...West Orange, N.J. New Jersey's Governor Harold G. Hoffman thought more people were responsible for the death of the Lindbergh baby than Bruno Hauptmann, who was executed for the crime. Calling Schwarzkopf's investigation "the most bungled police job in history," the Governor refused to reappoint him. West Pointer Schwarzkopf went on to more fame as narrator of radio's Gang Busters series, re-entered the Army and was sent to Iran during World War II to reorganize the imperial police force and to keep supply lines open to Russia...
...control of either of us make a change in the chairmanship of the commission advisable." Thus, after five effective and harassed years, Strauss last week announced his retirement from his job when his term expires at month's end. He turned down President Eisenhower's offer to reappoint him for a second five-year term (TIME, June 9), accepted instead a new post as special presidential assistant for atoms-for-peace. Replied Dwight Eisenhower in a letter of rare warmth accepting Strauss's resignation: "Thanks in large measure to your early awareness of the broadest military implications...
Despite ability and eloquence, Democratic Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas E. Murray's frequent personality and policy clashes with AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss made his departure from office readily predictable (TIME, May 6).

Instead, in an obvious effort to head off Democratic congressional criticism, he nominated onetime (1949-53) Truman Assistant Navy Secretary John F. Floberg, 41, a political independent who has been practicing law in Washington since leaving government. Jack Floberg has one sound credential for AEC service: he played an active...
President Eisenhower decided last week that he will not reappoint Thomas E. Murray to the Atomic Energy Commission when Murray's term expires June 30. To Washingtonians the President's decision will come as no surprise since Manhattan Millionaire Murray, the remaining Democratic member of the five-man AEC (down to four since the death of Scientist John von Neumann), has long been at loggerheads with AEC Chairman Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss...
Murray's term expires in June, and it is doubtful that the President will reappoint him. Strauss will do everything he can to prevent Murray from remaining on the AEC; motivated by a powerful sense of charisma, he has no sympathy for gadflies. The service which Murray performs in keeping Strauss on his toes and airing important AEC disputes is an essential one. A Democratic Congress can try to get the President to reappoint Murray, if only by the expedient of log-rolling. It might be worth sending Scott McLeod to Ireland, if Thomas Murray could stay...
