Stevenson win.
Some Of those closest to Mr..
Stevenson said he has given no
thought to the selections he
would make for key Government
posts. because the first and most
important goal ahead of him is
to corral 266 electoral votes
the number required to be
elected.
They also pointed out that
the campaign still has six weeks
to go, and the part played by
prominent Democrats from
coast to coast during the home
stretch drive could be- an i'm
portant factor in picking the
cabinet.
Finnegan Likely Choice
But in every presidential
campaign, speculation is newt
able as to who would run the
Government if the outs should
get in. This year is no excep-
ton, and those vino make it q

It for granted certain individuals
are likely to be considered for
cabinet posts in the event Of
Democratic victory.
For example. it would be
normal procedure for Mr..
Stevenson to offer the postmas-
ter generalship to James A. Fin
negan Of Philadelphia, chair
man of the Stevenson-Kefauver
campaign committee.
For Agriculture 1t is q safe
assumption that Mr.. Stevenson
would consider, among others,
three men who have held the
post before-Senator Anderson
Of New Mexico. Charles Bran

Brannan plan. and Claude
Wickard.

For the important post Of De-

for a belief that Mr.. Stevenson
would give serious considera-

tary Thomas K. Finletter. He
might also turn to Senator
Symington of Missouri, another
former Air Force head. who has
devoted most of his time in the
Senate to studying the defense

Chest Units
Enroll in UGF

The 1l2 Community Chest
agencies of the Washington area
today were enrolled in the United
Givers Fund for its first one
package charity campaign this
fall.
Today's action came at a meet
ing of the UGF Admissions and
ALLEGATIONS Committee with the
United Fund Committee of the
Community Chest Federation in
the. Washington Hotel.
The action was expected be-
cause the federation had been
one of the leading supporters OF
the united fund movement in
Washington. But the terms OF
federation membership in the
UGF had to be worked out.
Details are still not complete
but it is clear that the UGF
will impose new limitations on
supplementary Embarrassing ac-
tivities of Chest agencies. The
federation staff. representing the
six area community chests. is
working for UGF under a tenn
porary agreement. For the time
being, the federation will con-
tinue to exist as a planning and
budgeting organization for local
chest agencies. The United
GiverS Fund, however, will take
over the federation's campaign
activities, as we'll as those OF
other local and national agen-
cieS which join.
The six area chests thus be-
come the second major group
to line up with the United
