The son of a rug salesman, Stan- ley says family finances can not stand the strain of a college edu- cation and he fedrs that even if he could get a scholarship he could not earn enough to pay additional expenses, “It’s ‘a gamble,” he says, “but I'm certain my benefactor would| realize on his investment. make good.” Interested in journalism and ra- dio, Stanley, who limps as a result of infantile paralysis in his child- Ihood, edited publications in the iLincoln high schoel in Jersey City, ;N J., from which he was graduat- ied in June, 1936, and did radio an- 'nouncing for high school programs.
