No Cabinet Changes,
Argentina Chief
Answers Rumors
President Ortiz Appears
Assured Of Confidence
Vote This Evening
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. A.-Presi-
dent Roberto Ortiz, apparently as
sured of a vote of confidence by the
Argentine Senate and Chamber OF
Deputies, stood pat today on his
present cabinet and declared it will
not be changed.
Observers had expressed the opin-
ion a reshuffle of the cabinet was
inevitable to hitch Argentina's Lib
eral and Conservative elements
through the crisis following land
purchase scandal.
But today the Presidents secre-
tary issued a formal statement say
ing that "rumors circulating in the
capital and from abroad regarding
q future reorganization Of the cah-
net are absolutely untrue"
Confidence Vote Expected.
Barring unforeseen developments
the ailing President was expected
to win an overwhelming vote OF
confidence at joint session OF the
SENATE anu SIldIIlDcT VI OcpuIlCo
summoned this afternoon to con-
slider his rendered resignation.
Political observers believed that
the Presidents offer to resign had
served the double purpose OF re-
buking officials implicated in the
land transaction and bringing to-
gether pickering Liberals and Con-
servatives, who were seemingly In
agreement on major issue for the
first time in 10 years.
Despite the apparent certainty
that Ortiz resignation would be
rejected there was no certainty that
the President would continue to ex-
ercise the executive functions which
he temporarily surrendered to Vice
President Ramon Castillo because
of precarious health.
