Thomas, 67, Utah's kindly, scholarly Democratic Senator for the past 18 years, took a $17,500-a-year job as the first civilian High Commissioner of the Pacific islands taken from Japan in World War II (and since governed by the Navy). A lifetime student of the Pacific area and onetime Mormon missionary in Japan (1907-12), Thomas helped lay out the U.N. formula for postwar trusteeships at Montreal...
