Screening failure hurts Lyon nomination for Mines Bureau
Washington reports President Eisenhower faces embarrassment over the nomination of Tom Lyon as director of the Bureau of Mines. Lyon faces withdrawal after Senate testimony revealed a $5000 pension from Anaconda Copper and opposition to federal mine safety laws. Interior officials were unaware of the pension or views, prompting calls for a full background review and possible rebuke for those who failed to disclose. Lyon serves as acting deputy administrator of the Defense Materials Procurement Agency and has held roles in DMPA and the Defense Minerals Administration since 1951.
