May 1974 Germans discuss new lineup By DAVID MfNTHORN Associated Press Writer BONN, West Germany (AP) The two parties in West Germany's coalition government are meeting today to discuss a new cabinet lineup amid speculation about untold reasons Chancellor Willy Brandt's resignation. Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt, the coalition's choice to succeed Brandt, scheduled a BROWNWOOD BULLETIN meeting with the former chancellor and other leaders of their Social Democratic party. Foreign Minister Walter Scheel, heading the caretaker government left by Brandt's resignation Monday, called his Free Democratic party, the junior member of the coalition, into a separate caucus.

The government said the report was unfounded and challenged the newspaper to prove the allegation. Franz-Josef Strauss, leader of the Bavarian wing of the Christian Democrats, cast doubt on Brandt's claim that Guillaume had been under suspicion since early 1973 and had been kept in his post so the government's counter-espionage agents could 1 MA, POLAROID COLOR PACK CAMERA Where in the World but- WHERE YOU CAN CXflND A WORLD OF SAVINGS!
