Naming his "shadow cabi- net" -- the men page ora for keeping an eye on their oppo- sition numbers in the labor. gov- ernment--Heath: 1. Named his chief rival for the leadership, Reginald Maud- ling, as deputy leader. 2. Gave his predecessor, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, a sort of elder-statesman role with inter- ests in the whole field of for- eign affairs. . % Promoted prominent fig- ures from both left and right wings of the party.

Only the positions have changed. BID TO UNITE Political observers. described the shuffle as a bid to unite the party and disarm any op- position among Tory members of Parliament after Heath's vic- tory in voting last week to re- lace Douglas-Home as party leader. Heath got 150 votes from the Conservative members of Par- liament, Maudling drew 133, and 15 voted for Powell. Maudling will be the first for- mally named deputy leader the Conservative party 'has ever had, and becomes heir-appar- ent to Heath.

The 5l-year-old Macleod is regarded as one of the keenest minds and sharpest debaters on the Tory benches and a leader of the left-of-centre element in the party. Powell, 53, who rose from the rank of private to brigadier in the army during the war, is expected to have a right - winger's sharp eye on government spending in his "inner circle' party. DEMOTES TWO But two others in the same group were demoted. Quinton Hogg and Duncan Sandys, both 57, were named to the cabinet but without departmental du- ties. Hogg, who renounced his ill, is regarded as one of the that formerly had a strong 'influence in the title as Lord Hailsham to con- test the Tory leadership two years ago, had been a froiit- bench stalwart under Douglas- Home, while Sandys had held the shadow 'post of Common- wealth secretary, now taken 'over by party stalwart Selwyn Lloyd. Only seven of Douglas-Home's shadow cabinét kept their for- mer positions. Heath indicated in releasing the list that he would name his junior shadow ministers in the fall.

Douglas-Home, in his newly| created roving commission in external affairs, can call on ex- perience as both Common- wealth secretary and foreign secretary in former Tory gov- ernments.

VANCOUVER (CP) The, flow of grain through the port of Vancouver--with one of Can- ada's biggest Prairie harvests in prospect--has come to a vir- tual stop. A strike of grain handlers continued today despite Prime Minister Pearson's expressed hope for an early settlement. The prime minister said in Ottawa Wednesday he was opti- mistic that a meeting here to- day would provide a_break- through. But Dr. G. Neil Perry, federal mediator in the dispute, said in Vancouver he was not scheduled to meet with grain- handlers or officials of the five elevator companies.

"They've forgotten our exist- ence. They regard us as an un- necessary adjunct with canine ancestry."'

Al Derbyshire, chairman of Have you discovered Windsor Canadian? the public relations committee of the United Packinghouse, Food and Allied Workers Union (CLC), said negotiators had told him the meeting was an "abject failure from the beginning." The strike started July 27, mainly on the issue of hours of work. Company-union talks opened here Wednesday at the request of J. B. Metzler, Ontario dep- uty minister of labor. The com- pany had no statement after ne- gotiations collapsed. Mr. Derbyshire said a major stumbling block in the talks was the question of the number of hours to be worked during the company's busy season -- Au- gust through the middle of No- vember.
