British Air Force Chief Named
New Zealand Governor General
By the Associated Press.

6y IDc hkSOClAteQ PreSS.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-A surprise
shuttle in the R. A. F. command last
night switched Air Chief Marshal
Sir Cyril Newall, the man who built
the modern r. A. F., to the key post
OF Governor General of New Zea-
land in the South Pacific.
Air Marshal Sir Charles Portal,
47-year-old head of the R. A. F.
bomber command. succeeded Sir
Cyril, giving the youngest fighting
service its youngest chief for a
stepped-up air war against Ger
many.
Sir Cyril, 81, succeeds Viscount
Galway, who held the New Zealand
post six years.
Portals successor is Air Marshal
Sir Richard Peirse, who was ap-
pointed in April as vice chief of
the air staff to relieve the strain
on Newall, chief of the air force
Some observers believed the trans
fer of Sir Cyril to a position nor
mally of great honor but little ad-
ministrative importance in New Zea-
land might have been made with an
eye to possible future developments
in the Pacific of the German-Ital-
ian-Japanese military pact.
r. A. F. circles stressed also that
this was the first time a leading
officer suddenly was switched
straight from an important COM
mand to such role as Governor
General while still being below the
normal age retirement.
Sir Cyril was the key figure in
the phenomenal expansion program
OF the r. A. F. in the crucial years
before war broke as we'll as being the
man who fought for adoption of the
eight-gunned fighters of the Spitfre
and Hurricane types To those heav-
lily armed planes Britain today owes

the Nazi air armada.
The air chief marshal generally
has been conceded to be a success
full chief of the air staff, bearing
the brunt OF r. A. F. defense Of
the British Isles and directing the
hammer blows on Nazi continental
bases.
Portal has been in charge of the
air forces nightly raids on Ger
many as chief of the bomber COM
mand, and has been described in
less tenacity OF purpose"
