Salem, Oregon,' Thursday, March 14, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' - Section 2 Page 9 20 Changes in ! Ike Team Made Since Election Turnover Restricted So Far to 2nd Echelon Of Officials By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UPI Presi dent Eisenhower's administration team has undergone extensive re shuffling since the November elec t ons. More than 20 major posts have changed hands. Eo far, the second term turn over has bpen restricted to the s:cond echelon of policy-making olficials. There have been no changes in the cabinet itself, but there may be some coming lter in the year.1 One official, Assistant Defense Secretary Robert Tripp Ross, quit under fire when congressional in vestigators frowned at his connec tion with firms holding military contracts. Others resigned for a variety of personal reasons, such as health or a desire to return to private business. Several simp ly transferred to other govern ment jobs. No Complaints Voiced If any of the departing officials quit because they didn't like Mr. Eisenhower's programs of "mod ern Republicanism' they kept their complaints to themselves. There has been no public indica tion that policy differences fig ured in any of the resignations. During Mr. Eisenhower's first form there were three changes in his cabinet. James P. Mitchell re placed Martin Durkin as secretary of labor, Marion Folsom suc ceeded Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby as secretary of health, education and welfare, and Fred A. Seaton fol lowed Douglas McKay as secre tary of the interior. Of these, only Durkin, former head of the AFL Plumbers Union, left with a blast at administration policies. Sharp Contrast Mr. Eisenhower's success ..to date in holding his top echelon relatively intact contrasts sharp ly with the record of the Truman and Truman administrations. Under both Democratic presidents there were numerous resignations and ousters of top officials which resulted from public clashes over policy. For example the late Sec retary of Interior Harold H. lekrs stormed out of the Truman cab inet with a blast at the nomina tion of California oilman Edwin V. Pauley to a government post. Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace walked the plank after he made a speech attacking Tru man administration foreign poli cies. Humphrey Protests Mildly The nearest the Eisenhower ad ministration has come to that sort of family fight since the second term began was the recent public protest of Secretary of the Treas ury George M. Humphrey against the record peacetime spending of tiie fiscal 1958 budget. But despite rumors that he'll quit, Humphrey is still in the cabinet. Replacements have been drawn mainly from business and law with a sprinkling of educators and public officials. A number of of ficials already serving in the ad ministration were promoted to fill vacancies at a higher level. Key Departments Nearly half of the going and coming has taken place in two key departments Mate and De fense. Christian A. Hcrter, former Re publican governor of Massachu setts, came in as undersecretary of state to succeed Herbert Hoover Jr. who returned to his California oil business.
