Mental Patients Decrease
Al Hospitals for Veterans

For the first time Gin many years"
mental patients now are being dis
charged from Veterans hospitals
faster than new patients are being
admitted, the Veterans Administra-
ton revealed today.
During the 10-month period from
July. 1947, to April, 194S, . total Of
81 ,270 mentally i'll veterans were dis
charged from veterans hospitals
while, during the same period, ad-
missions totaled 51,210.
But the picture for 4 12-month

out-go. From July 1916 to April

patients discharged as cured or i'm
proved totaled 106,694.
Attributing the latest encouraging

contributing to the latest develop
ment.
Among these factors, the use Of
insulin and electric shock treat
r1ent, introduction Of surgery, estab-
lishment of research centers into

listed as contributing to the grow
ing success in treating veterans.

celebrations Recognized lead
ers such as Ashley [. Totten,
president of the American Vir-
gin Islands Civic Association
taking part in the local pro-
grams could go a long way in
helping to unite the two
groups and bring about the
type Of cooperation from
which many benefit. Let US
not overlook these opportuni-
ties.
THE time is still ripe. An
overall Virgi Islands planning
committee meeting two or
three times could very well
work out the program. Then
the two islands could work on
their own individual programs.
In any program calling for
s# -EH
participation BY the entire
group, the work will have to
be done by, and in the name
of the Virgin Islands, and
hence the overall committee,
Or working group. We see
great possibilities for these Is
lands in the Centennial ceIe-
brations, possibilities which
could serve us long after the
program is over. Let us not
let this chance slip through
our fingers.

Make The Celebrations National

c before we ventured to suggest that the Centennial
celebrations in the Virgin Islands should be moved out Of the
purely local aspect and made a national affair. In so doing we
were fully conscious Of the implications and the responsible
ties, but a moment of thought will show that such a move is
fully juStifiable. We are a part of the American scene, but I'M
fortunately, because we are little known, we do not cash in on
the benefits to be derived from being a part Of that scene.
The Centennial celebrations would be a most excellent oppor-
tunity, and there is still time.
O such an occasion the Secretary of the Interior and
other officials from Washington should be invited to take
part. The occasion warrants it. Nor would the question of ex-
pense enter since these officials could come in that capacity.
WE are directly under the Department of the Interior,
and nothing could be more appropriate than to have the Secre-
tary of that Department highIght some part Of the ceIebra-
tions. Further, he would become the official representative of
the Federal Government to the occasion.
and take part in the celebrations would be the presence of
American newspapermen, whose work could be invaluable to
us at this time. The more the American public knows of us,
IN the right light, the greater are our chances for receiving the
necessary attention from the Federal government. Nor should
our brothers in race on the continent be overlooked Journal
lists such as Lem Graves Of the Pittsburgh Courier, P. B.
Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, and other represen-
tatiyes of the Chicago Defender and the New York Amster-
dam News would be welcome figures in these Islands cover
ing the celebrations. The Negro vote is highly important in
America, and our alignment with that vote can speak the kind
of language which win be heard in the places where it will
serve its greatest purpose.
COMING closer home is the idea of having native Vr-
gin Islanders on the mainland send representatives to the

Thumbs Down On Amending Jones Shipping Act
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

((H) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The mar itime commission has turned thumbs down on legislation to amend the Jones Act to permit Canadian vessels to carry passen- gers and freight between Alaskan ports.
 Bills designed to amend the law to permit foreign vessels to serve Alaskan ports were sent to the commission for comment by the congressional committees to which they were referred. Admiral w. w. Smith, chairman of the com- mission, opposed the proposals in report to the House merchant marine and fisheries committee.
 "The enactment of this bill would have the effect of permit ting foreign operators of foreign flag ships, particularly Canadian ships, to participate in this traffic because of lower operating costs," Smith said.
 "It would also make it desirable for United States ship owners either to substitute foreign flag ships or seek authority to trans

Many Questions Confront Congress In Final Session
(By William x. Arbogast)

WASHINGTON (P)-Questions bearing vitally on the future of the United States and most of the world confront the 80th Congress meeting tomorrow for its final session.
 Help for Europe and Asia, tax cutting, the high cost of living, rent control and the housing shortage, military preparedness and health insurance are a few of the top issues; and the list prob ably will grow.
 A complicating factor is that this is a general election year. Democrats want to regain the con- trol of Congress they lost to the COP in l946. The Republicans hope to put their Presidential nominee in the White House for the first time since Franklin D. Roosevelt started his first term in 1883.
 The first week of the new seS- sion will be devoted primarily to speechmaking and strategy hud- dies by Congressional leaders, with a few committees starting to lay the groundwork for future legislative actions.
 The Senate Republican policy committee and the House Repub- lican steering committee will meet during the week for deci- sions whill will go far toward shaping the majority party's leg islative program to counter the proposals President Truman will outline Wednesday in his annual tate-of-the-union message.
 The chief executive will go to the Capitol in person to deliver that message to a joint session of the Senate and House. His econo- mic report on Friday and his bud get message next Monday will be delivered by messenger.

Train Hits Sled:
 Kills 10 Children

ARCHBOLD, o. (PD-"I thought the track was clear" Jesse Wyse said today in explaining how the New York CentraPs "Chicagoan" passenger train smashed his farm bobsled, killing 10 children of three neighborS and seriously in- turing two others, one of them his daughter
 WySe and his l3-year-old son, John, whom the father believed "too young and inexperienced" to take the tractor drawn sled out himself were not hurt. The boy leaped to safety from the rear of the sled.
 II just stiffened in my seat on the tractor" the father said. "The train hit the sled, tore it loose from the tractor and hurled if down the tracks"
 The bobsled was scattered for a mile along the right-of-way east of this northwestern Ohio town Two of the victims were ground beneath the wheels of the train No train passengers were injured and it continued to Chicago after a 57-minute delay.
 By that time, witnesses said snow nearly had plotted out all evidence of the tragedy which oc- cured at l:30 pm. yesterday.
 Wyse planned originally to take the youngsters out Saturday, but was unable to do so until yester- day. His son, John, told state highway patrolmen he begged tc take the sled out himself but Dad said I was too young and in experienced"
 Wyse said he stopped at the crossing and thought the tracks | were clear.
 "I started up the tractor again and just as it was clearing the tracks, I saw the train bearing down on the sled," he continued Tt was horrible"
