DAVIS WASHINGTON (AP) The day after John F. Kennedy was lat Johnson makes cracks bout Humphrey for talking so muc and may be cooling off him. But most people in a osition to judge believe that hese two, who have worked ogether so smoothly so long, will keep on happily together. Johnson is giving Humphrey a role as vice president -t i.

i seci luie as vice yiesiueni dent Johnson asked than Kennedy ever gave John- all Cabinet members to stay in son. their jobs. "He told them," Pierre Salinger said, "he needed their help in the time ahead." Cynics, reasonably enough in the light of history, believed vtm ijj.oi,uijj uciicvcU Ait kvj.i ao any Johnson was merely making a member of the government, polite gesture. Didn't Harry S. Truman just about clean out, in seven months, the Cabinet he inherited from Franklin D.

Roosevelt? Today, as the Johnson administration heads into its third full year, half the Cabinet is still made up of men he took over from Kennedy. These durable holdovers, chief among them Secretary of Defense Hobert S. McNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk, have helped make the LBJ team the solidest outfit Washington has seen in many years. But the White House staff, another vital part of the team, has changed greatly. Salinger, the press aide Johnson inherited, quit to make a race for the Senate, unsuccessfully.

Advisers Arthur K. Schlesinger Jr. and Theodore Sorensen quit to write books, successfully. Still, in late 1965, one of the four presidential assistants who count most is an original Kennedy man, McGeorge Bundy. He advises Johnson, as he did Kennedy, on national security.

Bundy, 44, a New Englander, belongs to a quartet otherwise composed wholly of Texans: Bill D. Movers, 31; Jack Vaien- ti, 44, and Marvin Watson, 40 former state Democratic chair man. Moyers, LBJ's press secre tary and all-around troubleshoo ter, is topmost. This young Bap tist minister, whose reputation for good judgment is rivalec only his ability to get along with others, has Johnson's ear and confidence to an unrivalet degree. In return, like other members of the staff, Moyers gives the President his full devotion Around the Wh'ite House offices there's a prevading sense tremendous loyalty to Johnson the man, as well as Johnson, the President, no matter how hare he works his staffers or how vigorously he may criticize them for some shortcoming.

"To all of these people," one qualified observer said, "Loyn don Johnson is The Man in the White Hat, always on the side the angeles. "The President, despite wha you may hear to the Moyers said, "is a very toleran man to work for. He tries to ge me to take time off, and with the other people around thi White House, it is the same. wants us to have time for ou. families and our outside activi ties." One of President Kennedy' closest associates was Larenci F.

O'Brien, now 48, who wa something of a genius in selling White House programs to Con gress. Johnson liked O'Brien and his work so much he ha made him his postmaster gener al. Why has Johnson kept on many "Kennedy men?" It is evident that he respectei them. He spoke well of them a a group even when he was vie president and on the outside things. It is also clear th.it he figure Commerce John T.

I have the privilege being as well informed as any ave the President himself, and ossibly (I have) the same in ormation as the President." indulgence in little at his helpers has extended McNamara and Rusk. He has gibed at the slick- laired, 49-year-old McNamara "the guy with the hair oil." Ie has had fund with Rusk by ailing him the Rhodes scholar who takes orders from "a little ild graduate of San Marcos itate Teachers College." Johnson is obviously proud of iIcNamara and finds in him a tindred spirit for drive and de- ermination. McNamara al- has been secretary ofde- fense longer than any other man and associates say he has agreed to stay as long as LBJ wants him.

Secretary of state Rusk, 56, may not serve out the full four- year term to which Johnson was elected in 1964. It is understood hat last year, when Johnson asked him to remain, Rusk agreed only if it would be just 'or a year or so. Meantime, attacks on Rusk seem only to strengthen Johnson's support of him. In July, when Rusk was under fire, Johnson told a news conference: 'He ranks first in the Cabinet and he ranks first with me To head his Uriited Nations squad, Johnson picked Arthur J. Goldberg, 57, who has served Kennedy as secretary of labor and then on the Supreme Court.

3epending on Goldberg's effectiveness at the United Nations, and his contributions to administration policy (he has Cabinet status), he may be considered for even higher rank as time goes on. To speak for America through the United States Information Agency and its Voice of America, Johnson chose two men he knew well. The new director of the USIA is Leonard H. Marks, 49, who used to represent Johnson- owned radio and television interests. To head the Voice, Johnson chose John Chancellor, 38, a personal friend who was White House correspondent for the National Broadcasting Co.

In diplomatic assignments generally Johnson has stuck with experienced men and in most cases professionals. These include Ambassadors David K.E. Bruce, 67, in London; Foy D. Kohler, 57, in Moscow Charles E. Bohlen, 61, in Paris; Chester Bowles, 64, in India, and Edwin O.

Reischauer, 55, in ceeding Luther H. Hodges; Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler, succeeding C. Douglas Dillon; Atty. Gen, Nicholas deB.

Katzenbach, who had been the No. 2 man in the Justice Department under Robert Kennedy, and Secretary John W. Gardner, of health, education and welfare, succeeding Anthony J. Celebrezze, named by Johnson to be a federal judge. Only in the case of Robert Kennedy has there been any talk of disharmony in the departures of John F.

Kennedy appointees. Even here, all was placid on the surface. Johnson waited a long time to announce formally his choice of the Katzenbach, 43, but he has backed him warmly, especially when others found fault.

Mitterrand, 49, has a distinguished career as editor, lawyer and statesman. He was a leader of the anti-Nazi resistance movement when German troops occupied Paris. Like De Gaulle, he has what the French call an "image." The old general is undoubtedly a hero to many Frenchmen. He is a father "who can take care of everything." He is a symbol of France's past grandeur.

In public he was calmer but still forceful, declaring: "We men are inclined to think that because we weigh more are taller and pur shoe size is bigger that this is also true of our intelligence and education."

Gardner, 53, of HEW, a Re- president Fowler, 57, Carnegie Foundation and an educator. He is still catching up on his Cabinet job duties. A Cabinet job is a much bigger deal these days than it was under Kennedy.

Johnson gives Cabinet members a greater sense of participation. He believes in the chain of command and doesn't go around his top people, the way Kennedy sometimes did, to get information farther down the line. Johnson can talk roughly to his Cabinet members, just as to lesser people. For example, he is said to have been almost fierce in one early demand that plus. However, some critics have called this window dressing, since no woman except Lady Bird Johnson seems to have great influence at policymaking levels.

In the appointment of Negroes to high government office, no question of window dressing has ever been raised. For one thing, Johnson made In Viet Nam, the hottest spot for any ambassador, Johnson has Henry Cabot Lodge, 64, a Republican who first got the job under Cabinet legacies from Kennedy, along with McNamara and fe her esen government's solicitor general. This post, whose holder represents the government in Supreme Court cases, is now the highest prestige job for a Negro federal executive office. Also Johnson retained Eobert Weaver, 57, as administrator of tne Housing and Home Finance Agency, to which Weaver was named by Kennedy. Other Negroes named to high office by Johnson include James Tbrit president of Howard University, to be deputy representative to the United Nations Security Council; Hobart Taylor to-be a member of the board of directors of the Export-Import Bank and Clifford Alexander lustre more in keeping with 20th century international and political reality.

As the Dec. 5 elections approach, Mitterrand is increasingly backed by influential pro- democratic groups in France. They include socialists, churches, disgruntled farmers, free enterprise associations and labor unions. The anti-Gaullists accuse the general of "arrogance" and of confusing his own destiny with that of France. They fear that De Gaulle's ambition to refashion Europe in his own image will eventually isolate France and destroy NATO and the Common Market.

For the first time in recent French history pro-NATO and democratic forces have decided to discard the petty squabbles that usually divide them and unite behind a popular candidate. Even the French Communist party is supporting Mitter- rand, however grudgingly. For the Communists this was indeed a bitter pill to swallow. Mitterrand is strongly in favor of NATO and the Common Market two international bodies that the Communists, like De Gaulle, hate most. He is also an opponent of De Gaulle's pet project for the development of an independent French nuclear force.

Young Communists and leftist intellectuals are demanding a "France-first" policy from their leaders. They no longer want to be the tail of the Russian kite manipulated by bureaucrats in the Kremlin.
