ister Churchill revised his govern
ment today for a third time since
May 2, dispatching Alfred Duff
Cooper to the far east as a special

portfolio a post often referred to
as "the graveyard of ministerial
reputations" because its occupants
have been the targets, of such sharp
criticism.

assignment was not disclosed, but
It was understood his duties would
be similar to those of Capt. Oliver
Lyttleton, government coordinator

the government, however, by virtue
of his appointment as chancellor
of the duchy of Lancaster in place
of Lord Hankey.

Lord Hankey appointed paymaster

hope to God Almighty that I won't
have to vole for another one.
"But if war is a last resort, I will

retorted. "What is this terrible thing
that Is threatening us?"
As the senate began to debate on
