MILESTONES, Page 61
DIED. Robert Anderson, 79, Texas lawyer and oilman who served
as Dwight Eisenhower's Navy Secretary from 1953 to 1954 and
Treasury Secretary from 1957 to 1961; in New York City. Ike urged
Anderson to be his running mate in 1956 and to try for the G.O.P.
presidential nomination in 1960. Citing his political inexperience,
Anderson refused both times. His life turned upside down in the
1980s, when he pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion and
operating an illegal offshore bank in the West Indies. He served
one month in prison.
