Cabinet Changes Coming, Truman Tells Newsmen By Lyle C. Wilson United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (UP) Presidortt Trums ft Stepped easily into his new role as headman of the nation and of the Democratic party at his first White House news conference since the election. In about half an hour of question and answer he left these impressions upon the men and women "who jammed Tiis office like a Black Hole of Calcutta:,. . I 1. A cabinet shake-up is coming and probably will extend through most of next year. 2. Bolting States' Rights Democrats need expect no pity from Mr.. Truman. 3. He will not tolerate lobbying by members of his administration to pursuade Congress to hike his budget figures. 4. He considers Gov. Thomas E. Dewey a sitting duck as a Presidential candidate. 5. At least four members of his cabinet are safe against any shake-up. Asked To Stay ' Mr. Truman, said he had asked all his. cabinet to stay ' on and they had agreed to do so. Under further questioning he said that there would be no cabinet changes at this time. Pressed further the President reminded reporters that they had asked the same questions in 1945 when he succeeded FDR in the White House and that the cabinet situation eventually adjusted itself. Checking back to the cabinet as it existed in April, 1945, the records show that only one of the Roosevelt group survived. He is James Forrestal, Secretary of National Defense. All the others quit on their own or under pressure or by direct request. Adjusted is hardly the word for that. 1 The President said he didn't want any electoral votes which had been pledged to J. Strom Thurmond, the States' Rights Presidential candidate. In snappy language he added that he had won the election without the Solid South and without New York State arid was glad of it. Whether the States' Rights members of Congress should be deprived of seniority or otherwise punished, the President feels, is a matter for Congress to decide. He said no word to protect them. . . The President would not discuss his budget or tax program. But he did say he was going to have the kind of budget he wanted a Truman budget. The Truman chin stuck out when he said it, too. Mr. Truman attributes his election in a large part to his own efforts in giving the people what he regards as the facts. But he acknowledges the great help of farmers and laborers. He said Dewey was the best political asset the Democrats had in this campaign. MARRIAGE LICENSE A marriage license has been issued here to Joyce N. Boone of Sullivan, R. 5, and Samuel L. Hale of Linton, R. 2.

Hoskins announced that the CIO American Radio Operators' union last striking union standing in the way of settlement of the three-months-old maritime walkout reached ''complete agreement" with shopowners today. The announcement came after a maritime 20-hour bargaining session. ... , ; ,, The agreement with the radio operators, which Hoskins said he thought would be ratified immediately, left only . one obstacle in the way of maritime peace on the Pacific Coast. That was the stand of Hairy Lundeberg, president of the Sailors Union of the Pacific (AFL), who publicly has said his men will not go back to work unless jurisdictional guarantees protecting the AFL union are given. The accord reached between the radio operators and the Pacific American Shipowners Association settled the disputes of all five of the original striking unions.
