RICHMOND, July Reap
pointment of two major positions

nounced today by Gov. Battle.

Gov. Tuck in 1947 to succeed w.
Tayloe Murphy. His term actually

increased during the term.
In approving raises for several
top executives, the 1850 General
Assembly also voted to increase
the treasurer's pay from $500 to
$4,000, effective in the new budget
beginning July l.. To enable the
treasurer to take advantage OF
this legislative action. the appoint
ment was delayed. and Mr.. Dillon
served on a holdover basis.

four new appointments-three to
the Board of Visitors of Virginia
Military Institute and one to the
