Last week, despite the mutterings of patronage-bent Republicans, President Eisenhower named Democrat Robert McKinney, New Mexico newspaper publisher (Santa Fe New Mexican), cattleman and corporation director, as the U.S. representative in the 45-nation International Atomic Energy Agency, created to carry out the atoms-for-peace program that the President proposed in December 1953. Patronage problems aside, brainy Bob McKinney, 47, seemed a sound choice for the post. A onetime (1951-52) Assistant Secretary of the Interior, he served ably in 1955-56 as chairman of a top-level citizens' panel set up by the Joint Congressional Committee...

Iowa Democratic Chairman Jake More, Kefauverite leader of the 48-man convention delegation, announced that he was switching to Harriman. And by some mysterious magic, Harriman's convention strategist, ex-National Chairman Frank McKinney, arrived at the conclusion that Harriman would still get 450 on the first ballot...
...Frank E. McKinney, 52, Indianapolis banker, Harry Truman's hand-picked choice as Democratic National Chairman until he was ousted by the Stevensonites in 1952. He is convinced that Adlai is far from the popular choice, that the U.S. is a gold mine of unpanned Harriman strength, and he will be with Harriman until the bitter end. His battle cry to Harriman agents: "Don't sit back and let nature take its course; there is work to be done...
