MUNCIE, June 20, (UP)—Indiana veterans of the Civil war rule in enlorful three mile parade here today as the 55th annual state encampment of the (i. A. R. neared its close.

A business session tomorrow for election of officers and selection of i 1934 meeting place will conclude the encampment. United States Senators Frederick Van Nuys and Arthur R. Robinson, Gov. Paul V. McNutt and V. M. Armstrong, state commander of the American Legion, rode in cars at the head of the parade anrl reviewed it from a stand in the business district. Drum corps and bands from Kokomo, Fort Wayne and Hartford City, and a color guard of soldiws from Fort Benjamin Harrison participated. During the morning the veterans held a business session at which the annual address of State Commander JasjM'r N. Callicott, North Vernon, was read. Weakened by a recent illness which kept him confined to a Milwaukee hospital until the start of the encampment last Sunday, the 94-year old commander was unable to deliver the address in person. He nearly collapsed ’luring the first session of the meeting yesterday when he attempted to address his comrades. “My physician told me 1 had lietter settle my affairs remaining in this life and I told him I would rather attend this state encampment than anything else,” he tearfully told the vet-
erans.

CHICAGO, June 20 (UP) Spirited competition for best kinds sent hog prices to a new high price since last October at the Chicago stock yards today.

WASHINGTON, June 20, (IT') — The delicate task of bringing peace to the steel industry was entrusted today to the nation’s first woman cabinet minister, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. Miss Perkins’ task was that of reconciling proposed compromises submitted by the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin W oi-kera and the Iron & Steel Institute. Failing to achieve this by informal conferences, she is expected to recommend to President Roosevelt that he name an arbitration board under provisions of the new labor sattle*
ment bill.
Appointment of an arbitration hoard is certain in any event but th® administration is driving to advance agreement on how$ it shall proceed. The knotty dispute was placed in Miss Perkins’ Itfinds by the president

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 2«i, (UP)—President Roosevelt today re ceived from Y'ale university the honorary degree of doctor of laws in colorful, dignified ceremony in his-
toric Woolsey hall.
The hood, symbolic of the doctorate, was draped around the chief executive’s shoulders by William Lyons Phelps, Lampson professor of Eng lish, as James Roosevelt, eldest son, watched and hundreds applauded. In presenting the degree, Prof. Phelps carried out the witticisms that characterized his introductions of other candidates for honors. “1 have the honor to present for the degree of doctor of laws His Excellency, the President of the United .States," Phelps said. He traced the political career of
Mr. Roosevelt.
“When he was elected president there began an acceleration. Many presidents had congress on their hands but Mr. Roosevelt has oongre.-.; in hi- hands," Phelps added. He concluded by observing drily, "We don’t know what is going to ha(ipen in the n**xt two years but we do know that it wiH.be interesting. “Everyone who comes in contact realizes th*' president is well named. “He has the strength of a Boose velt and the charm of a Franklin.
