lister Eden resigned tonight.

lister Eden resigned tonight.
The 59-year-old English
aristocrat had completed 81
crisis-ridden months in the
nations highest Office.
1t was officially announced
just before pm. q pm. EST
that Queen Elizabeth II has
accepted his resignation.
Sir Anthony called on the
Queen at Buckingham Palace
following a 70-minute emer-
gency meeting with his cabi-
net and other government min
listers at No. 10 Downing Street.
He drove to the palace alone.
He appeared choked up and
on the verge of tears.
The text Of the Buckingham
Palace announcement:
THE Right Honorable Sir
Anthony Eden, Prime Minister
and First Lord of the Treasury.
had an audience of the Queen
this evening and rendered his
resignation as Prime Minister
and First Lord of the Treas
ury. which Her Majesty was
pleased to accept"
LONDON, Jan. 9 (R.-Prime
Minister Eden called an unex-
pected cabinet meeting tonight.
Rumors spread of a major shake
up in the British government.
Queen Elizabeth II hurried
back to London from Sandring-
ham, her Norfolk home, three
weeks earlier than originally
planned.
Position Explained
Only if there is a change in
Prime Ministers is it necessary
for the Queen to be at Buckins-
ham Palace. 1t becomes her
duty to call in another politician
and ask him to form q govern
ment. Cabinet ministers can be
changed while she is absent from
London.
Sir Anthony Travelled to San
dringham yesterday for talks
with her.
The Buckingham Palace press
officer would not say why the
Queen had Unexpectedly changed
her plans.
Qualified spokesman were not
available Immediately at the
Prime Minister'S official home,
No. 10 Downing street. to COM
ment on developments.
The headquarters of the Con-
sentative Party also would not
shed light on the days events.
There has been speculation
since the Suez crisis that Sir
Anthony might step down as
Prime Minister. but in political
circles there was no expectation
that he would take such a de-
cision in the next two or three
months.
Successors Mentioned
Chancellor of Exchequer Har-
old Macmillan and Lord Privy
Seal R. A. Butler have been re-
garded as the Prime Minister'S
most likely successors. But
neither commands the full 10y
atty of the Conservative Party,
which is still torn by disagree
ments over Sir Anthony's mill
tary intervention in Egypt.
There was speculation in gov
eminent circles late today that
several cabinet changes are i'm
pending.
Sir Anthony, who is SO, took
over as Prime Minister April 6.
1855. He has been in indifferent
health for several months. At
the height of the Suez crisis. he
went to Jamaica to rest and the
government said he was suffer-
ing from severe overstrain,
Criticism of his policies and
administration has continued in

Stricter Control
On Benefits for
Disabled Sought
Welfare Department
To Ask for Team
To Check Applicants
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG


The Welfare Department is
paying out relief grants to an
ever-spiraling number of totally
and permanently disabled" re-
cipientS on the basis of medical
findings described as both in
adequate and inaccurate" it was
learned today.
Alarmed at the steady rise of
this form of relief and the
Welfare DEPARTMENTS inability

ARRANGEMENTS. Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea is going to take
his problem to the District
Commissioners.
Mr.. Shea indicated today he
will propose that the Welfare
Department employ its own team
on either full or part time
basis to determine whether the
applicants are really totally and
permanently disabled"
See Few Applicants
The Welfare Department now
must depend on medical reports
from public and private hospitals
or private doctors. The welfare
officials who pass on the eligi-
bility Of the disabled applicants
don't even see the applicants
The actual medical records are
not made available either.
In the period from January to
November, 1856, the officials pass
ing on eligibility reviewed 1894
cases. They approved 1,716 of the
applications-in practically all
cases without seeing the appli-
cant. OF the rest, 367 were re-
jected and 88l were sent back
for more information.
Uneasiness over this high rate
of approval has turned to acute
concern as later examinations,
with the applicant present, fire.
quently indicated the applicant
was fully employable all along.
officials now passing on eligi-
bility include social worker from
the Public Assistance Division, a
physician on the staff of the
Welfare Department and a rep

Vocational Rehabilitation.

cant can be rehabilitated or has

about what is wrong with the

report on which welfare based

he said. where District General

Garden Desion
Meeting Topic

Garden Design is the subject
to be covered in a public meet
ing next Saturday at the Bethes-
da-C Chevy Chase High School.
Dave Kidd. assistant county
agent for Montgomery County,
announces that this meeting will
be held in the high school cafe
terra beginning at l pm. OF
interest particularly to new sub
urban homeowners, the after
noon session will present three
noted authorities on landscaping
Margaret Caldwell Lancaster,
area garden consultant, will dis
cuss the theory and application
of garden design on the average
suburban lot. Miss Lancaster is
secretary of the National Capital
Garden Club League.
Supplementing the talk will be
an explanation of the various
shrubs and trees which can ef-
fectively be used in this area.
j. H. Burton, one of Montgom-
cry Countys many growers, will
explain considerations and pre-
cautions on selecting shrubs.
Because Of the increased popu-
larity of hollies in home gardens,
a specimen collection will be on
display. These specimens will be
taken from the private collection
of Anthony Gould of Bethesda.

Improvements in Garden Equipment
BY W. H. YoUNGMAN

facturerS Of this type Of equip
ment displayed riding models
suitable for the larger suburban
gardens.
Timed Sprinklers
Many devices for doing a bet
ter job of watering the lawn and
garden we're on display. Un-
doubtedly they will take the play
away from the gardener who
likes to exercise the hose of an
evening because it is now pos
sible to set a gadget on the
sprinkler attachment so that II
will cut off the water after a
fixed time.
Many new types Of packages
for garden materials were shown
and they will undoubtedly appeal
more to the dealer than to the
gardener since they put the peat
moss, ETC.. in more attractive
looking containers. However
they permit handling without
messing up the car, which is a
real advantage.
Power Sprayers were also
there. and in these days OF
combating various and sundry
pests they will undoubtedly re-
ceive more attention from gar
deners. A Jogging device that
will attach to any power OF
garden equipment looked pro-
missing. but until it has been
tried out and proved. it should
remain a novelty.
Metal garden houses as well
as screened portables were dis
played and undoubtedly will Al
somebody's need.
