THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA New Cabinet Post May Be Created Quits WASHINGTON (UP) Creation of a new senior cabinet post of secretary of foreign affairs was proposed in a foreign policy study released last night. The _new secretary would serve as the president's chief deputy on all matters of foreign policy and head up a reorganized State De partment.

In a study made for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the research group proposed setting up within the new Department of Foreign Affairs three component departments. Each would be head ed by a secretary of cabinet rank.

He refused to attend the Melbourne premiere because he considered Kramer had misused the right to make alterations in the script The message of both the film and the book, however, was the same: Humanity dying out, by ra diation sickness or suicide, in the wake of a shoi t war in 1962 that quickly poisoned all the northern hemr,phere and then drifted its lethal clouds across the equator toward Anarctics.
