the polls on November 2, the
result being that there is a
Democratic Congress which
sits in January.
IN taking the road for Presi-
dent Truman, Governor Has
tie performed another service
for the Virgin Islands,, and that
was getting our name before
the American public. Perhaps
more than at any other time,
people of America knew and
heard Of the Virgin Islands.
This means that they have
awakened to a new conscious
ness of their brothers in the
Islands, and to their problems.
This, as we all know, is a po-
tential power upon which Gov
ernor HASTE can draw in the
future. However, that will de-
pend upon the approach tax
en- by the Governor who may
elect to take a different course,
and he should be the best
judge of that. One thing is
certain, and that is that the
Governor is a more shrewd
politician, and carries greater
power than many would care
to admit.
We feel that we express the
ideas of many when we say
that there is much optimism
for the future, and the Gov
ernors ability, under the de-
v~elopments, to tap the right
sources. While wholesale mag
ic is not expected, nor is it
reasonable, yet the outlook is
brighter, and with anxious
eyes we gaze at the horizon
on which we hope to see
the dawn of a new day in the
economic and social life of
these beautiful Islands.

OUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY

- GQEa1 EO4 OFFOh1 UNITY
THERE WAS never a time since the American occupa-
uon OF these Islands that offered greater opportunity for Sc
curing the return OF the Internal Revenue Taxes than the pre-
sent. II ever there was a time il It's now. We now have the right
combination OF circumstances, which, if properly used, could
produce the desired results, and heaven knows that it would
be welcome.
IN THIS national election more than any other, the pow-
er OF the vote made clear, and the Administration in Washing
ton has the mandate of the people to go forward with a pro-
greSSlve and constructive program which includes, among
other things, Civil Rights, greater Social Security benefits and
revision OF the Taft-Hartley Law, With such an Administra-
tion' friendly to the problems of the Virgin Islands, there is
little doubt that something will be done with regard to the In
ternal Revenue taxes.
OOh MAlNSTAY is Governor HASTE, who has proved
himself right time and again, and though bonfires flare up
here and there, they quickly die down in the face of right
causes and principles. He was criticized for taking the road
Tor President Truman, but that, too, has proved wrong, and
the Governor comes out more secure. With his prominence
and secured position he should be able to use his influence to
the greatest advantage for the Islands. Fortunately, Governor
Haste knows our problems in their minutest detail, and being
acquainted with them does have the proper approach to them.
WHEN H Governor took to the road, he knew then
the power OF the vote, and what it could do when the case is
properly presented. In his tours through l9 states he came in
contact with many leaders, Negro and white, and was exposed
to audiences of every shade of opinion and standing. With
such a reserve to tap. plus sympathetic ears in Washington
he shouldbe able to put into effect a program for the return
OF the taxes, which is our major problem at the moment. In
the United States it is the people who speak, and the work of
Congress very often reflects the wishes of the people. The
8Oth Congress did not satisfy the voters and they spoke at

soybean Disease Problem

Moldy bean and purple spot dis
eases of soybeans were brought to
Delaware farmers attention during
sessions of the recent University of
Delaware Farmers Week. C. E.
Phillips, extension agronomist and
DR.. ]. w. Heuberger, extension
plant pathologist, told growers
that studies conducted on four
varieties of yellow soybeans plant
ed at six different dates at the
University's Agricultural S u b :
station showed that the Patoka
variety had the highest resistance
to these diseases. The Lincoln
variety of soybeans showed the
least resistance while C-463 and
Chief. the other two varieties stu
died. showed intermediate resist
ance.
When Delaware farmers began
their harvest of yellow soybeans
this past fall they found that in
many instances the beans were in
fected with either a whitish-gray
mold or a purple spot, or both. At
no time during the growing season
was it observed that soybeans
were infected with disease other
than that caused by bacterial
blight. So these diseases are ap-
parently only associated with the
beans themselves.
Growers were especially caution
ed not to plant seed infected with
these diseases. DR.. Heubergre re-
ported that in one lot of infected
beans the clean beans were separ-
ated from the infected ones and
that in one termination test 80
per cent of the clean beans germ
mated, only 33 per cent of the
beans infected with the purple spot
and only one per cent of the moldy
beans terminated.

Conn has a knee injury which
kept him out of the second half of
last Friday nights game against
Denver, and he probably won't be
used any more than necessary Fri

Bagarus' first workout with the
Tribe yesterday and although their
newest halfback seems to favor his
broken leg slightly both think he'll
be ready to play against Boston
Sunday.
But I don't want Turk to use
him too much," declared Marshall.
Il want him to work into the line
up gradually and take it easy getting
started. I want the home town fans
to see Steve at his best when he
makes his debut against the Detroit
Lions a week from Sunday"
Bagarus should have no trouble
fitting into the lineup, inasmuch as
he played the same system with the

it will take him little time to got
