Changes of the Week

P: William Clay Ford, 31, whose sputtering Continental division was placed under Lincoln's wing three months ago, got a new job. He took over direction of Ford's overall styling program, which was one of the main jobs of Executive Vice President L. D. Crusoe, 61 (TIME, Oct. 8). until he had a heart attack Oct. 27.

P: Merle Silas Jones, 51, was appointed president of CBS-Television, succeeding Jack L. Van Volkenburg, 53, who will retire Dec. 31. Born in Omaha, Jones graduated from the University of Nebraska Law School in 1029, three years later gave up his law practice to join the sales staff of WAAW in Omaha. After serving as general manager of four radio stations, three of them CBS affiliates (longest hitch: St. Louis' KMOX, 1937-44), Jones became vice president of CBS' television network programs in 1951.

P: Robert Edmonds Kintner, 47, was elected executive vice president in charge of color television at National Broadcasting Co. two weeks after his resignation as president of American Broadcasting Co. (TIME, Oct. 29). In order not to forfeit a chunk of his $300,000 severance check from ABC, Kintner will not start his new job until Jan. 1. He will try to improve and expand NBC's color programs in hopes of boosting the lagging sales of color TV sets (TIME, Oct. 22).
