Show Churchill Key Man in British Cabinet Shakeupj 4 ' -,"'7 - Key men in Great Britain's new war cabinet are Winston Churchill, left; Sir John Simon, upper right, and Sir Khigsley Wood, lower right. In a dramatic cabinet shake-up, Churchill was named England's war czar, director of the nation's battle services. Simon, silent veteran of finance, will preside over the cabinet's economic eco-nomic policy committee as chancellor of the exchequer, and Wood heads the home policy committee, directing social and domestic problems, including food and agriculture. Chamberlain bowed to public clamor in making Churchill head of the vital service committee. He remains first lord of the admiralty as well. |
