...Needham was in Europe. When Needham returned early last week, he was presented with a fait accompli. He resigned. His successor Batten may well be only a caretaker chairman. Among candidates to succeed him eventually: Paul Kolton, current chairman of the American Stock Exchange and Donald Marron, the brilliant (IQ: 190) chief of Mitchell, Hutchins, a Wall Street brokerage house. Needham plans to stay on as a consultant to Batten. But he rejected the Big Board's No. 2 post of president.
