New Team at U.N.

Nominated by President Eisenhower to be U.S. representatives to the ninth session of the U.N. General Assembly, which meets Sept. 21 in Manhattan:

AMBASSADOR HENRY CABOT LODGE JR., 52, who continues as permanent U.S. representative and chief of the delegation.

SENATOR H. ALEXANDER SMITH, 74, a New Jersey Republican lawyer who studied under Woodrow Wilson at Princeton, worked for Herbert Hoover's post-World War I relief teams, and rates as one of the Senate's best-informed authorities on Far Eastern policy.

SENATOR JAMES WILLIAM FULBRIGHT, Democrat of Arkansas, 49, onetime Rhodes scholar, author of the Fulbright (exchange scholarships) bill, and father of the 1943 Fulbright resolution, which committed the U.S. to the incipient U.N. organization.

CHARLES H. MAHONEY, 68, Negro Detroit attorney and president of the Great Lakes Mutual Life Insurance Co. Three other Negroes before Mahoney have served on the U.S. delegation as alternates, but Mahoney is the first to be nominated as a full representative. His own comment: "The President has given us Negroes something we can be proud of . . ."

CHARLES DOUGLAS ("C.D.") JACKSON, 52, Ike's wartime adviser in psychological planning, White House cold-war strategist until last April, and a vice president of TIME Inc.

To backstop the first team, whose toughest job will be to block the expected drive for Chinese Communist membership in the U.N., the President also named five alternates, including re-appointments for James J. Wadsworth, brother-in-law of Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington, and Mrs. Oswald Lord, 1952 co-chairman of the Citizens for Eisenhower. The three new alternates: Wright Francis Morrow, 61, wealthy Houston lawyer who backed the Texas Democrats for Eisenhower; Ade M. Johnson, 58, director of labor and industry in the state of Washington; Roger Williams Straus, 62, a New York industrialist (American Smelting & Refining Co.) and co-founder of the National Conference of Christians and Jews.
