WARM SPRINGS, Ga, January 81.
With a nucleus Of veterans for his
cabinet, President-elect Roosevelt is
going into the younger Democratic fold
for the rest of the official family. Some
surprises are in prospect.
Fresh doubt over the complete make
up of the cabinet was cast by Mr..
Roosevelt himself when he publicly told
the Democrataic leaders here last night,
II regard the cabinet as peculiarly my
own official family, to be named only
by me-"
Sitting before birthday cake he had
just carved, the President-elect made
this statement tonews paper men and
called attention to his political advisers
standing in the circle about the table
here in the Meriwether Inn. 1t was in
response to an inquiry whether he had
talked cabinet with the Democratic
leaders assembled here. He said NO.
Discussing Appointments.
Nevertheless, James A. Farley, ma
tionai chairman; Louis M. Howe, pollt-
ical secretary, and Frank Walker, ma
tional treasurer, who are meeting about
the Roosevelt table these days. are talk
ing over some of the thousands Of Fed
eral appointments to be made. To be
guided more surely, they would like to
know who the PreSident-elect has in
mind for the choice cabinet offices.
It is the consensus that three and
possibly four places are definitely set
tied: Senator Glass Of Virginia for
Secretary Of the Treasury; Senator
Walsh of Montana for Attorney Gen
eral, and James A. Farley OF New York
for Postmaster General.
Some of the group add "it IS all fixed"
for Miss Frances Perkins, New York
State Commissioner of Labor, to have
the Labor Department post. II so, she
will be the first woman ever to be in
the cabinet of President OF the United
States.
Farley Has Names.
Standing pat by his intention to an
nounce no appointments before sailing
Saturday on To-day fishing cruise in
southern waters, Mr.. Roosevelt Is say
ing nothing.
But the files carried by Genial Jim"
Farley as he goes back and forth to the
Roosevelt cottage obviously contain a
lot of names for some of the high Offices
to be given by the next President.
In these files are believed to be the
names of such men as Newton D. Baker
of Ohio for Ambassador to London,
publisher, for the Paris diplomatic post;
pohorf D,,phopo Chiconn honkor for
Berlin, and Clark Howell and Mai. John
c. Cohen, Atlanta publishers, and Peter
c. Gerry of Rhode Island for other i'm
portant offices.
Others Mentioned.
As for the other cabinet Offices, the
politicians admit they are little dizzy.
The speculation persists that Owen D.
Young, New York financier, is wanted
by Roosevelt as Secretary of State to
assist him in the forthcoming debts and
economic negotiations with the Eu-
ropean nations.
The same speculation suggests Sena-
tor Barkley of Kentucky for Secretary
of War, Archibald Mcneil and o. Max
Gardner of North Carolina for Secre-
tary of the Navy, Frank Murphy of
Minnesota and Henry Wallace Of Iowa
for Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Har-
riman of Boston and Bernard NJ
Baruch and Jesse Straus of New York
for Secretary Of Commerce and Sena-
tor Cutting of New Mexico and former
Gov. Dern of Utah for Secretary of
Interior.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt is looking
ahead to the impending debt negotia-
tions in Washington which he intends
to take up, beginning with the British,
within a day or two after his inaugu-
ration.
