Following is the tert of the
eulogy deliDered by Senator
Bricker. Republican, of Ohio at
memorial SerDiceS for his late
colleague. Senator Taft, in the
Capitol rotuldG today:
The heart of our Nation is
heavy today. Its head is bowed.
A grateful people are sad
dened by the death of their
faithful servant, Robert A.
Taft. In the words of Edwin
Markham:
And when he fell in whirlwind, he
AS when a kingly cedar-green with
Goes do%n SSgsns With a great shout upon
the hills ~
And leaves aSs a, : lonesome space against
In him were personified the
nobleSt attributes of the Re-
public-reverence of God and
love Of liberty.
He was my closest political
friend. Countless others could
call him such. He gathered
to himself loyal friends in
every walk of life.
Humble in victory, without
rancor in defeat, he travelled
far along life's road to great
achievement. Service to others
is the toll we pay as we travel
life's highway. For every mile
along his way he paid in de-
voted service to his fellowman.
There are many roads in
life which one may follow,
Some lead to quicksands of
tyranny, and some to free
dom. Some roads lead to in
dividual despair and others to
happiness. Many roads lead to
destinations unknown. SEN
ator Taft was always ready to
use his legislative influence to
erect a helpful sign for the
benefit of his fellow-citizens
travelling along life's highways
and by-wayS. He never heSi-
tated to recommend the CO.
ercion of law to prevent the
stronger travellers from i'm
peding the progress of the
weak. He used his voice and
his vote to help those stranded
in the march of life through
no fault of their own. His
consistent political creed, how
ever, was that the power of
government should not be used
to make the individual march
on any particular road. Bob
Taft left that choice to the in
dividual just as it was left to
him and to us by our fore
bears.

wearing.
ReScuerS Pick Up Four.
Alert work by rescue crews,
scanning the waters in pre-dawn
half light Sunday, saved Mrs.
Ogletree's son Lester, IA. and
three others, Russell E. Todd,
1851 North Twenty-Second street,
Arlington: James Dovel, q, of
1903 Madison street NV. and
George De West, 54, of 148 Elev-
enth street NV.
The party had left Colonial
Beach about 4 pm. Saturday in
the outboard motorboat owned
by Mr.. Todd, having gone there
earlier in the day from Mr..
Todd's cottage at Palmers, st.
Marys County, Md.
About two miles from the
Maryland side the boat began
shipping water, and the party
steered for cluster of fish-net
stakes. Twenty feet from the
stakes the boat was swamped.
All but Mr.. DeWeSt, who clung
to the partly submerged boat,
made it to the stakes and hung
on. But after a short time Mrs.
Ogletree decided to make for
shore in the hope of attracting
help before dark.
For the others, it was a long,
cherries vigil. 1t was not until
shortly before 5 am. that Zed-
die Mears, a boat captain on the
river with fishing party, heard
faint cries for help.
Strength Nearly Slapped.
He found young Ogletree and
Mr.. Dovel hanging feebly to the
stakes, their strength all but
sapped. Taking them aboard.
he rushed them to Colonial
Beach for f1rst-aid treatment for
cuts, bruises and exhaustion.
In time it became known there
were others missing. Capt.
George P. Lee of the Colonial
Beach rescue squad flashed word
to the Dahlgren Proving Ground
station, which sent out two naval
crash boats, a Coast Guard vessel
and a small f1otilla of fishing
boats.
Mr.. DeWeSt, though only a
short distance from the two
rescued first, had been unable
to make his weak cries heard
He was picked off the sWamped
craft.
A short time later a fishing
boat ran across Mr.. Todd, float
ing a life Jacket ABOUT 2UO yardS
off the Maryland shore near
Morgantown. He was still
conscious, feebly trying to make
shore after an all-night struggle
against the elements.
He was rescued by four men
from Frederick, Md; Paul r.
Staley, Charles T. Staley and
Harold M. Staley and Jesse
Palmer.
The accident climaxed a week
end of boating which began with
the Ogletrees and Mr.. DeWest
leaving Palmers Saturday morn
ing and arriving at Cobbs Island
about noon.
There they tied up their boat
and joined Mr.. Todd and Mr..
Dovel in the formers outboard
for a trip to Colonial Beach. It
was on the return trip that they
ran into the rough water and
tragedy.

Bncker's EuIogy of Taft

realize. He believed in the
most freedom possible for the
individual consistent with or
derly society. In the cataclysm
of two world wars, individual
freedom threatened to become
submerged in the power of
Government. But through it
all, Senator Taft staunchly
kept the faith that was his.
He knew that finally the prin-
ciple of human liberty must
prevail.
Fought Tyranny
Over Mems Minds
Like Thomas Jefferson he
waged an unrelenting war on
all forms of tyranny over the
minds of men. He championed
unpopular causes and es-
poused unorthodox views re-
gardless of political conse-
quences. He insisted on the
same right for others. In
exercising the right of every
American to challenge the
validity of all doctrines and
beliefs, he was nonetheless
aware of profound political
paradox - that some things
are beyond challenge. One
does not challenge the value
of freedom; one does not
question that mankind has
inherent rights; one does not
doubt the value of the Ameri-
can Constitution to secure
those rights; one does not
doubt that those rights are
divinely bestowed. All this is
a matter of political and re-
ligiouS faith, without which
no political leader, whatever
his talents. can be called great
in the American tradition.
The American system is truly
builded upon a spiritual foun-
dation. In Senator Taft's
memory new leaders will arise,
inspired by his devotion, to
carry the torch of true liber-
aliSm toward the final goal.
Senator Robert A. Taft's
whole life was one of deep
convictions, of confidence in
the ultimate victory of right
and Righteousness. When con-
vinced of the rightness of a
cause, he stood firm even if
he stood alone.
Examples of his unfinching
courage could be cited end
lessly. In 1916 a transporta-
ton strike was paralyzing
America. Public sentiment
overwhelmingly favored dras-
tic action. Both the President
and the House of Representa-
tives recommended conscrip-
tion of striking workers. The
Senate seemed likely to follow
suit. It was due primarily to
Senator Taft that this prece-
dent for tyranny was not es-
tabliShed. Though he stood
virtually alone at first, his
action soon received Nation
wide acclaim. This was only
one case out of many juSti-
flying his confidence that the
truth as he saw it would
ultimately prevail.
Senator Taft was a man of
great faith, He had faith in
himself born of a great intel
lect, indefatigable industry and
manifold experiences. He had
faith in his fellowman. That
faith in others led them to put
their trust in him.
He had a great faith in our
kind of government. His life
was dedicated to it's preserva-
ton. His compass was the
Constitution of his country;
his ultimate goal-a better life
for his fellowman. To para
phrase Emerson-Governments
have their development in the
moral identity and character
of men.
This stricken leader had a
great vision of the meaning of
government. 1t was not for
the few, not for the strong, but
for the individual, for the good
of all that Government should
be organized. He believed truly
that all men are created equal.

Repeal Of Home Rule
For University Killed
By Delegates, 72-35
BY a stoff Correspondent of The s,ur

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 13.-The
University of Maryland seemed
assured today of retaining its
hard-won home-rule powers,
granted by the 1852 General As
sembly. over the Governors veto.
The House of Delegates yester-
day voted down a repeater by a
1885 vote, despite an appeal by
Delegate Horace Whitworth. Re-
publican. of Allegany, that the
university should be subject to
the same controls as any other
State agency.
Delegate j. PAUL Marshall, Re-
publican, of Montgomery County,
aided foes of the repeal measure
when he took the floor to an
nounce that, although he had
voted against giving the home
rule powers to the university last
year, he would vote against the
repeater.
Would Give it a Chance.
Lets give the act a chance
to work." he declared, pointing
out that it has been in effect for
only nine months.
House Majority Leader John
C. Logan also threw his influen-
tial voice against the repeater,
I'D like to know where all
these grotesque abuses and fiend-
ish acts supposedly perpetrated
have been," he declared.
Delegate Perry o. Wilkinson,
Democrat, of Prince Georges,
chairman of the House Educa-
ton Committee, which voted
IA to 2 to give the repeater an
unfavorable report, said:

is an institution we can all be
proud Of. How can it be run

added.
Furthermore. he declared. the

them back to the State, as other
departments do.

Exemptions Questioned.
Mr.. Whitworth said cit is time
to regain legislative powers
which are rightfully ours"
why should all purchases
made by the university be
exempted from procedures of
the State purchasing bill? Why
should non-academic employees
be chosen without the State
merit system?" he asked.
He said the Board of Regents
