The JSAers may have liked Ike, but he isn't the answer!
HINT: This is someone who appears twice in the first two years of JSA stories!

Neither Chuchill not the Canary!
HINT: The role this person play in the JSA stories is to set them on particular cases.

Bingo!
Technically, it's an unnamed "FBI Chief", but presumably it's supposed to be FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (and I believe Roy Thomas made it explicitly Hoover when retelling these early stories).
Hoover was made an "associate member" in All-Star Comics #9.

Who was Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson and what was his innovation?

The Major is basically the founder of DC Comics (the National Periodical Publications portion of it), before Harry Donenfeld swindled him out of it. There is no one clear company he founded because it actually went through about 8 name changes everytime he went out of business, but "Detective Comics, Inc" is the one most know.
He was also a cartoonist himself. He oversaw the creation of More Fun Comics, (originally New Fun), Adventure Comics and Detective Comics.
He was purposely phased out by Donnenfeld and Liebowitz beginning DC's long legacy of dirty business.

Ah yes, that too. The reason? He couldn't afford to pay the licenses fees. Which is also why every DC comic lost money until Action Comics #1, which changed everything.

Wow, Cobie, your encyclopedic knowledge of DC history blew me away. EDE got the innovation, so normally I probably would have given it to him, but Cobalt Kid's insight into the whole situation actually taught me something, which I love. It is open to Eryk Davis Ester and Cobalt Kid, whomever gets a question up first.

Thanks! Comic book history, specifically DC's early days, is something fascinated by. (And Eryk is also quite knowledgable on the topic).
Here's one thats kind of related: More Fun Comics, the original DC series was cancelled in 1948-1949. It's believed this is not because of sales but because of what reason?
