Judge Simon Sobeloff of Baltimore was sworn in today as Solicitor General of the United States in a White House ceremony witnessed by President Eisenhower and held in his office. Judge Sobeloff succeeds Philip Perlman, who resigned more than a year ago.

The oath of office was administered by United States Chief Justice Earl Warren. President Eisenhower then shook hands with Judge Sobeloff and said, “it is my privilege to hand you this commission and to welcome you aboard.” Governor Theodore R. McKeldin of Maryland and U.S. Senators John Marshall Butler and Glenn Beall were also present.
