Fremont Tribune December 22, 1976 Wednesday Cabinet almost complete PLAINS, Ga. (AP) Presidentelect Carter is postponing until Thursday his final Cabinet appointment so he can make a quick trip to Chicago to attend funeral services for Mayor Richard J. Daley. Daley, the Democratic boss whose efforts in Carter's behalf fell short of giving the President-elect Illinois' electoral votes this year, died Monday. Carter was driving to Albany, some 50 miles from his home in Plains, then making a round trip flight to Chicago for today's funeral mass.

He said he planned to return home to Plains later in the day and would be on the telephone as part of continuing hunt for top talent for his new administration. The President -elect had planned to hold a news conference today to announce his choice for the final Cabinet vacancy secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The news conference was rescheduled for 10 a.m. EST Thursday. After announcing three Cabinet selections at Tuesday news conference, Carter fold, reporters gathered around him also hoped to announce by Thursday his choices for director of central intelligence, chief of the nation's energy programs and FBI director.

Carter's reference to the FBI was unexpected since -elect earlier had given the impression he might take several weeks to decide whether to replace the present director, Clarence M. Kelley. Asked again if he might be planning to name someone new to the FBI post, Carter again responded, "I hope so." Kelley, has said he will not leave the post voluntarily. At Monday's nationally broadcast news conference, Carter made the following personnel announcements: -Harold Brown, president of the California Institute of Technology and a top Pentagon official during the Lyndon Johnson administration, will be Carter's secretary of defense. Carter said Brown's deputy secretary will be Charles Duncan a Houston investment banker and former president of the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co.

-Ray Marshall, University of Texas economics professor and director of the university's Center for the Study of Human Resources, to be secretary of labor. -Patricia Roberts Harris, a Washington attorney and former dean of the Howard University Law School and ambassador to Luxembourg, to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment. Mrs. Harris was the second woman and the first black named to the incoming Cabinet. Brown said his goal as defense secretary will be 'an efficient, lean, muscular, responsive military organization" that will dovetail its activities with those of the state and treasury departments in seeking "an appropriate combination of foreign policy commitments, military capability and expenditures." Carter told questioners he hopes the first federal budget he prepares will reflect a defense spending saving of $5 billion to $7 billion, as he promised in his campaign, and reiterated his intent conduct a "very slow, very methodical, very careful withdrawal" of U.S.

In a report released today, the National Advisory Committee on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, a -supported advisory panel, urged states to go slowly in cutting criminal penalties for "victimless It said cutting penalties for such offenses seems to increase those crimes and, in turn, channels more money to organized crime.

The report said decriminalization plans usually are based on the idea that removal of stiff penalties from victimless crimes would cut corruption and let police concentrate on more serious offenses. experience with legalization in certain areas indicates that these arguments are not realistic," the panel said, contending that legal offtrack betting and state lotteries have not lured gamblers away from illegal bookies and the numbers racket. "The partial legalization of gambling and p*rnography not only appears to have increased the levels of those activities, but may have increased profits for organized crime," the committee said.

The commission concluded that "the issue of revising laws on victimless crimes is one that states should view with considerable caution." The panel said investigations "indicate that p*rnography has become organized crime's latest business," producing profits which are pumped into loansharking, extortion, consumer fraud and bribery.

a 288-page report on organized crime, the commission also recommended establishment of special prosecutors, statewide grand juries, witness immunity and protection laws, electronic surveillance and election campaign reform laws. It urged that prosecutors' offices be removed from politics and that assistant prosecutors be career government employes. Other suggestions included a nonpartisan selection plan for judges. The report said organized mobsters have moved into a variety of legitimate businesses, including freight companies and airlines, which it said are used as fronts for smuggling of drugs, weapons, jewelry, cigarettes and alcohol.
