CORRESPO
Dear Mr.. Brodhurst;

oAA4SC IO14l11lS W ~. OIO1A dL
the beginning Of the school
year I have read your editori-
ais with interest. It is good to
find a crusading Editor these
days when most papers repre-
sent vested interests and slant
the news accordingly,
| was particularly interested
in your piece on the schools
Of st. Croix, since l now vital
ly concerned in the matter. /
accompanied the members Of
the School Board on their in
spection trip recently and help
ed Principal Markoe point out
not only the lack of space but
the bad conditions prevailing
in buildings, such as leaking
roofs, defective wiring, rotting
wood and snsanitary toilets.
The general public has no idea
how bad the schools really
are, how neglected and made
quate. 1t is a scandal in truth,
but | as a newcomer do not
want to point a finger in any
direction for | do not know
the whole of the story.
What / do want to ask is
that you pay a visit in person
to the schools and then l am
sure you will want to write
many articles until the matter
becomes a public issue and
something is done about it in
place Of promised new schools
that never materalize.
If | may be permitted l
would like to ask that you give
some publicity also to my de-
partment, that of Manual Arts.
Together with Mr.. Minnard
Jones / am trying to build
scratch a better and more COM
prehensive Manual Arts pro-
gram than has ever been done
before. We | ack tools and
equipment, our salaries are
not what they should be for
the type of work we
do, but that is a statement only
not a complaint. | agreed to
work for that amount because
I am interested in the pro-
blem of proper training of
youths in the island of St.
Croix. I love it here and hope
to make it my home. What l
want to see is the Smith, uges
act extended to the the Virgin
Islands. In that way better
salaries moro finds and hot
, 1949-11-09

to have the acts benefits.
There is subject matter for
plenty Of editorials!
Ii you visit the schools in
the near future I hope I can
meet and talk with you. Since
| also work evenings at the
Veterans School | do not have
a chance to come down and see
you. That is why l. am writ
ing you at this time.
Keep up the good work on
your newspaper and I am sure
something will be done about
this school matter.
With best wishes for your
continued good work, 1 am
Sincerely yours

HAMILTON. N. r., Apr. 23.--
R-William G. Bullitt foresees war
and struggle for survival for the
United States.
The former u. S. Ambassador to
Russia and France asserted last
night that since the end of World
War Two it has been this nations
practice ito entrust our foreign re-
laticns to amateurs with good in
tentions and small knowledge Of
fact"
1T is tragically clear" he said,
that war is coming to the United
States"
The late President Franklin d.
Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins, as
Secretary of Commeic e, evolved a
plan ito give Stain everything he
asked during the war, asking moth
ing in return" Bullitt said.
The aim, Bullitt added, was to
persuade the Russian leader to ac-
cept Christian ways and demo-
cratic principles. The result is
that the United States now faces
struggle mot for security but
for survival" he declared.

PLANE CRASH.
TRIAL RULED
AS MISTRIAL
Mention OF an Insurance
Company Causes At-
lion, Seattle Judge

SEATTLE, April 23.--lR-- An at
orney's mention of an insurance
company caused a $4,000 damage
action against Alaska Airlines to
be declared mistrial by U. S.
District Judge John G. Bowen.
The Judge said he based his ruiz
ing on his Interpretation of pre-
yious court opinions that mention
before jury that defendant is
insured is prejudicial.
Bowen also ordered the cases OF
Raymond r. Smith and Mr.. and
Mrs Ralph Tracey, plaintiff, sep
arated for new trial, but set no
trial date. The reference to an
insurance company was made by
Smiths attorney.
The suits were an outgrowth of
an Alaska Airlines plane crash in
which nine persons were killed
November 30, 1887.
