Doug Is Snug in Rugs Of Business ‘Study’
By ANDREW TULLY Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ROWAYTON, Conn., Sept, 12-—Gen. Douglas MacArthur has swapped his suite in Tokyo's Dai Ichi office building for a Tudor castle in 30 green acres in this trim village on Long Island. Sound. The castle is an “executives club” for Remington Rand, Inc. As chairman of the board of Remington Rand, at $100,000 a year, Gen. MacArthur occupies a ground-floor study —there are no offices in the mansion— just off the 50-foot-long reception room. The MacArthur study is a long room, perhaps 40 by 25 feet. in chaste Elizabethan style with a sandstone and walnut fireplace, walnut paneling, and a huge walnut desk against a set of high dormer windows overlooking tne front lawn.

from his suite in the Waldorf Towers in New York. He arrives about 11 a. m. and generally quits about 4. Also on hand is Maj. Gen, Courtney Whitney, Gen. MacArthur's longtime aide and adviser, who has taken what James Rand, president of the corporation, describes as a “temporary job.” The Rowayton hideaway ls something of a company secret. Inquiries in New York about where Gen, MacArthur worked were met with the vague reply that he had an office “in Stamford.” But when a reporter called at the Stamford office he discovered it was merely a mailing address. Further inquiries around Stamford developed information that Remington Rand had a place in Rowayton. But, everybody added, ‘you won't get in. They'll send you packing when you stop at the gate.” This difficulty was solved by not having the
_ cab driver stop at the gate. Instead, he sped on through the gate, past the gatehouse and up to
the entrance of the hig mansion. - Pushing open tMe massive bronze door, the reporter ran into Gen. MacArthur himself, He

was wearing a gray, tweedy, single-breasted suit and smoking a long-stemmed briar pipe. The general, who ordinarily eludes all reporters, was cautiously cordial. Asked if he had adjusted himself to his new job, he replied, “I'm doing fine, sir; I like it fine.” Then he ushered the reporter into his office and introduced hin to Mr. Rand, who was in shirtsleeves. f “Did you come by appointment?’ asked Mr. Rand. “No,” put in Gen. MacArthur swiftly, “he just crashed the gate.” : Mr. Rand explained then that no other reporters had ever been allowed in the place, “We try to keep it strictly private,” he explained. “We want it to be a place where our executives ‘can come and think and do their work without being bothered. = We call their offices studies because that's what we want them to be.” Gen, MacArthur's desk was a model of the perfect executive's---clean of papers, and with a kind of military trimness. The General seemed interested in a ‘“prospectus” he had read that morning, “It said,

Jim,” the Genera! sald to Mr. Rand, “that America now leads in electronics.” Mr, Rand said that was fine, The general left then to' hunt up a copy of the magazine, “Sciéntific American” in another office, and Mr. Rand conducted a tour around the ground floor. In the big, vaulted dining. .room, with its gobelin tapéstries and solid Tudor chairs, the table was set for lunch with heavy crystal and delicate china, The place mats were the plastic kind ‘you buy in dime stores. Off the dining room was a conference chamber — a big room with black marble floors. Mr. Rand sald he didn’t know how many rooms were in the house—‘I've never got around to counting them.” But an executive of the company in New York said there were about 50. Gen. MacArthur's duties as chairman of the board involve the laying down of broad policies
for the company. A spokesman for the com- |
pany--not Mr. Rand—said the general had not vet come up with any sensational ideas, but that he showed “an amazingly broad grasp of the company’s problems.”
