This is a different sort Of change
from that of May. 1899.
Molotov Headed Tank Output.
During the war Mr.. Molotov
took over the highly important job
of supervising tank production in
Russia. September 80, 1943, he was
awarded the title of Hero Of So
cialist Labor for his services to
the tank industry. June II, 1945,
he was awarded the Order OF
Lenin for successfully carrying out
government assignments during
the war.
Mr.. Mikoyan was credited with
the job of keeping both the front
and rear supplied with food dur
ing the war. He also was men,
ber of the Defense Committee Of
the Soviet Union. He was awarded
the title of hero of Socialist labor
September 3, 1943, for contribu-
tions to war work.
Both the new Ministers have
had considerable dealings with
Western officials and diplomats.
Mr.. Vishinsky was well known to
w. Averell Hartman, former
American ambassador to Moscow.
and Lord 1nverchapel. former
British envoy.
Both Mr.. Hartman and Lord
1nverchapel liked to recall a train
trip they made to Romania with
Mr.. Vishinsky in connection with
elections there and the Romanian
armistice. They travelled together
for several days and had inter-
esting personal discussions as they
. rolled through the countryside on
the long road to Bucharest. Mr..
Hartman and Lord Inverchapel
returned with many impressions
Of Mr.. Vishinsky on this journey.
Close Relations With Smith.
1t. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith,
present American Ambassador to
Moscow. probably had more per-
sonal relations with Mr.. Vishinsky
than with any other Soviet official.
He, too, always expressed a per-
sonal liking for the then deputy
foreign minister.
Paying a big tribute to Mr.. Wish
insky's mental ability. Americans
and Britons here always agreed
on this description: He is quite
human and approachable."
Harold Wilson, Britain's youth
full president of the Board Of
Trade, probably has had more
dealings with Mr.. Menshikov than
any other Westerner has had in
recent years. Here on two occa-
sions in connection with Anglo
Soviet trade, Mr.. Wilson saw Mr..
Menshikov several times. UNRRA
! officials also knew him.

The ambassador was asked by

Union was making a bona flde
move in the direction Of peace

Connal|y Is Hopeful
Soviet Changes Will
Bolster Cooperation
BY the Associoted Press

While hopeful that Russias un-
expected change Of foreign minis
ters might result in greater inter-
national cooperation, official
Washington maintains cautious
reserve.
Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
said yesterday:
1T is to be hoped that the
changes may evidence an approach
to international cooperation and
the search for world peace within
the United Nations.
But he commented that both
Andrei Y. Vishinsky. and Vyachle-
say M. Molotov. the man he is re-
placing, are militant supporters
"of the Soviet policy of opposition
to the democracies of Western
Europe and particularly to the
United States"
Neither" he added. "hesitates
to block action in the United Ma
tions by the use of the veto"
Vandenberg Mystified.
Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan, ranking Republican on the
Foreign Relations Committee. ad-
mitted freely that he doesn't know
what the Soviet shift means.
But he added:
while there is life, there is
hope"
However. he made this appraisal
of the two men:
"Mr. Molotov is solemn. stern,
tmperturbable-and relentless.
"Mr. Vishinsky is vivid. elo-
ouent, lively-and ruthless"
Together, he described them as
"the most accomplished pair Of
flibusterers I ever saw perform. "
President Truman. preparing to
leave today for a vacation at Key
West, Fla, had no comment on
the shake-up. Presidential Sec
retary William D. Hassett said
the matter wasn't mentioned at
Mr.. Truman's regular meeting
with his staff yesterday.
Strategy Shift Doubted.
Senator Brewster. Republican,
of Maine, speculated that "Molo-
tov may emerge in Stains place"
Senator Brewster said, however.
there Is no particular significance
to the shift in foreign ministers
as far as Soviet strategy Is con-
cerned.
Russia has a tightly knit die
tatorship," he said. Its just an
other change like moving scenery
around"

dicate that the appointment OF
Andrei Y. Vishinsky as foreign
minister means any substantial
change IN Russia's foreagn policy
However, diplomats here agreed
that should there be a shift In
foreign policy, now would be an
excellent time to put 1t into effect
Embassy officers and other re-
sponsible Western observers here
believe that members and alternate
members of the Russian. Com
munist Party's Politburo derive
their basic authority from their
membership in this top policy
body. Both Mr.. Molotov and Mr..
Mikoyan are still Politburo mem
bers.
Mr.. Molotov also remains first
deputy chairman of the Council
of Ministers of the U. s. S. R
a position second only to that
of Prime Minister Stain in gov
ernmental authority.
Mr.. Mikoyan also continues as
vice-chairman of the Council OF
Ministers.
It was suggested by American
and British observers here that
MIR. Molotov probably will devote
a large portion of his time and
energy to his work as first vice
chairman of the council. BY doing
this, 1t was suggested. he would
be easing the burden OF work
on Mr.. Stain.
The observers do not feel that
the Molotov and Mikoyan retire
ments from ministerial posts mean
any foreign policy change.
They claim no analogy can be
drawn between the retirement OF
Maxim Litvinof from the position
of Peoples Commissar (foreign
minister) for foreign affairs In
May, 1889, and the Molotov re-
tirement.
The Soviet government has
stated that Mr.. Litvinoff was re-
placed in 1899 because 1t was
necessary for a more authorita-
tive person to occupy that post
at a time when there was i'm
minent danger of war.
Soviet Document Cited.
The Soviet Information Bureaus
document, "Falsiflers OF History,
issued a year ago. said:
"As regards the appointment OF
v. M. Molotov to the post OF peo-
pies commissar of foreign affairs,
1t was perfectly clear that in SC
complex a situation. when Fascist
aggressors were preparing a Sec
ond World War, when Great Brit
ain, backed by the United States
was plainly abetting them toWarc
war against the U. s. s. r., II
was necessary to have in such 6
responsible post as peoples COM
missar of foreign affairs a politi.
cal leader of greater experience
and greater popularity in the coun'
try than M. Litvinoff."

ties In the Foreign Ministry In
Moscow.
The new appointment was OBJ
viously a promotion for Mr.. Gro
myko. Although he had been dep
uty foreign minister since 1946,
he was Junior by several months
to another deputy, Jacob A. Malik,
who succeeded Mr.. Gromyko as
head Of the Russian U. N. dele
cation.
Another shift in the Kremlin
lineup was battling and not re-
assuring to the Western observ-
ers. This was the release Of A. L
Mikoyan from the post Of minis
ter of foreign trade, and appoint
ment Of M. A. Menshikov as his
successor.
MIR. Mikoyan had been regarded
by many sources as the most
friendly Politburo member with
whom the West had to deal. He
is an intellectual, rated one of
the sharpest thinkers in the Rus
sian government, and sometimes
has been mentioned as possible
successor to Mr.. Stain.
Mr.. Menshikov has q long record
Of governmental work in foreign
trade.
1t was not clear whether he
also will inherit Mr.. Mikoyan' s
Job as head of the Economic Coun-
ell for Mutual Aid, Russian backed
counter to the Marshall Plan.
Truce Bid Doubted.
Most diplomatic observers In
London agree that the Russian
cabinet shakeup hardly foreshad-
ows any bid for truce in the cold
war between East and West. All
Of them conceded 1t might presage
some Soviet Politburo plan to WOO
the West. but only a small mi
nority say they think it actually
does. Mr.. Vishinsky in place of
Mr.. Molotov is not construed as
much Of a peace move.
Many diplomats speculated that
the former foreign minister is on
the way upstairs to greater power,
although conceding frankly they
have no inside information to
guide them.
There was speculation that
aging Primo Minister -Stalir1,s now
6g Is preparing to hand over
power to Mr.. Molotov, his No. I
lieutenant.
An informed source, close to
Britain's Foreign Office. said he
believed Mr.. Molotov was about to
become sort of super-director Of
Russian policy, or general super
visor of foreign policy"
Georges Bidault, former French
Foreign Minister who has nego-
tiated with both Mr.. Molotov and
Mr.. Vishinsky in Big Four discus
sions, pretty we'll summed up the
views on the skeptical majority
Of observers:
MY reaction is not good. I
fear that optimism would be fool
hardy"

against some extremely difficult
policy decisions. These appeared
to come down fundamentally to
the issue of war or peace-should
the expansion program which Mr..
Molotov had operated as foreign
minister be pressed forward atsthe
risk of war with the West, or
should the emphasis be primarily
on consolidation.
The tendency in Washington is
to speculate that with the shifting
of Mr.. Molotov and Mr.. Mikoyan
the decision has been made for
consolidation of all the areas un-
der direct or indirect Russian
influence.
If this is true, it does not neces-
sarily mean an end to trouble.
although it could mean less direct
conflict between Russia and the
West. The Kremlin, in fact, might
welcome a truce on many fronts
of the cold war.

Effect Of DOT SpruY
On Bird Life Studied

In areas such as Washington
state, where DOT has been wild
ely used for control of insect
pests of forest trees, results of
observations of the effect on bird
life are being followed closely.
More than one million acres
have been sprayed by airplane,
mist blowers and ground equip
ment against the tussock moth
in Washington, Oregon, and Ida
no and in some northeastern
states against gypsy moth. These
operations have included the
spraying of entire cities in the
east, such as Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton. In all of these opera
tons, single areial applications
of one pound of DOT per acre
have caused no proven loss Of
birds. But from such areas as
Ohio and Indiana come reports
of birds dying following the use
of heavy applications of DOT
20 elm trees in localized areas.
The assumption is that the birds
have died of DOT poisoning and
the purpose Of an investigation
now underway is to learn the
Facts. SpecialiStS point out how
ever, that not all of the localities
concerned have reported bird los
ses. The spraying, meanwhile,
has drastically reduced insect
populations that destroy trees.
New insecticides are being tested
in the hope of finding some that
give the necessary protection
without harmful effects to birds.
