LITVINOFF
RECALLED
WASHINGTON
Maxim
Litvinoff
has
been
removed
as
Soviet
ambassador
to
the
United
States
and
will
become
vice-commissar
of
foreign
affairs
at
Moscow.
His
successor
is
Andre
Grumiko.
There
aie
various
interpretations
as
to
the
motive
for
the
removal
of
Litvinoff.
One
Is
that
it
might
be
an
expression
of
displeasure
of
the
Soviet
over
the
failure
of
United
States
and
Great
Britain
to
open
a
second
front.
Another
is
that
Litvinoff
may
be
wanted
in
Moscow
for
important
diplomatic
discussions.
Ivan
Maisky,
Russian
ambassador

has
also

Whether

In

the

stirred
fears
at
the
worst
that
a
breach
might
develop
between
Russia
and
her
British
and
American
allies.
At
best
the
removal
was
seen
as
a
move
by
Marshal
Joseph
Stalin
to
underscore
impatience
at
the
delay
in
opening
up
a
second
front
In
Central

In

the
conviction
that
Stalin

expect
