London, Miay 23. —(AP)—Political
circles declared today the resignation

and the elevation of Stanley Baldwin,
lord president of the Council, to that
post will take place not later than

A new urgent warning by the prime
minister’s oculist that he must not con

inseparable from his office led to the
widely circulated report that Mac-

would remain in the govern set
up, taking over Baldwin’s C> 1 pre

A big shake-up of the cabinet under
Baldwin, however, was forecast in or
