Changes of the Week

P:A. B. (for Alonzo Byron) Ewing, 59, onetime treasurer of Sunshine Biscuits Inc. and acting treasurer of Kansas City's Flour Mills of America, seventh largest U.S. flour miller, moved up to the presidency of Flour Mills. Ewing was brought in last August to help Flour Mills out of a sack of troubles which resulted in a $3,000,000 loss last year and the resignations of President Henry H. Gate and Treasurer O. J. Spaulding. The company has filed a damage suit against Gate and Spaulding. The charge: using company money for speculative grain dealings on behalf of the corporation. P:Joseph A. Grazier, 50, executive vice president and acting president of American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp. of Pittsburgh, manufacturer of plumbing fixtures and heating equipment, was named to the presidency, replacing ailing Theodore E. Mueller, 68, who becomes board chairman. Grazier went to American-Standard in 1937 after nine years with the Manhattan law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell.

P: William D. Mitchell, 41, after only five months in the Administration, resigned as Small Business Administrator. A Denver businessman, Mitchell made a poor impression on some local Republicans while touring the U.S. surveying small business. He had also antagonized powerful Congressmen and small business leaders by being liberal with technical and managerial advice, but tight with Government loans. Three hours after Mitchell offered to quit for "personal reasons," he was out without the usual letter of regret from President Eisenhower.
