DOCTORS ORDER TO STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY
Told To Take A Rest At Swiss Resort
London, July 19.-The Foreign Secretary, Mr Ernest Bevin, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps, were both absent from their posts because of illness tonight.
The Foreign Office, in a surprise announcement, said that Mr Bevin, who is 68, would leave at the end of the week for a rest at a health resort in Europe.
Diplomatic officials report that the Foreign Secretary's long-standing heart and high blood pressure condition has worsened, and his doctors have ordered him to quit work at once.
