Attiee Shuffles
British Cabinet;
Seeking Support
B. K. II. Khackford
fUnltMl I'reM Slafr CorrtaMundtnt)
London, March 1 till Prime
Minister Clement R. Attiee re
shuffled his socialist government
today and called on laborites in
the new commons for the closest
support to prevent its fall.
The new commons was sched
uled to meet at 2:30 p.m. (9:30
a.m. EST) for the first time to
organize for the session. Attlee's
labor party has a shaky majority
of only seven seats in the new
house and a defeat on any major
issue would force the government
to resign.
Attiee emphasized the constant
threat of defeat in a speech at a
secret caucus of labor members
before commons met.
He called for the tightest dis
cipline. He was believed to have
pointed out that absences from
house sessions, Intentional or oth
erwise, might bring down the
government.
Attiee introduced his new gov
ernment to the caucus. It in
cluded the same old faces in the
front ranks, Herbert Morrison as
lord president of council, Ernest
Bevin as foreign secretary and
sir btanord v-ripps as chancellor
of the exchequer.
Aneurin Bevan, leader of the
party's left wing, also was in his
old post as heallh minister de
spite persistent rumors that he
. had been tapped for a higher
otiice. . .
5 Members Dropped
But Attiee dropped five mem
bers of his old government alto
gether and gave new jobs to a
number of other ministers. He
named Emanuel Shinwell defense
minister and promoted him to the
inner cabinet or Shinwell had
been dropped from the Inner cir
cle In 1947 after muddling a fuel
crisis.
No business or speeches were
scheduled at todays organiza
tional session of commons. They
will come after the formal cere
monial opening next Monday, to
be featured by the king's speech
outlining labor's plans for the
new session, -
A commission of lords today
will inform members of commons
that they are to choose a speak
er. In this case it will be Doug
las Clifton-Brown, who also was
speaker in the old house.
. Once the speaker hns been In
stalled, members of parliament
will be sworn in and the meeting
adjourned.
Attiee announced his new cabi
net early today after the nomina
tions were approved by King
George VI.
In addition to Shinwell, Attiee
promoted to his Inner cabinet
Hector McNeil as new secretary
of state for Scotland, James
Griffiths as . colonial secretary,
and Patrick Gordon-Walker as
commonwealth secretary.
Some New Jobs
Attiee kept in the Inner cabi
net but gave new jobs to Hugh
Dalton, former chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, and Viscount
Alexander, former defense minis
ter. Dalton was made minister of
town and country planning. Alex
ander took over Dalton's old job
of chancellor of the duchy of
Lancaster.
Most Important changes in the
non-cabinet ministries were the
shift of John Strachey from food
minister to war secretary, the ele-

was concerned when a duckling
on his farm parked on a hick

The trouble, he found out. was

webless feet like a chicken. Ley
tham decided to help and manu
factured an artificial web.
After several' guided lessons In
a tub, the duck caught on and
now gets around as well with her
artificial paddles as most ducks
do with their real ones.

California Gang
Witness Victim
Of Murder Shot
Fresno. Calif.. March 1 dpi
California authorities today blam
ed two unknown "eastern killers"
for the murder of Abe Davidian
key witness In the case agulnst
16 men accused of operating a
multi-mllllon-dollar narcotics ring
A single bullet from a .'A2 call
ber revolver killed Davidian, 28,
yesterday as he was taking a nap
on a sofa in his mother's home
here.
Los Angeles police last night
jailed Joe and Fred Sica, two of
the lb accused in the narcotics
case, on suspicion of conspiracy
to obstruct Justice.
Joe Sica. a former lieutenant
and body guard for Los Angeles
monster Mickey Cohen, recently
transferred his allegiance to Jack
Dragna. Dragna Is described by
the California crime commission
as the "Capone of Los Angeles."
Have Good Alibis
Police captain Lynn White said
that the Sica brothers seemed to
have good alibis, but he said he
would ask sUd.uuU bail for each,
Fresno police asked authorities
to round up other men Involved
in the Sica case. They, question
ed one of the 16, Alex Berry, for
seven hours and then released
him. Chief of detectives Ed Ellis
said Berry was not a suspect but
police felt 'he might know some
thing about the slaying."
Daviuians assassin apparently
took careful aim from only three
or lour feet away, i he bullet tore
through the victim's right temple
and came out beneath his left ear.
There was no sign of a strug
gle, and authorities said Davidian
never knew what hit him." rne
death weapon was not found.
FBI May Act
William Grady of the federal.
narcotics bureau indicated the
FBI might enter the case. Up to
now, Fresno police have been in
charge.
iNorman Neukom, u. s. deputy
district attorney In charge of pro
secuting the government's case
against Sica and his henchmen,
said he received a tip weeks ago
from "underworld informants"
that "two eastern killers had been
dispatched to take care of David
ian.
We know he was being sha
dowed and watched," he said. "But
we don't know who the two kill
ers were."
In San Francisco, Col. George
White, district federal narcotics
supervisor, said witnout uavuuan
the government has no case."
Neukom had hoped to prove
through Davidian that the Sica
brothers were the main narcotics
distributors for southern Califor
nia. I
The case has international
ramifications," he . said. "We
know the narcotics were coming
from Turkey through New York."
uaviuian was cnargeo in tne
narcotics case but his plea had
been postponed. Federal narco
tics agents had hidden him out
in Phoenix and lucson, Ariz., tor
a while but he became '"restless"
and decided to come to his moth
er's home.
THEFT MISFIRES
Charlotte, N.C. in Only the
police got a bang out of this one.
Steve Bookman reported that a
burglar entered his home and
stole two .32-caliber pistols and
some cartridges. Neither of the
guns will shoot.

Wine Expert
Gives Advice
Baltimore 'U A wine expert
who began his education In the
exacting art at the age of seven
says people should drink wine as
they eat food, "as they like it.
not with a lot of fglderol." .
Major Philip H. Harrison, who
supervised the management of
wine cellars in occupied Rome
after . the entry of . American
troops, said he is "sick and tired
of the poseurs rind pretenders
who delude people on the subject
of wine." ,
"Wine should be a pleasure, not
a problem," Harrison said.
Harrison has little respect for
"label snobs" who buy various
wines for the sake of the names.
Good wines are made in the Unit
ed States and South Africa as well
as France, Portugal and Spain, he
said. '
Harrison contends that wine
improves almost every kind of
food "except breakfast cereals"
and. is an excellent aid to 'diges
tion. However, he advises stor
ing a bottle on its side to keep, it
airtight and warns against subT
jecting it to sudden changes of
temperature and vibration.
Harrison was taught the art of
judging wines at the age of seven
when his father took him down
to the family wine cellar and
explained the differences in the
various bouquets by letting him
smell the various wines in demijohns.
