Quit Asking Federal Aid, Stevenson Asks States SPRINGFIELD, 111.1 Demo cratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson called on the 48 states Thursday to give such good gov ernment to their people that they will halt the "tidal wave" of cen tralized power sweeping toward Washington. In the first major speech since his nomination, Stevenson warned this drift will go on unless the states "perform those necessary functions of government which don't have to be performed in Washington." Then he said: "The people will demand the services and if they don't get them at home they will turn to Uncle Sam . . . And the states are the dikes which we can build more strongly against the flood waters sweeping toward the District of Columbia."

Tariff Boost Refused On Imported Watches WASHINGTON 11 President Truman refused Thursday to in crease the tariff on imported watch es as proposed by the Tariff Com mission. The President said he was unable to agree with the commission "that our domestic watch industry has been seriously injured, or that there is a threat of serious in jury." The domestic watch industry has long sought a duty hike because of large imports of watches, watch movemements,' parts and cases from Switzerland. During long man?uvering over the question, Switzerland has made it plain it would increase duties on its imports of U.S. products if the American duty on watches was boosted. Tobacco products are a big item in Swss purchases from the U.S. CORRECTION The age of Guy Clark, who passed away Tuesday night in Roseburg, was incorrectly listed in Wednesday's paper as 75.
