 There was heavy but intermittent anti-aircraft firing all around Lon- don as isolated Nazi planes circled through the clouds and bombed scattered points, especially in the west and southeast sections.
 Firing Is Heard
 Considerable anti-aircraft fire was heard in the capital during the third alarm and newly strenkthened air defense, including new heavy anti- aircraft guns, were credited with keeping German planes well away from the central London area.
 The days brief air alarms followed persistent but apparently weaker raids during the night. There was a pause in the Ger man raiding during the night, for the second successive nights. ana though % parts of the greater Lon don area were bombed only a few planes even approached central Lozl- don.

New Positions Created-FOrnler Prime Minister Also Retires as Head of Conservative Party-Rehabll=
 itation Work to Be Organized
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent)

London. Oct. 3-(UP)-Neville Chamberlain, champion of appease- ment and leader of the cabinet which took Great Britain into the war, resigned as Lord President of the Council in Prime Minister Win ston Churchill's war cabinet today and passed out of active politics in which he had been a key man since the last war.
 Ernest Bevin, supply minister, a labor union leader, who entered the cabinet less than five months ago to become one of the country's most dynamic leaders; Sir Kingsley Wood, chancellor of the exchequer, and Sir John Anderson were pro- noted to membership in the war cabinet in reorganization which Churchill effected incident tc Chamberlain's fesignation
 Anderson Replaces Him
 Bevin and Wood retained their posts; Anderson, who had been home secretary and home security minis ter, was given Chamberlain's post of Lord President, instead.
 Thus Churchill increased the membership in the inner war cabi- net to eight men himself as prime minister and defense minis ter; Bevin, Wood. Anderson, Wis count Halifax, foreign secretary; Major Clement R. Attlee, labor party leader. lord privy seal; Arthur Greenwood, deputy labor party leader, minister without portfolio and Lord Beaverbrook, minister for aircraft production. Beaverbrook was invited to join the inner cabi- net several weeks ago.
 Creates New Post
 In effecting his reorganization Churchill created a new poSt-Min- iSter for works and buildings and first commissioner of works. Sir John Keith, shifted to this post from the ministry of transport, was made Baron and thus enters the House of Lords.
 It was believed that creation oi his new post meant immediate gov ernment attention to the plight oi homeless people and the initiation of plane for reconstruction of bomb ed cities and towns after the war It was not until the last war hac gone on three years that a core spending ministry or reconstruction was created.
 
 Chamberlain quit his post as lead. CT of the Conservative party as vel as relinquishing his cabinet posi- ton. The British Press Association said it was foregone conclusion that Churchill would succeed to the leadership.
 Chamberlain Writes
 In resigning Chamberlain wrote Churchill:
 My unshaken confidence is that under your leadership this country with her Allies and associates will succeed in overcoming the forces oi barbarism which have reduced the great part of Europe to condition little better than slavery
 To this Churchill replied:
 T and all your colleagues have admired your unshaken nerve and persevering will. The help you have given me since you ceased to be my chief has tided us through what may well prove to be the turning point of the war.
