Smiths Resignation
Stifs Speculation on
Successor in Moscow

Speculation was current today
that the United States soon will
have q new Ambassador in Russia,
following word from Moscow that
Walter Bedell Smith has submitted
his resignation.
Gen. Smith, preparing for a visit
to the United States. told reporters
in the Russian capital that he had
handed in his resignation accord
ing to FORM"
What the new year will bring"
the Ambassador added, Il don't
know"
While State Department officials
pointed out that 1t Is usual for AM
bassadors, as well as cabinet ofncers
and other presidential appointees, to
submit their designations as mat
ter Of form at the end of a presi-
Dental term, there were indications
that Gen. Smith did not plan to
return to Moscow.
Packing All His Belongings.
The Associated Press reported that
Gen. Smith was packing all his per-
sonal belongings and even his col
lection Of photographs and 1t
seemed as If he was leaving for
good In poor health, the general
has wanted to leave his Moscow post
for many months and has made
known his wishes to President Tru-
man.
When Gen. Smith was in WASH
ington a year ago, Mr.. Truman
obtained his consent to remain at
the post until after the 194s elec-
tions. The belief here Is that while
Mr.. Truman may ask Gen. Smith to
return to Moscow after a vacation
at home, an additional stay in Russia
would be no more than a brief
temporary period.
This has given rise TO speculation
over a successor. Among those mem
toned for the post are Charles Z.
Bohlen, State Department counselor,
and George Kennan, chief of the
State Department policy planning
staff. Both are experts on Russia.
Went to Moscow in 1916.
As far as could be learned, Mr..
Truman has not yet consulted the
State Department about a possible
successor for Gen. Smith in this key
post, one of the most important In
the American diplomatic service.
Gen. Smith, who went to Moscow
IN March, 1946, and Mrs. Smith were
reported in Moscow as planning to
take OF by plane for Berlin tonor-
row morning. Mrs. Smith will re-
turn from Bremen by ship and Gen.
Smith, 1t was said. expects to fly to
Washington.
