THE YEAR OF DECISION
BY Alfred o. EdneY

In July of this year, Virgin
Islanders everywhere will eel
citrate the one hundredth an
niversary Of the ABOLITION
OF SLAVERY in the former
Danish Wset Indies, now the
American Virgin Islands.
This event should be Of spe-
Icial significance to all West In
dians, especially Virgin Is
landers. This freedom which
we, the offspring of those pio-
Ineers, now enjoy was won by
faith in God and by honest
cooperation, solidarity and
unity.
1t is true that we have made
some progress during This cen
fury Of freedom but, unfor-
tunately, we have left undone
the principal things that
would have enriched our lives.
The spirit Of unity IS almost
extinct today. Our economic
and social position needs re-
enforcement. We need finance
to take us out of the economic
doldrums in which we now
find ourselves. Several sur

its continuance our economy
will be shattered to atoms.
3. The Federal Housing
A Author ity should be APP
preached with a view toward
their reaction to the construc-
ton of homes in the islands as
a means of elleviating the a.
cute housing shortage. If that
Agency is in no position to as
sist, plans should be forward
ed and contacts made for a
loan from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The
Municipality can then con-
|struct these houses, rent them
construct at reasonable prices
and also help to solve another
observation-disclosures
4, The Federal Works Agen4'
icy should be contacted in or
der that information might be
obtained regarding the. pos
sibilities Of more projects In
the islands. It has been over
one year since work was be-
gun by the contractors and at
no time did they employ an
appreciable number of work
ers. It should be remembered
that the so-called "Ten-Mil-
lion Dollar program was sup
posed to relieve u%nemploy-
ment in the Virgin Islands.

tied these islands, we have

still, poverty seems to haunt
our islands. Official Washing
ton should be acquainted with
our wants by now. Although
we may feel that they do
know, let US assume that they
do not, and make our repre-
sensations now!
However, the question still
is: What plans can we fornu-

economic rehabilitation of
these islands As a citizen of
the United States and a native
of the Virgin Islands, / am Of
fering these suggestions to
you, my countrymen here and
abroad, for your approval with
the earnest hope that they are
interpreted in the light for
which they are intended.

sury is in a depleted condi-
ton and nothing can be done
without financial assistance.
Therefore, / suggest that our
legislators and the Admins
tration, in both municipalities,
invite the Chambers of Com
merce, professional men, rep
resentatives of various organ
izations and other citizens Of
the various districts of the is
lands, to discuss the present
crisis. A call should then be
sent out for a joint session of
the Municipal Councils, they
in turn should then discuss
the plans and recommended
tions offered, consolidate them
and forward copies to the
President of the United States

ATHENS, Aug. 1.-THE Greek

Alevitsa, a 5.000-foot peak, guard

in the whole campaign to rout the
Communist rebels from their Gram
mos mountain bastion The fortifica-
tons there, he said, were built by
the late John Metaxas, when he
was the Greek strong man, to defend
against invasion from the north.s
There are 13 double concrete pill
boxes on the north and five on the
south, plus two mortar emplace-

Secretary of State Marshall
said today that in negotiating
with the Russians, the United
States must not seek agreement
merely for agreements sake.
Gen. Marshall made the comment
at a news conference after he had
been asked to discuss the interna-
tional meeting at Belgrade, Yugo-
slavia, on freedom of navigation on
the Danube River. The conference
is split between majority Russian
bloc and minority western bloc.
Repeatedly the Secretary gave a
no-comment reply to inquiries about
the Big Four talks now under way
at Moscow on the Berlin blockade
and the broader problem of a Ger
man settlement. However, the
sweeping nature of his response to
the inquiry on the Danube meeting
made it clear that he applies the
same line OF reasoning to the Mos
COW and Belgrade sessions.
The Danube Conference now in
progress, Gen. Marshall said, is an
excellent example of the difficulties

D. {. Builders Return
$4,000 10 Veterans
On Prosecution Threat
5Coses Of Refusal to Make
Restitution in Violations
Given to U. 5. Attorney
By Robert J. Lewis

washington area builders
have returned more than 10000
to 1855 purchasers of veterans
housing since January l under
threat of prosecution Initiated
by the office of the housing ex-
pediter, it was learned today.
Five cases in which builders re-
fused to make restitution after the
Housing Expediter's Office said its
investigations showed violations
have been turned over to, the United
States Attorneys ONCE there.
Most of the voluntary refunds
have been made within the last
three months as result of the
stepped-up nationwide program OF
investigation authorized by Congress
in July, when 100000 was appro-
priated for employment of 300 ad-
ditional investigators.
One Builder Refunds $4,000.
Latest result of the program in
this area came today, when 10 vet
Grams received $4,000 in refunds
ranging from about $500 to $4,000
each. The entire amount came
from a single builder.
The money was returned either
as a result of overcharges or sub
stitution or omission of materials
specified at the time the builder
received priorities under the Vet
Grams Emergency Housing Act.
Additional settlements are being
agreed on by many other builders
in this area, an OHE spokesman
said
"Our investigative program is now
really getting under way as a result
of action by Congress- a housing
official said.

plants all over the country which
we are digging into first"

The official emphasized. however,
that In case there is single COM
