new Bluffton college gymnasium
auditorium next Sunday afternoon
started some of the oldtimers rem
iniscing about another day almost
% years ago when another corner
stone was laid.
1t was in June 1900-one of those
warm days of early summer-al-
most hot-when the crowd gathered
to see the laying of the cornerstone
of the first building-now venerable
ivy-covered College hall. Those
from around Pandora drove over by
horse and buggy-but for the most
part the crowd came on foot =
pretty much a matter of curiosity
-. Bluffton was far from being
college conscious in those days OF
the oil boom when all hands worked
from dawn to dark bringing in new
wells-and roistered over the week
ends j. S. there wasn't a trace OF
academic atmosphere in evidence
no caps and gowns or other col
leglate insignia George Upton
had the band out for the occasion
and the boys marched down dusty
Blanchard avenue-it's now black
topped College avenue-out to Eat
on's woods just to lend color to the
affair julie Benroth driving
Frank Scott's automobile, the first
one in Bluffton, was running a taxi
from town to the scene of the cor
nerstone laying and for dime you
could get the thrill of an auto ride
which to those who had the dime
was probably more of an event than
the cornerstone laying :. and Bish-
op Moser, aged patriarch of the
Mennonite church who kneeling and
with his hands on the cornerstone
offered the dedicatory prayer-won-
der if he could glimpse the future
and youthful President Hirschy,
one of those captains courageous
who dared sail uncharted seas in
that adventure of faith i. so they
laid the cornerstone out in Eaton's
woods and the crowd went home
and soon it was all but forgotten
in the warp and woof of
daily affairs but the spark kindled
by that small beginning, burning fit
fully-and more than once near ex-
tinction in those early days-has
become a beacon on a hilltop beck
oning on to better and fuller life
for generations to come.

Rx the Akxociotsd Press

STRATFORD. Conn.,. Aug. 81
Republican State Chairman Clar-
ence F. Baldwin charged here last
night that Federal taxes collected
in Connecticut were being used to
help Truman States" compete
with Connecticut industry.
Mr.. Baldwin. in speech before
the Young Republican Club, as
sterted that President Truman
was using this method of reward
ing States which voted for him in
194S. He declared also that the
fiscal policies of Gov. Chester
Bowles were an almost equal
threat to the States industries.
Says He Has Evidence.
The Republican leader said
Can 1t be that President Tru-
mans plan includes a reward for
the Southern and Southwestern
States which delivered his votes,
and retribution for the States
which voted against him. I say
that it is, and that the evidence is
sufficient proof"
Citing the case Of one State
which he said, was trying to lure
a Connecticut industry with offers
of tax exemptions for 10 years, Mr.
Baldwin said that it was "signifi-
cant that this community offering
tax freedom is requesting Fed
eral assistance for school build
ing"
Makes Attack on B0wles.
Mr.. Baldwin declared that ac-
tions such as this indicated that
the Federal government expected
Connecticut to contribute her

Steel Facf-Finders
Abandon Mediation;
Work on Report
By The lssoeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Presi-
Dental fact finders went to work
today to shape their recommended
tions for preventing a National
steel strike. They have abandoned
q mediation plan.
The three-man board yesterday
withdrew it's offer to serve as med
iator in the dispute after in
dustry leaders insisted the nego-
tiations would have to be on an
individual company basis.
This, said Carroll Daugherty,
board chairman, would be "physi-
cally impossible" ="
He said the board would begin
Immediately the job of weighing
evidence and drawing up propos-
ais for a settlement between the
companies and the C1O United
Steel Workers.
Report Due Sept. 10.
These recommendations. which
won't be binding on either side,
are due in President Truman's
hands by. September 10.
That will leave the disputants
three days to try to get together
on the basis of the recommends
tions-before the steelworkers
September IA strike deadline.
In 18 days of hearings the
board has gathered $3.50 pages OF
exhibits and testimony from the
union and the industry.
The steelworkers have demand
ed a 121z-cent hourly wage in
crease, plus pension and insur-
ance benefits.
The union says the entire
package" will amount to 80 cents
hourly per worker, while the COM
panies maintain it would cost
them 40 to 721s cents per hour.
Terms Called Impossible.
In calling off the boards me-
diation offer. Mr.. Daugherty said
In a long meeting last night
the industry representatives de-
cided they did not want industry
wide mediation. They so Informed
the board today. They suggested
individual mediation.
This would have required us to
mediate in some 80 different situa-
tions. The board has therefore
come to the conclusion that such a
task would be physically impos-
sible and has accordingly with
drawn its offer to mediate"
The union had not stated its
position on the mediation pro-
posal. Arthur j. Goldberg, union
counsel. refused to say whether
the union planned to accept or
reject it.
Philip Murray, president of both
the steelworkers and the CIO, said
he had no comment on the atti-
tude of the steel companies.
The board yesterday turned
down an industry request that the
board seek to persuade the union
to delay its strike date. Mr.
Daugherty said such a request
was not in the boards jurisdiction.
