Att|ee Expected 10 Pick
New Defense Minister
lin Cabinet Reshuff|e
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Prime Minister
Clement Attlee is about ready to
announce a cabinet reshuffle which
may bring new blood to the direc-
ton of Britain's rundown defenses
Political sources close to the
Prime Minister said today the
changes likely will be announced
this week.
The Defence Minister. A. v. Alex
ander, has been under considerable
fire in Parliament, as well as in the
conservative and liberal press, for
his conduct of the armed forces
Both the Army and Air Force have
been accused of inefficiency and
peacetime consumption politics have
swung various in the political winds.
Speculation on his successor-it
Mr.. Alexander is dismissed-has re-
volved mainly around two peers with
records in the fighting services
One is Lord Douglas of Kirtleside
formerly Air Marshal Sir Sholto
Douglas, who once commanded the
British occupation of Germany.
The other is Earl Mountbatten
who shaped the wartime Commando
force and later commanded opera
tons against Japan in Southeast
Asia.
The cabinet reshuff1e is not ex-
pected to produce any other major
changes. Mr.. Attlee has made it
practice to reshuff1e ministers
early in each new year.
Other major changes may come
later.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
subject to repeated mild heart
seizures, is reported wanting to re-
tire after the North Atlantic pact
unifying American and European
defenSes is signed.

VoticonRejects Hungary Talks;
O'BoyIe Rops Arrest of Cardinal
Mindszenty Seizure
Called SocriIegious
By Archbishop Here

The Most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle
Archbishop of Washington, yester-
day condemned the "sacrilegious
action" of the Communist controlled
Hungarian government in the "un-
just imprisonment" of Josef Car
djnal Mindszenty.
Cardinal Mindszenty recently was
arrested on charges of suspicion CT
plotting against the Hungarian gov
eminent, spying. treason and BLACK
market money dealings.
Terming the arrest an outrage
and "frameup." Archbishop
O'Boyle told worshippers yesterday
at st. Matthews Cathedral this is
not time when those who believe
iii and love justice can say this
imprisonment is none of their bust
ness. For mark this well-this i'm
prisonment crystallizes behind the
Iron Curtain the conflict between
Goddess tyranny and mans spiritual
nature
Meanwhile. Wagner Asks Inquiry.
Senator Wagner, Democrat. OF
New York, called on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to in
vestigate the imprisonment of Car
dinal Mindszenty and also to in
quire into the fate of Archbishop
Aloysius Stepinac of Yugoslavia.
Archbishop Stepinac, head of the
Catholic Church in Yugoslavia, was
arrested there in September, 1916
A month later he was convicted of
sympathizing with the Nazis. He
was sentenced to Is years imprison-
ment at hard labor and his prop
erty was confiscated. Senator Wag-
ner's requests were embodied in a
letter to Senator Connally, Demo-
crat, of Texas. who will become
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in the 8lst
Congress.
Archbishop O'Boyle in his sermon
referred to a statement made by
Undersecretary of State Lovett on
Thursday at news conference that
Cardinal Mindszentys arrest was
made on obviously false charges
Undersecretary of State Lovett was
branded a liar next day b. the
Hungarian government. In his re-
marks, Archbishop O'Boyle said
"denunciation even from such i'm
portant quarters has not stemmed
the violence of the men behind the
movement.
1T is rather a patent sign that
these atheistic men directing the
government of Hungary no longer
feel that they have to work deeds
of evil and violence in secrecy and
obscurity-they openly avow in ad-
vance what they intend to do that
all the world may know their bold
ness and arrogance.
Trial Plans Criticized.
perhaps they feel with some
measure of justice that there is nc
power on earth which will care OF
which would be willing to do any
thing else than offer kind and
sympathetic words about situa-
ton which has become in truth a
blot of blood and grease upon the
face of the earth"
The church leader warned that
governments which owe their
existence, in large measure at least
to the lives and valor and labors
of American soldiers and American
citizens should be bluntly apprised
Of the fact that they may not with
impunity defy the very principles
which our blood and sacrifice pur-
chased for them in the hour of their
need"

|0uster Of ForrestaI
Demanded by Head
Of Farmers Union
BY the Assoeioted Press

Custer of Secretary of Defense
Forrestal has, been demanded by
James G. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union. He said
Mr.. Forrestal has asked for war
making powers.
Mr.. Patton's statement yesterday
urged that Mr.. Forrestal be replaced
by "a civilian with a civilian heart
and mind" He suggested DR.. Frank
P. Graham, president of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, or former
Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia.
A Pentagon spokesman said Sec
rotary Forrestal would make no
comment on Mr.. Patton's proposal.
The military budget ought to be
cut in halt and the savings used to
increase output of things needed in
the civilian economy, Mr.. Patton
said. His attack was prompted by
Mr.. Forrestal's first annual report.
1T should be his last" he said.
Mr.. Patton said Mr.. Forrestal had
placed at the top of his legislative
program for Congress proposals
which would deliver into the hands
of the military for the first time in
this country's history the power to
make war"
Mr.. Patton cited paragraphs ask
ing legislation by which the United
States could provide military as
sistance to other countries, as well
as advisory military missions.
The report discloses, Mr.. Patton
said, that Mr.. Forrestal regards
the United States as practically al
ready at war and that he
wants to be able to strike out wher-
ever and whenever he desires to
use the military power ="
He added that Mr.. Forrestal
takes it for granted the United
States already is in a military al
lance with Western Europe-a pro-
posal that is under study at this
time.
Mr.. Patton said such an alliance
could only be made by Congress
and would fly in the face of his
toric American traditions"
The Forrestal report was de-
scribed as paving the way for the
military to break through Presi-
dent Trumans ceiling on military
budgets
