Ike's Team
CPYRGHT
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Of We 's younger
brother, Milton, who handles special
and good will missions for the President.
But most people don't realize that four
other sets of brothers hold influential
positions in the present administration.
Pictured here, they are the Dulles,
Brownell, Twining and Gruenther brothers.
They didn't ride each other's coattails.

different directions, and reached the top
at about the-same time.
