years of uninterrupted service to his country,
dropped to his death from the monumentlike
tower of the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md.
In the press and in Congress indignant voices
were raised against those who had maligned
the Secretary But in their next breath those
same voices were ganging up on another
public servant, David Lilienthal, chairman
of our Atomic Energy Commission And a
few days later we were reading about in
temperate, insulting Congressional attacks
on ECA Administrator Paul Hoffman, man
who gave up an upper bracket business
position to serve his country.
