Jobs Filled

At last Harry Truman found two men to fill top wartime administrative jobs that had gone begging for months:

P: Michael V. DiSalle, 42, yam-shaped Democratic mayor of Toledo, was named to the $16,000-a-year, trouble-laden post of price stabilizer. No businessman, Lawyer DiSalle had made a good record as chairman of Toledo's Labor-Management-Citizens Committee (The Toledo Plan) that has minimized the city's labor trouble for five years; he had the endorsement of Toledo's industrialists and the good will of labor leaders for the price-stabilizing job.

P: Millard F. Caldwell Jr., 53, prosperous lawyer and a highly regarded former governor of Florida, was named civilian defense administrator at $17,500 a year. Washington has no charms for him: he resigned his seat in Congress in 1940 and left the capital after his only son was killed there by a hit-run driver. He was taking the civilian defense job (which does not require Senate confirmation) as a patriotic duty.
