Preserving the Place. Back at the L.BJ. ranch for the Thanksgiving holiday, the President took the wheel of his station wagon and, horn a-honk-ing, led a six-car cavalcade of guests and newsmen through herds of frightened cattle, sheep and horses. With Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman, he hammed it up for photographers by trying to corral a mournful-looking steer...
...other hand, Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman has long since wearied of his frustrating job, and will presumably be replaced. To promote and administer his antipoverty, medicare and aid-to-education programs, Johnson may want someone of higher caliber than Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Anthony Celebrezze. Interior Secretary Stewart Udall all too enthusiastically supported Kennedy for President against Johnson in 1960, and may soon be taking leave of his department.

Hodges, whom Johnson does not consider energetic enough to cope with the problems of compliance with the Public Accommodations section of the Civil Rights Law and the Area Redevelopment Act, will reportedly be asked to resign. Buford Ellington, ex-Governor of Tennessee and a personal friend of Johnson, may become Secretary of Agriculture, while Frank Stanton, President of CBS, seems first in line for Commerce...
