pointee to one of the other avail
able cabinet Offices.
At least three of his visitors this
week are understood to have urged
such action. Two were from Texas
and the other from Alabama. One
was Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby. war;
time commander of the WAC. Now
co-publisher of a Houston, Texas,
newspaper. she declared that her
visit had nothing to do with her
chances for an Office.
Driscoll Visit Expected.
Gov. Driscoll's talk with Gen.
Eisenhower today had been un-
scheduled but was not especially
surprising. The New Jersey gov
ernor. who still has a year of his
regular term at the State House in
Trenton, drove over in a chill rain
because he could not arrange to
see the President-elect at any
other time in the near future.
He was an early backer of Gen.
Eisenhower for the Presidency and
was particularly energetic in pri-
mary elections and at the Repub-
lican National convention.
While repeatedly not seeking any
cabinet position, Gov. Driscoll is
known to be interested in social
welfare, fair employment and
similar programs. New Jersey
friends say he might agree to head
a study commission or otherwise
assist the new administration in
those fields.
There has been no shrinking in
the number or extent of "predic-
tions" for filling the remaining
cabinet designations.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, al
though apparently out of the Cabi-
net picture and also out of a
Senatorial job from Massachusetts
after January 3, obviously has a
major part in the Eisenhower
plans. He seems destined to be one
of the most powerful of the new
Presidents White House assist
ants, advisers and troubleshooters.
He currently is the incoming ad-
mi1listration's liaison with many
agencies of the outgoing admins
tration.
Adams, Carlson Possible.
Senators Adams of New Hamp-
shire and Carlson of Kansas,
close and active aides even before
the generals formal march to-
ward the White House, are possible
cabinet choices. Among other
things, they have geographic ad-
vantages.
Another Kansan, Representative
Hope, still is given the inside track
in what repeatedly has turned
into a numerous-entry race for
Secretary of Agriculture.
Paul Hoffman. former ECA di-
rector. Gen. Lucius Clay. Walter
Williams, Seattle banker who
formed the original Citizens for
Eisenhower Nixon. Joseph M.
Dodge, fiscal adviser to Gen.
Eisenhower, Republican National
Chairman Arthur E. Summerf1eld,
Ralph Cake. former G.. o. P. Ma
tional committeeman from Ore
gon, Arthur H. Vandenberg, jr.,
son of the late Senator from
Michigan, Gov. Earl Warren of
California, and Thomas E. Cole
man of Wisconsin. are constantly
being mentioned in more or less
informed quarters concerned with
forecasting appointments.
The name Of Mr.. Coleman
whether or not Gen. Eisenhower
decides to send it to the Senate
for conf1rmation-points up the
continuing task of smoothing re-
lations between Senator Taft of
Ohio and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York.
Was Taft Floor Leader.
Mr.. Coleman was Senator Taft's
floor manager at the National
Convention in Chicago. The Ohio
Senator has not disclosed whether
Mr.. Coleman was one of the two
or three" persons he recently
recommended to Gen. Eisenhower,
at the generals request, for Cab
met consideration.
Gov. Warren occupies a some
what different but equally i'm
portant role. He disclosed I'M
California that he had talked with
Gen. Eisenhower by telephone the
other day. Eisenhower headquar-
ters said there was no comment
at this end of the line.
Headquarters aides noted that
many key policy positions neces-
sarily remain for study as the
prospective cabinet members IA
miliarize themselves with future
duties. Appointments ranging as
high as seats on the Supreme
Court, and representation at the
United Nations may develop after
Gen. Eisenhower becomes Presi-
dent.
The President-elect has moved
with historic speed this week I'M
establishing even more than the
framework of his administration
