We Averill Harriman, United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union, said today that German atrocities on the Eastern Front, particularly the killing of large masses of Jews, are not and cannot be exaggerated.

Here to report to the President on the results of the recent Churchill-Stalin conferences in Moscow, Mr. Harriman told the press that German activities on the Eastern Front were completely outside the rules of war and were ruthless and cold-blooded.
