Description
Dr. Karl T. Compton, President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, strongly endorsed the appointment of Carroll Wilson as General Manager of the Atomic Energy Commission. He told the Senate Atomic Committee, which must pass on the nominations of the Commissioners and General Manager, that he did not know of any better man than Wilson for the job. Compton also said he approved of the policies of the Commission developed thus far. From: Beth Gore.
