John V. Naish, 53, resigned as president of General Dynamics Corp.'s big, highflying (Atlas missile, B58 bomber, Convair commercial jets) Convair division because of "irreconcilable differences in management philosophy." Brother of Cinemactor J. Carrol Naish, Jack Naish gave up a profitable investment counseling firm in 1941 to become an aircraft riveter at Northrop, worked up to works manager in five years. In 1949 he joined Convair, shot up to president in 1958. He liked to run his billion-dollar division his own way. Since Frank Pace Jr. took over as General Dynamics chairman, more and more of Convair...
Into Washington on President-elect John F. Kennedy's Convair, the Caroline, winged Actor-Crooner Frank Sinatra and his close Hollywood pal, Cinemactor Peter Lawford, Jack Kennedy's brother-in-law. Also included in the entourage: a dog in a black sweater. Frankie and Peter had an urgent mission: to stage a mammoth Inauguration Eve entertainment gala in the capital's National Guard Armory.

In Hollywood, Lady Lawford, seventyish, a British subject ("I would have voted for Mr. Nixon"), took a salesgirl's position with a flossy local jeweler. She was to draw $50 a week for expenses, plus 5% on her sales. Her ladyship's friends explained that she is getting along on a $52-a-month British pension, with Lawford helping...
...Hollywood the cameras picked up Republican Cinemactor Cesar Romero, a greying panther stalking among the dejected at Nixon headquarters. In a poignant cliché from Washington, ABC showed rows of empty chairs at Republican National Headquarters. Republican National Committee Chairman Thruston B. Morton made appearances on both NBC and CBS, recklessly and gloriously told the U.S. at midnight that the Republicans really had it in the Western...
Sprung to fame as the nemesis of Alger Hiss, Nixon ran for the Senate in 1950 against liberal-wing Democratic Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas (wife of Cinemactor Melvyn Douglas), defeated her in what he called a "rocking, socking campaign." It featured Nixon's documented allegation that her voting record resembled that of New York's Commu nist-lining Congressman Vito Marcantonio-a charge originally hurled at Candidate Douglas not by Nixon but by an opponent in the Democratic primary...
