McNamara Named
Defense Secretary
WASHINGTON VlM—Presi
dent-elect John F. Kennedy
has persuaded . Robert. S. Mc-
Namara, 44, to give up a $400,-
000-a-year job as president of
Ford Motor Co. to serve as sec
retary: of defense.
"I came to the conclusion that
personal considerations must be
subordinated to the best interests
of the United States," McNamara
told reporters yesterday after
Kennedy announced the Ford ex
ecutive had agreed to accept the
$25,000-a-year Cabinet post.
Kennedy said he realized that
McNamara who became pres
ident of the giant Ford com
pany only five weeks ago
was making a personal sacri
fice.
In addition to surrendering a
big salary, McNamara said he will
divest himself of big holdings of
Ford stock.
McNamara who described
himself as a registered Republi
can "but I vote ds a political .
in
dependent" was thd fifth of 10

apparently little the worse for a
night they spent huddled in the
woods in bitter cold weather.
"I don't see why they didn't
freeze to death," said Kenneth
Johnson, a carpenter, who found
the children—three girls and two
boys huddled together for
warmth in the 14-degree weather.
One girl, Shirley, Pearson, 13,
said they ran away from the
Knights of Pythias home because
they had been mistreated. She
said a matron had whipped her
brother, Jimmie, 11, and hit him
ever the head.
Later, after the children had re
turned to the home, Shirley said
she had not been mistreated. She
said she had no thought of leav
ing until Tula Faye Tester, 13,
another of the runaways, came to
the house about a week ago.

Record Cold Wave
Numbs East Coast
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
, Record cold—as low as 28 below
zero—benumbed the East yester
day, compounding the misery of
the Atlantic seaboard's. worst pre
winter blizzard. The digging out
task was monumental and an
guishingly slow.
No relief from the deep freeze
was in sight before tomorrow, the
Weather Bureau . said. Christmas
business losses already were in
the multimillions.
A bright sun; replacing snow
clouds, mocked the area, the
warmth of its rays dissipated in
the icy air. However, gale winds
subsided after piling up snow
drifts to a depth of nine feet.
The death toll from the week
end storm passed the 200 mark in
19 states and the District . of Co
lumbia.
