Dewey Warns Defense
Must Not Be Left
To Bureaucracy
'We Must See to It
That America Does Not
Miss the Bus/ He Says
B> ihe Associated Press.
GREENSBORO, N. C„ June 8 —
; Saying that the task of strengthen
ing America's defenses should not
be "blindly '’ left to our "existing na
tional bureaucracy," Thomas E.
Dewey, candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, urged today
that "we must see to it that America
does not miss the bus."
In an address at a luncheon meet
ing of district Young Republicans,
Mr. Dewey said that "all of us must
be ready to accept, as citizens, some
of the responsibility to see that the
job (of rearming America) is done.”
"In Great Britain,” he continued,
1 “the people complacently relied upon
their government to muddle through.
In France the people left their fate
too long in the hands of a govern
ment that was more concerned with
socialistic experimentation than with
national safety.
“In those two countries the par
liamentary form of government
makes it possible to change a na
tional administration at a moment's
notice. France dismissed the So
cialist Popular Front two years ago.
Even that may have been too late to
preserve the safety of the republic.

their decision in a national election
they must abide by that decision

Preparedness Forced
By Public, Dewey Says
By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, W. Va„ June 8 —
Thomas E. Dewey, discussing the
Government’s defense moves, de
clared last night public opinion had
sidetracked partisan control of Amer
ica's preparedness, but there must
continue a close watch to “hold
the national administration to a
sound course.”
In his first campaign address to
West Virginians, the Republican
presidential aspirant and New York
district attorney said that since the
start of the defense emergency the
administration has demonstrated a
"temperamental inability to follow
a straight road toward a national
goal.”

News, Phelps Advises
By ttie Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. June 8—Regu

Lyon Phelps as an aid toward
longer life.
"The 3 cents invested in a news
paper is one of the greatest aids to
vitality we have," Yales famous
emeritus professor of English de
clared at Jefferson Medical College
commencement exercises.
"The paper provides us with in
terests that will take us out of our

in things beyond ourselves the bet

Dorothy Lamour Wins,
But Loses Long Tresses
By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, June 8—Dorothy
Lamour has won a vacation from
her sarong—but it cost her her long,
coal-black hair.
The actress wept a little as a
studio makeup man snipped off her
locks in response to an'order from
executives that the actress try a
new style of hair-dress. Miss La
mour submitted to the shears only
after being assured she would wear
sports clothes and evening gowns,
but no sarong in her next picture.
Defense
_(Continued Prom First Page.)
mention was made of complete
planes.
During the World War Mr. Ford
turned his great industrial plants
to the mass production of muni
tions, whippet tanks, ambulances
and submarine chasers. Between
1925 and 1929 he manufactured a
number of tri-motor transport
planes.
Although Ford car output cur
rently is running about 4.000 a dav,
the company once attained a level
of 10.000 cars a day and its produc
tion facilities since have been vastly
increased. With the conveyor system
adapted to its motor casting and
machining department, it is said in
some quarters to have a motor pro
duction capacity now in excess of
20.000 a day.
Ford associates said today in
Detroit that Mr. Ford was not in
terested in inquiries from overseas
regarding his airplane production
capacity. "He made it clear in his
first statement," they said, "that he
was concerned only with the defense
of this country and it is for defense
needs only that he would undertake
mass production of airplanes.”
The question of compulsory mili
tary training was injected into the
complicated defense picture yester
day at the President's press con
ference, when Mr. Roosevelt was
asked to comment on a New York
Times editorial.
He replied that he had read only
the first paragraph and liked it very
much. The paragraph called for
immediate adoption of a national
system of compulsory military
training.
Pittman Warns Against Hysteria.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, com
menting on the editorial, declared:
"We should not incite hysteria by
advocating at this time compulsory
military service.”
Exclaimed Senator Norris, inde
pendent, of Nebraska: "I'm not for
it. I never have been, and I don't
believe we ought to have it."
Senator Thomas, Democrat, ol
Utah, voiced approval, and Senator
Connally, Democrat, of Texas, said
some such policy eventually might
be necessary if threatening world
conditions continued.
mere was comparable disagree
ment over Mr. Roosevelt's plans to
ask Congress for specific authority
to turn World War stocks of guns
back to manufacturers. Existing
laws make this permissible with
planes and ammunition.
Senator Clark. Democrat. of
Idaho, said the indirect releasing of

Ruppert Estate Valued
At Only $7,000,000
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 8.—Col. Jacob
Ruppert, the baseball and brewing
magnate, left an estate of only about
$7,000,000, instead of the $30,000,000
to $70,000,000 with which he was
popularly credited, the executors’
tentative accounting disclosed yes
terday.
The principal assets were his al
most complete ownership of the New
York Yankees, baseball organization,
valued at $2,400,000. and Ruppert
Brewery stock, valued at $2,500,000.
hTe executors said overestimates
of the fortune probably were due to
a mistaken belief that he owned all
of the brewery stock, and to the
fact that he held only a minority
interest in his real estate ventures
and that real estate values had de
clined recently.
Col. Ruppert's real estate was
valued at $600,000. He had an addi
tional $1,450,000 in miscellaneous
securities; furniture, jewelry and
paintings valued at $196,000, and a
$50,000 yacht.

the Democratic stronghold of the
State.
G. O. P. May Defeat Gulley.
The Republicans have a chance
also in Pennsylvania to unseat Sen
ator Guffey—although Senator Guf
fey is confident of re-election, par
ticularly if the President is renomi
nated. The Keystone State turned
Republican two years ago and elect
ed Republican Gov. James. There
has been no evidence that the New
Dealers have gained any strength
in the State since then. Further
more, there was a terrific Democratic
battle in the primary this year—
with the Republicans having a com
paratively harmonious time.
Senator Byrd of Virginia has no
opposition for renomination and re
election on the Democratic side—
and, of course, the Republicans have
no chance in the Old Dominion.
Senator "Happy” Chandler of Ken
tucky, who is serving for the first
time in the Senate, under appoint
ment of Gov. Keen Johnson, also
will probably have no opposition in
the Democratic primary, which is
to he held in August. Even if he
had an opponent, he is the odds-on
favorite for renomination and for
re-election.
Kings Seat Contested.
In Utah, Senator King has a con
test for renomination, although he
should win. Representative Mur
doch is out for the nomination and
also Dalbert Draper, an attorney
who was once recommended for ap
pointment to the Federal bench.
Former Gov. Brann of Maine is
the Democratic candidate for the
senatorial seat now held by Senator
Hale. Two Republicans. Gov. Bar
rows and Representative Brewster,
a former Governor, are competing
for the Republican nomination.
Brewster is a vote getter and is
given the edge by some of the
wiseacres.
The Democrats are cheered by the
prediction of the treasurer of their
National Committee. Oliver A
Quayle, jr., that the campaign will
open with the committee entirely
out of debt and with a surplus in
the treasury.

Intimate Chat Number 56
There is no feature or phase of commer
cialism in Rock Creek Cemetery. This, of
itself, is a commending argument. It leaves
every dollar of income devoted to maintenance
and upkeep—assured for all time by an endow
ment fund already approximating a million dol
lars. Really, this is a matter of too vital im
portance to be overlooked.
Speculative ownership is always liable to
change, both in personnel and policy. Rock
Creek Cemetery is different. Its ownership
is perpetual, its management definitely defined
•—and vested in a continuing trusteeship. All
of which means that what Rock Creek Ceme
tery is today—in natural beauty, sacred charm,
and sculptured art—it will continue to be
throughout the never-ending future.
Sites, lots and mausoleum plots in Rock
Creek Cemetery are consequently most rea
sonable in price—with no salesmen to be paid
and with no subsiding tributes to anyone.
We ask your inspection and investigation—
then the decision is left to you.
The Cemetery Office is open
weekdays from 9 to 4:30. Sun
days and holidays, 9 to Noon.
