Salisbury Rotary
Assured That
States Are Alert

Sounding a trenchant warning
against usurpation of States Rights
by the Federal Government, Cover
nor Herbert R. O'Conor told MEM
bers of the Rotary and other civic
clubs of the Salisbury area that:
Happily there is current in the
land. among State officials In high
Office, full recognition of the tremen-
dous issues involved, full apprecia-
ton of the dangers that impend un-
less this trend to Capitalization is
checked and the tide reversed.
much prominence was devoted in
the press very recently to resolutions
advocating strengthened State SOW
ereignty adopted by a group of Gov
ernors meeting with Governor Dew
ey, representing roughly one-half of
the 48 States. Attempts have been
made to show that this group origl-
mated the idea that the Federal Gov
eminent is usurping State authority
and ignoring State responsibility.
However, the detectives enunciated
by this Governor group had pre-
viously, and but few weeks before,
been stated just as strongly in reso-
buttons adopted by all the Governors
of the Country meeting in national
assembly, a meeting in which l was
privileged to participate. The present
fight began several years ago when
we resisted Federal attempts to fed
eralize Unemployment Compensation.
1.-The fact is that this tendency to-
wards Capitalization is not of recent
origin, and is not confined to any po-
litical party. Both parties, when they
have been in power, have yielded to
the urge to take over duties and pre-
negatives of the States. Our own
great Governor Richie fought the
battle of State sovereignty for years
against the party then in power, to
which Governor Dewey and his con-
feres now owe allegiance. OF late
years there have arisen staunch
champions of the States, such as Gov.
Broughton, of North Carolina; for
mer Governor Frank Dixon, of Ala
bama; and the present Chairman OF
the National Governors Conference,
Governor Nav of Utah, not affiliated
as are the members of the group
meeting recently.
1.-The resolutions put forward by
the Governors meeting with Cover
nor Dewey were almost identical
with resolutions adopted by all the
Governors of the States at the Her.
shey Conference in May. For instance
they asked that the States retain
their hold on Unemployment Com
pensation and that Employment Ser
vice be returned. Both of these reso-
buttons were adopted at Hershey as
recommended in my address that
time"

Bluffton Highs record of consecu-
five victories and the towns hopes
for another tournament championship
came to the end of the road last
Friday night when Lima st. johns
bested the Pirates by score OF 40
tn 80 in the Celina Class b tourna-

Rluffton team ran its consecutive
win streak to Is games in a row
by spilling Delphos st. Johns, Ok to

Bluffton walloped the Johnnies, 81

team has scored less than 90 points.
In tournament play the Pirates
keenly felt the loss of Center Fred
Hermann, who left two weeks ago
for induction into the army.
Against the Delphos outfit, Bluff
ton led all the way after the first
two minutes and at one time held a
43 to % advantage.
Coach Russell Hasson's crew had a
first quarter lead of Ia to 6 and
were out in front at halftime, 2S to
22. During the third quarter they
struck 15-point scoring stride to
be out in front, 43 to 29, at the
start of the last period.
Warden Loganbill who had been
shifted to center, led Buttons scor-
ing with % points. Neil Schmidt
got II and Bob Burkholder eight.
The tilt with the Lima outfit which
had won 13 games in row was q
bitterly waged contest in which the
Pirates remained in the running un-
til late in the fourth quarter despite
the fact they were woefully off.

During the first quarter the score
was tied twice but the Pirates never
were in a position to gain the leac
at any time, and st. Johns led go
ing into the second period, Is to II
Bluffton then held the Lima team
to three points during that quarter

The third quarter started with {
