Promotion to Commissioner of Police
Minister of State is seeing Tyrer at
latter's request in week beginning August 14th.
Minister's intention is to assuage Tyrer's amour-
propre, while of course remaining firm on decision
that his retirement must proceed. Minister's
task will be easier if announcement of Eates'
promotion can be deferred until after he has
seen Tyrer. We will telegraph as soon as inter-
view has taken place. There is also point
that publicity and comment here over Tyrer's
retirement have died away and we think that if
announcement of Eates' promotion can be held
for a little while longer that will diminish
risk of stirring up interest in this again.
