Budge military adviser of the Senate Armed Services Committee,. Senator Tydings said bluntly: The situation in Europe favours Russia pre- ponderantly, and if we all become involved in war with Russia, the Russians would cer- tainly have the best of it on the ground for some time."
Senator Tydings sald the brigh- test outlook for the Allies was in the air where, he judged, "the Air Forces of Britain, the United
" States, Canada, Australla and some of the Western European countries make up a pretty good, match for the Russians...then, when we figure our country hos a large stockplie of atomic bombs as compared with what Russia likely has,
