Mission to Moscow

Of all U.S. dailies, only the good, grey New York Times thinks it worth the trouble to keep a full-time correspondent in Moscow. For four years Harrison Salisbury, 45, former foreign-news editor of the United Press, has held down the job, and his heavily censored stories have often sounded more like Red propaganda than news. Last week Salisbury, who has been asking to be relieved, prepared to come home. The Times announced that he will be replaced, probably in September, by German Bureau Chief Clifton Daniel.

Newsman Daniel went to work for Josephus Daniels' Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer after graduating from the University of North Carolina in 1933, switched in 1937 to the Associated Press in New York, later reported for A.P. in Switzerland and London. He joined the Times staff in 1944, went into Belgium and Germany with the First Army. Now on home leave from Bonn, Cliff Daniel is boning up on Russian history and language before taking over his next job.
