Carter's next step: a Cabinet us serv ce won't begin 1977 By DONALD MAY WASHINGTON (UPI) It didn't take long after Jimmy Carter sewed up the presidency for the capital to begin armchair speculating on who wfll be in the new Cabinet. It is a game played, essentially, in the dark. Carter and his aides have given no clues who will be selected. And Hamilton Jordan, Carter's campaign manager, once suggested in an interview that the Carter administration will be staffed at the top by persons not known nationally. If well- known figures are named, be said, the Carter drive will have failed.

Nonetheless, familiar Democrats from past administration figured in the first wave cf speculation.

Gramum said Carter would spend a week or less there.

Although Carter will take with him a transition schedule and other documents, Gramum said, "we expect DO announcements of major appointments or major changes" durig the vacation. i "The concept is not to have large numbers of persons flying in and out, but to give him some rest," Granumsaid. Tonight's news conference, scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. PST, will be carried live by all three major television networks. Mondale was to arrive in later today from his Minnesota home and take part in the transition briefings.

-Carter emit home at narise Wednesday after claiming victory in Atlanta, and he was moved to tears during an emotional appearance before hundreds of neighbors who had waited through the night to greet him at the depot He returned to the station in mid- afternoon to publicly thank Ford after getting a personal telephone call of congratulations from the President. Praising Ford for "the strong, well- planned and effective campaign that he ran," Carter said, "I am particularly greatful for his offer of close cooperation during the transition period" and "I will take full advantage of that offer." three appearances Wednesday, Carter made clear that he was eager to get down to the business of government and gain widespread public support after being elected with a sweep of the deep South but without the broad mandate he had sought elsewhere. Repeating the basic theme of his 22- month long campaign, Carter spoke of a need to make the government "a source of pride again," to build "a beautiful new spirit ia this country." and give the nation strong leadership from the White House. At one point, he said "one of the first tasks facing any sew president the unification of our country after a close and bard-fought election." Carter said he would seek to do that by working with Ford "and others like him who, even though divided by party, are united by common devotion to this country and the well-being of our people." As for the process of transition, Carter said his staff and Mondale's already were in contact with the White House to start making arrangements. Campaign manager Hamilton Jordan said Americans could expect to see a lot of new faces in the capital io the Carter administration.

He indicated an early selection wiU be a director for the Office of Management and Budget.

Very' soon after his inauguration Carter will face major economic decisions in connection with the fiscal 1S78 budget, which Congress begins considering early in the year.

As to the Cabinet, here is some of the early speculation: Secretary of state Maybe Zbiegniew Birezinski. Carter's foreign affairs adviser for the campaign and an expert on communism, or Jjmes Scolesinger, dismissed by Ford as defense secretary and one of those with whom Carter has conferred.

Perhaps someone whose were shaped under previous Democratic administrations, like George Ball, Cyrus'Vance or Paul Warnke. Defense secretary AFLCIO President George Meany. according to aides, would be pleased to see Schlesinger get this job back, and Carter had Meany's unqualified support in the campaign. Others have suggested perhaps Vance, a former Army secretary, or HaroJd Brows, former Air Force secretary. Labor secretary' Meany thinks an "obvious" choice would be John Dunlop.

Other labor sources considered Dunlop a likely choice. Secretary of Health. Education and Welfare Those same labor sources predicted Carter would tap United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock, who is known to be interested. Agriculture secretary P.R.

Hugh Kalich has a mathematical chance of retaining his seat after all absentee ballots in the 20th District are counted. Unofficial results after Tuesday's election gave Fuller a 271-votelead over Kalich. However, 2,752 absentee ballots in the 20th District have not been tabulated.

458; Wjhkiakuin County, 132; Pacific County. 66. a nd Thurston County, 62.

The voter turnout ia Lewis County was much higher than expected.

Venemoa predicted 65 per cent of the registered voters would go to the polls, but the actual count (21.475) was 77 per cent. It not kcown wr.ea Lewis County's absentee ballots will be coasted.
