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.

90 Persons Dead
In Rebel Fighting
By WILLIAM N. 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

where the contemplated road is
located.
In his letter, Maxwell pointed
out that the company would give
the right-nf-way for the route,

quests were (1) that the recent
request to iczone the property of

would be carried out, and (2) that
the sewer line to OTI would be
routed through this same right-of-

He reported he was surprised
at the recent letter which now
attached conditions to the grant.
Assistant City Engineer Cliff

it would cost about I16.000 more

as to who would pay the cost of

The question remained unan

The council indicated it could

that a meeting be arranged with

Republicans Are Losers
In Court Tests On Vote

Republicans have lost court
tests in their attempts to over
turn President-elect John F. Ken

states cut still further Kennedy's
popular vote edge over Vice Pres

New Yorks official canvass
