stead OF increasing local govern
ment subsidies, they should repeal
such taxes as viii best open fields
of revenue for local governments.
Calls for Balanced Budget.
"The Federal Government should
balance its budget at the earliest
possible date. That would give
more jobs than all the made work
the Government could possibly plan.
Gov. Holland strongly supported
the Clark GI Bill of Rights for
veterans of the war. This bill,
which has passed both Senate and
House and is now In conference,
concentrates all veterans affairs In
one agency, the Veterans Admins
tration, including disqualification,
rehabilitation, schooling and re-
employment.
There has been too much sepa-
ration Of functions relating to
veterans affairs, among too many
Government agencies" Gov. Hol-
land said He declared that Con-
gress is intensely interested In
setting up an effective agency to
take care Of the veterans. There
must, he said, be financial aid to
the returning veterans, many Of
whom will need it when they reach
home.
The Skates, the Governor added,
must play large part in the aid
and readjustment Of the veterans.
Not to do SO would mean yielding
still further powers to the Federal
Government. The States must CO.
operate with the National Govern
ment, but they also have fields in
which the States can and will act
alone.
The Governors conference will

NEW YORK, May 81 R.-The

day for the first time that Biak Is
land, in the Sciioutens group north
west Of New Guinea, had been in
Faded by United States forces and
that severe lighting is now in prog
tess."e sf
! The announcement was contained
IN Tokyo radio broadcast, beamed
IN English to North America. It was
recorded by United States Govern
inent monitors.
"On Saturday morning, powerful
enemy force landed on Biak Island,
northwest Of New Guinea" the
broadcast quoted imperial headquar-
ters as saying. "Our garrison on the
island and our air force in the vicin-

erty and taken it out OF the field
Of local taxation.
The next threat to State and To-
cal governments, he continued, has
been the recent expansion of Fed
eral subsidies. In 1882, he said, Fed
eral subsidies to States amounted
to $217,0O0,0O0. BY 194l this total
had increased to $744,000,0OO and
the Federal Government also was
passing out ss5,0O0.o0o in subsidies
to local governments.
In 1882, Of all taxes collected in
the country, the Federal Govern
ment's portion was "a per cent. In
1899, this had risen to SO per cent
and since the country entered the
war, the increases in the Federal
Governments portion Of taxes has
been enormous.
Continuing his discussion of the
subsidy peril, Gov. Bricker said I'VE
must realize the implications and
results Of this trend. State and
local governments become q sham
and a pretense If they cannot sup
port themselves and must go to
another government for handouts" !"
The Ohio Governor made series
of recommendations to meet these
trends.
First" he said, "it is essential
that the strictest economy in Gov
ernment be practiced.
Second, the States working to-
gether, the local governments work.

Bricker Urges States
To Recover Their
Fiscal independence
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
star Staff Correspondent

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 81
Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio,
challenger Of the Dewey jugger-
naut for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, took the
spotlight last night at the Gov
ernors' conference.
The ohio Governor spoke at a
meeting in the forum of the Educa-
ton Building on TAX and Fiscal
Policies" His speech was carefully
prepared and well delivered and re-
ceived by ths 6ther Governors. Gov.
Spessard L.s Holland of Florida, the
other speaker of the meeting, dealt
with Veterans Affairs"
Make no mistake about It," said
Gov. Bricker, "the most effective
way to abolish the independence of
State and LEGAL governments, and
with it home rule in America, is by
taking away their financial inde-
pendence.
He pointed out that the central
ization Of more and more of the
taxing power in the Federal Gov
ernment has gone hand-in- -hand
with an increase of Federal sub
sides to State and local govern
mentS.
Four Governors Speak.
Concluding q four-day session.
the conference today heard four
Governors discuss state and ma
tional problems. Postwar military
policy was the subject of Gov.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper Of Iowa.
Gov. Earl Smell of Oregon spoke on
Conservation OF Our Timber" Gov.
John G. Vivian of Colorado on "Ef-
fective Use of Our Water" and Gov.
Dwight A. Green of Illinois on a
Constructive Food Program for
Victory"
Gov. Hickenlooper pointed out
that American postwar military pol
icy must be sufficiently sound and
substantial to meet our require
ments" and at the same time it must
avoid a program Of colossal cost"
The Iowa Governor approved Of
a policy of universal military train
ing only in the event it becomes
necessary for national security, de-
pending on the kind Of peace that
is made.
He urged that ample naval force
ito protect our interests and COM
mitments" be retained.
Names Basic Objectives.
Gov. Bricker in his address last
night said that in considering fiscal
policies he was guided by two basic
objeetives.
"The FIRST" he said, "is the pres
