Kennedy started forming his cabinet yesterday by tapping Gov. Abraham Ribicoff, an old friend and early Kennedy-for-President rooter, as his Secretary of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare. In this job, the 50-year-old Ribicoff would play a key role in some of the programs Kennedy has labeled for priority consideration by the new Congress-aid to education, medical care far the aged and the like. Standing at Kennedy's side as the announcement was made, Ribicoff declared his philosophy in this general field "is on all ' fours with the philosophy of Governor To Work On Africa Cites Challenges To U.S. in Area By BUEL TRAPNELL President-elect John F. Ken- nedy today appointed Gov. G. Mennen Williams as an assistant secretary-of state. The selection of Williams was the first announced choice of any- one for either a cabinet or sub-. cabinet post. He will be in charge of African affairs, a post which Kennedy called a position of re- sponsibility second to none. States Goal Williams declined to spell out his ideas on what the United States should do in Africa. "What we have to do is to bring the American people to understand, appreciate and finally support the great many challenges Africa; offers," he said. State Democratic chairman Neil, Staebler said that the party was3 "delighted" that Williams was ap- pointed to the post. "It is a further source of pride to Michigan Demo- crats that Williams is the first appointment made by Kennedy," he said, Williams plans a brief tour of Africa between New Year's Day and Jan. 20, Kennedy's inaugu- ration date. He is known to be informed on Africa through many sources, including discussions with members of the University faculty. 'Grasp' Praised "I have had occasion to acquaint myself with the views of Gov Williams on Africa," Prof. Henry L. Bretton of the political science department commented. "I have been greatly impressed by his grasp of fundamental problems and especially by a keen awareness of where countries can be im- proved." The appointment of a non- career man to the State Depart- ment strengthens the nation's foreign relations, provided the man has the interest and the ability, he said. The appointment of Williams "provides clear evidence to the the African leaders that the Ken- nedy administration will be cog- nizant of the real problems of Africa. "He has demonstrated in recent years a personal commit- ment to the advancement of racial minorities in the United States." Cook County Board Speeds Vote Recount CHICAGO (P)-Reacting to a storm of Republican protest, Cook County's two Democratic - con- trolled election boards agreed yes- etrday to speed up a recheck of ballots and to expand its scope. Twenty-five checking teams were added to assist the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners which earlier had reviewed only five of 863 Chicago precincts in two days' work. r r Hatcher r. Defines. In Advanced Study ,. 'U' Officials At Stalemate With Soviets ICites Intent TO Increase Work Load Would Accept Jobs As Needed, Employ Federal, Other Aid Citizens Arm To Support Betancourt CARACAS (AP) - Armed civilians rallied to President Romulo Betan- court's h a r a s s e d democratic government last night and fired on rioting leftist arsonists. The shooting was touched off by attempts of young student rebels to burn a bus. Scattered gunfire between the opposing factions con- tinued for 20 minutes until na- tional guardsmen took over against the demonstrators. There were no reports of injuries. It was the first time civilian government supporters turned on the leftists who have staged a bloody week-long rebellion for a Castro-type government to re- place the Betancourt regime. The support of the civilians was reflected in rank-and-file labor union members who have generally backed Betancourt in attacks from both the right and left. The fight between the civilians and the leftists was in the Plaza Venezuela near the students' self- styled "Stalingrad" dormitory in the University of Caracas where some 250 young hard-core Marx- ists are barricaded. The entrenched students opened fire from their fortress to cover the advance of a band that had sallied out to burn the bus. Police are barred by law from entering the university, which is supposed to be responsible for its own disipline. The government also has been cautious to avoid bloodshed when possible, fearing a deterioration of the situation. Also, the university, as is tra- ditional in Latin American coun- tries, has the status of a sanc- tuary the government is reluctant to violate. IQC Approves Study in Quads President-elect Kennedy." Kennedy hinted that he had tried and failed to get Republican Robert A. Lovett, former defense secretary and under secretary of state, into his administration. He has been mentioned prominently for a position in the Kennedy ad- ministration in either depart- ment, partly as one who would bring a measure of bipartisanship to the new regime. Foreshadowing the possible ap- pointment of a budget director, Kennedy told newsmen his first maller today will be Prof. David' Bell of Harvard University. Another Kennedy news confer- ence on the steps of his home has been set for 10:30 a.m. today for announcement of an appointment to the administration; Kennedy has said he intends to disclose his selection for budget director or someone to stand in until he makes the choice. Prof. Bell is an expert on pub- lic administration and an old hand' in Washington. Asked about other cabinet ap- pointments-there are nine to go -Kennedy said, "All these ap- pointments wil be coming along in the next few days." 'U' Rol Russians Frustrate Faculty Exchange By LINDA REISTMAN University officials reached a stalemate in their negotiations with the Soviet government to organize a faculty exchange pro- gram. A delegation of University offi- cials suggested the exchange of college faculty and Russian edu-, cators during their visit to Russia in May, 1959. "The people we spoke to seemed very receptive at the time, and we think that they sincerely want to cooperate," Vice- President for University Relations Lyle Nelson, who was in the visit- ing delegation said. "It is simply the problem of political feelings which are holding us back." As one of the stipulations of the faculty exchange, the University wants the right to select the pro- fessors of their choice in specific areas of need at the University. These areas would be Slavic lan- guages and literature, engineering, mathematics, and the sciences, Nelson commented. The University is negotiating through the State Department's program for visiting professors of foreign countries, an agreement made with Russia in 1958 and since renewed, providing for an exchange of faculty, students, and educational materials with the+ United States. This is the pro- cedure followed in selecting all visiting foreign professors.1 Columbia and Harvard Univer- sities are two institutions which have exchange agreements with Moscow and Leningrad universities respectively, Nelson said. Although these programs have only been in effect for one year at these colleges, they have already met with disappointment. Both universities report that they have not been able to obtain the teach- ers they wanted for the necessary length of time. The University of California at Berkeley has also initiated this program. "McGill University has also shown interest in this area," Nel- son said. "They secured a grant from the Ford Foundation hoping to obtain a Russian economics professor in exchange for a lec- turer on the free enterprise sys- tem. We were hoping that his program would work out, so we could follow suit, but it has been unsuccessful so far."

ADVISOR"Y GROUP: Daily Ca0ToGet NwBoard By BEATRICE TEODORO Plans for the organization of a consultative board for the Daily' Californian should be completed by next week, George Link, student body president at the University of California at Berkeley, said yesterday. Applications will be open to any students, Link added, and inter- views will be held as soon. as pos- sible. The board will also include faculty and administrators. The board is being created as a result of the campus election last week. Although no definite legis- lation on Daily Caleditorial con- trol was passed, the student body expressed dissatisfaction with the present Executive Committee - Daily Cal relationship. "The obvious result was that Ex Com should try to provide a free yet responsible press," Link said, explaining the establishment of the board. One proposal on the ballot would have released Daily Cal control from the Ex Com and created a separate consultative board with final authority over staff appoint- ments, finances and bylaws of the paper. This amendment was put on the ballot - through petitions gathered by the ad hoc Committee for an Independent>Press. It received a majority vote, but two-thirds of the ballots cast were needed for a constitutional revi- sion. The other amendment, proposed by Ex Coin, provided for an ap- pointed consultative board with final authority over staff appoint- ments. Finances of the paper and regular bylaws would continue "as under the present constitutional provisions," the ballot read. The proposal was defeated. Also rejected was a referendum, proposed by the ad hoc committee, asking if Ex Com should accept the resignations of the Senior Editorial Board. The board, led by editor Dan Silver, resigned en masse a month ago, in protest to censure by Ex Com for its en- dorsemeit of a student govern- ment candidate. The election results implied that "voters were dissatisfied with what Ex Com had done," Silver said. Since the ad hoc committee amendment had failed, however, "things are right back where they were a month ago." Second Soviet Space Ship Orbits Carrying Two Dogs MOSCOW (MP)-Another big Soviet space ship carrying two dogs was rocketed into orbit yesterday. Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev hailed the feat as "a great victory and a step to man's flight into space." The Russians may try to return the five-ton vehicle today if htey follow the pattern of last August, when they put two other dogs into space and brought them back alive after 24 hours aloft.

WORLD DISARMAMENT: Gottlieb Sees Tigorous' Work by President-elect By HARVEY MOLOTOCH President-elect John F. Kennedy will work "vigorously" to further the cause of world disarmament, Sanford Gottlieb, national politi- cal-action director of the Com- mittee for Sane Nuclear Policy said yesterday. Gottlieb came to Ann Arbor for a short visit with local SANE officials while en route to a two- day Lansing conference on "Sur- vival, Disarmament and Your Job" with labor union personnel. Position Paradox "Kennedy is pledged to a seem- ingly paradoxical position of more arms and more disarmament," he said. "He wants to negotiate from a nositinn nf strength by building a Before 1958 the Eisenhower Ad- ministration refused to negotiate with the Russians on any pro- posals other than their own "pack- age program," Gottlieb said. Finally relenting to public pres- sure, the administration agreed to confer only on technological mat- ters. Too Few People But 100 people working under nine agencies were not enough to provide adequate background for the negotiators, he added. The Atomic Enery Commission is the strongest governmental op- ponent of disarmament, Gottlieb said. "They're people who believe that our security is based on having the greatest stockpile possible. This is "don't believe in destroying the world for the sake of settling dif- ferences." "Kennedy is going to be the kind of president who will allow no inter-agency rivalry to undermine his policies." The United States should not have ignored the Repacki Plan of Poland which provided for the re- moval of all foreign troops from Europe, Gottlieb said. "The first step towards liber- ating the eastern European coun- tries is to get the Reds off their backs," he explained. Asks Tax Cut Furthermore conservative and liberal economists agree that a tax cut could be used to take up "bulletin said the dogs were bear- ing up under the stresses of the voyage. Return Undecided Khrushchev said he did not know if his scientists will try to return the space ship and its dog-carrying capsule intact, as the scientists said they did on Aug. 20. "Probablythey will," he told re- porters at a reception he gave in the Kremlin for Prince Norodom Sihanouk, visiting Cambodian chief of state. "But scientists know better than I do. I haven't talked to anyone about it." The launching drew praise from scientists of East and West as- sembled at the Pugwash Confer- ence to discuss disarmament in the nuclear age. But two promi- nent Britons at the meeting ex- pressed strong disapproval be- cause so much money is being spent on space research.
