At the same time, a high party informant said the key job of fin- ance imnister now has been prac- tically settled for Donald Fleming. member for Toronto Egllnion, who has been a Conservative handy- man in the Commons on a variety of affairs.

Earlier speculation had beat that the finance post would go to J. M. Macdonnell. the partyis fi- nancial speciallst in the last three Parliaments. Mr. !VlacdonnelI's age-72-apparently has knoc' ” ltim out of the running. Mr. Flem- ing, a Toronto lawyer. is 52.

EXTERNAL POST DOUBTFUL

Meanwhile. there was no infor- mation on who Will get another key post-external affairs-to suc- ceed intcrnaiionally-prominent L. 3. Pearson.

Best speculation at the moment was that Mr. Diefcnbaker - who was his party's foreign specialist before taking over the leadership -will take this portfolio tempor- arily until he can make a perm- anent cholce. No outstanding party member appeared in prospect.

But there were candidates aplenty for other cabinet posi- tions.

Among those seeing Mr. Dieteti- baker Wednesday were these:

Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, VC, re-elected for Flsquimalt-Saanich in British Columbia and just about certain to become defence min- istcr.

George H905 of Toronto Broad- vlew. former national president at the Conservatives and a possible trade minister.

NEEDS QUEBEC MINISTERS

Another caller on Mr. Dlefen- baker Wednesday was J. Wilfrid Dufresne. member for Quebec West in the last Parliamdnt. who was defeated June 10.

Mr. Dufresne could be called on by Mr. Dieleabaker to take over a department since the party has only two experienced pat'iamen- tarians among the eight returned in Quebec province in the election. Mr. Diefenbaker will want about six ministers from that province

Apart from Mr. Hamilton. tho other experienced Quebec Consen- vative MP is Leon Balcer of Trots- Rivlcres. president of the national Conservative party. Mr. Balcer also is a sure thing for a portfolio.

Some prospective cabinet mem- bers who have not yet turned up in the capital include:

Alvin Hamilton. provincial party leader in ”askatchewan. who took the qu'Appelle seat from the Lib-

gestlon that he might wind up as agricultureminlster to succeed the , veteran James G. Gardiner from the same province.
