When the committee closed down for the weekend, McCarthy was not yet done with the Voice. But already the hearings had sped the departure of Wilson Compton, head of State's International Information Administration, which includes the Voice. Onetime president of the State College of Washington, Dr. Compton* took over the I.I.A. a year ago, and proved to be no great shakes as an administrator. His own testimony before the committee showed amazingly little detailed knowledge of what was going on in the Voice. On the third day of the hearings, Secretary Dulles accepted Compton's resignation. Reported successor: Robert Livingston Johnson, 58, president of Philadelphia's Temple University.
*Brother of Karl Taylor Compton. chairman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Corp., Arthur Holly Compton, Nobel Prizewinner and chancellor of St. Louis' Washington University.
