BY DAVID S. BRODER

IN THE VAST expanse of quiet haberdashery
4 that is the New Frontier, Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare Anthony j.
Celebrezze is notable if only for his ties.
No Ivy Lacquer (Ohio Northern University,
class of 'S6), Mr.. Celebrezze shuns the monoto
nous uniformity of gray flannels and rep
stripes.
His suits are dOuble-breasted and navy
blue. There is padding in the shoulders His
ties are, well, florid-and just to be sure
they're not overlooked, he sometimes slips
handkerchief with a matching swirl of vivid
colors into his breast pocket.
The ties and the gamblers moustache that
ornaments his big, homely face give first ac-
quaintances the impression that here, indeed,
is a swaShbuckler politician of the old school,
as exotic find among the earnest young men
of the Kennedy Administration as an orchid
in field of daisies.
The impression could not be more mis-
leading. The ties are the only things loud about
Mr.. Celebrezze. In conversation, his voice is so
soft the listener must strain to hear him. And
in a town full of inflated egOs, this cabinet
member is engagingly self-deprecating.
These qualities could be considerable as
sets in job that has seen more than its share
of controversy, confusion and turnover in the
past decade.
Mr. Celebrezze had been mayor of Cleve-
land for almost 10 years when Mr.. Kennedy
summoned him to Washington last summer as
successor to the debonair and dashing Abra-
ham A. Ribicoff He slipped quietly into town,
weathered his first crisis-the thalidomide
scare-with undramatic competence and then
dropped willingly from public view
Soon, however, the spotlight of publicity
will be back on his balding dome, as he carries
the Administrators medical care for the aged
and Federal aid to education bills before a
hostile Congress.
Mr.. Celebrezze has been spending long
hours preparing for the cross-fire of question
ing that awaits him. His favorite sport of fish
ing and his hobby of handiwork around the
house 'the bank and l bought in Chevy Chase"
are being neglected, while he plows doggedly
through books and reports on the bewildering
Evening star., 1963-01-13

the tale of his reaction to presentation of
someone's plan for Federal aid to education
He listened patiently to the elaborate expIana-
ton of matching requirements, distribution
formulas and program ALLEGATIONS, then asked
one withering question:
"If we get the Federal government in to
this extent, how do we get it out?"
1he ninth of 13 children and the only one
born in Italy (his naturalized American par
entS had returned for visit, Mr. Celebrezze
worked his way through school and won his
first five election fights without help from the
organization Now 50 and a Cabinet officer, he
is more than ever a believer in the reality of
the American Dream.
81 have profound faith in the free enter
prise system" he says, land in letting an in
dividual lay foundation for his own future.
The philosophy of the Democratic Party and
the Kennedy Administration, as understand
it, is to help people help themselves If man is
hungry, we feed him-but not for the rest of
his life"
With this approach, the Secretary can say
with complete candor to critics of Federal aid
to education 81 am as much opposed as any of
you to removing responsibility for schools from
the local community"
And he can tell the doctors who fear that
medicare is foot in the door to socialized
medicine: when the government proposes to
control the physicians fthis country I'll stand
up with the ANA"
Some Administration officials think Con-
gressmen who have opposed these programs in
the past will find the CelebrezZe philosophy
reassuring. Other wonder whether his commit
ment to the causes is deep enough to Withstand
the buffeting that lies ahead.
Mr. Celebrezze himself seems unshaken by
the prospect Of the forthcoming fights. 'The
controversy over these programs doesn't
bother me a Bit" he says. "The only way to
avoid controversy is to maintain the status
quo and that is not adequate in this country
1--WE been through few fights before, he
recalls. Putting water fluoridation through
the Cleveland City Council was no picnic. You
talk about controversy-try and build an in
cineratOr when no one wants ii in his back
yard. But that was done, too"

MAYOR OF H. {. ".
lew SECRETARY mr. cEDREzz RUNS HIS DEPARTMENT WITH QUIET Competence

variety of fields in which H.E.W operates.
His social life is largely confined to his
family and a circle of old friends from Cleve-
land days, among then retired Supreme Court
Justice Harold H. Burton and Senator Frank
Lausche, both predecessors in the mayors
office.
A clOse-knit family, the Celebrezzes are
grateful they are all in the same area again.
Son Anthony, jr., q, is midshipman at Annap-
oils; daughter Jean Ann, 18, studies at Immacu-
lata Junior College; and daughter Susan Marie,
IA, lives at home while attending Stone Ridge
Country Day School
They have taken some afternoon drives
around the Maryland countryside -"just ex-
plOring" Mrs. Celebrezze says-and have be-
gun sampling the local restaurants to see
which do the best job with the Secretary's
favorite dishes, roast duckling and steak
But most evenings, the head of the house
comes home Juggling briefcase-a situation
he refuses to mourn. II didn't come to Wash
ingtOn to engage in social life," he says. 81
came to work."
Establishing effective control over the
sprawling, diverse 7OOOOman maze of HEw
is an overwhelming task, but Mr. Celebrezze
has set himself to try
Shortly after he moved in, he converted a
small conference room in his suite on the fifth
floor into lunch room. Most days he eats there
with the undersecretary, the assistant secre-
taries and the key members of his personal
staff. "The talk" says one participant, "is shop
talk"
The new secretary's approach to H.E.W.'s
business has surprised some of the profes-
sionals in the department. A slum child him
self, he has broad sympathy for the humane
purposes of many of its programs. But he
couples this with skepticism that the schemes
that look great on the drawing board in Wash
ingtOp will necessarily work out well in prac-
tice.
11e retains in his Federal post the local
officials doubt about the wisdom of running
to Washington for solutions to all problems.
This, combined with reverence for the tax
payers dollar that delights the Budget Bureau,
has led him to be tagged conservative" by
some H.EW. liberals.
An example of the Celebrezze approach is
