WE DO NEED A RESIDENT
COMMISSIONER

THERE IS nothing left for
us to do but join in the train
of disappointment at the re-.
commentator in the Butler
Miller Report that the Virgin.
Islands should not have a Resi-
dent Commissioner in Wash
ington. We are in accord with
the Report as a whole, and be-
lieve therein lies much from
which these Islands could
benefit, but on this one point
we must disagree with the pro
ponents.
IT IS KNOWN that these
Islands have been neglected
too long; that much goes by
that should be given closer
and fuller attention, and that
there may be even men in
Congress who have no idea of
where the Islands are, or
what the score is. As a result
there is much left undone
which long ago should have
come about. There is legisla-
ton which literally ~penalize
these Islands, and tie their
hands. Among these are: the
tariff on imported goods, or
raw materials, which if pro-
cessed here, finds a barrier on
entering the continental Uni
ted States, the conspicuous
absence of the S~mith-Hughes
and Smith Lever Acts, Co
operative Agriculture Exten-
sion Acts, Vocational educa-

These, and many more woulc
receive much closer attention
if we had a Resident Com.
missioner in Washington. Here
is one place where the ole
adage that the eyes of the mas
ter fatten the horse seems tc
have sound effect.
IT is BECAUSE of this ten.
dency to neglect, and over.
look so small a group that the
need for a Resident Commits
sioner becomes all the more
apparent. We are right at thi.
moment in the height of oul
economic problems. AND
while it has been suggested
that we do all we can, yet
without Federal help oul
hands are literally tied. Tab
ling of important legislation
lack of frst-hand knowledge
on local conditions, and lacl

Chicago to Give Destitute
Institution $l5O,OOO

CHICAGO, Ill.,-(ANP) - The
plea of 200 leading business and
civic leaders for financial support
of Provident hospital, 53-year-old
institution which serves 100000
south side Negroes, to prevent it's
closing. was heard by the city
government here last week.
An emergency meeting in the
city council chambers was held
here Friday to plan a program
that will furnish the hospital
$4,000 by the end of the month
to wipe out the annual deficit
and to map long-range program
for financial aid to care for the
high load of free cases.
Provident. the only approved
hospital to be located in the
densely-populated Negro commu-
nifty, is private non-profit insti-
tuition, which supports a free and
part pay load unusually large In
terms of its bed equipment.
According to Clyde L. Reynolds.
executive director. free services
for 1948 have cost the hospital
approximately $150.OO0. The hospi-
tai has 210 beds, an all-Negro
staff, and virtually all of its
patients are Negroes. It has a
heavy clinic load, second only
to the tax-suppirted Cook county
hospital, of $500, and handles an
average of 1000 emergency cases
a month.
A U. S. Public Health survey
estimated that Ga percent of the
people served in the hospital can
not pay the full cost of medical
care. The actual cost to the hos
pital for such care is $3.50
day, but the city, county and
state agencies pay only about SO
a day.
Fred x. Hoehler, chairman OF
Mayor Kennelly's emergency com
mittee for the hospital and execu
tive director of the Chicago Com
munity Fund. outlined at the meet
ing the dangers besetting tbs
hospital. He pointed out that i
it should have to close because
of lack Of funds, the burden O
caring for its patients would hav.
