MOSCOW. Mar. 7.-Foreign OBJ
servers here speculated today
whether the dramatic shift in So
Wet foreign ministers might bring
about new efforts to arrange a
meeting of the Big Four Council
of Foreign Ministers.
Tied in with this question was
discussion of whether the appoint
ment of Andrei Y. Vishinsky as
successor to V. M. Molotov might
lay the groundwork for another
try at solving the Berlin problem
and the whole German question.
Mr.. Nolotov handled the last
top-level discussions of the Berlin
situation in Moscow last summer,
but Mr.. Vishinsky was present at
most of the four-poWer meetings.
The Russians have made a
meeting of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers on all German prob

No Sweeping Change Seen.
The appointment of Andrei A.
Gromyko. 40, to the second spot
in the Foreign Ministry, mean
while, was viewed as an indica-
ton no sweeping change in Soviet
policy is in prospect.
Mr.. Gromyko has been an out
standing spokesman for the poll
cies of Mr.. Molotov, who. on the
basis of official announcements so
far, continues in his all-important
Jobs as First Deputy Prime Min
lister and member of the policy
making Politburo.
The announcement of Mr..
Gromykos promotion early yes
terday caused no surprise at the
American Embassy where the
opinion already had been ex-
pressed that he was a likely can
didate to step into Mr.. Vishin-
sky'S place.
MI. Gromyko has been vice
minister since December. 1916. He
served as Russia's chief delegate
to the United Nations from l946
to 1943.
Press Gives No Clues.
Before taking over at the U. NJ,
MI. Gromyko was Ambassador to
the United States, Russias most
important foreign diplomatic post,
from 1943 to November. 1916.
Since his return to Moscow last
July he has been head of the
American section of the Foreign
Ministry.
Foreign observers puzzling over
the meaning of the weekend
shifts in top Soviet Foreign
Ministry personnel received no
clues from the Moscow press.
Yesterdays newspapers carried
the announcements of the promo
tions on their front pages-but
there was no editorial comment.
Mr.. Vishinsky, with his Gus
tomary energy, went about the
routine of his new job. Saturday
night he was with Prime Minister
