FISCAL AFFAIRS
OF the Municipality Of ST. croix
Virgin Islands
DEFICIENCIES IN PRES
EMIT ORGANIZATION
STRUCTURE

There are several significant
defects in the organization
structure for the Government
of the Virgin Islands. Per-
haps the most significant de-
parture from the principles of
organization is that, with re-
gard to all officials and en-
ployees on the federal pay
roll, the lines of authority and
responsibility are not the
same as the lines of appoint
ment. With very few excep-
tions, all Of the federal en-
ployees are appointed by the
Secretary of the Interior, and
yet they are supposed to be
responsible to, and subject to;
the authority Of the Governor.
While there is no evidence of
failure to respect such author
ity at the present time, it is
easy to visualize a situation
where this would be the case.
It is fundamental to effective
administration that the person
who is responsible for, and
has authority over, the actions
of another employee must all
SO have the power of appoint
ment and, with some restric-
tions, the power Of renewal Of
such employee. Unless this is

The same arguments should
also apply to most Of the line
functions. Both the area and
the population Of the Virgin
Islands are sufficiently small
SO that one competent person
can provide adequate general
direction over a major func-
ton for the Islands as a whole.
1t would also be possible to
(! pay more and to make the
positions more attractive to
competent persons if the adj
administration were centralized.
This problem is discussed in
greater detail in later sec
tons of this report dealing
with the administration of in
dividual functions and activi-
ties.
Following the same line of
reasoning, three distinct legis-
lative bodies should not be re-
quired to perfom the policy.
making functions for the Is
lands. This problem, of course
ties in closely with questions
relating to whether there
should be a single revenue
base, which is considered in
some detail in the section
dealing with the financial sit
uation.
While it is desirable to slim
ulate citizen interest, through
the use of commissions and
boards, such bodies should be,
restricted to an advisory or
lquasi-judicial character, such
as personnel and planning adj
visory boards and tax-appeal
boards. At present St. Croix
has too many boards and COM
missions, and several of them
delve into the realm Of adj
ministration, with the result
that the administration Of the
activities involved is usually
less effective, and responsible
ity is diffused.
The use of an Independent
authority to operate the re-
Gently acquired power and
light system seems unnecessa-
Try. Many of the municipali-

actions of the employee and
consequently cannot be held
responsible for such actions.
Closely related to the pro-
blem of federal appointment
of many of the ST. Croix Off
Gals and employees is the
fact that they are paid from
federal funds. Aside from
creating a tendency for the
employees to feel a stronger
loyalty to the department.
which pays them than to the
Governor, there results a sit
uation in which most of those
employees are paid on a much
higher scale than their fellow
workers who are paid from
municipal funds. AS an ex-
ample, the Assistant Commits
sioner of Finance receives
$5,657 .25 per annum, whereas
the head of the Department Of
Police and Prisons, who is on
the local payroll, receives only
$1,000.
Even for the federal en-
ployees, two separate and dis
tinct salary schedules are in
effect. Part of these employees
are paid on the basis of the
regular federal pay scales and
in addition receive the Is per
cent Territorial Service differ
entail, even though many of
them are natives of the Is
lands. The rest of the federal
employees are paid on a so
called "local schedule" which
is not only basically much
lower but furthermore does
not provide for the Is per cent
differential. Finally, the first
group is protected by the fed
eral Civil Service rules and
regulations, while the second
is not.
Another situation which
makes for something less than
the most effective admins
tration is the almost complete
functional decentralization.
For such staff functions as
personnel administration
planning, and financial admin

Blast Communism in
Bids for Oregon Vote
BY the Assoeioted Press

PORTLAND, Greg, May 13.-Har-
old E. Stassen and Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey today headed into the home
stretch of their clear-cut race for
this States Republican presidential
preference vote.
Both candidates thumped on the
topic of communism last night.
Mr.. Stassen initiated his final
drive in an address here. At the
same time, his New York opponent
appeared before crowd at Pendle-
ton, in the Eastern Oregon wheat
region. Each has full schedule of
appearances through the State be-
fore the ballots are cast May 81.
The election is the last direct
primary before the party's national
nomination convention in June.
Both candidates-alone in the race
have to great measure their
presidential chances at stake in
winning in Oregon.
Debate Scene Undecided.
Still undecided is the time and
place for the unprecented debate
the two have agreed to stage.
Mr. Stassen said on arriving back
in Oregon yesterday he hopes the
discussion on Communism would in
clude vital national issues. At
Pendleton, aides Of Gov. Dewey in
dicated that Mr.. Stassen's view had
been transmitted to the governor
and that he may have it under con-
sideration. Aides are to meet
today on the debate arrangements
The Minnesotan reiterated last
night his earlier demand that Com
munist organizations be outlawed
''in America and all freedom loving
countries" He spoke before less
than 1,5OO persons.
II realize full well that there are
those who disagree with me in this
position" he said. president Tru-
man, Gov. Dewey and Henry Wal
lace all continue to believe that the
blessings of legality should be ex-
tended to the Communist organ
ization"
He then referred to his opponent
in the Oregon primary. He said
II am certain that Gov. Dewey Is
sincere in his position, but sub
init that he is mistaken"
Food Declared Key Weapon.
At Pendleton, Gov. Dewey assert.
ed Americas food production Il
the only realistic weapon against
the spread of Communism in the
world.

citizen abroad is concerned, it j

Wer Mr.. Beverly's article, ga
Teachers Union" appearing in
your paper on Aug. Goth.
In the first place, Mr.. Beverly's
statement about teachers being
better paid than any other work.
ers in Dickinson County shows
he, undoubtedly, knows little
about the work of teachers, else
he would not have made such a
rash statement. We have always
had few such critics who are
either Wilful or naturally ignor-
ant of the the scope of the teach
er's work to make such broad
statements. Most of the people
understand the teachers prob
lens and are in sympathy with
their plight.
The teachers hours are not so
short as Mr.. Beverly would have
you believe. 1t is not so simple as
he states. The teachers work is
not done at 3 o'clock by any
means. They work at night and
most of them have the school on
their minds most of their waking
hours. This is a mental strain
which the industrial worker
knows nothing about. He forgets
his work and relaxes after the
days task is done. The teacher
has little relaxation of mind, UNI
til the final school term ends.
There are people in Dickinson
County today making $4,000 and
upwards per day. These men
spent nothing in order to acquire
this job and to receive such good
wages. | ask Mr.. Beverly to show
me one single teacher today max
ing over $500 per day, and that
includes the principals of high
schools. Some of these hold mas
,ers degrees, and have spent hum
dreds of dollars to reach these
positions which is far below many
unskilled positions.
Mr.. Beverly says that about
all the teachers who are industri
Gus and try to get ahead are
about the ,best livers in the coun
ty. Mr. Beverly is either blind or
has an unusual imagination to
make such a statement. At pres

has made a good living by teach
ing. I know of few who have

contradiction, that teachers are
the most poorly paid class of PEG
pei in the u. S. A. considering
the outlay of money to obtain
such a position and in keeping
up with the profession.
Mr. Beverly says that "tax-
payers are getting tired of pay
ing out so much for so little" If
all people were so grudging in
paying taxes as he seems o be,
we would be in a pitable condi-
ton. l admit that we have some
high school graduate teachers
who have not had the teacher
training which they should have
had, to do as efficient Job as we
would like for them to do and
probably some older teachers do
not work as hard as they should,
but on an average, any of them
earn their salary.

teachers can make better show
ing, handicapped as they are at
present. Most teachers in Dicken

badly overloaded today. The.
standard teacher load should be,
according to good authority,
about 35 pupils. The majority
have from fifty to close one hun
dred, crowded into one room,
with no time for individual in
struction. All people interested
in the welfare of the future of
the children of this county well

Few people realize the desper-
ate school situation, with its
crowding and double-shifting. If
they really knew, they would, we
must believe, be willing to pay
the cost. After all, the whole pur
pose of civilization seems to be
the proper rearing of children so
that progress may be made from
one generationo to another. Thus
mankind moves toward the high
destiny of the human race.
