Soviet Recalls Envoy
To Romania, Reported
Friend Of Ana Pauker
BY the Associaied Press

MOSCOW, July THE recall
of the Soviet Unions longtime
Ambassador to Romania and his
replacement by the man who has
been Ambassador to Czechosio-
lvakia were announced here today.
Anatoly l.. Lavrentiev, 48, a ca
reer diplomat and one Of the most
important men in the Soviet dip
lomatic corps, has been named to
the Romanian post, succeeding
Serge Kavtaradze, who held the
job since 1916.
In Lavrentiev's place in Prague
the Soviet Union has named Alex
ander Y. Bogomolov, long a diplo-
mat, who served as envoy to the
Czech exile government in London
during the war.
Relieved of Ministry Duties.
This was the latest in a series
Of diplomatic shifts by the USSR
involving at least three Deputy
Foreign Ministers. Both Lavren-
tiev and Bogomolov have been
Deputy Foreign Ministers, and
both, like Andrei A. Gromyko, re-
Gently sent to London, have been
relieved of their foreign ministry
duties.
In the other moves recently,
Georgi Pushkin was withdrawn
from Soviet-occupied East Ger
many and made a deputy foreign
minister; Alexander Panyushkin
was shifted from Washington to
the ambassadorship in Commu-
mist China; Georgi Zarubin was
shifted from London to the am
bassadorship in Washington.

Record Price Peak
Hinted During Year;
Some Pay Rise Seen
BY the Assoeiated Press

Prices may climb to an all-time
peak during the next six to IL
months. At the same time, how
ever, incomes, production and en-
ployment may rise moderately.
These were the highlights of a
staff report yesterday to the Sen
ate-House Economic Committee,
whose job is to keep an eye on
economic trends for Congress.
The report said the price in
crease may be from 1 to 3 per
cent, due to an expected climb in
rents and services, a recovery in
clothing prices and a slight up
turn in consumer durable goods.
Food prices are expected to re-
main about the same unless there
is a substantial change in present
crop prospects.
Based on Steel Peace. t-
The report, turned over to the
committee by Chairman O'Ma-
honey for study, bases its appraisal
on a number of assumptions-that
the steel strike would be ended
soon, that the international situa-
ton gets no worse, that the mill
airy build-up program goes ahead
as planned.
Senator O'Mahoney said in a
letter accompanying the report
that the staff estimated spending
for major defense and war-con-
nected items will total '$71.3 bill
lion in the 1858 fiscal year that
began last Tuesday. He said this
compares with like expenditures
of $57.4 billion in fiscal 1852.
$40 Billion Military Spending.
Other estimates:
About $40 billion will be spent
for military functions of the De-
fense Department during fiscal
1858. The money will come both
from the $466. billion defense
appropriation voted for fiscal 1858
and from funds the department
has left over from previous ap-
preparations.
Federal spending for civilian
functions will be $8.7 billion the
same as fiscal 1852. L.

insky are Valerian Zorin, Feodor
Gusex and Jacob Malik, the lat
ter being stationed in New York
as the Soviet United Nations dele
cation chief.
The recall of Kavtaradze from
Romania follows quickly the an
nouncement that Ana Pauker,
Romanian Communist leader who
has fallen from grace. has been
shorn of all her duties, including
those of Romanian foreign min
ister. She was reported to have
been a close friend of Kavtaradze.
The assignment of Lavrentiev to
the Bucharest post seems signifi-
cant, probably rejecting chaotic
state of affairs in that country
which has led the Soviet Union to
tighten its grip considerably.
Sent to Prague in 1851.
Lavrentiev was sent to Czecho-
slovakia at a similarly tense time,
when a major Czech Communist
purge was under way and when
the Soviet Union was sending in
experts to take over various phases
of the Czechoslovak economy, in
the spring of 1851.
Bogomolov, now assigned to
Prague, was among the high
Soviet officials who made up the
delegations to liberation ami
versary" ceremonies in Bulgaria
and Hungary in September, 1851
and April, 1852. These ceremonies
in the various satellite nations OF
Europe were used as springboards
for laying down the law to the
satellite Communist leaders, to
leave no mistake about Moscow's
ruling position.

On Bar 10 Admission
BY the Assceioted Press

BALTIMORE, July Gov.
McKeldin has turned over to the
University Of Maryland Board Of
Regents the protest of a Washing
ton colored man who said he was
