WASHINGTON. May 10—(l'.P*— Constantin Oumansky, young Russian diplomat attached to the Soviet embassy here since 1936, was notified today that he has been named ambassador succeeding Alexander Troyanovsky, who was recalled more than a year ago.
Only 37 years old, Oumansky is the youngest envoy to represent a major foteign power in Washington. He has been charge d/affaires of the embassy since Tro.vanovsky's departure, but it was not until recently that his elevation became a certainty.
CREDENTIALS TO ARRIVE
Oumansky, who smilingly declined to comment on his appointment, will go to New York for the official dedication of the Soviet pavilion at The New York World’s fair May 17. His credentials as ambassador, however, will not have arrived by mall from Moscow by that time, he said.
The appointment was praised at the state department where Ouman-sky, one of the few Russian diplomats to speak English with- fluency, has many friends. Official comment was reserved until the new emissary formally presents his credentials to President Roosevelt. CORRESPONDENTS COMPLAIN
Oumansky received a "bad press” when he arrived here in April, 1936, because American correspondents in Russia had complained of his treatment of news while carrying out his duties as chief censor of the USSR. However ,he soon won wide popularity.
His name first appeared before the American public in connection with three Russian trans-Polar flights. He extended the official welcome of his country to the visiting airmen, and directed the search for one expedition which crashed near the Arctic circle and never was found.

Last-Minute- Effort Made To 3ring Russia Into 'Peace Front'
LONDON. May 10—(HR)—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today, ln a last-minute effort to bring Soviet Russia Into Europe's
peace front,” publicly assured Moscow that Oreat Britain and j France have no sinister Intention of involving the Soviets ln a single-handed war against Oermany.
Chamberlain, answering Moscow's objections before the House of Commons, admitted that the Soviets were suspicious of being drawn into an antl-aggresslon alignment in which they would be left "holding the bag" if Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s armies should strike eastward to obtain more territory for the expanding Oerman Reich. MILITARY AID PROMISED
Since Great Britain and France gave guarantees to Poland and Rumania promising them military aid ln event of aggression the Russians have suspected that the British might alow Oermany to invade the U S S R, by way of Latvia. Esthonia, Finland or Lithuania and then refrain from giving any aid to Russia.
Chamberlain made it clear ln his House of Commons statement, however, that Britain does not intend to enter into a military alliance with the Soviets.
SOVIETS COMPLAIN
The Soviets, in a formal announcement made in Moscow Tuesday night replying to Britain's newest "counter proposals” complained that Britain refused to give any reciprocal guarantees for the eventuality of the Soviet Union being “drawn into military operations in fulfillment of obligations it (the USSR.) has undertaken with respect to states of eastern Europe."
This referred to Russia's determination to prevent a Nazi blow at her own borders by lining up the Baltic states ln an anti-aggression front, including Esthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Latvia and Esthonia, according to Oerman announcements, have agreed to sign non-aggression pacts with Hitler, while Lithuania already has such a mutual pact with the Reich.

Poles Explain Relations With Russia
Offensive Allianc# Against Germany Denied by Envoys
WARSAW, May 10—(U.R»—Poland tonight hastened to assure Berlin and other capitals that the "complete normalization” of Polish-Soviet relations resulting from the visit of Russian Foreign Vice-com-mlsar Vladimir P. Potemkin bars any offensive alliance against Germany.
An official communique, dispatched to Polish envoys in European capitals, said that "Independent Polish policy which never has sought anything except defense of Its own Interests has rejected and will reject any plan of union with one nation against another." FRIENDSHIP DISCUSSED The announcement was Issued as Potemkin conferred at length with Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck on means of Improving friendship between the two nations in the mutual interest of their independence and frontiers.
Before conferring with Beck, the Soviet leader made several tele-ph^e calls to Moscow.
Potemkin left for Moscow late ln the day.
The Potemkin-Beck conversations were the first that Beck has held with an official Soviet representative since November, 1937.
POLAND TEI.LS STAND Inasmuch as the Polish government has stressed constantly that lt refuses to enter Into any military agreement with Russia, lt appeared that no actual agreement would be signed and that the 1932 Polish-Soviet treaty of non-aggres-slon would be used as the basis of friendly relations.
Nevertheless, It amounted to a victory for Soviet diplomacy at an acute state of European and Baltic affairs, ln the opinion of most diplomats.
