Dewey and Worren Clash
On Toxotion Viewpoint

SALT LAKE CITY, July IS P).-
Before Secretary of State Marshall's
address to the Governors Confer
ence, two prospective rivals for the
Republican presidential nomination
Gov. Earl Warren of California
and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York-expressed clashing viewpoints
on taxation.
Gov. Dewey, presiding at round
table discussion of fiscal policy
advocated a division of sources OF
tax revenues between the Federal
Government and States in order to
eliminate overlapping, duplication
and confusion.
He suggested that the income
taxation be left entirely to the Fed
eral Government and, in return,
that Washington relinquish to the
States exclusive rights to levy So
called nuisance taxes.
Gov. Warren said he believed in
the principle" of deliniation of
fields of taxation but argued it
would not work in practice.
"If the States should abandon
the income and sales taxes" he said,
land in turn receive liquor, luxury,
amusement and gasoline taxes, the
States would be putting themselves
on an insecure basis, since they
would be dependent upon the rise
and fall of income from luxury
items. That would be a dangerous
thing"
He attacked specifically a pro-
posal Endorsed by some Eastern
Governors that the Federal Govern
ment abandon its gasoline tax so
that the States nigh pre-empt that
field.
1t probably would spell the end of
Federal aid for highways, he said,
and injure many Western States,
which receive more in highway aid
than they pay in gasoline taxes.
California is not among them.
Gov. Warren and Cow Dewey
talked privately after the seminar.
They said they did not discuss
politics. 1
Earlier, Gov. Ernest W.. Gibson,
Vermont Republican and World
War II veteran, accused ''the real
estate lobby in Washington" otsex-
erting an extremely .detTiaental"
.infiuenceson the construction ofnew
housing. - a2 %fass 's ssss
He said he hoped the alleged 6bby
will be carefully and thoroughly
Investigated. President rtJman
called for such an investigation by
Congress last month in signing sthe
bill continuing rent control in modi-
fled form until next February 28.
A round table on education was
scheduled today, with Gov. Clarence
w. Meadows of West Virginia pre-
siding.
Gov. Luther w. Youngdahl, Re
publican, of Minnesota also was to
talk on Labor Legislation and Its
Administration" and Gov. J. Strom
Thurmond, Democrat, of South
Carolina, on Adequate National
Preparedness"

By The Associoted Press

EUREKA. Calf, July 15.-Nav,
blimp K-99, caught in a terrific
down draft of air, plunged into the
ocean south of here yesterday, and
after its II occupants had escaped
unhurt, rose again to come finally

of control.
1t was understood that the Navy
expected to salvage the blimp and
recommission it.
The craft struck the water. of

Carl |. Cameron, II,
Pioneer Builder Of
Steam trucks, Dies

Carl L. Cameron, n, co-founder
of the first repair shop for steam
automobiles in Washington and a
pioneer in the building of trucks
powered by steam, died yesterday
at his home, 1923 Charming street
NE.
The repair shop, founded by Mr..
Cameron in 1910 in ASSOCIATION with
Percy Wade, 2709 Fourth street NE,
was the only garage available to the
owners of the so or so steam cars
in Washington during the brief era
when steam propelled vehicles were
popular.
Intensely interested in the devel-
opment of this method of locomo-
ton, Mr.. Cameron and his partner
built four trucks powered by steam.
Purchased by the N. Ault Provision
Co., the Miller Stone Co. and two
other Washington firms, the smoke
belching transports were familiar
sights on the streets before World
War I.
Ran Sunday Excursions.
The partners were also the first
to operate motorized sightseeing
service through Rock Creek Park,
according to Mr. Wade. He said
they ran excursions each Sunday
from the Zoo to the end of the park
and back, using White steam car.
The fare for the trip was 25 cents,
he recalled. He added they also
operated a taxi service from the
Zoo to the streetcar line, charging
10-cent fare.
The partners were also the first
to have "for hire" automobile in
front of Union Station, Mr.. Wade
said. 1t was available to tourists
on an hourly rental basis, he re-
ported. ....
After the steam-car vogue passed,
Mr.. Cameron and his partner aban-
doned the automobile repair busi-
ness and established the welding
company now known as Weldit, Inc,
516 First street NV. Mr.. Wade
said they were among the first in
this area to use the acetylene meth
cd instead of welding by electricity.
A native of Harding county, Ohio,
Mr., Cameron attended school at
Columbus, Ohio A Columbus city
engineer at the age of 81, he later
worked for contracting firm there.
In 1910 he moved to Washington.
He is survived by his widow: q
brother, Paul Cameron, Columbus,
and sister, Mrs. James Perry,
Ridgeway, Ohio.
Masonic funeral services will be
held at 11:30 am. Thursday morn
ing at the Hines funeral home, 290l

Navy Sets Off Old Mine
And SturtIes Cape May
BY the Associated Press

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 15.-A
tremendous blast awakened and
startled residents over an area of
20 miles and brought hundreds of
telephone calls to police and Coast
Guard stations today.
Some said the explosion was
louder than anything heard during
the early war days when mines and
submarines sank tankers of the
Jersey coast.
But the Navy's explanation al
layed fears. The Navy said it had
found mine left over from World
War I, towed it ashore and deto-
mated the mine without incident or
casualties" 1t contained 1900

interprets it.

These reactions are understand.
able. 1t is true that the efforts tt
put European countries back or
their feet have thus far been largely
to meet series of crises and there
fore of somewhat disjointed char
acter. 1t is also true that they have
not accomplished all of the task
which it was hoped they would ac-
complish, though I think they have
been far more beneficial than is
generally realized. The uncertain
ties of the immediate post-hostilities
period were such that no one could
have predicted accurately the course
of developments or devised ade-
quate, co-ordinated approaches te
Europe's problems. An immense
amount has been accomplished by
what this country and others have
already done to help Europe over
come the effects of this war. How
ever, a great part of the problem OF
postwar adjustment in Europe still
awaits solution. No one clearly fore
saw, and no one could have foreseen
the outlines and the magnitude OF
the problem while the smoke OF
battle still hung over the scene.
1t is now possible to calculate
more exactly the needs which must
be. met, and the sources from which
they must be met if this adjust
ment is to be completed. Further
more, the urgent need for a care
fully co-ordinated European effort
is now widely recognized. The
meeting in Paris called at the initi-
ative of the Foreign Ministers OF
France and Great Britain consti-
tutes an auspicious beginning to the
accomplishment of this task. The
representatives of European coun-
tries there assembled deserve to feel
that their work will be followed in
this country with genuine sympa-
thy and goodwill. For we are inM-
.mately concerned with the solution
Country Needs Facts
In Washington we are studying
with the greatest of care the impli-
cations of the various possible solu-

whatever course is adopted will af-

pie in every State of the Union. II
is imperative that the attitude taken
by our Government toward this
problem, as in all great questions Of
foreign affairs, be in intimate ac-
cord with the feeling of the natior
at large. To make up it's mind thi.
country will need facts. One ol
the results of the meeting being
held in Paris and of the studies now
being made by Governors will be tt

facts before them I am confident
of the response of the American
people.
With your help I feel it will b,

calculable stake which this country

PEACE PLAN

Declares Itself Against All Labor Bills Now Pend

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 7-The AFL offered an industrial peace plan of it's own but refused to back any labor bills now pending in Con- gress and mobilized for a show down over them is necessary
 The Is men of the executive Council who run the AFL between yearly conventions concluded their meeting with two important ac- tions.
 They supported a plan proposed in October by the screen actols' guild in an effort to halt Holly woods jurisdictional squabbles be- tween unions. But they went fur ther and will try to persuade the more than 100 national and inter- national unions in the AF'L to apply the peace proposals in their re- spective fields.
 President William Green said each union would be asked 10 try to set up arbitration tribunals which would settle disputes as they arise without need for governmental in tervention.
 The same plan was announced for the building and construction in- dustries last Saturday by President Truman.
 The second major move came Tn adoption of a resolution which was enthusiastically written by John l. Lewis. head of the United Mine Workers, and which said that AFL has opposed and will continue to oppose all legislation, either federal of state, that disturbes, menaces or destroys it's free status that linn it's free collective bargaining; that erects legal barriers to stop eoon- cmic and social progress of al! workers gainfully employed that makes the legislative representa- tives of the people police patrol fer employing and financial inter- ests."
 The government obtained a re- straining order in the recent soft coal strike. but Lewis ignored It and he and the union were fined $3,5lO,000. The miners chief has an appeal pending in the Supreme Court. The coal strika was called of until March 3l.
