Another liichy Shake-up is Seen possible

BERNE. Dec.29— (AP) _.A shake-up in the Vichy Govern- merit would not be surprising. dip- lomatic sources said tonight. as part of the efforts of Premier Pe- tain to convince Germany he is willing to support French-German collaboration in all save military and naval affairs.

Sources here said that one of those likely to be sacrificed in or- der to compromise on the Ger- mrin’s original request that Pe- tain reinstate Pierre Laval as

Minister of Justice.

Others whom the Germans would like to see at liberty from ministerial duties. sources here said. were Marcel Peyrouton, min- isier of the Interior and "strong man“ of the Vichy Government: Rene Belin. Labor Minister; and Pierre Caziot, Minister of Agrl- culture.

It is not regarded as likely, how- ever. that Pcyrouton will go and Petain. indeed. has once refused to make such sweeping changes as the Germans were reported ask- ng.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29—-(AP)-— Mzlyor La Guardla. chairman the American section of the Uni- ted States-Canadian joint defence board, said Saturday that the com- mittee to defend America b_v_ ald- lilzz the allies "had better divide."

"It occurred to me that the com- mittee had better divide. You could continue as chairman of the ‘com- mittee to defend America by aid- ing the allies with words’. mid the rest of us would join a ‘committee to defend America bv aiding the allies with deeds.’ That at least would identify the division which I am sure your statement will cause."

White in a statement. copyright- ed by the scifpps-Howard news- paper alliance on Dec. 29 said the only reason he was a member of the committee to defend America was "to keep this country out of war."
