He said "we will discuss de- fence needs rather fully,"', The president also said that no big decisions hav yet been made in the wake of McNa- mara's inspection trip to Saigon last week. Johnson did taf" reporters that "until we do have peace, we are going to continue to help the people of South Viet Nam resist aggression and we are going to supply whatever pren will be needed in that effort."

OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson's choice. of the Caribbean for his cabinet re- construction decisions is taking the spice out of the post-election Ottawa pastime of guessing in advance what form the minis- try will take. In the prime minister's ab- sence from Ottawa, political figures whose position usually gives them at least some clues aren't speaking with any au- thority at all. They say freely all they can do is speculate on the pattern they thought was shaping up before Mr. Pearson left here Nov. 26. Three certain cabinet vacan- cies form the starting point for for speculation here. Agriculture Minister Hays and Mines Minister MacNaught were beaten in their constitu- encies in the Nov. 8 election. Walter Gordon's resignation as finance minister was announced Nov, 11. There are rumors of more vacancies through resignation or through assignment to other duties. Most prominently men- tioned are State Secretary La- montagne and Postmaster-Gen- eral Tremblay. One political source said Mr. Lamontagne is "almost certain' to resign. TO LEAVE CABINET? Qne rumor is that Mr. La- montagne may be named to a diplomatic post, another that both men will leave the cabinet and continue sitting members.
