Soviet Union Accepts Bohlen as Next U S Ambassador to Moscow
An informant says the Soviet Union has accepted Charles E. Bohlen as the next U S ambassador to Moscow. If approved by the Senate he will replace George F. Kennan, who was declared unacceptable by Moscow last Oct. 31 after five months in the post. Bohlen, a State Department counselor and expert on Soviet relations, previously served as a translator for Roosevelt, Truman, and held embassy experience in Moscow. The move follows a rapid Soviet reply after Bohlen’s name was submitted.
