4J.N. Position Will be Left By Gromyko - LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., May 13 —Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko soon will be re placed — probably permanently— as Russia’s chief delegate to the - United Nations, it was learned to night. The 38-year-old Soviet diplomat ' will be replaced by Jacob A. Malik, another deputy foreign minister and a major figure in the conduct of Russian foreign policy in the far east Malik, already on his way here by plane from Berlin, is the man who handed Russia's official declaration of war on Japan in . 1945. Gromyko confirmed that he was leaving the UN assignment in the - next few weeks to take a long delayed vacation in Russia. He was asked if he would be - back in the UN assignment for the UN general assembly meeting next fall in Paris Smiling and in ‘ an affable mood, Gromyko re plied with a shrug: “I do not know. The list of delegation members has not been drawn up yet. I do not know what I will be doing in Sept ember ” The development, even if only temporary, represented a major - shift in the Kremlin’s foreign per sonnel. And in addition to Gromyko’s ’ own hint of another assignment there were substantial reasons for , believing the solemn, taciturn UN spokesman .for the Soviet Union was headed for new and probably bigger things. One of his principal aides said < Gromyko had more than two months vacation due him and that he would leave “in a week or a ' month” to begin it. The switch will remove from the United Nations, at least tempor arily, one of diplomacy’s most col orful and best-known characters. The stolid', broad - shouldered Gromyko, whose name in Russian means “thunder,” has been with . the United Nations since its con ception in the Dumbarton Oaks conferences of 1944. ■ To the Western world, and par ticularly to the United States, he has become a symbol of the Soviet Union and its foreign policy. His name even became part of Amer ~ ica’s slang vocabulary when, after his famous walk out of the UN security council in the Iranaian case of 1946, Americans began to speak of “taking a Gromyko.” Since that day Gromyki’s name has been headline material and his actions have commanded more than ordinary attention from the press and public, „ Gromyko’s muscular right arm has signalled almost everyone of Russia’s 24 vetoes in the UN se - curity council.
