 New York, Feb. 1S-UP)-A bare two weeks remained today |, for Franklin D. Roosevelt to com plete the task of organizing the
 new federal administration, and
 the president-elect turned to the E task of filling key ofices needless of the unprecedented guard main i. tained around his staid, old town house. James A. Farley. democratic state chairman, who spent ardu- . our days in Miami comforting with ! prospective offlce holders while MT Roosevelt was resting, fishing, and swimming in southern seas, was expected to make a detailed report on his work to the presi- dent-elect during the day.
 The still uncertain makeup of his cabinet occupied Mir Roosevelt as he got back in harness after his vacation and the interruption fur :. niei1ed in Miami by the attack up- < on him by Giuseppe Zangara. ,e The block in East 65th street, ' off Fifth avenue, which includes :. among its dignified residences. the Roosevelt home was perhaps i the most carefully policed block in ,pthe world today. Through MT !. Roosevelt's regime as governor. the block escaped more than q casual guard. When former Mayor James J. Walker lived in the May 5. fair House across the street, no
 aaI cred necessary. But now, after the attack upon MT Roosevelt in : Miami, police and the secret serv- ice combined to make certain that no crank could come within shoot ting distance of the Roosevelt home. 1. When MT Roosevelt arrived yes- ' terday from the south, 1000 police guarded him as no man ever has been guarded in New York before. Last night, when he went to Ma sonic hall to aid in the induction of his son, Elliott, as a master ] mason, armed uniformed police men surrounded him constantly. From now on, 1t was made clear, .-the authorities will not permit him to move about the city without protection such as is rarely &C., corded even to a king.
 Mir Roosevelt showed some in- dications of being bit bored by the elaborate precautions.
 Before he left Warm Springs, Ga, for his southern cruise. MT | Roosevelt indicated that he would not reveal officially any cabinet ap- pointments until March 2 or 3, but 1t was understood today that the naraes of the prospective secretar- fes would be revealed by ones and twos in the fortnight between to- day and the inauguration.
 The cabinet structure hinges now largely upon Senator Glass of Virginia, who was secretary of the treasury under Woodrow Wilson. MT Roosevelt wants Senator Glass. an ardent foe of imitation and a Jnan who has the confidence of Financial leaders, to be his secretary of the treasury. MT Glass feels that he can be of greater service in the senate. The two conferred yester- fday when the Roosevelt special 1fain halted in Washington. and 1t was understood that Glass agreed Ao say definitely within three days byhether he would accept the cab- inet appointment.
 V And war and navy cabinet posi- lions are still unsettled, 1t was un- derstood, though Swagar Sherley. former representative, was under stood to be favored for the former ,secretaryship, and Joseph P. Kennedy, Boston banker. for the aater.
 MT Roosevelt will stay In the city Tonight to attend the annual din- her of the Inner Circle. organiza- -fion of political writers. Tomor- row he will go to his country home at Hyde Park. where he plans to stay most of next week.
