...potential nominees are reluctant to commit themselves to a boss who may have only a bit more than a year in power. According to Washington rumor, such top businessmen as Henry Ford II, General Electric's Reginald Jones and Xerox's Peter McColough have turned down the post of Secretary of Commerce.
