As Defense Promotion Criterion
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-President Lyn-
don B. Johnson moved into his
second full week in office discuss-
ing civil rights, the budget and
politics with various state and
national figures..
In a series of personal and tele-
phone interviews yesterday, John-
son ordered that cost-conscious-
ness be made an important fac-
tor in promotions for Defense De-
partment personnel involved in
procurement and maintenance.
He also reported that he has
personal knowledge of overstaff-
ing in some federal agencies and
-foreign posts and directed budget
director Kermit Gordon to look in-!
to these situations.
In other economy moves, John-
son asked chairmen of four con-

Aid to Schools
WASHINGTON-President Lyn-
don B. Johnson is considered a
'"very good friend of education,"
Charles G. Dobbins, executive sec-
retary of the American Council
on Education, said yesterday.
A Washington Post article noted
the association's comments on the
President, adding that his legisla-
tive record in the Senate shows
that he voted for every major edu-
cation bill.
The association also said that
Johnson "reiterated his position in
support of federal aid to educa-
tion" in a meeting last Monday
with about 30 state governors.
gressional committees to aid inj
discovering any duplication of
services in the military establish-
ment and urged the comptroller-
general and Secretary of Com-
merce Luther Hodges to look for
any fiscal waste in their areas of
jurisdiction.
These moves form the prelude
to the drive for passage of the
1965 budget, which Johnson hopes
to keep under the $100 billion
level so as to boost chances for
congressional approval of an $11'
billion tax cut.
Commission
Yesterday's action followed his'
creation last Friday of a special'
commission to investigate the
slaying of President John F. Ken-
nedy and his accused assassin,
Lee Harvey Oswald.
The commission, headed by
Chief Justice Earl Warren, in-
cludes additionally Sen. Richard
Russell (D-Ga), Sen. John Cooper
(R-Ky), Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La),
Rep. Gerald Ford (D-Mich), for-
mer Central Intelligence Agency
head Allen Dulles and John J.
McCloy, former disarmament ad-
visor to Kennedy..
Asks Four To Stay
Also, four top White House offi-
cials in the Kennedy administra-
tion yesterday decided to remain
with the new chief executive.
The four, Special Counsel 'Theo-
dore Sorensen, Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger, Appointments
Secretary Kenneth O'Donnell and
Special Assistant for Congression-
al Affairs Lawrence O'Brien, an-
nounced that they would remain
in their jobs "at the pleasure of
the President."

in their battle against slum hous-
ing.
It is too early to judge the ef-
fectiveness of their rent strike,
begun Nov. 1 and given a big im-
petus Sunday as many more fam-
ilies joined in the fight based on
claims of flagrant violations of the
city housing code.
Jesse Gray, executive director
of the Community Council on
Housing, expects the movement,
now involving about 50 tenements
and 585 families, to spread to
perhaps 300 more buildings by
January.
Gray spoke today with banking
officials about arrangements for
holding the tenants' rent pay-
ments-normally ranging from $50
to $100 a month-in escrow until
their demands are satisfied.
Indict Rights Workers
In Americus, Ga., four civil
rights workers have been indicted
on charges of "assault with at-
tempt to murder" and "rioting."
All four were freed of insurrection
charges earlier this month when
a panel of federal judges declared
the charge unconstitutional.
Three of the four were field
workers for the Student Non-
violent Coordinating Committee.
Also, the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools cleared
the way for giving full member-
ship to Negro secondary schools.
The Association's School Dele-
gate Assembly, meeting in Mem-
phis, voted overwhelmingly to
grant full membership to Negro
schools that meet educational
standards of their state educa-
tion committees.

Successor,
New Alliance
Principal Parties Vie
For Political Control
4 ANKARA (1P)-Turkish Prime
Minister Ismet Inonu resigned
yesterday.
His coalition government col-
lapsed while he was in Washing-
I ton for President John F. Kenne-
dy's funeral.
Turkish President Cemal Gursel
began looking for a successor, but
best information indicated it will
be difficult to form a new coalition
without 80-year-old Inonu or his
Republican People's party.
Inonu handed his, resignation to
Gursel in a 35-minute audience at
the presidential palace. Gursel said
he would begin conferring with
other party leaders today.
Not Eager
Upon his return from Washing-
ton last Saturday, Inonu told
newsmen he was not eager to form
a new government.
Principal cause for the coali-
tion breakup was last month's lo-
cal elections, easily won by the
opposition Justice party. The new
Turkey and Peasants' Nation par-
ty members of his cabinet an-
nounced while he was in Washing-
ton they were quitting the coali-
tion because of election setbacks.
Strategy Indicates
Republican strategy indicates
that Justice party leader Ragip
Gumushpala will be offered a
chance to form a government. If
he fails, Inonu or another Repub-
lican will be given a chance.
Republicans say they will not
serve as junior members of a coali-
tion, but Justice party leaders
have indicated if they fail to form
a government they might serve un-
der the Republicans.

Leoni Leads
In Venezuela
Election Race
CARACAS (P) - Raul Leoni,
running on the' government's
strong anti - Castro platform,
maintained a comfortable lead in
the race for the Venezuelan pres-
idency yesterday.
A surge of Leoni votes indicated
heavy popular approval of Vene-
zuela's demand for stiff action
against Cuba.
With unofficial tabulations ap-
proaching the half-way mark,
Leoni's margin over his closest
rival fluctuated between 75,000
and 90,000 votes.
The 58-year-old former labor
lawyer ran with the full support
of outgoing President Romulo
Betancourt, chief Latin American
enemy of Cuban Prime Minister
Fidel Castro.
The outpouring for Leoni ap-
peared to hand the Castroite arm-
ed Forces for National Liberation
its second major setback since
voters began lining up in record
number after dawn Sunday in de-
fiance of death threats from the
underground terrorist organiza-
tion. Officials said 95 to 96 per
cent of eligible voters turned out.
On the basis of tabulations of
more than one-third of the es-
timated 3.4 million votes, these
were the standings: Leoni, can-
didate of Betancourt's Democra-
tic Action party, 309,058; Rafael
Caldera of the Social Christians,
222,807; Jovito Villalba of the
Republican Democratic Union,
200,458; Arturo Uslar Pietri, an
independent, 174,012; Rear Adm.
Wolfgang Larrazabal, 87,773.

BREZHNEV?
Krushchev
Heir Cited
PARIS-Leonid I. Brezhnev, ti-
tular president of the Soviet Un-
ion, is emerging as the most like-
ly eventual successor to Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev as head of
the Soviet government, the New
York Times reported yesterday.
There has been close examina-
tion of just who Khrushchev's suc-
cessor will be since the assassina-
tion of President John F. Kenne-
dy and the succession of Lyndon
B. Johnson to the United States
Presidency.
A source with first-hand infor-
mationbelieves that Brezhnev is
now the most likely successor to
Khrushchev, although such a
transition would be possibly only
if the leaders of the Communist
party in the USSR were willing
to continue what are called the
"liberal" Khrushchev policies.
Behind Brezhnev, now 56 years
old, is Aleksei N. Kosygin, who is
59, a first deputy premier.
Khrushchev is said to be pre-
pared to concede that there is no
one available with the traditional
"historical" qualifications. In oh-
er words, there is no outstanding
leader who played a role in the
Bolshevik Revolution who is now
healthy enough to assume the
position of premier.
First Deputy Premier Anastas I.
Mikoyan has not been well recent-
ly, and his once intimate friend-
ship with Khrushchev appears to
be cooling, according to recent
visitors to the Kremlin.
They have concluded that the
quality of Khrushchev's subordi-
nates is not high, and that under
these circumstances, Brezhnev,
who is reported to be popular and
respected in the Communist par-
ty, is the most logical choice as his
successor.
