AGENT NAMED BY STETTINIUS

To Serve as- Special Liaison Officer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (U. P.). —The appointment of a special liaison officer to expedite foreign relations contacts between the White House and state department was regarded today as filling a long-

[neglected gap between the President, ‘and secretary of state.

Charles E. Bohlen, 40-year-old [career diplomat, was named to the liaison post yesterday by Secretary of State’ Edward R. Stettinius as part of his current reorganization of the state department. Bohlen’s “appointment to the liaison. post took on added signifi cance in light of the fact that he is the government's expert on Russian affairs, He acted as interpreter for President Roosevelt at the Tehran conference and for former Secretary of State Cordell Hull at the Moscow conference. Bohlen's appointment came at a time when the urgency of another
