The American Representative in Rumania (Berry) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:20 p.m.]
41. General Vinogradov in conversation with Air Vice Marshal Stevenson yesterday afternoon hinted that Marshal Malinovsky who personally commands the second Ukrainian army before Budapest and is at the same time President of the Allied Control Commission is now here secretly, probably for consultation with Vishinsky.
As the ACC has never formally been constituted, I have suggested to General Schuyler this might be the time to press for its formal constitution.
At present the Soviet Command issues instructions to the Rumanian authorities in the name of the ACC. Thus we share in the responsibility for these instructions but we have not shared in the drafting of them.
