CHAMBERLAIN TO
 SHAKE UP THINGS

London, May 29-(UP)-Some po- litical observers foresaw today the end of the national coalition" gov ernment that has obtained since 1881. It was predicted that within a year Neville Chamberlain, the new prime minister, might revamp his cabinet and, eliminating the present national liberal" and ma tional labor" members, make his ministry a purely conservative one. In forming his cabinet yesterday after the resignation of Stanley Baldwin, Chamberlain took care to preserve the national character of the government by including two national labor men and four nation al liberals.
 There was some expectation, however, that conservative members of the house of commons might start within the next few months campaign for purely conserva- tive government.
 The conservatives won 387 of the 615 seats in parliament at the 1885 election. There were B national liberals and 8 national labor mem- berS of commons.
