CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) -
President Nixon today named
Transportation Secretary John
A. Volpe to be ambassador to
Italy and selected California oil
company executive Claude S.
Brinegar to succeed him in the
second-term Cabinet.
The announcements at the
President’s mountaintop retreat

al—the Cabinet post yet to be

for a new term.
Sources have reported that

diplomat, Graham Martin, who
will be "receiving another im-
portant assignment in the ad-
ministration in the second
term," Ziegler said.
The spokesman described the
45-year-old Brinegar as "one of
the most gifted young execu-
tives in the United States to-
day."
Brinegar has no previous ex-
perience in government, but
Ziegler said "he has made his
mark as a highly qualified
manager.”
The secretary-designate is
senior vice president of the Un-
ion Oil Co. of California and
serves as president of the
firm’s Union 76 Division.
Officials at this mountaintop
retreat, where Nixon came
Tuesday to work on his reorga-
n i z a 11 o n plans, announced
Wednesday that Nixon will
keep Earl Butz as Agriculture
secretary, but will replace
Commerce Secretary Peter G.
Peterson with South Carolina
textile manufacturer Frederick
B. Dent.
Peterson will take on a tem-
desk, Nixon is expected to
move on with disclosures for
choices to fill other key govern-
ment spots.
Among these could be the
post of Central Intelligence
Agency director. -
There has been continuing
speculation—not disputed by
the White House—that Nixon
soon will replace CIA Director
Richard Helms.
The normal retirement age
for professional CIA employes
is 60, which Heim* will reach in
March.

OKLAHOMA CITY, 0K73105
By NICK STUART
QEN. Fred R. Harris, one-time hopeful for the Democrat
3 presidential nomination and later a supporter of
Sen. George McGovern, did not vote in the 1972 primary,
runoff or presidential elections.
Comanche County courthouse election records checked
today show Harris and his wife, LaDonna, last voted
in the Nov. 3, 1970, general election.
A Harris aide contacted in Oklahoma City at first said
the 20.year politician had voted at every election, but
when informed of the record said, "If that’s what the
record shows, I’m sure it’s right. ’
Harris was in a Washington, D. C., meeting and could
not be reached for comment.
Political observers said they could not recall when a
U S senator—especially one who had sought the nation's
highest office—had not voted in a presidential election.
Election Board Secretary Mrs. J. N. Logan said Harris
and LaDonna had not applied in time for absentee ballots.
Mrs Logan said Harris’ secretary had called the Thurs-
