The Berlin radio, Nazi-controlled
stations in France and dispatches to
Spanish newspapers have combined
in the past 36 hours to indicate a
major shake-up In the Vichy gov-
ernment of Pierre Laval and poli-
tical alignments In France.
The Berlin radio announced dis-
missal of five of Laval's Cabinet
ministers Friday night In what it
said was a move to give the French
government a greater concentration
of power.
But the government shake-up
came on the heels of the revelation
that French diplomats and oificials
abroad were dropping away from

bers.
