Zorin Named to Replace Malik as U.N. Delegate
The Soviet Union named Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin as chief U.N. delegate, replacing Jacob Malik who is returning to Moscow for rest and reassignment. Zorin is expected by Sept. 15, as the General Assembly prepares for its fall session. Malik has suffered a heart ailment and had postponed his trip.

A Creston case echoed the same ruse while a Mexico City contact claimed a prisoner could secure a $450000 trunk claim, but Muscatine recipients refused.
