Before the White House reno
walton in the early 1950's, mine
detectors tried to find a metal
plaque indicating the cornerstone
location. Only mutterings" were
produced from bits of metal in
several walls. But in the south
west corner where the stone sup
posedly was laid in 1892 the de-
tector emitted full "zingg"
signifying a siZable metal object
perhaps the plaque. The wall,
however, was not entered, and the
questions remain: Does America s
first house have a cornerstone :?
If so, is it a repository of me-
mentos of the capitals early life :?
Some cornerstoneS are merely
solid blocks bearing a date or
other inscription. Typical ones,
however, are followed to hold
items reflecting current customs.
When the building is eventually
raZed the contents form a remin-
der of bygone days.
The practice goes back into dim
history. Fragile earthen pots
placed in royal tombs at the head
of the Persian Gulf may have
been prehistoric prototypes. PIE
cious metals have been unearthhd
in the stones of ancient Baby
lonia, Persia, Assyria and Chald-
aea.
In the past cornestones were
placed usually at corners as sup
ports. Today they may be orna-
ments in the facade or be ;m-
bedded in interior walls or even
in floors.

Cleric Urges
Real Revival
Of Religion

LOS ANGELES, May 18 R.-
"The so-called revival sweeping
America isn't genuine or perma-
nent," Presbyterians were told
last night. Most people seem to
want God as you want a hot
water bottle in the night-to get
you over a temporary discomfort. %
DR.. Charles B. Templeton of
New York, secretary of the Divi-
sion of Evangelism of the Pres
byterian Church in the United
States of America, said at a rally
preceding the church's 167th
general assembly:
Membership in the churches
is increasing more rapidly than
the Nations population and is at
an all-time high. However, there
is also an increase in the national
debt, national taxes anG national
crime.
oddly enough, though there
is q statistical increase in re-
ligious interest, there is also an
increase in the number Of GRIM
inals and the seriousness Of their
offenses.
1.-THE statistical columns reveal
q Nation increasingly Christian.
The news columns reveal a Ma
ton increasingly Pagan.
ANY genuine revival of religion
will have to 60 beyond mere
concern to have God as a con-
venience and come to the point
of dedication to him and to his
world
Dr.. Templeton addressed an
estimated 5000 persons at an
evangelistic rally of a two-day
pre-assembly conference. The
General Assembly itself opens
tomorrow and continues through
next Wednesday. Besides $50

voting delegates, about 5000

Antitrust Charges
Are Denied by RCA

NEW YORK, Mar. 81 R.-
Radio Corp. of America has
filed in Federal Court a de-
NAL of Justice Department
charges that the firm violated
the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The Government filed a civil
antitrust action last November
10, charging RCA achieved and
exercised power not only to con-
troll the introduction to COM
mercial use of new radio and
television developments and
services, but also to exclude po-
tential or actual competitors
from the patent licensing bust
ness.
RCA, moving in its reply for
dismissal of the complaint, said
its licensing policies have been
"a major factor in the spectacle
lar growth of the electronics in
dustry, including the radio-tele-
vision industry, and. the pre-
eminence of the United States
IN that industry"
The reply denied all allega-
tons in the complaint. and
claimed company policies re-
suited in more widespread en-
joyment of radio and television
receivers at lower prices.
RCA denied a charge of pack
age licensing" and said it
grants patent licenses to COM
petitors and others on reason
able and nondiscriminatory
terms and without restrictions. !"
