The name of the Director General is Edward J. Roth. The date of his appointment, which is exclusively a matter for the Authority, but which has already been published by them, was 19th October, 1960. The announcement was made on the same date.
I have no statement to make on the report referred to in the final part of the Question which, I presume, was a newspaper report.
