Mussolini Shakes Up Cabinet

ROME--Premier Benito Mussolini today carried out the most drastic shake-up of his cabinet, party and highest military leaders which Fascism has seen in a surprise move interpreted as an effort to strengthen Italy's neutrality.

In London, Mussolini's action was regarded as eliminating pro-German elements in the high ranks of Fascism, because several of the 10 men removed today have been regarded as staunch supporters of close collaboration with Fuchrer Adolf Hitler.
