day eased the burden of congress
sional leaders about to begin a
struggle for extension OF the ad-

agreements program.
Some of the most active opposition
to the proposed extension has come

other highly competitive products.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-New ministers
took over the portfolios of war and
information in the British cabinet
today in a politically sensational
shakeup reputedly designed to silence
internal dissent in one department

Leslie Hore-Belisha, ruddy, ro-

gained fame by brushing many cob
webs of tradition from the army
hierarchy, was replaced last night
by the conservative Oliver Stanley,
