ant jobs.
Segregation, school aid, well
fare programs, labor laws
are all important, but they are
all part of the most important
of all issues confronting us
today.
For a generation we have
seen the mounting of federal
power in the control of our
national and Individual lives.
Millions of boys and girls get
ting ready to vote have never
known anything but a govern
ment that offered more and
more paternalism as payment
for power. Many people have
applauded that movement to-
ward collectivism as the surest
and easiest way to get things
done for the welfare of the
people, to establish the "wel-
fare-state. What we know as
States Rights has been push
ed further and further into the
background, until now a Sup
RENE Court takes the position
that the mere passage of laws
by the federal Congress auto
matically preempts the states
from authority in those fields.
Constitution of the United
States saying that all power
not specifically given to the
federal government is vested
in the States and the People.
What is often overlooked is
that States Rights" means
more than the sovereignty of
the States. It means the Sover-
eighty of the People. The Fed
eral government cannot abro-
gate state rights without abro-
eating the rights of the people
themselves. And we must
never forget that, under our
Constitution (Thank GodD it
is the people who are sover-
eign, not the federal govern
ment nor even the Supreme
Court.
This writer is Jeffersonian
Democrat who longs for the
day when Jeffersonian prin-
ciples may again be recognized
by political parties. He is not
a member of either party, but
he halls the trend shown by
the President in keeping the
federal government out of
labor disputes, thereby en-
cOuraging management and
labor to settle their differences
by bargaining rather than sub
mission to governmental dicta-
tOrship.
There are many considera-
tionS which concern men dur
ing this pre-electiOn period.
But, make no mistake about
it, the most vital of them is
the issue Of States Rights VS..
Federal Ownership and Con-
troll. The trend shown by the
President in limiting federal
government instead Of in
creasing its scope in using fed
eral power to settle more and
more questions, is a healthy
trend. 1t must not be turned
back-Dr. A. P. Haake.

when a Puerto Rican terrorist
group wounded four members of
Congress.
1t was pointed out that with
good behavior such convicted
persons may see their prison
sentences reduced by as much as
one-third, making the penalties
still more inadequate. After con-
sidering the gravity of such
effenses, the law was amended
to provide uniform penalties in

Merchant Marine Academy
Earlier this year, Congress en-
acted legislation authorizing the
Secretary of Commerce to main
tain the Merchant Marine Aca-
denny at Kings Point, New York
to prepare men to serve as Of
ficers in our Merchant Marine.
The law also provides for the
nomination of candidates by
members of Congress. The final
selection Of young men to be
trained at the Academy will be
made as a result of nationwide
competitive examinations. The
class to enter the Academy next
August will have IA cadets rep

Commission in GAINESVILLE and

The Merchant Marine Aca-
denny offers a four-year college

Replacing Discharge Papers
/ have received inquiries from
former servicemen and their
families asking about obtaining
copies Of misplaced or destroyed
discharge certificates. In these
letters there is often some con-
fusion about when 4 charge is
made for replacing the papers.
Under former regulations, the
Defense Department would fur
niSh free Of charge one copy of
q certificate of service to a vet
eran or his next of kin or rep
resentative. A charge of $1.50
was made for additional copies.
Under legislation enacted this
year, charges for this service
have been eliminated since it was
determined that it would not
result in increased costs to the
Department Of Defense.

Reports On Funds

The Madison County Unit of the

drive for funds during the month
of April, have released the figures
for their expenditures of funds re-
ceived during the year 1855.
The report shows that one-half
of the funds received go to the ma

staying in the county for direct di-
agnosis, treatment and office OPP

Elsewhere in today's issue, we
publish a story telling of 26 need
less deaths in Madison County due

will be saved from cancer this
