Society Of Sponsors
Praised for Work Of
RehabiIitating Boys

Sponsoring those who need
social guidance is not a sub
stitute for religion but an in
tegral part of it, Commissioner of
Social Security John w. Tram
burg declared yesterday.
This official of the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare addressed the Bureau of
Rehabilitation and its organiza-
ton of lay citizens, the Society
of Sponsors. The annual session
was held at the National Train
ing School for Boys.
II think we have. learned that
the obvious needs of the program
are not as easily accomplished
as we had earlier hoped" said
Mr.. Tramburg. We have learned
not to give up but retrench and
with renewed vigor and enthus-
iaSm to move forward and
gather more into our fold. It has
been in the doing that the simple
personal rewards have brought
forth the dedicated sponsors who
have become the real disciples of
the program"
Bennett Praises Society.
James v. Bennett. director of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
said society is doing a better
job in rehabilitation now than
it did q quarter of a century
ago. He thanked the Society of
Sponsors for the aid it has
given those who come to the Ma
tlonal Training School for Boys.
He said schools like this can
not do the whole job-they need
the helping hand of the Spon-
sor.

But whether this represents q

At the annual meeting Of
Remington Rand stockholders
last July. Lewis D. Gilbert, q
stakeholder, asked why the gen.
eral did not hold any stock in
the company. Mr.. Gilbert served
in the Pacific during World War

Gen. Macarthur replied that
the corporations bylaws specify
company directors do not need to
hold stock. He said his invest
ments were in Government bonds
and he added:
"As to what do with funds
I may acquire, 1t is neither your
business, Mr.. Gilbert, nor anyone
else's."
Mr.. Gilbert said he would in
troduce a resolution a year hence
requiring each director to hold at
least 100 shares. Then he voted
against the reelection of Gen.
Macarthur to his $45, ZOO a year

that electric treatments in

GETS COLLEGE DEGREE

The great silvery Presidential
plane, Columbine, was set down
at exactly 1915 o'clock on Monday
as an air of expectancy hung over
the crowd at the Dover Air Force
Base assembled to greet the Pres
ident of the United States. First
to greet the President was Col.
Paul A. hartman, commander Of
the base, and Gov. ]. Caleb Boggs
welcomed him to Delaware. The
President was accompanied on the
plane by large group which in
cluded Senator John ]. Williams
and Senator j. Allen Frear, and
Congressman Herbert B. Warbur-
ton; also Governor Theodore r.
McKeldin, of Maryland and sever
al Maryland senators and repre-
sentatives. Major General How
ard Nc. c. Snyder, personal ply
sician to the President, and other
officials comprised the group. The
President and his party were es-
corted through an honor guard
composed of a double row of air.
men from the base, and he was
then introduced to Republican Of
ficials, including Clair ]. Killoran,
state chairman; Mrs. Gordon Will
lis vice chairman; Mrs. e. NJ.
Carpenter II, national committee
woman; Lillian I. Marion, presi-
dent of the Republican Womens
Clubs, and Robert H. Richards, ,Jr.,
national committeeman. Former
United States Senator John G.
Townsend was a colorful figure
among the group, receiving a |
warm welcome himself.
Motors To Chestertown
The President was seated at
once in the car which would take
him to Chestertown, Md, where
he would receive an Honorary
doctor of laws degree at Washing
ton College. The only sound
heard was the barking of COM
mands to the Color Guard. Presi-
dent Eisenhower doffed his hat to
acknowledge the applause from
those seated on an observation |
deck at the building near the land
ing place. A full hour before the
arrival time the seats were filled, |
and the space on the ground re-
served for the press was humming
with the ubiquitous photograph
ers who have come to be part of
such scenes. Those in the press
section were standing under the
wings of the giant plane as the
Presidents party descended the
ramp. The people assembled along
the route of the motorcade had a |
chance to see the President in a |
more intimate way than those at
the base and he seemed relaxed
and appeared to be enjoying his
glimpse of the folks assembled at |
small towns and rural corners.
"Hello Folks" at HartIy
In Hartly he stood up in the car
and saluated the people there, call
ing, Hello Folks" to those wait
ing there to greet him. AS the
motorcade rounded the corner at |
Everett's Corner, where a small
crowd was present, he showed his
infectious grin as he tipped his hat
to the country women there. At
several places the school children
had been given time off to see
their President, an opportunity not
often afforded to children in rural
areas, and one to impress them the
rest of their lives. After receiv-
sng the degree at Washington Col
lege, the President returned to Do
yer by the same route and the
plane took off from the base at
5:45 pm. to return to Washing
ton.
