BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (UP) j Alexander Troyanovsky has been i officially proposed by the Soviet i government as its first ambassa-1 dor to the United States, and has I been accepted by the state de- j partment as persona grata, the i United Press learned last night. The state department notified j Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim i Litvinov yesterday afternoon that Troyanovsky was entirely accept able to the United States. It had been authoritatively reported that he would be the Soviet selection. Boris Skvirsy, Russia's forrnev "unofficial ambassador" to the United States, has been named as charge d'affaires to look after the Soviets' interest in Washington until an ambassador is appointed formally, the United Press also learned. . Designation of Troyanovsky is a broad Soviet wink in the direc tion of Japan. The new Russian ambassador has occupied only one diplomatic post and that was To kio. He is expert on Far Eastern, particularly Japanese affairs. By choosing him as their first envoy to the United States, the Soviet leaders made it clear to the world that they regard Japan as the most burning problem con fronting Soviet and American foreign policy and that it will be Tro.vanovsky's task to effectuate unstinted co-operation with Amer ica in the Orient.
