What Cooperation Can Do

What Cooperation Can. Do
The SUCCESS of the recent Centennial celebrations
gives proof a-plenty that many hands pitched in, and effective
cooperation was given. We are, thinking particularly of the
work OF those who were not members of the Committee, but
who were invited to make some contribution in effort along
particular lines. Outstanding among these are William "BiP
BaaT, who operates The International Shop" in Christiansted
MIR. Baar, accepted the invitation given him, and moved on
from that point. He contacted bus and truck owners. school
teachers, parents and many others, procured painted signs
and buntings, and offered valuable advice to other committees
working on the celebration. His particular assignment, that Of
arranging for the parade was carried out effectively and well
He passed along ideas for floats, made all arrangements, and
on the day of the big parade everything went off smoothly as
planned.
ON MANY occasions we have found it necessary to diff
fer with people, but in each and every case it was over a prin
ciple, or a point, but never with the individual as such. And
that is one point which it seems unusually difficult to get
across, for our people are tempted to believe that once there
is ever any difference, credit should under no circumstances
be given.
WHILE Mi. Baar did a particularly good job, using his
own transportation in connection with Father Bernard Mac
Laughlin, OF the Holy Cross Anglican Church, and an endless
amount of time, credit must also Be given to others whose ef-
forts made possible the success of the programs. Among those:
Mrs. Maria Thomas not only conducted a successful campaign
for Miss Mariel Mac Kay, who was crowned Centennial
Queen thus contributing much needed funds to the otherwise
empty treasury of the Committee, but ably assisted whenever
and wherever she could; Mrs, Hlda England, head Of the
Centennial Queen Committee, who ably demonstrated that
one committee can function effectively for all ST. Croix; the
hardworking and treless Carl Golf, who headed the Dance
Committee; Mrs Sylvia Clarke who, with her two assistants,
Mrs-Octayia Ross aDd7Mbs Claire Todnan, helped to demon

FACTS ABOUT THE

was chosen as the Centennial
Queen started her career in
the year 1913. She worked at

she was recommended by the
Danish Sisters to the Christian

1920.
She thereafter took up du-
ties in the Frederiksted Hos

December 1922. In January Of
1928 she was recommended as
School Nurse in Christiansted,
where she worked for eight
months. She was later appoint
ed to the position of Nurse-in-

IN October of the same year,
here she worked for IS years
until the termination Of that
Institution when the patients
were transferred to St. Eliza
beth Hospital in Washington,
2. G. she accompanied them to
Washington. Upon arrival
there she was offered a posi-
ton, but declined same be-
cause of her love for home and
the affection for her aged step
mother, Mrs. Louise Roberts.

Ggebean was in charge, Miss
MacKayw who was in charge of

contributed much to the sue
cess Of the programs in both
towns. Few realized that the
beautiful White and Gold ban
ner was the work of the Moth
ers. Ira Ross. local manager of
the Y. /. National Bank, and
many others that we could
mention, that gave valuable
assistance. Without a doubt,
Paul Joseph, Editor and Pub
Usher, of the West End News
worked increasingly to see
that everything went well.
The success of the entire
program points glaringly to
the value of cooperation, and
even more so to the need for it.
In this place, where there is
SO much to be done it would
be well for people to forego
petty chickering's, and work for
the bigger things. Everything
undertaken would be, and
can be as successful as the
celebrations. if accompanied
by the cooperation which was
given to that.

REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY


special session of Congress de-
clares the p u b lit interest re-
quires" it. Independent observers
are agreed h a the interest of
the Democratic presidential cam
paign was also considered in max
ing the call. Many believe that
the President has, by taking the
offensive, put Mr.. Dewey "on the
spot"
Republican response so far has
indicated sharp annoyance and
belief that nothing useful can
be done" in a special session.
Since only month ago Republi-
can leaders were themselves con-
sidering calling Congress back
after the conventions, this sounds
like a politicians reply to pol
itician's move. So also does the
proposal to toss civil rights bill
into h e special session, let the
southern Democrats deadlock
Congress with a filibuster, ex-
pose the Presidents inability to
handle his own party, and then
adjourn.
1t seems to us a wiser, more
imaginative, answer is available
to the Republicans. We should
not be surprised to find Governor
Dewey making it. 1t would be for
him to call Republican congress-
lonal leaders into conference, out
line genuinely useful program
of legislation, and drive it
through.
The Republicans will do we'll to
accept the challenge. They must
sooner or later face a situation
reported by public-opinion polls
they did not satisfy the Ameri-
can people in the 8Oth session of !
Congress. They cannot satisfy |
them by complaining that Mr.. |
Truman is playing politics or that !
a Republican Congress can't do !
anything. They can m e e the |
test by Fortnight performance.
To shape and get agreement on
an adequate program of legisla-
ton will not be easy for Mr.. !
Dewey. Republicans are divided
like the Democrats-on specific |
methods for doing several of the
things t h ey promised to do in
their platform. The Governor of |
New York cannot yet WELD the
W h ip of Federal patronage,
which is normally an effective
presidential persuader recalcitrant |
party members. But he has prom
Using prospects. And a minimum |
program need not include all the
controversial measures W h i c h
split Republicans.
A good beginning could be made
with simpler tn n G 8, like the
housing bill which the H o u e
Rules Committee tt e d up, the
virtually unopposed but strangely
neglected United Nations loan,
Federal aid to education, a rea-
sonable minimum wage bill, and
a few moderate but specific meas
ures to help check initiation. Many
of h measures are already
formulated. 1t is widely reported
that Republican leaders plan to
adopt certain curbs on imitation
next year. Why wait?
Such a program as this would
not follow Mr.. Truman very far.
He might still complain. But it
would take the edge off his case
against Congress. Of course, too,
the President might claim credit
for getting action. But against
that the Republicans could pre-
sent proof of Mr.. Dewey's ability
to lead.
Most of all, the session would
be made to serve "the public in
terest." The people would obtain
needed Legislation and a consid-
cradle sharpening and clarifica-
ton of the two parties positions

GAME SUPPLY IN
 ALASKA RIGHT NOW IS ON DOWN GRADE

SEATTLE, March 25.--lRl-Alas- ka's game supply is on the down grade and needs additional protec- tion, says Charles Gillham, who has spent l2 years in the Territory as a biologist with the Department of In- terior and the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice
 'The caribou which formerly roamed the tundra in countless numbers are way down" Gillham said in a Times interview The mountain sheep are also falling off badly. The Moose and bear are do- ing fairly well, but wait when the hunting pressure really hits"
 Gillham said there are only eight game agents to patrol 26,000 miles of coastline and 590,O00 square miles of big-game country in Alaska.
 The total money available for patrol is $175,000 per. year. which must be appropriated by Congress, he added. "In the district around Fairbanks, which is the size of Tex as, we have one agent, and he must cover his section by foot, boat and plane We are hoping to get $400, GOO from Congress this year and $l50,0oo to fight predators."

NEW YORK, March 25.--lR-- Plane maker Glenn L. Martin says the Navy has perfected guided mis- siles that can search out an enemy ship and destroy it "even if it is halfway across the ocean
 The United States present-day warfare developments, Martin says, also include radioactive cloud that will kill anything it touches, new bacteria weapons and an A. bomb far more devastating than those dropped on Japan.
 The Navy's guided missile is equip ped with a homing device which steers it to it's target, Martin, head of the plane manufacturing com- pany that bears his name, said at a press conference.
 We can sink the ship even il 1t is halfway across the ocean. All we have to do is to get our own ships out of the way"

SAYS SUBS
 ARE SEEN
 OFF SHORE
Do Not Belong to Any Na- lion West of Iron
 Curtain" Report

WASHINGTON, March 25.-tR- Secretary of the Navy Sullivan told Senators today that recently submarines not belonging to any nation west of the iron curtain have been sighted off our shores" !"
 Although Sullivan named no names. Russia is the only nation behind the iron curtain known to have any submarine fleet.
 Testifying to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sullivan said ;
 T am not prepared to evaluate the significance of these sightings. However, we all recall that an ear- ly step of the Germans in 1917 and l941 was to deploy subma- rines off our coasts"
 Sullivan was before the commit tee to ask for a stronger Navy as part of the Administrations stop Communism" drive.
 He said Russia had obtained 10 new German submarines, four of them of the latest wartime design.
 This type embodies both the Schorkel and high submerged speed.
 This speed. combined with its deep suhmergence characteristics, makes it extremely effective in submarine wariare and most diff cult to detect ard counter-attack. "
 tThe Schorkel is German-de- veloped device. It is a sort of snout which can be sent to the surface, and permits the sub marines diesel engines to operate while the sub lies submerged. Prior to its development, submarine had to surface to recharge batter ies by use of diesel power)
 Sullivan told the committee the Russians now control four large German snspbuilding yafds which mass produced submarines during World War 1T.
