Uockefeller Replaced by American Ambassador At Buenos Aires WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. iv rnited States policy toward Argen- 1 tina toughened suddenly today, a fi ove signalized by replacement of eison Rockefeller as assistant sec- Ltary of state for American re- ubiic affairs with Spruille Braden. 1 1 Rockefeller has worked ever nce he joined the State Depart- i ent last December for a friendly, vm elove approach to the Argen tine problem.

Braden, as ambassador to Argentina since that gov-jrfthient was reorganized in April, jas consistently appealed to the Argentine people over the heads of their government leaders to support the Allied cause and democratic policies. The shift restores this government's attitude on Argentina about to the point it had reached under famer Sercetary of State Hull last fall before Huli resigned. It was made bv President Truman at the insistence of Secretary of State james F. Byrnes. 'Cold Shoulder Approach' Hull had prevented the United ctates from recognizing the Argentine regime of President Farrell on wound that it had given aid and comfort to the Axis cause dur-i i- ihf war.

Hull summarized his "jcy as a kind of cold-shoulder broach which he hoped would' cause the Argentine people to gel rid of their government. At the Mexico City inter-Ameri-j in ADril. Rockefel- 3 Call I tr ioined with representatives of other American aimw iui Argentina to reenter the family of nations. Argentina then committed herself to work for the Allied jause and declared war on the Axis, and the United States recog- nized the Argentine government April 9. Policy Endorsed Braden's assignment as ambas- jador followed.

Now his recall to assistant secretary In charge if not onlv of Argentine but all other inter-Affierican policies, is regard- td here as emphatic endorsement of the policies he has pursued. Sec- Iretary Byrne3 in a statement on the appointment said these policies ir to be "continued with unremit ting vigor." The hift leave the American embassy at Buenos Aires under the direction of Charge d'Affaires Edward L. Reed. There Is much expectation here that a new ambas-ttdor may not be appointed for tome time.

25. (JP) Some diplomats here speculated tenight that Spruille Braden's ap-pelntment as U. S. assistant secretary of state might mark the be-fcming of diplomatic pressure by te United States on the military government of Argentina. It was considered significant that Braden's successor as ambas- lador to Argentina was not an nounced.

Some diplomats ex pressed the opinion that the new ambassador might not be named Immediately, leaving the U. S. embassy In Buenos Aires In charge of ajj official of lesser rank. Pressure May Be On Tils, they eald, might be the beginning of new diplomatic moves against Argentina by American nations and Britain. I Friend3 of Braden said that I while he was well equipped to I handle the Latin American affairs post in Washington, he had been known throughout his career as I I field diplomat with a dislike for desk Jobs.

This led to the conclusion that Washington had moved swiftly but nonetheless significantly, by lifting i Braden out of the Argentine post Then he has been the subject of ebviously government-directed at-u tacks, in the hope that the Argen- tine militarv regime would see the 1 handwriting on the wall. 3 ARGENTINE EXILES BETURX TO BUEN OS AIRES BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 25.

Chiang's third appeal to Communist leader Mao Tze-Tung to come to Chungking for face-to-face discussions aimed at a peaceful settlement remained unanswered last night. The Generalissimo sent his tnlrd invitation after Mao Tze-Tung asked Chiang to accept Communist Gen. Chou En-Lai as his representative. A Communist communique-meanwhile asserted that Communist forces had been attacking Japanese positions along the south coast of China near Hong Kong since Aug. 13.

Other Communist forces, the bulletin said, were pushing toward Tungkun, 30 miles east of Canton. Two towns on the Can-ton-Kowloon railroad were said to be "tightly surrounded," and a point close to the famous Bocca Tigris fort near Canton was reported taken. It was reported without confirmation that American-trained Chinese Sixth Army veterans might fly to Nanking Immediately or at least within a few days to establish forward headquarters for Chinese national forces. Gen. Leng Hsin, deputy chief of staff to Gen.

Ho, is scheduled to lead the airborne troops. (The Japanese Domel agency said that Chinese airborne troops would begin their occupation of Nanking, Shanghai and Pelping today for thereafter.
