New Chief Whip

Conservative Party Leader Winston Churchill last week appointed the Rt. Hon. James Gray Stuart, M.P., a tall, well-built, soft-spoken gentleman of 43, with a handsome face and a toothbrush mustache, to be Conservative Chief Whip of the House of Commons at a salary of $12,000 yearly.

James Stuart graduated from Eton into World War I, later was First Equerry to the Duke of York, now George VI. He succeeds Captain David Margesson (who three weeks ago became Secretary of State for War) and has more power in his party than ever Jim Farley wielded, for he not only controls the party treasury and can refuse to back recalcitrant party members in elections but he hands out plums by recommending knighthoods and peerages for the constituents of good M.P.s.
