What President Hotchkiss had read was the routine account of a transfer tax appraisal of the estate of Mrs. William B. Cogswell, widow of a rich Rensselaer alumnus who pioneered the Belgian Solvay chemical processes (soda products, coke) in the U. S., helped form giant Allied Chemical & Dye Corp. in 1920. Mr. Cogswell died in 1921, his wife last year in Manhattan. To her sisters, the middle-aged Misses Elizabeth and Florence Browning of Washington's Mayflower Hotel, the appraisal revealed that Mrs. Cogswell left a net estate of $4,266,548, plus two trust funds, each consisting...

At Struthers, Ohio, while Monsignor O'Toole and Father Hensler looked approvingly on, Father Rice stood in the rain, harangued encouragement at strikers of Youngstown Sheet & Tube's coke plant. Ohio priests who had kept mum on or disapproved the C.I.O. were discomfited to learn that once more the Radical Alliance had the approval of higher church authorities, obtaining permission to invade the diocese from Bishop Joseph Schrembs of Cleveland. Back in Pittsburgh last week, Fathers Rice and Hensler...
