" Paternal Government Breeds Dictator Rule, Dewey Declares Address at Kansas Quaker School Warns Agaizst Totalitarianism By the Associated Press. WICHITA, Kans., May 4 —Thomas E. Dewey, critical of the doctrine that “the government is the only source from which blessings can flow,” asserted last night that “foun- dations of totalitarianism” are laid ‘when people are subservient to gov- ernment. “It is right that the government sghould make provision to alleviate eonditions of social distress,” the New York district attorney and Re- publican presidential aspirant said in an address prepared for a Friends University meeting. “But government, in thus serving ts people, should not be allowed to ereate the impression that it is itself 2 benevolent provider to whom all eratitude is due. * * * “We face a real danger in the opportunity which the complexities of our modern economic system glves to a government to secure dominance over a large section of our population. * * * Warns Against Class Creed. *There must be unremitting effort and unyielding insistence to assure the integrity of the individual. “In too many countries the creed is proclaimed that the individual is unimportant, and in its stead nation, race or class is held up to reverence. * * * Such a creed is bound to lead to war.” Warning against “conceptions de- structive of a free and liberal body tion Field.

References to his presidential aspirations were by in- ference only. ‘Throughout his talk he upheld the Quakers (Friends is a Quaker| school, as great exponents of indi- vidual liberty. “There was a prophetic quality in this thoughtful Quaker (William Penn), who doffed his hat to God alone,” Mr. Dewey said. “He must have sensed an inevi- table trend toward paternalism in democratic government * * *.” Mr. Dewey was introduced by Alt M.

The most notably comprehensive display of books and other literary material about stamps ever brought together under a single roof was open for public inspection at the Library of Congress today. Planned to mark the centennial of the release of the first adhesive postal label, the show is a feature of the Postage Stamp Centenary now being celebrated throughout the world. It was arranged by William C. Bond, former president of the Washington Philatelic Society, and Dr. Emil F. Ferdinand, representa- tive of the Washington Philatelic Study Club, both members of the Library staff, working under the di- rection of Archibald MacLeish, librarian. A reception for stamp collectors and their friends was to be held in the south gallery of the main library building at 3 o'clock this afternoon, at which time copies of a practical check list of books relating to stamps and to philately, with an introduc- tion by Mr. MacLeish, will be dis- tributed. ‘The centenary program for tonight is centered in a banquet to be held at the Hotel Mayflower. Last evening out-of-town visitors were conducted on a tour through Bureau of Engraving and Printing and heard an illustrated lecture on “Philately and Microphotography” by William McP. Bigelow of Phila- delphia, representing the Bureau Issues Association. The philatelic fair at the Mayflower, it was an- nounced, will continue today and throughout tomorrow. | Whelchel Firm in Denial He Sold Postal Jobs By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J,, May 4= The Methodist Church, in a decla= ration of its opposition to war, ine cluded today a plea that conscien- tious objectors be accorded consid- eration by their fellow men. “There is no common judgment among Christians as to what a Christian should do when his own nation becomes involved in war,” read the declaration approved by the general conference last night. “On this issue, our own membership is divided. We believe, however, that the Christian Church, in a world torn asunder by bitter conflict, must not permit itself to be divided over any matter * * *” Use of Buildings Barred. The conference also decided it would not permit Methodist build- ings to be used “in preparation for war " The delegates overwhelmingly re- jected an amendment which would make the anti-war stand refer only to “aggressive war.” ‘To this proposal, Dr. Ernest P. Tittle of Evanston, Ill, chairman of the committee which drafted the pronouncement, said: “We must not do again what we did 20 years ago, when we fought a bloody war with the mistaken idea everything we held dear was at stake.” Absolute Sovereignty Assailed. The nations of the world were | called upon by the delegates to | “surrender the claim of absolute | national sovereignty,” described as | “the claim that as a last resort a nation may do whatever it will for its own purposes, regardless of what effect it has on the rest of man- kind.” o The conference also went on rec- ord urging the church to “labor by genuinely educational methods” for a voting majority of citizens which “will demand prohibition and make | it effective.” | Another decision released young men from the obligation of answer- ing aloud John Wesley's famous “soul searching” questions in order | to become pastors. Tenth of Income Asked. The Judicial Council handed down today a decision that the General Conference acted within its powers yesterday when it ordered manda- tory retirement of all pastors at the age of 72. The conference asked all Metho- dists who can afford it to contrib~ ute 10 per cent of their income to- ward church support.

War in West Almost Started By ‘Insults’ By the Associated Press. BASEL, Switzerland, May 4.— French and German soldiers got so worked up over an exchange of loud- speaker insults from one line to the other that the nearest thing to a battle yet staged on the Rhine front continued for an hour last night. 1t started when the broadcaster on & German musical program which entertains the French through a loudspeaker departed from the usual insults to the British and compli- ments to the French to brag about the German victory in Norway. This 50 excited the French broad- caster that he made uncompli- mentary references about Adolf Hitler. A German sharpshooter took a pot shot at the French loudspeaker with his rifle. For an hour thereafter the whole sector north of Basel resounded with rifle, machine gun and heavy artil- lery fire. Military observers estimated that at least $50,000 worth of ammuni- tion was used up by both sides—and they doubted whether any one in Germany's West Wall or France's Magindt Line even had been wounded. 2 Mrs. Alicia du Pont Maddox Glen- whose custody he was taken five | Von Open, the report picked up | |as a go-between, Mr. Whelchel re- ceived $1,100 each from Hulon Hol- comb and Paul Grogan for rural route appointments at Ball Ground, Ga.

Edwards, who trapped him about 3 o'clock this morning in Tommie Tucker’s Tav- ern, 126 Nineteenth street SE. After the man surrendered with- out resistance, Sergt. Langley said, he admitted a number of tavern rob- beries here. His plan was always the same. In the daytime he would go to a prospective tavern, order and drink a glass of beer while he looked around, go to Baltimore and buy a small screwdriver and & pinch bar. After the tavern closed for the night he would return, hiring a taxi to drive him to within a block of the place. He would use the screwdriver and bar to break in the back door. Then he would barricade the door behind him and jimmie open all mu- sic boxes and cash drawers he could find. In all, the man admitted obtain- ing about $100 in this manner, Sergt. Langley said.
