Optimist Concerning America.
II believe that an institution such
as this will contribute more in the
long run to the welfare OF this great
Nation of ours than any other thing
that Is in this country at this time.
You know I am an optimist so far
as the United States Of America is
concerned. I think 1t is the greatest
country that the sun has ever shown
upon, and I think 1t is facing the
greatest age In its history. And I
think that Is due to the fact that
the country is going to be In the
hands Of the young people here
before me today who are going to
carry on in the tradition of the
great man who was as true as when
he became President Of the United
States, the man who helped to in

does.
/. I think this country is great on
account Of its small educational in
stitutions. more than anything else.
You know James A. Garfield said
that his idea of a college was a
bench in a log house with himself
on one end of that bench and Mark
Hopkins on the other, and his idea
on that was that Mark Hopkins was
famous as an educator because he
was an individual educator. .
In institutions such as this, the
teachers and the professors can
give individual attention to each
member Of each class. AS you were
receiving your diplomas, I listened
to DR.. Mead and he had a special
salutation for each and every one
Of you.
Now I would like for the president
Of Harvard, of Yale, of Columbia
or Princeton to have that individual
touch that your president had here
today. That Is what young men
and young women need when they
are getting an education. They
want some one whom they can trust,
and they want some one in whom
they can have confidence, to whom
they can take their problems and
have them solved.

This looks to me as if 1t is a
wonderful class. When the roll was
called thought I was in jackson
County, Mo-, the names are exactly
the same.
That is true all over the United
States in these small educational
institutions. You know, I am rather
an advocate Of small business, and
small educational institutions, and

time and again that I would much

to me today by this venerable in
stitution-and 1t is a venerable in
stitution according to our standards
in this Western Hemisphere-is one
that I'll treasure all the rest Of my
life.
This college has wonderful back
ground and history. I listened to
President Mead a while ago as he
discussed that background and his
tory. One of the things I like about
this college is that it is a small
college in q rural community.
I was born in small town. I was

me on that in Independence

years Of my life operating $40

This is a wonderful institution on
account of its connection with the

1t was my privilege the other night
to be present at the graduation of
my daughter-at another Wash

Washington was interested, and in
which he had some measure of
helping the founding. In fact, he
directed that the institution be
founded in his will. I understand
that he was a trustee of this great
institution when he was made Pres
ident Of the United States. A great
honor. My great predecessor whom
I succeeded at This death was also
an honorary graduate of this great
institution and he liked small col

himself farmer. Although he was

 Bonus toVets

Hartford, June 20-(UP-The Legislative Council debated today whether to recommend special session of the General Assembly to bring the question of payment of a bonus to veterans before the voters as quickly as possible.
 In order to pay a bonus a Consti- tutional amendment would have to be ratified because of an existing Constitutional provision which for bids the use of State funds for such purpose.
 To allow the matter to wait for the regular session next January would mean that @ Constitutional change could not be secured before the 1851 session. Proponents of the bonus contended that if & special session were called before the end Of this year, the way would be paved for passage of a bonus bill before the end of the 1947 session.
 The Council was reported conSid- ering holding public hearing with in the coming few weeks to sound out public reaction to @ bonus.
 Following World War I there was a strong demand for a bonus, but the legislature instead created the soldiers, sailors and marine fund to provide financial aid for needy vet erans and their families. The l944 session voted to divert a portion of the cigaret tax to build up this fund to appro oximately $15 5,OOO, ,O0O.

 Split on Bomb .Jettisoninq

New York, June 2O-(UP)-The United States and Russia split sharply today on the question of whether this country should scrap it's atom bombs before or after establishment of global sanctions against would-be atomic aggressorS.
 The United States has promised to destroy or dispose" of its atom bombs, but only when fool-proof and penalty backed international safeguards against their use by other nations have been instituted.
 Russia, flatly rejecting an Ameri- can plea for elimination of big power veto rights from world atom ic enforcement machinery, yester- day advanced its own atomic cons trol plan. It called, in effect, for destruction of American atom bombs under an international treaty outlawing atomic warfare as a pre- liminary to the kind of safeguards the United States wants.
 The Soviet proposal was sprung without warning on the United Na- tions Atomic Energy Commission at it's second meeting yesterday.
 Although Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko outlined the Russian plan in great detail, he made no mention of the United States or of the proposals presented to the com- mission by U. S. Delegate Bernard M. Baruch.
 Commission members withheld comment on the Soviet plan pend- ing careful study, but five of the 12 member nations-Australia, Can- ada, Great Britain, China and MeXico-yesterday approved the American proposals as a solid foun- dation for the commissions work.
 Core of the Russian proposal, and what Gromyko described as a "primordial" step in banishing the threat of atomic war, is draft treaty binding signatory nations:
 l. Never to use atomic
 weapons.
 2. 9 To prohibit the pro-
 duction or storage of such
 weapons.
 3. To destroy all existing
 atom bombs within 90 days
 after the treaty goes into effect.
 This treaty, Gromyko proposed, should be passed on by the LIN Se- curity Council and then ratified by all nations of the world. It would come into effect after ratification by half the signatory states. includ- ing France. Russia, China, Great Britain and the United States.

 White Collar Test June 26
By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK

The CLOS plan to organize white collar workers in the Nauga- tuck Valley meets its first test next Wednesday when office employees and clerical workers of the Ansonia branch of the American Brass Com pany cast their ballots in an elec- ton directed by the National Labor Relations Board.
 The white collar group will de- eide whether it wishes to be repre- sented by Local 445, International Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, or by no union. Success in the Ansonia election will serve to spur on the Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers in an in- tensive organizational campaign among American Brass Company white collar employees in Waterbury and Torrington.
 To Extend Membership
 Long-range plans also include membership drives in all Naugatuck Valley factories where production and maintenance employees are now represented by the M.MS.W. as bar gaining agent.
 Thomas Cooke, International Rep- resentative. today predicted victory for the union in the Ansonia elec- ton. "The situation looks very good to me" he said.
 The NLRB originally issued a di- rective in March, requiring that the election be held within 30 days. MT. Cooke filed application for delay because of the A.B.C. strike then in progress. Over objections by the company, the NLRB authorized postponement of the election.
 The first NLRB election for white collar workers in the Naugatuck Valley will be held under the so- called Globe Plan. Two groups are eligible to ballot, salaried office workers and hourly-paid clerks and others. There are about 280 eligi- bles in all.
 Globe Plan Outlined
 Under the Globe Plan, the two groups will use the same ballot box but will have different-colored bal lots. A majority in one group will give the union bargaining rights for that group; majority in both groups will make the union the bargaining agents for both groups, which will then be considered as 8 single unit for bargaining purposes. Thus it is possible that the union might be rejected by one group and approved by the other.
 Balloting will begin at g A. M. June 26 and continue until 2 P, M. Election officials will move the bal lot boxes from one assigned place to another during the day, under a pre-arranged schedule.

 Meanwhile, the local meat Situa- ton, grew steadily worse with many neighborhood markets reporting in- ability to obtain the product.
 Local packinghouSes reported no relief in sight. Yesterday one un- identified packing house associate" charged that Federal authorities such as the O.P.A., Internal Rev. enue Office and F.B.I. were ignor- ing the presence of black-markets. C.IO. To Investigate
 Today also the C.I.O. Council through John J. Driscoll, executive secretary, announced that they would conduct a special investigation of the situation here and disclose its findings to the Connecticut O.P.A.
