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.

passed away Tuesday night in

in Wednesday's paper as 75. He
