A Stanford graduate and onetime oilfield roughneck, Prior will be succeeded by John Eldred Swearingen Jr., 39, executive vice president since 1956. Swearingen, a South Carolinian, went to Standard in 1939 from Carnegie Tech, won a reputation as a top production man, became general manager of Standard's production in 1951, vice president in charge of production in 1954.

Sowbelly & Spelunking. Proprietor of the Downstairs (and of another water hole, accurately called Upstairs at the Downstairs, situated due north) is a mustached, elegant North Carolinian named Julius Monk, who dresses like an under secretary at the Foreign Office, struts a pea-soup-thick British accent, and floats out an occasional sowbelly vowel. Monk opened the Downstairs early in 1956, now emcees the show, also fills in when one of the two pianists doesn't show up. He is also busy planning the Downstairs evacuation to another, larger catacomb. Selecting the site will not be easy. Says Monk...

He was elected by the A.P.'s 24-man board of directors to succeed the Philadelphia Bulletin's President-Publisher Robert McLean, 66, who resigned after 19 years. McLean's predecessor: the late Star Publisher Frank B. Noyes, who as president of the A.P. from...
...Reversing the flow of Middle East traffic, President Eisenhower last week picked former House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman James Prioleau Richards, 62, as a $20,000-a-year special assistant, gave him the chairmanship of a special U.S. mission to explain Eisenhower foreign policy to Middle Eastern nations. South Carolinian Richards, who retired from Congress last week after 23 years in the House, has a formidable reputation on Capitol Hill, at the White House and abroad: last year he led a successful fight to trim $1 billion from the foreign aid bill, repeatedly called on the Administration to produce...
