Appointed by Ike last November to review the nation's military-assistance program, the committee members did some on-the-spot reporting themselves. Chairman Draper, 65, once Army Under Secretary (1947-49) and later top U.S. civilian representative to NATO (1952-53), personally inspected forces in the Korea-Japan-Formosa area.

The shift marks a return to power of courtly, fiercely competitive Will Clayton, 79, onetime U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, who retired as chairman of Anderson, Clayton in 1950-only to see sales start to move down. They skidded from $1,068,000,000 in 1951 to $792 million in fiscal 1958. Clayton, still the biggest stockholder (he and his family own 40% worth $52 million), tangled with President Whittington and Chairman and Chief Executive Lamar Fleming...
