PURGE IS

0usting Chamberlain, His
Elements from Cabinet
Is Now Indicated

LONDON, June 27.-Political OBJ
servers reported that it appears
that a sweeping move is gaining
Roadway which has as its object
the ousting of Chamberlain from
the government.
1t is generally believed that the
inclusion in the Cabinet of Cham
berlain and Chamberlain elements,
have tied the hands of Prime Min
lister Churchill.
Churchill has been refusing for
some time to yield to strong APP
peals from Parliament and repre-
sentatiyes of the armed services,
who are completely in sympathy
with his aims, for a purge of the
appeasement party from the war
government. Now the demand for
the ousting of Chamberlain and
his surviving colleagues has gained
20 much strength in higher govern
ment circles that complete purge
appears under way today.

former Presidents strategy hoped
for a fair bloc of votes on the first
ballot, but regardless of his initial
strength, would hang on if succeed

switch his strength elsewhere on the
