Qucsiioned regarding reports he had approached porsons outside Pnrlnment, 0n the matter of a ca- binet post, Mr. King said;

“I have not approached anyone.

During the post wcck in the Commons ho said he hoped to an- _ nounce before Parliament ndjourns a change in the cabinet.

It is expected that Agriculture Minister Gardiner will drop the Department of National War Services and devote his full time to ngficiilture. Also it is expected tho notional wnr services deport- mcnt will be enlarged and a new rninistor installed,

Among those in the Commons, ilio most often mcxitioned in a con- jcctiirsl way for the national war scrviccs post has been Brooke Cinx- ton (Lib. Montreal st. Lawrence- St. Gimme) but there has been nothing official to indicate this is other than s guess.
