 Rousseau praised France, its unity and it's love of peace, and that that he believed he spoke for Amer ican people in saying that Ameri- cans admired France and held af- lection for its people. He said he believed American sympathy would be with France in any war.
 Premier Daladier and Ambassador Bullitt were speakers yesterday at the dedication of an American Le- zion vault at Beuilly cemetery.
 France Asks Nothing
 France asked nothing, Daladier said, but to be left to live in peace and friendship with all men, and to cooperate for the common good.
 But like all free naions France can not allow what appears more precious than life itself to be in danger" he continued. France is a country of human dignity and of heroism. That is why any attempt at hegemonic domination will find her determined to defend her own liberties and the worlds liberties.
 TO Americans as to all the great peoples of the western world, &C., ceptance of war is less horrible al- formative than acceptance of en- slavement," Bullitt said. 'The treaties Germany in the World War imposed on Russia and Rumania are, sufficient to convince any man that If these soldiers had not fought as they did and if the war had not been won by the side which did win it the condition of man. kind would have been far worse than it is today"

administration of state law by viz orous one-man dissents in two cases involving validity of Florida statutes. Because state laws "are continually subjected to constitutional attacks by those who do not wish to obey them. Black said, "it becomes in- creasingly important to protect state governments from needless expen- sive burdens and suspensions of their laws incident to federal court injunctions issued on allegations that show no right to relief"
 Authority of state to enact what ever regulations they may choose for traffic in alcoholic beverages again was defended when the court upheld validity of Missouri and Indiana statutes imposing discriminatory of liquors from states which themselves have laws discriminating against out-of-state liquors.
 In the field of taxation, in addi- tion to setting aside the doctrine of reciprocal immunity, the tribunal upheld imposition of California's use tax" on materials used within the state by the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Pacific Telephane and Telegraph Company, although both companies contended the ex- action was illegal because they were obviously engaged directly in inter- state commerce. But at the same time the tribunal ruled that Wash ington could not impose its "busi- ness activities" tax on gross receipts of Gwin, White & Prince, Inc, a fruit-selling cooperative or ganiza- tion selling fruit outside the state on behalf of orchardists, because such an imposition would be an H. legal interference with interstate commerce.
 Tobacco Act Upheld
 In important rulings affecting other fields, the court also:
 Upheld constitutionality of the Federal tobacco inspection act, pro- viding for inspection and grading by government agents of tobacco sold on certain designated markets.
 2-Held that refusal of the Uni versity of Missouri to admit Lloyd L. Gaines, St. Louis Negro, to its law school violated the constitutions equal protection clause, since there was no Negro law school in the state which Haines might attend.
 3-Ruled that the Federal fire arms registration act is valid.
 4-Affirmed an antitrust decree won by the government in lower courts for bidding two large Texas motion picture theater chains from conspiring with film distributors to ban showing of certain classes of films on double feature programs and fixing minimum ticket prices for those classes of films.
 5-Held "so vague" as to be un- constitutional the New Jersey sta- ute providing punishment for any person arrested as a "gangster," and defining a gangster as: "any person not engaged in any lawful occupa- tion, known to be member of a gang of two or more persons, who has been convicted at least three times of being a disorderly person or who has been convicted of any crime in this or any other state."

 The task of raising the flooded submarine and the 26 dead of her crew became increasingly more dif- ficult because of weather condi- tions, and some naval authorities be- lieved it might not be completed be- fore late in the summer. In view of the delay, the navy was beginning an official investigation of the mis- hap without waiting for the Squaius to be brought up and examined. As the first step in the investigation written reports were taken from the 8 survivors of the crew and from civilians employed in the navy yard here.
 Memorial Services
 Six Portsmouth churches held memorial services for the 26 dead yesetrday and at the Second Metho- dist Episcopal church in Kittery, the Rev. Frederick Olsen said in his sermon:
 "The blame for such disasters can be placed squarely on the shoulders of war-makers such as Hitler and Mussolini."
