SQIPIQS ____

By FARCY ODONNELL OTTAWA. June i3—-(OP)—-Polit- ioal observers believe the Cabinet shuffle announced Friday was the first of a series before the end of

' the year. Reaignations and ap-

pointments to the Senate are ex-

_ peoted to necessitate furtherlshlfts.

To start. Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King. scheduled to turn over party leadership to a succes- sor ln August, will have to choose s, successor to Justice Minister Ila- ley alter the end of June.

Mr. Ilsley plans» to enter the Montreal law firm of the late Col. J. L. Ralaton. wartime Defence

Minister. Mr. Ilaley is eirpected to retain his seat as a private mem- ber of the Commons. Solicitor- General Jean is mentioned as a. likely successor to Mr. Iisley. Postmaster-G e n e r a l Bertrand, once a crown prosecutor in Mont- i-eal and a member of the Cabinet longer than Mr. Jean, might be given first choice of the Justice Portfolio. Works Minister Fourn- ier. a Hull, Que, lawyer“ was sworn into the Cabinet the same d8Y-—OC$. 7 will-as Mr. Bertrand. However, it is said that Mr. Four- nier would like a. bench appoint- ment rather than a new portfolio. Should a vacancy arise in the Solicitor-Generals post, there are several possible appointees. Those mentioned include Jean Lesage (L- Montmagny Ulslet). Ralph May- bank (L-Wimiipeg south centre), Hull“! Laipolnte (L-Lotbiniere), Eugene Marquis, (L-Kamouraska),

John Dickey (L - Halifax), and Rene Beaudoin (l. -.Vaudreuil - Soulanges) .

Wlhlie these men are qualified lawyers. Mr. Maylbank and Mr.

mpolnte are the! only ones who now hold posts as parliamentary assistants.

It is not known how soon Mr. King will relinquish reins of office to his successo . but some observ- ers believe that before he steps down he will fill at least some of the senate vacancies.

Thirteen seats now are vacant in the Senate-three each in Ontario. Alberta and Nova Scotia and one each in British Columbia, Sggkgg. chewan, Manitoba and New Bruns. wick. There are no vacancies in Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

Hon. J. Allison Glen, whose re- signatlon as Resources Minister led to the Friday shuffle, has freq- vbntly been mentioned as a likely Senate appointee.

Hort. James A. MacKlnnon, who resigned from the Fisheries 13¢. partment to succeed Mr. Glen, is also slated for the Senate.

While the Senate appointment; might mark the last duties of Mr. King,‘ it is expected that he will leave to his successor the choice of replacements in the Cabinet. ExternaiAiIairs Minister St. Laur- ent is being boosted as the most likely successor.

Dr. Jones also spoke briefly of the "lamentable situation in Pales- tine’ and called on all Christians to pray that efforts tobring peace would be successful.

In week-end resolutions, confer- ence ineinbers opposed any attempt to repeal the ban on liquor ad-

vertising and urged the Federal Government to set up a Royal Commission to investigate "all ramifications of the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages in Canada as they affect the revenue of Federal and Pro- vincial Governments."

The Comrnissi would also n- vestigate liquor profits as they "rs-

late to political campaign funds and other matters." The conference will also ask

Ottawa to repeal sections of the Criminal Code which permit raf- fles and games for religious and charitable institutions and gamb- ling at fairs.

' Liberal members at provincial usu-

cuscs late last week condemned the Government's financial poli- cies as responsible for defeats in both the Federal and Provincial fields.

From behind the closed doors of the provincial caucus-rooms has leaked the-report that a large sec- tion of Quebec's 55 Liberal mem- bers are sharply resentful of Mr. Abbott's budget to which they at- tribute the party's recent losses at the polls.

Youth To Forget Emigration Plans

LONDON, June 13 -- Winston Churchill Saturday called on Brit. 0171's lmith to Elve up dreams of emigrating and remain at home to 116113 in the mother country! fight for economic recovery.

That tight, he said in a vigorous fidd-‘fe-SS l0 3.000 members of Young Conservative Clubs, will require the prompt ending of the Labor Government's program of nation- nlizatlon, and a defeat of Social- ists in an early election.

"Unless we free our country, while time remains, from the per- verse doctrines of %ialism there can be no hope of recovery," he said.

“This island cannot maintain its population as a great power under a Socialist or collective sys- tem. The most energetic and the nimblest will emigrate, and we should be left with a horde of safe officials brooding over a. vast mass of worried, hungry and broken human beings."

Then he advised the youths to remain.

“stay here and fight it out," he

urged. “Fight for the life of Brit- ain.” The Conservative leader charged that Britain's Labor Government had become dependent on the gen- erosity of the United States.

"How Socialist ministers can go about brag-ring of their social pro- gram and the nationalization of industry on party lines. how they can deride the system of free ent- erprise and capitalism which makes America great and wealthy, and then, at the same time, eagerly seek the aid which has hitherto been so generously granted from across the Atlantic-that is a g1‘!- mace which baffles the limitations of our language to eicplain."

Artillery Clashes

By MAX BOYD

CAIRO, June lii-iAlPi-Hesvy infantry and artillery clashes in Upper Galilee threatened today the continuation of the three-day- olo‘ truce between Israeli and Arab troops in Palestine. Each side blamed the other.

‘Both said they would defend themselves, regardless of the arm- istice, unless the fighting ceased at once. Two United Nations truce observers went to the front in Northeastern Palestine. where the sound of shelling was heard all day yesterday.

Food Reaches Jerumlevni

For the first time in more than seven weeks, a food convoy reach- ecl the 90,000 Jews in the modern sections of Jerusalem. The trucks rolled into the Holy City after travelling over an alternate route through the Judesn hills which Jewish engineers quickly built to bypass the Arab blockade of the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway in the Latrun area.

A Jewish spokesman said the convoy was fired upon by Arab Legion troops yesterday afternoon but no hits were scored. Legion military commanders in Jerusalem objected to the arrival of the un- checked convoy, changing the cease-fire arrangement had been breached.

William Buniett, United States consul general. of the truce oom- m-lssdon went to the area immedi- ately ivest. of Jerusalem to prevent fighting. The Jewish Agency was asked not to bring in unchecked convoys.

Charges, Counter-Charges

Israel's Government accused the Syrians of several truce violations in Galilee and notified a U. N. re- presentative it "would have to re- servo the right" to protect itself against aggressive action there.

“The Israeli army was under a strict order to observe the truce, but has been compelled to renew its activities in self-defence," Jew- ish authorities sald in a letter to John Reedman, a ember of the U. N. staff in Tel Avlv.

simultaneously Syrian Premier Jamil Mardam Bey said the Jews
