| Postwar Security
Farley Plans Reach
Advanced Stage

With the arrival Of the British
delegation to the postwar security
conference expected hourly and the
Russian representatives already
named, plans for the parleys at
Dumbarton Oaks reached an ad-
vanced stage today.
The British group is headed by Sir
Alexander Cadogan. permanent Un-
dersecretary Of State for Foreign AZ
fairs.
Meanwhile, Moscow has announced
appointment of its Ambassador.
Andrei A. Gromyko, as the head
OF its delegation. He will be ac-
companied by a group Of political
and financial experts.
Undersecretary of State Stettinius
will be the principal American rep
resentative, heading a delegation of
II experts, while DR.. Victor Hoo
political Vice Minister of Foreign
Affairs, will be the chief Chinese
delegate.
Hull, Halifax May Attend.
In addition Secretary of State
Hull and Lord Halifax, the British
Ambassador, are expected to attend
some OF the conference sessions, al
though In both cases their official
subordinates have been named as
principal delegates. Lord Halifax,
who still is member of the British
cabinet, outranks Sir Alexander. as
Mr.. Hull does Mr.. Stettinius.
The appointment of Mr.. Gromkyo
caused some surprise here, as 1t
had been widely reported that
Maxim Litvinof, vice commissar of
foreign affairs and a former Am
oassador to Washington. likely would
be the chief Soviet delegate. Mr..
Litvinoff was for many years be-
fore the war chief of the Soviet
foreign office and represented Rus
sla at Geneva during the long dis
armament negotiations in the late
1905 and early 1930s.
Mr.. Litvinon spent many years
abroad and is widely acquainted
with Western diplomats. He was
the unofhcial Soviet representative
in London during the early days of
the revolution.
Gromyko Is Young Diplomat.
Mr.. Gromyko. by contrast, is a
young diplomat of the post-revolu-
tlonary school who apparently en-
joys the full confidence of Premier
Stain, but until his appointment as
Ambassador here was little known
abroad. Some observers interpreted
his appointment as meaning that all
major decisions on Russian policy
Will be referred to Moscow, possibly
to Premier Stain himself.
The conference. which will be held
in the old Georgetown mansion, was
originally scheduled to open next
Monday. but has been DELAYED until
August 81 at the request of the Rus
SLAMS, who asked more time for prep
aration.
MoScoWs request may mean that
Mr.. Gromyko will bring to the con-
