There had been skirmishes

the gun and laid it onto a tar

Haiti Forms
New Cabinet

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti,
Jan. 19 (AP).-President Fran
co.'s Duvalier announced a new
cabinet today, with changes in
the Public Works, Justice and
Information Ministries.
A shakeup in the government
had been predicted after the
mass resignation of the cabinet
on Thursday, but the strong
man of this Negro republic kept
most of his old team.
The big surprise was the
custer of Paul Blanchet, bitterly
anti-American publisher of the
newspaper Panorama, as Infor-
nation Minister.
Mr.. Blanchet, who has sur
vived several cabinet shuffles
since Mr.. Duvalier came to
power in 1857, was replaced by
Georges Figaro. The move ap-
pesred. however, to involve ri
valry among Mr.. Duvalier's CO.
hortS rather than Mr.. Blanch-
cts hostility to the United
States.
The major cabinet change
made Luckner Cambronne,
youthful deputy and the Presi-
dents private secretary, head
of the important Public Works
Department. Mr.. Cambronne
has been co-ordinator of the
movement instituted by Mr..
.Duvalier last year to take charge
of roadbuilding and other pub
lie projects.
The movement was started
by Mr.. Duvalier after the
United States cut off massive
financial aid, claiming the Pres
ident was diverting it to his
own schemes.
