Personnel

News last week were the following changes:

George Poindexter Bagby, vice president of Western Maryland Railway Co., acting president since the murder of Chairman-President Maxwell Cunningham Byers (TIME. Oct. 6), was elected president of the road. The position of chair-man remains vacant. At the same directors' meeting, a substantial pension to be used in the education of Mr. Byers' five sons was voted.

Mrs. John Thompson Dorrance was chosen to be a director of Campbell Soup Co., filling one position left vacant by the recent death of her husband (TIME, Oct. 13). Chairman of the Board will be her brother-in-law, Dr. George Morris Dorrance.

Elected to fill the late Dr. Dorrance's place on the directorship of Pennsylvania Railroad was Thomas Sovereign Gates who recently resigned his partnership in J. P. Morgan & Co. to become president of University of Pennsylvania.

Columbus Haile, 70, with Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Co. for 41 years, resigned from the presidency of the line, a position held since 1926. Chair-man Michael Harrison Cahill succeeds him.

Charles Albert Wight, 31, graduated from Yale in 1922, became vice president of Bankers Trust Co. Young Banker Wight became President of Central Farmers Trust Co. in Palm Beach when he was 28, two years later was made vice president of Farmers Loan & Trust Co., Manhattan. When this bank merged with National City he was made a vice president on the National City Staff, a position which he recently resigned. His rise compares with that of Robert Livingston Clarkson, who became president of Albert Henry Wiggin's Chase National at the age ot 34 and who is now, aged 38, vice chair-man of Chase, "world's biggest bank."
