Note
Born in Glenwood, Iowa, Whitney

and the University of Nebraska (1923 -- 1926). He was admitted to the Iowa
and Wisconsin bar associations in 1927. Gillilland practiced law in Iowa from
1927 to 1953 and served as the Glenwood city solicitor and Mills County attorney
for a time. From 1938 to 1941 he was a judge on the bench of the 15th Judicial
District.
Gillilland was active in Republican
politics both at the state and national levels. He was chairman of the Iowa
State Republican Central Committee from 1948 to 1950 and was chair of Iowa's
delegation to the 1948 GOP National Convention. He also served as the head
of the executive committee of the Republican National Strategy Committee in

In 1953, Whitney Gillilland was

member of the Civil Aeronautics Board from 1959 to 1976, and was chairman
from 1960 to 1961.
