Appointments

Named last week to important posts in the Eisenhower Administration:

MRS. OSWALD BATES LORD, 48, campaign-time co-chairman of the national Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon organization, to be U.S. representative on the U.N. Human Rights Commission, succeeding Eleanor Roosevelt, resigned. A flour heiress (Pillsbury Mills) with brains (Phi Beta Kappa at Smith College), efficient Mary Lord is the wife of a prosperous Manhattan textile manufacturer, mother of two sons, and a likely contender for the title of New York City's No. 1 committeewoman. Among her top posts: wartime chairman of Civilian Advisory Committee for the Women's Army Corps, president of the National Health Council, chairman of the U.S. Committee for the U.N. International Children's Emergency Fund. Of her new job, she said: "I have a lot of homework to do."

ELBERT PARR TUTTLE, 55, Atlanta tax lawyer and post-convention Republican state chairman, to be general counsel (head of the Legal Division) of the Treasury Department. Tuttle's high-domed head and earnest oratory came to the attention of several million U.S. televiewers during last summer's Republican National Convention, when he sparked the Georgia pro-Eisenhower delegation's dramatic and successful fight against the claims of the rival pro-Taft delegation. Tuttle had been in battle before: in World War II, he was an artillery battalion commander in the Pacific. An ex-officer who served under him remembers him as "the kind of guy who never got ruffled. He could wade through mud and keep clean, be under fire and keep cool."

T. (for THOMAS) COLEMAN ANDREWS, 53, Richmond accounting executive, to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue. With only a few months of college behind him, Andrews passed his state Certified Public Accountant exams at 22 (a record at the time), went on to reach the top of his profession as president (1950-51) of the American Institute of Accountants. A Democrat, he liked Ike but took no active part in the campaign. Blunt, hard-driving Coleman Andrews trod on many a toe as Richmond city comptroller and Virginia state auditor, and friends predict he will spare no toes as the nation's chief tax collector.

H. (for HUBERT) BRIAN HOLLAND, 48, Boston lawyer, to be Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Justice Department's Tax Division, a job once held by the complaisant T. Lamar Caudle. Born in London, Holland became a U.S. citizen at 25, after graduating from Yale and the Harvard Law School. He brings to his new post as top enforcer of U.S. tax laws a reputation as "one of the best tax lawyers in the country."

CHARLES RUFFIN HOOK JR., 38, vice president in charge of personnel of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co., to be Deputy Postmaster General. Son of a wealthy Ohio industrialist (now board chairman of Armco Steel Corp.), handsome Charlie Hook married a Morgan heiress, is a popular and ornamental member of Cleveland society.

C. (for CLARENCE) DOUGLAS DILLON, 43, investment banker (board chairman of Manhattan's Dillon, Read & Co. Inc.), to be Ambassador to France. Active in New York City charities and New Jersey politics, Dillon was an early and effective Eisenhower-for-President booster. He speaks French "pretty well," describes his hobby as "appreciation of art--looking at pictures," shares Ike's passion for golf (mid-80s). In Paris, he will work alongside a Dillon, Read vice president: Ambassador William H. Draper Jr., who last week announced that Ike had asked him to stay on "for several months" as top U.S. civilian representative in NATO councils.
