Deputy Under Secretary of State Robert Murphy offered Davies a chance to resign, though nine security hearings produced no evidence that he was disloyal. Davies replied: "I guess you'll have to fire me." In November 1954, John Foster Dulles did just that, charging Davies with "lack of judgment, discretion and reliability."

The report blamed the agency's shortcomings on its effusive, arm-waving chairman, Paul Rand Dixon, 55, a onetime aide to the late Democratic Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.

He had been hamstrung in his negotiations, Smith said, by a close-minded state government. And unless Governor Reagan and his men on the state college governing board were willing to back him in his compromises with the students, Smith saw no point in even trying to restore peace...
...students stated that Paul R. Dixon, the head of the Commission, should resign immediately. "Dixon's chief and perhaps only contribution to the commission's improvement would be to resign from the agency that he has so degraded and ossified," they wrote...
