Bowie's Nomination Receives Approval

The Senate approved yesterday the nomination of Robert R. Bowie, former profesor of Law, as assistant secretary of state for policy planning.

The proposal passed in a voice vote without debate in spite of former opposition of some Republican Senators to Bowie's Far Eastern views.

Formerly from Baltimore, he had served a term as assistant attorney general of Maryland. His career has included service as legal chief for High Commissioner John J. McCloy.
