Cabinet speculations mount
Nixon creates Council on Urban Affairs
NEW YORK (UPI)—President-elect Richard M. Nixon announced the creation of a new Council on Urban Affairs yesterday to help him solve the problems of cities. He appointed Dr. Daniel P. Moynihan, Harvard urban affairs expert, to head it.
Nixon said Moynihan, 41, would head a special planning staff and be his chief advisor on urban affairs.
He said he would set up the Council on Urban Affairs by executive order rather than through an act of Congress but might ask Congress for a charter for such an organization at a later date.
Nixon spoke briefly of the cabinet which he will announce on television tonight from Washington. He said each of his cabinet officers "will be generalists rather than specialists" charged with not simply developing their own program but thinking of them in terms of their effect on other areas.

Nixon and his aides have been silent about the president-elect's cabinet selections but educated guesses indicate the line-up will be something like this;
- Attorney General: John N. Mitchell, senior partner in Nixon's former New York law firm and a close personal and political adviser who managed Nixon's campaign.
- Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare: Lt. Gov. Robert H. Finch of California, a close personal friend of Nixon's who reflects his thinking position he holds.
- Secretary of Transportation: Gov. John A. Volpe of Massachusetts, a millionaire builder who headed Nixon's campaign effort among ethnic minorities.
- Commerce Secretary: Gov.
George Romney of Michigan,
who was chairman of the board
of American Motors.

- Postmaster General: Winton M. "Red" Blount, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who was active in Nixon's campaign in the South.
- Secretary of Labor: Either James J. Reynolds, currently the under secretary, or John J. Gilhooley, former commissioner of the New York City Transit Authority.
- Secretary of the Interior: A western governor, probably John A. Love of Colorado or Tim M. Babcock of Montana.
- Secretary of Agriculture: probably a midwestern chosen from among the following: John M. Zwach, Republican congressman of Minnesota; Mark Andrew, Republican congressman of North Dakota; Al Shock, president of a dairy firm in Sioux Falls, S.D.; or Clarence Palmby, an economist and formerly with the Department of Agriculture under President Eisenhower.
