SEC Aide Named to Stoff
In White House Shifts

President Eisenhower today
selected Edward T. Tate, IS.
year-old Securities and Ex.
change Commission offlcial. II
replace on the White House stat
Charles F. Willis, jr, who has
stirred considerable controversy
as Federal job patronage dispen-
ser.
At the same time, Mr.. Eisen-
hover promoted Fred A. Seaton
to a new position as deputy as
sistant to the President for ad-
ministrative liaison.
In announcing these shifts
White House Press Secretal&
James C. Hagerty said that Mr.
Tate would work under Mr.. Sea-
ton and have responsibility for
personnel matters in liaison with
the various Government depart
ments and agencies.
Assistant to Adams
Mr.. Willis has been an assis-
tant to Sherman Adams, the as
sistant to the President and head
of the White, House staff.
Mr.. Eisenhower accepted his
resignation late yesterday with
deep regret" to be effective
June 80. Mr.. Tate's appointment
is effective July /.
The resignation of the 36-year-
old Willis had been rumored for
many months.
In accepting the resignation,
the President told Mr.. Willis:
"You have devoted yourself tire
lessly and effectively to our OBJ
jectives. We shall greatly miss
you"
Mr.. Willis got into hot water
last fall when he issued his
now-famous directive to Federal
agencies which ordered them to
list all GS-14 and above civil
service job vacancies with the
Republican National Committee
and not to fill them for 80 days.
The directive was a move to
give Republican applicants first
crack at the jobs, although it
was stated that the applicants
must have civil service qualifi-
cations.
The resultant heat of criticism
from the press and Democratic
members of Congress caused the
directive to wither on the vine.
Although it never was officially
rescinded, it was quietly ignored
by most agencies and the White
House and the Republican Ma
tional Committee, so far as is
known, never followed up on it,
A Republican National Com
mittee official later estimated
that not more than 200 jobs
were obtained by G. o. P. appli-
cantS as a result of the Willis
order.

the game should have been made.
Mrs. Keen won the first trick
with the king Of diamonds. She
followed with the Jack of dia-
monds. Mr.. Dale played the ace
and Mr.. Abel ruffed. Without
much thought he led q spade TO
.dunnmy's king and then q small
spade back, finessing the jack.
Mrs. Keen won with the queen
and laid down another high dia-
mond.
Mr.. Abel ruffed again. It was
only now that he realized what
those diamond ruffs were doing
to his trump suit. he had one
trump left in his hand. one on
the board and there was still one
outstanding. Also. the ace of
hearts hadn't been knocked out
yet.
He led q small heart, hoping
that Mr.. Dale held the ace and
would have no more diamonds

this trick. but when a ileart was
played back to the king. Mrs.
Keen won with the ace and
mercilessly pounded out q fourth
diamond.
Mr.. Abel rufied with his last

Of hearts and Mrs. Keen ruffed
with her now good 10 Of spades.
That was the setting trick.
How different the result would
