tions and becoming third secretary
ut Stockholm.

he edited the college newspaper, the
Dartmouth, and was a member of
Kappa Kappa Kappa Fraternity and
the honorary scholastic fraternity,
Phi Beta Kappa.
At Harvard he took his masters
and doctors degrees.
Besides his mother, Mariner leaves

The authors are described as two

Postmaster General Farley, the
subject of this new biography, was
out of the city and unavailable for
