Dewey For Stute's Rights

Albany, N. r.. July 28-(UP)- Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in his cam paign for the presidency will pledge an end to concentration of power in the federal government" 1t was reliably reported today.
 Dewey. a strong believer in states rights, discussed the problem with his running mate, Gov. John W. Bricker. and they were said to have agreed that it is the most important domestic problem facing the coun- try today and that it would "be even more important after the war"
 Tn a speech prior to his nomina- ton, the New York governor said most of us are agreed that there must be a halt to the concentration of power in the national govern ment'' and the states must stop leaning wholly upon the federal government"
 Tn the period ahead the states will be strong" he said. They alone will have survived the war without overburdening debt. They express the vitality and resurgence of q free people. They are untrammeled by the weariness and defeatism that coanes from the repeated fumbling of overcentralized government, which believed that this country was built to saturation in 1892.
 The Republican standard bear CTS advisers said that he would assume the same position during his campaign. The first step to put the party and its national ticket ''on record" will be made when Dewey submits a i5-point domestic pro- gram .o Republican governors at & conference in St. Louis next week.
 Dewey, it was said. believes the federal government must relinquish many of its controls over agricul- ture. His advisers said his attitude was Best expressed in a speech he made in New York City last year.
 Under the stress of war, we have releagned the obvious truth, that no central government can solve at one tAiae ahe problems Of the Indiana corn grower and the New York po- tato grower or fruit grower" he said at that time. No power in Wash tngton can fit into the same pattern the needs of the Colorado rancher and the Virginia tobacco grower. No set of national controls, however, much they may be multiplied, can do anything but hinder total agTi- cultural production
 The governors associates, however emphasized he does not advocate complete surrender of power by the national government to the states, but rather a "decentralization of activity"
 Dewey hopes that the St. Louis governors conference will work out q ae1nite solution to the "area of responsibility between the states and the federal government. Many points of his broad program may require more than the two days peF- plitted by the conference and fl no agreement is reached before ad- touFpmept a subcommittee will be appointed to complete the work,
 The governor completed work on the agenda and will leave later in the day for Pawling, Y. Y, He ex- poets to spend the weekend at his farm and then depart for New York Glly, He will arrive in Pittsburgh Monday morning for R meeting with kepnsylyapia leaders, Illinois lead- CTS VIII meet him at Springfeld August ] before he goes to st. Louis Cor the governors conference.

BOOK SQUABBLE
SEEN NEAR END
By JOHN SELBY
Associated Press Arts Editor

ASSOCldteu freSS ATtS EQltOT
NEW YORK, July 19.-(P-Sev-
eral hundred publishers, authors
and editors hope that tomorrow
will see the end of the tangle over
what books may be sent to soldiers
overseas.
Senator Robert A. Taft, author
Of the controversial Title 5 of the
soldier vote act. which is the basis
Of the debate, will meet army rep
resentatives and others on that
day. They will try to reach a com.
promise that will allow the soldiers
to get the same sort of reading
matter they would have at home.
Right now, the council on books
in wartime, representing U. S. pub
fishers, is afraid that the flow of
books to military men may be
throttled indefinitely. This is be-
cause, as Archibald B. Ogden, ex-
ecutive director of the council,
points out, Title was put through
Congress as a rider on the soldiers
vote Dill. Out dtudlIy is pdII VI
the Hatch-Connolly bill, which is
designed to function indefinitely.
Senator Taft has indicated that
he believes that army is interpret
ing the act too stringently. But the
army. according to Ogden, indi-
Gates that it expect sto tighten up
still more.
The army points out. in letters
to Ogden. to Norman Cousins, of
the Saturday Review of Literature,

and to others that Tile 5 is a GRIM

a book about which somebody sue
cessfully raises question, he may
be fined $1,000 or sent to prison for
year, or he may get both penal
ties.
Critics of Title in the publish

law is subtly worded. Senator Taft

wording of Title 5 says any book
designed or calculated to influ
ence a mans vote must be banned.

that matter the Declaration of In

T axe My Word for 1t
By FRANK COLBY.
Practical English,

@. In English class yesterday we
came across question that baffled
even our teacher. Which verb
should we use in "The United Ma
tions ds-are) fighting?"
A. The general rule Is that If a
group is thought of as a unit, the
verb should be singular, as: The
United States is If the individ-
uals are thought of, the verb should
be plural, as: The United States are
Alabama, Arizona, ETC."
In the case of the United Nations
the group" idea is not predomi-
nate as 1t Is in the case OF the
United States-indeed, the nations
are fighting tooth and toenail to
maintain their individualities, al
belt they have as their common
purpose the defeat Of Germany and
Japan. The established usage is:
The United Nations are 49,.
@. We cannot decide whether
contents, headquarters and where
abouts are to be construed as sin
gular or plural. A ruling, please.
A. In best usage contents is
plural; headquarters is plural, but
occasionally 1t is used In the, sin
gular; whereabouts is singular, as:
His whereabouts is unknown, for
obviously a person cannot be at
more than one place at any given
time.
@. The magazine, in speak,

from 5 to 6 inches long which
usually grows In an upright position
on the branch. The seeds are fiat
and winged and arranged in four or
five parallel rows lengthwise in the
seed box, and they are the color of
highly polished mahogany wood.

established back in the days when
clipper ships were sailing.
Where does our favorite wood
come from? African mahogany is
found on the Ivory Coast, in Nigeria
in West Africa, and on the Gold
Coast. 1t is produced in commercial
quantities only in Cuba and st.
Domingo In the West Indies. On
the American continent the trees
are found from Southern Mexico,
Northern Guatemala and British
Honduras through Central America
to Northern Colombia and Vene-
zuela. Over Is years ago, excellent
trees were discovered on the rivers
which were tributary to the upper
Amazon in Brazil and Peru.
1t is said that the oldest piece of
rough-hewn mahogany is to be seen
in the Cathedral of st. Domingo.
The legend says: This is the first
sign planted in the center of this
field to mark the beginning of this
magnificent temple in the year 1914"
The cathedral was finished in 1850.
In it there Is much carved mahogany
woodwork, exquisitely executed and
wonderfully preserved.
AS wood for shipbuilding, ma
hogany was in demand In St. Do
mingo. Cortez realized it's value and
ordered his ships constructed of it.
Mahogany trees grow in scattered
groups, never in forests. The bark,
leaves and fruit may easily be iden-
tilted from neighboring tropical
trees. In its native habitat, the tree
may reach a height of $50 feet and
diameter of II feet. The average
height Is slightly less, and the clean
trunk may not have sign of limb
for 80 feet.
The bark is grayish-brown and

they knew of course it was he, and they were
not kissing anyone by mistake This brought
slight smile to the young girls lips. But ne
noticed that her face was heavily bruised.
The waxen-pale skin, drawn taut over the
cheekbones, showed marks of heavy brown
and blue - marks of brutality and struggle.
Her lips smiled.
At length the little animal cries that they
stood bit frmer on their legs.
The tramp of feet of the marching men was
now in the distance. The first companies had
already passed through Millikov.
Boris was anxious that his mother should
see the double stripes of his rank on his left
sleeve, and he turned bit sidewise to place
this pride boldly before them. But they paid
no attention to the stripes on his sleeve.
He UNBUrroNED his coat and drew out the
letter from his father in the Caucasus.
Praise the Lord" said his mother when
she saw the handwriting. ''He is well?"
Boris nodded his head.
She placed the letter in the bosom of her
dress Then she breathed in deeply and
walked over to bench in the yard and sat
down. Boris and his sister sat beside her.
There was 50 much to talk about, and yet it
was difficult to begin. The main fact the fact
that they we're alive, needed no words. The
other facts did not seem to matter.
The mother saw that her son had grown
and gained in weight She saw that his clothes
were warm, and that the red muff1er was
around his neck. His eyes we're clear and his
lips ready to smile. The rest was not very
important.
And Boris also looked on his mother and
sister as though they had been resurrected
from the dead. Their pale starved faces did
not matter, nor even the bruises on his sisters
cheeks Soon there would be food for them -
and rest, and above all, the peace of mind that
comes to the inhabitants when the enemy has
left These thoughts went through his mind.
The three sat quietly on an old bench in the
back yard of their home, but not word came
from their lips. They knew what they knew.
There was an enemy. He came. He stayed
over year. He did terrible things Now he
has gone And the soldiers, the good ones, have
returned. There was no need for words.
Boris was little disappointed that the
