Kremlin Shakeup Will Not
Affect
The North
Atlantic
Alliance
SENATOR CONNALLY'S STATEMENT
Washington, March 6.-Chairman Tom Connally of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee asserted
today
that the Molotov-
Vyshinsky diplomatic shift will not cause the United States to "budge one inch" from its allout support of the North Atlantic security alliance. He indicated this would be the stand no matter how tough Russia gets about it.
The State Department, meanwhile, stayed silent on the Kremlin shakeup. A spokesman said the Department's official stand is that "it's their business not ours" who manages the Russian foreign policy.
Privately, some high officials noted with relief that Moscow did not immediately use the shift as a springboard for a new "peace offen- sive" aimed at weakening Western unity behind the security alliance. But the other officials cautioned that developments may come swiftly when new Soviet team gets down to work.
