Cornerstone for u. n.
Ready, Awaits Truman
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The COR
nerstone for the new United Ma
tions headquarters going up on
Manhattan's East Side is ready
to lay-except for one thing. It
doesn't carry a date.
The date to be carved on the
stone is up to President Truman.
Mr.. Truman is booked to lay
the cornerstone at dedication cere-
monies. So far, U. N. officials
haven't been able TO get together
with the President on a date for
the event.
And since the stone must bear
the date corresponding with time
of the dedication, builders don't
know whether to carve the year
1949 or 1850 on the stone.
Originally, the ceremony was set
for April 10. 1949. Mr.. Truman
said he couldn't make it.
