POWERS FOR DARLAN
TO EXECUTE NORTH AFRICAN POLICY. SEEN IN CABINET SHUFFLE. (Received This Day. 10 a.m.) BERLIN, August 12. A radio report from Vichy states that Admiral Darlan has been appointed Minister of Defence, and General Huntziger Secretary of War Affairs. M. Pierre Pucheux, who was Secretary of the Interior, is now Minister of the Interior. The changes were decided upon during the weekend talks. The report adds that Vichy political quarters attach particular importance to the latter appointment, but states that the appointments have not yet been officially confirmed at Vichy. The agency transmitting the report offers the opinion that the appointment of Admiral Darlan, as Defence Minister, with General Huntziger in a minor post, appears to indicate that Admiral Darlan, who holds in his hands the reins of policy in North Africa, now has the means to execute such a policy.
