Evening star., 1952-11-07

terday, suggesting a To-day delay
in their meeting at the White
House to give him time to hold
conferences leading up to the
naming of important assistants.
Because of the troubled world
situation. the greatest interest
centers in his choice for Secretary
Of State.
The names most frequently
mentioned for that important post
are Gov. Dewey of New York and
John Foster Dulles, leading Re-
publican authority on interna-
tional affairs.
Gov. Dewey worked hard for the
Eisenhower victory and, undoubt-
edly can have that, or some other
cabinet post. if he wishes. He is
reported to have told friends, how
ever that he wants to resume law
practice when he completes his
term as Governor two years from
now.
Hoffman Also Likely.
Paul Hoffman, who once headed
the Foreign Economic Administra-
tion, and who was a strong Eisen-
hover supporter, also may come in
for State Department considera-
ton.
Other names that will figure
prominently in the building of the
new cabinet are those of Gen.
Lucius Clay, retired, now chair
man Of the board of the Con-
tinental Can Co., and Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, who lost
his Senate seat in Tuesdays bal
loting. Either of these men are
good prospects for Secretary of
Defense.
Gen. Clay was Gen. Eisenhow-
er's deputy in the closing days Of
the war, and later was military
governor Of the United States
zone in Germany.
Senator Lodge was one Of the
original Eisenhower for President
men, and the general made two
trips to Boston during the cam
paign in an effort to help him win
his fight for reelection. Senator
Lodge. reserve officer. resigned
his Senate seat during World War
II to report for duty overseas.
Stassen in Labor Post.
Harold E. Stassen, former gov
ernor of Minnesota, who also
worked closely with Gen. Eisen-
hover in the campaign. is believed
to be q likely pross.ect for Sec
retary Of Labor, if he desires to
leave his post as president of the
University of Pennsylvania. While
serving as the youngest governor
from 1888 to 1941. one Of Mr..
Stassen's accomplishments was
the enactment Of a new labor
relations law for that State.
Some Eisenhower associates be-
lieve Gov. Dan Thornton of Colo
RADIO is in the running for Sec
retary of the Interior. That post
Is almost certain to go to q West
erner because the problems Of the
West are so closely tied in with
the Interior Department.
For agriculture there are several
possibilities, including Senators
Carlson of Kansas. Aiken of Ver-
mont and Representative Clifford
Hope of Kansas. the top-ranking
Republican On the House Agri-
culture Committee. It is not
known here whether either of the
Senators would want to give up
their legislative careers. Both
worked hard for an Eisenhower
victory. Of the three, Senator
Carlson is closest to Gen. EisenA
hover. He travelled with him
throughout the campaign.
Adams to Be Close.
Gov. Sherman Adams of New
Hampshire is bound to be a close
adviser in the new administration
regardless of whether he takes a
cabinet post. He was at the gen.
erals elbow from the time he was
nominated to election day.
Gov. Earl Warren may be con-
sidered for Attorney General If he
desires to come to Washington.
Former Senator Harry Darby of
Kansas also may figure in the
building of the Eisenhower cabi-
net. although there has been no
intimation of the post he might
fill.
One source close to Gen. Eisen-
hover dropped a hint to be on the
