Clark, Representative Underwood, Sen
ators O'Gorman, Hoke Smith, Gore and
other prominent Democratic leaders,
but he indicated that he meant to keep
strict silence about appointments until
ready to make a general statement on
the subject.
Scattering announcements would
be foolish" he said, even if had
them to mike. I'll wait until pretty
late. The time will depend somewhat
on the number of written communica-
tons received.
What | am sincerely trying to do"
he added sis to see the field of choice
and to try to get as many opinions as
possible that are worth while"
The president-elect likewise made it
clear that though gossip may be heard
far and wide, nothing would be def
nitely established until he made the
announcements over his own sigma
ture.
