cabinet position was predicted to- day as Prime Minister Churchill sought to fill some 100 post, in the “cflfct-akcr" government that will zrgiinlster Britain until the general election in July.

The Star's political correspondent 581d T10 found "considerable sup- port" for the view that. Mr. Bracken will lenive the Ministry of Inform- ation fol- the Admiralty. vwhile the Evening News suggested three pos- sibilities-ihe Admiralty; the Home Office or the ir Ministry.

(Mr. Churc ill Wednesday re- signed as leader of Britain's his toric wartime government to en- able lm election to be fought an clear-cut lines. He went to Buck- ingham Palace at noon to submit his resignation to the King. He returned again during the after- noon, driving tlztollgh a violent ectrlc storm, and accepted the King's invitation to form a new administration. It was announced tor that on Mr. Churchill's re- quest parllament would be dis- solved by royal proclamation June

Ibnight the body of this arch- itect of the horror camps, chief o1 Hitler's police and Minister of the , Interior, lies in the red-roofed villa which is the army headquarters.

Grey-faced. bespectacled, the, thin-upped face is turned to the iceillng, half covered with a grey ‘filmy blanket. The body is collar-

Beside the body are a. bucket and a cup and some splashes of water made while British army doctors labored for l5 minutes to save Himmler’; life after he h-sd taken

The doctor asked him to rl his mouth at this examinat ori, looked inside and appeared to be satisfied. To make-sure. the doc- tor brought Himmler nearer to a window and when he put a finger in the mouth to make a closer ex- amination, Himmler made a quick movement with his head and bit. quickly on a black spot which proved to be the stopper of the phial.
