WASHINGTON (AP) - As infighting over prized Cabinet posts builds, Ronald Reagan will begin filling his administration’s top jobs this weekend, and his friend and campaign manager, William Casey, is likely to be picked to head the CIA, sources close to the presidential transition say. Sources said Casey. 67, who had some World War II experience in intelligence, faced virtually no opposition as CIA director, although stiff competition continued for many other Cabinet-level jobs. Reagan, meeting with President Carter today for the first time since the election, plans to return Friday to California, where he is expected to begin

making final choices for his Cabinet. The selections, however, are not expected to be announced for several days. Transition sources said William French Smith, Reagan’s 63-year-old personal lawyer, remained the clear favorite to become attorney general, and William Simon was considered likely to return to his old job as treasury secretary. Smith, Casey and Simon are leading figures in Reagan’s “kitchen cabinet,” 19 senior advisers who drafted the list of top Cabinet candidates. Sources said that while those three positions seemed fairly firm, the rest of the Cabinet selections still appeared fluid, with competing candidates and pressure groups jockeying for position. Several aides close to the transition also noted that the list of candidates still could

change and that Reagan might not follow it strictly. Casey, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Nixon administration, is one of Reagan’s closest political friends and took over the presidential campaign after former manager John Sears was fired last winter. Casey worked during World War II for the Office of Strategic Services, a forerunner of the CIA. Although one source said he didn’t think “anyone would challenge Casey” for the CIA post because of his close relationship with Reagan, most other Cabinet candidates lacked that clear an advantage. Sources said the struggle over who will head the State Department was primarily between Gen. Alexander Haig, former NATO commander and

President Richard M. Nixon’s last chief of staff, and former Treasury Secretary George Shultz. Haig is backed by more hard-line elements within the Reagan camp while Shultz is considered more of a moderate. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, remained a prime contender for defense secretary, sources said. But one source sad that choice “was not as solid as some of the others,” while another source said Tower “was in the pack” of candidates. Reagan met with Tower on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, but Tower refused comment on their talk. Other names mentioned for the Pentagon job included Haig, former Treasury Secretary John Connally and Texas Gov. William Clements. Another battle was shaping up over agriculture secretary. Sources said John R. Block, Illinois’ agricultural director, and Clayton Yeutler, chairman

U.S. ponders Iranian statements

c. 1980 N.Y. Times WASHINGTON - The speaker of Iran’s Parliament said Wednesday that the United States had accepted “in principle” Iran’s four conditions for ending the hostage crisis but he reaffirmed that until Iran’s demands were actually met. the release of the 52 Americans would be delayed. The remarks of Hojatoleslam Hashemi Rafsanjani at a news conference in Algiers provided the first authoritative Iranian reaction to the American response conveyed to Tehran last week by Algerian intermediaries. By asserting that the United States had in principle met the Iranian conditions, made public by the Parliament on Nov. 2, he provided some modest encouragement for American officials who have been awaiting a formal reaction from Iran for a week. The Algerian delegation that

of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, were under consideration for the post. Block is supported by Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., who has said he would object to Yeutter’s appointment because of his connection with the Chicago exchange, one of the nation’s largest commodity markets with members representing many major agribusiness companies. Health industry officials were reportedly pushing .Sen, Richard S. Schweiker, R-Pa., for secretary of health and human services. However, other sources said Robert Carleson, California’s welfare director when Reagan was governor, had the inside track. House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., is a leading candidate to be interior secretary, with the strong backing of influential members of Congress, sources said. However, Republican Gov. Jay S.

Hostage plans made

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres-ident-elect Ronald Reagan’s chief foreign policy adviser said Wednesday “plans are being made” for how to deal with the Iranian hostage crisis if it hasn’t been resolved by the time Reagan assumes office. Richard V. Allen, appearing on ABC-TV’s “Nightline” program said the hostage issue will be one of the topics discussed when Reagan’s interim foreign policy advisory board meets

brought the American response to Tehran is still meeting with Iranian officials and no report has yet been received here on the results of those talks, the State Department said Wednesday. As a result, Rafsanjani’s comments, while arousing con-

mond of Alaska was also said to be on that list. While the Cabinet guessing heated up, the president-elect continued his get-acquainted rounds Wednesday, dining with Republican allies on Capitol Hill and telling them “we have a mandate not so much....to govern as a mandate to serve.” “The people of this country have told us. all of us now, they want something different. They want a change. They want an America that serves them,” Reagan said. Reagan also met with eight of the nine Supreme Court justices William Rehnquist had a speaking engagement and with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. Kennedy, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination, told reporters afterward, “I do believe now that the American people want cooperation and I came here today to express mine.”

Friday. “It is true that plans are being made. Options are being studied,” Allen said when asked what Reagan would do if the 52 Americans were still being held hostage when the new president takes office Jan. 20. “It wouldn’t serve any particular purpose for me to go into details now,” said Allen, who is said to be a possibility for Reagan’s national security adviser.

Parliament’s willingness Uv release some hostages as each, condition is met, but the States has rejected a partial release. Secretary of State Edmund S.Muskie, when asked about the speaker’s remarks, said, “we have no reason to believe that that is an official response.” On Nov. 2, the Iranian Parliament issued these four’ conditions for the release of thjp' hostages: a pledge of noninterference in Iranian affairs* by the United States: the unfreezing of all Iran’s assets and their return to Iran; the abrogation of all private and. public claims against Iran: and confiscation and transferral to Iran of the property of the late shah and his family. The American response, conveyed to Algeria by Deputy Secretary Waren M. Christopher on Nov. 10, has notbeen made public.

Russ move into Poland possibility WASHINGTON (AP) - A secret U.S. intelligence assess-, ment for the National Security Council warns that unrest likely will spread throughout Poland" if unions in that country contin-.. ue to press their demands, and ■ that the Soviet Union would have to move in to quell opposi-' tion to Poland’s communist leaders. Separate reports reaching U.S. officials indicate there are efforts in Poland to form underground resistance in case the Soviets attack, but several senior analysts say such hetivitv probably is fragmented among “fringe groups.” Intelligence sources said Wednesday there was general agreement that Polish Army units would probably contest any Soviet attack on Poland. They said there was no firm evidence of any contingency planning within the Polish armed forces or defense ministry. Knowledgeable military and civilian officials stressed there was no sign of any impending Russian military move against Poland from either East Germany or the western Soviet Union. Fresh intelligence reports reaching the Pentagon indicate the Soviets may have scaled down their forces and combat readiness along the Polish border.
