...Muncie people voluntarily have just contributed some $31,000, an oversubscription of around $3,500, to erect a memorial entitled "Beneficience" in honor of the Balls. This is an expression of love and respect that we have for the Ball family, than which there is no finer in the nation. They are just plain folks, unostentatious, friendly, democratic to the core, representative of the best in American life. In an unusual degree they consider their wealth as a public trust...
...first full month last week, the Steel Strike of 1937, biggest and bloodiest since 1919, entered upon a fresh, perhaps final, phase. From mill gate and picket line the major action shifted rearward to civil courts, State capitals, Congressional committee rooms and the editorial and advertising columns of the nation's press. Temporarily stalemated by martial law in two steel States, both Labor and Capital grasped desperately for the support of Public Opinion. And Public Opinion, without the support of which no major strike is ever won, seemed to be swinging slowly, imponderably to the side of the embattled...

Goaded to action by chesty little James Geddes ("Jimmy") Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville Banner and newly elected president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, the ten leading U.

Associated Press and United Press set up strike desks in Cleveland, each in charge of an editor who gives assignments to his staff on the six-State front, turns their reports over to rewrite men for coordination into major stories going over trunk wires to the nation's newspapers. A.P. estimates 15,000 words out of Cleveland daily...
Most remarkable fact about the 1937 kudos list was the abdication of the nation's four perennial kudos champions. Nicholas Murray Butler, who received his 35th honorary degree last winter from Trujillo University in San Domingo, appeared to be satisfied. Nor were there any degrees in prospect last week for the New York Times's commencement-speaking Editor John Huston Finley (30), Harvard's President-Emeritus Abbott Lawrence Lowell (28), Herbert Hoover (27). In their stead 1937 had produced many a new public face...
