Powell's Abyssinian Baptist Church. On hand to lead the obeisances were Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff and Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg, eleven Congressmen, A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and Walter Reuther's brother...
...area, relief, the Kennedy Administration has taken action. Last week the President announced a food-for-peace mission to be sent to Latin America, also dispatched Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff to Miami for a four-day, on-the-spot survey of 32,000 Cuban refugees.

These guidance reports, circulated to officials and the public, would make concrete recommendations hopefully calling...
...road-and miles from the left-side soft shoulder that sometimes seemed to be promised in Kennedy campaigning. Reading from right to left they ranged from North Carolina Democrat Luther Hodges (Commerce), 62, through Republican Douglas Dillon (Treasury), 51, and Independent Robert McNamara (Defense), 44, through Middle-Reading Abe Ribicoff (Health, Education and Welfare), 50, Labor Lawyer Arthur Goldberg (Labor), 52, to dogmatic Fair Dealer Orville Freeman (Agriculture), 42.
