New Cabinet Appointment Anticipated WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent-elect John F. Kennedy began a busy round of conferences on possible Cabinet aDDointments In- day by seeing George Mcany, president of the AFL-CIO. The labor leader, whose ores ence on the Kennedy appointment list bad not been previously an nounced, showed up at Kennedy's Georgetown home at 9:10 a.m. and went directly inside without a word to newsmen clustered out' side in 11-degrcc weather. Kennedy, has been waiting to talk to Mcany before reaching a decision on the man he will name secretary of labor. Before Meany's unannounced appearance it had been thought Kennedy was concentrating today on conferences dealing with the secretary of agriculture post in his Cabinet. There were also hints from Kennedy's f.iess secretary, Pierre Salinger, that Kennedy was on the verge of announcing his choice for secretary of defense or secretary of the treasury. Kennedy scheduled separate meetings at his Georgetown home with Ralph Bradley, president of the Illinois Farmers Union, and Rep. Harold Cooley, D-N.C, chair man of the House Agriculture Committee. On tap was discussion of who will head the Agriculture Department in the new adminis trationan assignment which could be one of the most difficult of the Kennedy regime. There was no immediate indica tion whether the president-elect was close to a decision on the agriculture post. There has been speculation the job may go to Rep. George S McGovcrn, D-S.D., or Fred V. Hcinkel, president of the Missouri Farmers Association. Among those mentioned for sec retary of defense are Robert S. McNamara, president of the Ford Motor Co.; Paul H. Nitze, director of the State Department's policy planning staff in the Truman ad ministration; and Roswell Gilpa- tric. undersecretary of the Air Force under President Truman. Over the weekend Kennedy was reported Jiving serious consider ation to a Republican, Douglas Dillon, for secretary of the treas ury. Dillon is undersecretary of state in the outgoing Eisenhower administration. McNamara also has been listed as a possibility for the treasury spot.

OAT IS UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) Diplomats back ing the Algerian rebels showed confidence today that the General Assembly would call for a U. N.-supervised referendum on self-determination in Algeria. They said more delegations were sure to vote for it since French troops shot and killed many Algerian Mos lems demonstrating under the rebel flag. Official reports said 90 persons, mostly Moslems, had been killed in Algeria in the past four days, but rebel sources claimed the dead totaled more than 1,000. One Asian said the reac tion to the violence definite ly helped the Algerian case and boosted the prospective vote for a U. N. referendum toward the two-thirds ma jority needed for final ap proval in the 99-nation As sembly. An African remarked that the two-thirds vote had been assured and the new turn of events would make for "quite a comfortable margin." He said the feeling was growing that French President Charles de Gaulle could not cope with the Algerian situation. The 46-nation Asian-African group, which dratted the resolu tion for a referendum, pressed for an early initial vote in the as sembly's Political Committee. The group also worked up a let ter to Secretary-General Dag! Hammarskjold condemning the killings and asking him to take effective action to stop them. Al gerian rebel sources said they hoped he would speak out on the subject. The decision to seek a quick vote and to approach Hammar skjold were made in private group meetings Monday afternoon and night. Between tlie meetings, U Thant of Burma, chief draftsman of the pending proposal, told the Politi cal Committee the group was profoundly shocked and grieved at the news of the mass killing." He said it wanted an expeditious debate and an expeditious vote. Later he introduced the resolution formally and asked for unanimous approval. Ambassador Thant, citing rebel figures, said tlie group had infor mation that "more than 1,000 Al gerians were killed in tlie past 48 hours" by soldiers firing on demonstrators. French Ambassador Armand Berard, whose delegation is boy cotting the debate, denied this. He said he had telephoned Paris and learned the number of victims was not more than officially an nounced "and that is already sad enough." Official figures from Algiers were 84 Moslems and Europeans killed.

City Manager G. S. Vergcer read a letter to the council at its regular meeting Monday night from R. B. Maxwell, attorney for the San Francisco Land and Title Company, owner of property where the contemplated road is located. In his letter, Maxwell pointed out that the company would give the right-nf-way for the route, but attached two stipulations to the grant. The conditional re quests were (1) that the recent request to iczone the property of Lam- the company from R-7.5 to R-5 would be carried out, and (2) that the sewer line to OTI would be routed through this same right-of- way, making connections avau able to the company. Vergcer informed the council that the proposed route which would be an extension of Bichn Street had been decided on only SPORTS AND IMPORTS, an area car club, donated (25 toward the city fir depart, ment's disaster car fund thil week bringing (he lilt of individuals and organization! that have done to to a new high.

He reported he was surprised at the recent letter which now attached conditions to the grant. Assistant City Engineer Cliff Sanders infoimed the council that it would cost about I16.000 more to route the sewer to OTI through this proposed right-of-way. Considerable discussion was giv en to another route which had been proposed to the OTI campus site which would run through the McLoughlm Heights tract. , Jack Kalinoski, county engineer. was present and stated that it was his opinion that the initial of fer had no reservations to it, and the county had proceeded to de sign the Biehn Street route upon this premise. I dont see how tlie council could use zoning as a compensa tion," Kalinoski said, "I think it highly unfair of Benioff to sug gest it." . Bob Vcatch, mayor-elect and member of the City Planning I FBI Enters Bomb Case ATLANTA, Ga. (AP)-A fanatic was blamed today for an explo sion which blasted the side ot a large Negro elementary school and damaged a dozen homes in Atlanta's northwest section. 'It was the work of a fanatic. of that we are sure," said Police Capt. R. E. Little, head of a spc cial subversive section in the De tective Bureau. All available men in the Police Department were taking part in the intensive investigation. FBI agents and a demolition team from the 3rd Army entered the case on a cooperative basis. Investigators were still trying to learn the type of explosive used. Particles picked up at the scene were being tested in FBI laboratories and at the 3rd Army s nearby Ft. McPhcrson. The blast damaged the school auditorium and two classrooms and showered neighboring Negro homes and parked cars with fly ing stone and debris.

Jack Douglass of OTI was pres ent and urged the council to hold the area !o an R-7.5 designation if possible. Mayor Lawrence Slater inquired as to who would pay the cost of acquiring right-of-way for the road should this become neces sary.-. . . The question remained unan swered. ' - The council indicated it could not accept the conditions attached by the company to the granting of right-of-way, and suggested that a meeting be arranged with Attorney Maxwell, Benioff and others with the council and the planning commission to see if something could be worked out on the Biehn Street route before con sidering another route. (More Council News on Page 4) Republicans Are Losers In Court Tests On Vote By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Republicans have lost court tests in their attempts to over turn President-elect John F. Ken nedy's winning margins in Illinois and Texas. At the same time offi cial returns from all but three states cut still further Kennedy's popular vote edge over Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon. New Yorks official canvass Monday sliced 20,869 votes from the Kennedy total compiled un officially right after the Nov. 8 election. That gave Kennedy a nationwide popular vote margin over Nixon of 1 14,859, out of more for Sen. Harry F. Byrd. D-Va., for president. They urged other Southern states to join their cause, hoping to throw the elec tion into the House of Represent atives. It is considered very un likely that this will happen. There was no immediate com ment from Byrd. who supported neither presidential candidate in the campaign.

In another development, un pledged electors from Mississippi and Alabama met in Jackson, Miss., and said they would vote I Republican challenge of the elec tion result.
