Length, date, and QPQ are all fine, but I'm a little concerned about the hook matching what is stated in the article. The hook says "only a few months into his term", while the article says "shortly after" his October appointment. Aside from the fact that both of these assertions advocate somewhat of a point of view (whose definition of "shortly" or "a few months" are we using?), there is a potential disconnect between these two statements. I think being more precise in both the article and the hook would be beneficial here (he was replaced in May 1953, but is that when he resigned? Because six months is arguably neither "shortly after" or "a few months into") and would resolve any ambiguity. Once this is resolved, though, it should be good to go.
