Story On
Mr. Stet'
Resigns 100000 a Year
Job 10 Aid FDR's De-
Tense Program
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June I'll am not
certain that Edward r. Stettinius,
who gave up his 100000 year job
with U. S. Steel to serve on FDR'S
Defense Program Board, would want
this story told 1t is a personal
story and it concerns something that
happened when he was an under
graduate at the University of Viz
ginia.
Everyone is familiar with his rec
ord in business, and everyone is ia
miliar with his distinguished ap-
pearance. Though only in his thir-
ties, he has long been gray - you
might almost say silver, or white
haired. He had gray hair even dur
ing his student days at Virginia.
Stettinius was graduated the year,
before l landed amid the halls of
Mr.. Jefferson's place of higher
learning at Charlottesville. Never.
thcless, l knew many of his friends
and fraternity brothers, and this
story which one told me, can be
vouched for.
Almost everybody at Virginia
called him Ed "Stet" Or simply
"Stet.' People who knew him for
lyears thought this was his real
name. Stet had the habit at Vir-
ginia of going off on hunting expe
ditions. He had place with a
couple of caretakers on it not too far
from the University, and sometimes
he would spend his week lends there.
One day call came from his
home, but Ed wasn't there. Some
members of his family had decided
to go to Europe, and they wanted
to talk with him before they sailed.
A friend of Stet got into his car and
ran out to this country shooting
place, hoping to find him there. But
the caretaker said he hadn't seen
Mr.. Stet.'
AS a matter of fact, it was Mon
day morning before Stet returned
to the University. He gave some
vague answer when one of his friends
inquired how the shooting had been.
Present at the time was a fraternity
brother who had made the trip out
to Stet's farm in an effort to find
HIN. He knew Ed hadn't been there,
and he decided that if Stat had rea-
sons for not disclosing his real
whereabouts that was his business.
Quite by chance, some months
later, this man was driving through
enc of the rural mountain districts
! of Virginia. He came upon little
chapel deep in a glade where the
mountain folk worshipped on Sum
days 1t was very nice little
chapel 1t wasn't six months old
Were very proud of it," one of
the residents confided ut was a
gift. A man named Mr.. Stet built
it for us and paid every cent OF the
cost himself"
wen, that was a secret EDWARD II.
Stettinius chose to keep. He never
mentioned it even to his friends,
probably because he was shy, and
doing good turns probably embar-
raised him.
, But in light of his most recent
lact-resigning a position that paid
him 100000 year in order to aid
the country at time when the
country needs capable men-it seems
permissible to dig back Is years and
relate this incident that occurred
during his student days. 1t shows
that in is years Ed "Stet' hasn't
changed a bit.
