South Dakota's Republican Chan Gurney, who lost his Senate seat to Isolationist Francis Case in a primary election last spring, won his reward for loyal support of Administration defense programs on the Armed Services Committee. The reward: a presidential appointment to fill out the remaining 22 months of a vacant seat on the Civil Aeronautics Board. Salary: $15,000 a year.
