Churchill went to Bucklng-
ham palace to be sworn in.
With him went his new war
cabinet and fighting service
chieftains to take their oaths
also.
In cabinet appointments
announced yesterday, Church
ill sent the Veteran Sir John
Simon, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, to the house of lords
as lord chancellor, replacing
Viscount Caldecote.
Sir Johns appointment
necessitates his retirement
from the house of commons
and acceptance of a peerage.

hating former first lord OF
