Retired Maritime Head To Be Feted Capt. Bennett M. Dodson, who retired Nov. 1 as superintendent of the Texas Maritime Academy, will be honored at a dinner Wednesday night at Galveston’s Jack Tar Hotel. The appreciation dinner is jointly sponsored by the Galves ton Chamber of Commerce and the Galveston chapter of the Propeller Club of the United States. Texs A&M President Earl Rudder and L. F. Peterson of Fort Worth, president of the Texas A&M University System board of directors, will be the featured speakers. Ralph Anselmi, general man ager of Todd Shipyard at Galves ton, will be master of ceremonies. Captain Dodson established the Texas Maritime Academy in 1962 as a division of the Texas A&M University System. It is one of the six major maritime academies in the nation and the only one on the Gulf Coast. Dodson is succeeded by Rear Admiral James D. Craik, former commander of the Eighth Coast Guard District at New Orleans. Immediately before taking over as TMA superintendent, Captain Dodson retired from the U. S. Navy with 25 years of service. At time of retirement, he was chief of staff of the Service Force with the U. S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor. He had previously served as executive officer of the California Maritime Academy and as head of the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy’s Department of Naut ical Science. He also held similar positions at the Merchant Marine Cadet School and Pennsylvania Maritime Academy. During World War II, he super vised more than 1,000 cadets serving on ships throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans while serving on the staff of the Seventh Fleet Service Force. In combat, Captain Dodson commanded a destroyer and was executive officer of the battleship Iowa, which he later commanded during deactivation. Dodson is co-author of “Mathe matics for Navigators” and the mathematics supplement to the U. S. Naval Academy’s text, “Dutton’s Navigation.” LEFT HIGH AND DRY It’s an embarrassing- situation for the Royal Navy as HMS Repulse rests in a mudbank following launching at Barrow-in-Furness, England. A strong current caught the Polaris submarine as she slid down the ways into Walney Channel and shoved her aground. Tugs failed to move the craft so there’s nothing to do but wait for the next high tide. (AP Wire- photo) United Chest Goal Reached College Station’s United Chest drive surpassed its $22,500 goal Monday, announced Campaign Director Joe Sawyer. Sawyer said tabulations totaled more than $22,600 with numerous solicitation cards still unreturned. Although the goal has been at tained, Sawyer noted the cam paign had previously been ex tended to Saturday, Nov. 11, and expressed hope the cards and any additional contributions would be turned in by then. Sawyer expressed his appreci ation to the individual citizens, businessmen and Texas A&M of ficials for their support in making the 1967 campaign a success. He also praised all United Chest volunteer workers, citing specifically his key assistants, Dr. Jack Coleman, Herb Shaffer, Jack Bradshaw, W. Taylor Riedel and Dr. Luther Jones. Dr. Coleman and Shaffer were associate directors, with Coleman heading the Texas A&M activi ties and Shaffer the off-campus campaign. Bradshaw served as chairman for solicitations among federal agencies and Riedel headed the drive for the public school system. Dr. Jones was the campaign representative for retired persons.
