Consul Cut Will Not Halt Kremlin Talk
Moscow sources say Russia will close its New York and San Francisco consulates and deny a Russian consulate at Leningrad, while keeping emplacements in Washington. The move does not end diplomatic ties and Kremlin talks on Germany and Europe proceed with Smith Molotov envoys awaiting capitals’ reactions.
World tensions flare as Marshall recaps Soviet moves
Secretary of State George C. Marshall says Russia’s closure of Soviet consulates in the United States and the US consulate in Vladivostok is regrettable but not unexpected. He notes Lomakin’s recall triggered Moscow’s actions and confirms Lomakin’s consular authority was formally revoked aboard President Truman’s yacht. The Kasenkina case and two missing American consulates frame a tense diplomatic standoff with Moscow citing unfounded charges. Local notices report two fires: a grass blaze at Frame Avenue and a garage vehicle fire on highway 57.
