The source said that Sir Winston would re- turn, but that nobody but the 78-year-old leader himself knew for how long.

Mr Eden, he said, would come back to a post- "as important or more important" than that of Foreign Secretary, if not the Foreign Secretary- ship itself.

Reports of a Cabinet reshuffle in the autumn have been circulating ever since both Sir Winston and Mr Eden, his chosen successor,' fell ill this summer. But this was the first confirmation from a source in a pori- tion to know the mind of the Cabinet.

British Peers

Lord Henderson, a Labour leader in the House of Lords, told the House he could not understand why Mr Dulles had made such a public statement at this moment, He hoped that when the question came up there would be no doubt about the British Government's attitude In supporting Communist China'sa admission.
