Redeployment

The New York Times is proudly conscious of its foreign news coverage. The Times has 55 full-time correspondents abroad, many more than any other U.S. newspaper. Some were sitting pretty last week after Publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, his eyes firmly fixed on the postwar world, had popped into Paris for a round of conferences. He and Managing Editor Edwin L. ("Jimmy") James had some plans for redeployment to meet the peace. Some new top assignments:

P:As chief foreign correspondent, Cyrus Leo Sulzberger II, a star in his own right despite the fact that he is Publisher Sulzberger's nephew, took up residence in Paris.

P:Into the equally important post of London bureau chief moved deadly serious Herbert L. Matthews, who had made his mark in Ethiopia, Spain, India and Italy.

P:Slated for Moscow was an amateur ornithologist and part-time farmer, the sensitive and erudite dean of Manhattan's drama critics, Brooks Atkinson, who learned about foreign reporting in censorship-cramped Chungking. (When Broadway calls Atkinson again, Drew Middleton, not so long ago an obscure A.P.man and now the Times's "find" of the war, was likely to move in from Germany to succeed him.)
