Vice Admiral Named Envoy To Russia WASHINGTON, (AP) — Vice Admiral Alan G. Kirk, poker-faced sailor-diplomat, was named am* bassador to Russia Wednesday as the United States held the door open for any real peace move by Moscow. The assignment came in the midst of unconfirmed reports that the Russians are considering a deal which might lift the Berlin Blockade. Secretary Acheson declined to comment at his news conference an the rumors of such Russian feelers. He called attention, how ever, to his comment of a week ago that ail official avenues of communication are open to Rus sia for any appropriate discus sions. Kirk, 60-year-old retired naval officer, has been ambassador to Belgium and minister to Luxem bourg. He succeeds Lt. Gen. Wal ter Bedell Smith, who asked to be relieved from the Moscow post and who now commands the First army in New York. Kirk commanded naval units in the invasion of Sicily and helped map out the cross-channel invasion of Normandy.
