Union Official Urged As Secretary of Labor Washington -IUPU- A top la bor leader said today after a visit with President-elect John F. Kennedy that he believes Kennedy should appoint a union official as his secretary of labor. Joseph Keenan, a vice pres ident of the AFL-CIO and sec retary of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, also pre dicted that Kennedy would not fill the labor post until after he can talk with AFL CIO President George Meany who returns from Europe Dec. 10. Keenan said that Meany plans to set up a corn; mittee of labor officials to consider a list of eligible men for a labor secretary and make recommendations to Kennedy. Keenan, who has been men tioned for the labor post, said that his statements were not De Gaulle's Nuclear Plans Turned Down Paris (UPD- The French Sen ate today rejected President Charles de Gaulle's plan for an independent nuclear strik ing force for the second time in three weeks. The Senate voted 182-84 against the project, which twice since Oct. 25 has been the subject of a vote of con fidence In the National As sembly - parliament's lower house. The vote this time closely matched the 186-73 count against the project in the Sen ate Nov. 10. Rejection by ' the Senate does not kill the bill. If the Senate had approved it, it would have become law. Now, however, it goes back to the National Assembly. If it is passed there a third time, it automatically becomes law. De Gaulle, meanwhile, de cided to visit Algeria early in December despite warnings from his generals and minis ters that such a trip would be dangerous. He was reported determined to force opposition to his Algeria policy into the open. Fox Hunting Gets Encouragement St. Paul, Minn.

Calling proved most suc cessful in April, May and July during the last four hours of daylight. The researcher call ed up 73 foxes in a series of 401 fifteen-minute calls. He called up a fox every based on any information ob tained from Kennedy during their brief chat at Kennedy's home today. He said that nei ther he nor Kennedy brought up the subject of any cabinet appointments. He was one of five callers on Kennedy's appointment list lor the day. The others were Sen. George A. Smathers, a close associate of the presi dent-elect; Rep. Adam Clay ton Powell, (D-N.Y.), who will be chairman of the House La bor and Education Commit tee, and James M. Landis, New York, who is conducting a study of regulatory agencies for Kennedy. The fifth caller was John G. W. Mahanna, a World War II Navy friend of Kennedy who is now county editor of the Berkshire Eagle at Pittsfield, Mass. Mahanna was standing out side the Kennedy home with newsmen Tuesday when Ken nedy spotted him and asked him to call today. Mahanna said it was a social call. Smathers, who breakfasted with the president-elect, re ported that the selection of top members of the new adminis tration is proceeding slowly because Kennedy is seeking the best qualified men rather seven tries and average one fox called up for every two hours of hunting. Nearly half came within 50 feet of him, and some within 10 feet. Medford. Tribune Regional Edition Page 2A friends."
