It is a personal, story,and it concerns something that | happened when he was an under-| graduate at the Unive of Vir-| ginia. | Everyone is familiar with his rec- | ord in business, and everyone is fa- | millar 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 I landed amid the halls of Mr. Jefferson's place of higher learning at Charlottesville, szer-{ I knew many of his friends | and fraternity brotiiers, and’ this story, which one told me, can bei vouched for. | Almost everybody at Wirginia | called him Ed “Stet.” Or simply | People who knew him for | years thought this was his real| name. Stet had the habit at Vir- ginia of going off on hunting expe- ditions. He had a place with a| couple of caretakers on it not too far from the University, and sometimes he would spend his week-ends there. | One day a 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 ! ‘ Some feeling of alarm about. the ;(uture of gold is probably natural lat a-time of international stress, P.

But the (arotnkcr said he hadn’t seen “Mr. Stet.” As a matter of fact, it was MOH-‘ day morning before Stet returned ! 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 *n. He knew Ed hadn’t been there, | and he decided that if Stat had rea- sons for not disclosing his real Quite by chance, some months| |later, this man was driving through | jone of the rural mountain districts| of Virginia.

He never | mentioned it even to his friends, probably because he was shy, and doing good turns probably embar- rassed him. But in light of his most recent act—resigning a position that paid him $100,000a year in order to aid the country at a time when the country needs capable men—it seems permissible to dig back 15 years and relate this incident that occurred during his student days.
