LONDON, Feb. 19.-Prime Min
lister Churchill, impressed by the
firmness Of House of Commons op-
position to the present government,
Is expected to announce the entry
Of Sir Stafford Cripps and Capt.
Oliver Lyttleton into the war cabi-
net before = crucial debate on the
war at the next Commons session,
informed sources declared today.
Sir Stafford. former Ambassador
to Moscow, would enter the cabinet
without departmental duties, these
sources said. Capt. Lyttleton, now
minister representing the cabinet
in the Far East, probably will be ap-
pointed Mr.. Churchill's deputy min
lister Of defense to coordinate the
branches of the service.
Alfred Duff Cooper, they predict
ed, woluu take ever Capt. Lyttleton's
present job.
The consensus in the House to-
night was that a new war cabinet
composed Of Mr.. Churchill, Mr..
Cripps, Clement r. Attlee, Lord
Privy Seal; Ernest .Bevin. Minister
of Labor and National Service, and
Capt. Lyttletop would be announced
within the next "a hours.
Lord Beaverbrook, long regarded
as Mr.. Churchill's first assistant,
would be outside the war cabinet
mainly because his job as minister
of war production is the specific
one of supplying the tools of war
while the war cabinet deals mainly
with grand strategy.

even where the pipehne passed
under the centers of three large

Mr.. Elliott was not permitted to
describe the method of destroying
the flow Of oil In the wells them

that it would be easier to sink

Marks Opening Of
French War Trials
Former Premier Attacks
ConstitutionuIity Of
Proceedings ot Riom
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the ASSOCIATED FTeSS
RON, Unoccupied France, Feb.
19.-In q dramatic outbreak today
at the opening session of the French
war defeat trial, former Premier
Leon Blum, one of the defendants,
attacked the constitutionahty not
only of the court, but of the present
government Of France.
The trial was suspended immedi-
ately to permit the prosecuting at
torney to prepare a reply.
M. Blum, the Socialist leader, pale
and naughty as before the war,
asked the court to declare itself
unconstitutional, since, he said. the
republic itself exists and under its
laws only the Chamber Of Deputies
has a right to indict a minister,
while only the Senate has the right
to try him.
M. Blum and Frances one-time
generahssimo, Maurice Gustave
Gamelin, a co-defendant, also
Frances defeat was military or po-
litical.
Gen. Gamelin, in a preliminary
statement, said that for the honor
Of the army and since his consci-
ence was clear he refused TO take
a further part in the trial.
Pounding the table. M. Blum in
terjected that If the army were
eliminated all that was left was to
put the republic on trial.
Gen. Gamelin, alone of the five
defendants, looked tired and Ill.
The other three are former Premier
Edouard Daladier, former Air Min
lister Guy La Chambre and Pierre
Jacomet, former administrator OF
national defense industries.
On hand to report this strange
post-mortem of Frances collapse
and Germany's victory was a large
battery of German and other Axis
correspondents, while working across
from them was q smaller group Of
American correspondents. Only a
handful of other spectators could
squeezein.
Gamelin'S Declaration.
The text of the Gamelin declara-
ton, vague in spots, follows:
Il have always served my coun-
try. I have decided not to partici-
pate in this trial
Several times I offered to resign,
but the resignation was not ac-
cepted.
st have been condemned on the
political plan without being able to
present a defense. Today I would
have to give French and foreign
names and I refuse to do so.
"I wish above all that the army
remain the guarantee Of the inde-
pendence of our country.
II ask my two attorneys to keep
silent, as I do, and for the same
patriotic reason"
Gen. Gamelin's counsel, however,
declared that the court could not
condemn the aging general-that
it would be unjust to make him
bear the weight Of others faults"
