Mr.. Ben Gurion also insisted
that in some respects Israel was
not yet a nation. To support
this thesis he pointed to the fact
that the majority of the Jews live
outside of the Jewish state while
the inhabitants of the state are
not yet homogeneous. Soldiers
of Israel's Army, he stated, are:
natives of SIS different nations.
The historical process of the ma
tionalization of the Jews has
been too long delayed, he declar-
ed, adding that ISraePs youth
must be good pioneers and good
soldiers and must be turned into
one nation with a common Ian

EVERYONE O o. Woo ~RE-CHARTER
1T is INDEED gratifying that a glimmer of light has
come through in the form of possibilities for the re-chartering
of the Virgin Islands Company. Representative Fred Crawford
on his recent visit here expressed optimism that the Company
would be rechartered, and for us, that means a lot. At this
time the Virgin Islands Company represents the greatest posi-
sibility for economic stability Of the Islands. 1t is the hub
around which revolves much of the agricultural development
Of this island, and since its beginning has come to be a symbol
of the industry on which St. Croix prospered. Though times
have changed considerably and sugar production may not be
what it once was, yet there is still the possibility of turning
cane production into an industry from which much may be
gained.
IT is COMMON knowledge that without the Virkin Is
lands Co. our agricultural status would be tragic. Before the
chartering OF the Company, the largest estates on the Island
had turned their lands to cattle raising, requiring the employ
ment of very few men. This was caused by the high cost of.
labor, the uncertainty of the market, and so-called weather
conditions. 1t became necessary, then, for the government to
subsidize the growing of cane. Yet, the Virgin Islands were no
different from any other portion over which Old Glory flies,
for many an American product is subsidized, including the
sugar beet, and cotton. There was the time when Gotten was
burned in order to maintain any kind of price, for the market
was being gutted, and the product cost more to produce than
what it could be sold for. It is therefore, nothing unusual if
ue government PROVIDES employment, and keeps our agr1cul-
tre going, even if til necessary to do so via a subsidy.
MOST POLITICIANS look with disfavor upon this type
of project, but we are confident that when all the facts, and
figures, are in, and presented by the Department of which
MI. Derricksen is an official, it will be seen that the re-charter-
ing of the Virgin Islands Company is a most worthy project,
and should be given the go-ahead signal quickly. 1t means
mere to the morale and self-respect of a people to have them
ganfuly employed, rather than to subject them to a dole

CIO Union Hostile; AFL Seaman Quits

SEATTLE, (P) - A bitter dis pute over jurisdiction of Marine Steward personnel grew more tense Friday as an American Fed eration of Labor unionist quit a ship which hired him only the day before.
 Marvin l.. Lantz, who had ship ped on the Alaska Steamship com pany's Coastal Monarch, told a national labor relations board hearing that the reception he re- ceived aboard ship from a mem Der of a rival union was "extreme- ly hostile"
 The remainder of the ships steward department belongs to the national union of marine cooks and stewards, CIO affiliate, which has the contract with the steam ship company.
 Lantz was one of four members of the AFL Pacific Marine Stew ards union which were employed Wednesday by the company. The other three were hired for the s. s. Denali, which did not arrive in port until late Thursday.
 Waterfront observers were anx- iously awaiting develop m n s aboard that vessel.
 During crOSs-eXaminatiOn, Ed ward c. Osbrin of Bogle, Bogle and Gates, company counsel. said nont of the foud had been dis patched from the AFL hall.
 All had been hired as result of individual applications they had made to the company, in accord ance wit ha company statement is sued three weeks ago, he said.
 The statement was made at the start of an NLRB hearing on charges of unfair labor practices against the CIO union and ship ping companies, based on allega- tions made by the AFL union.
 The hearing has been recessed by trial examiner Robert l.. Piper until January 4.

Sentence Marshal VOn Manstein To l8 Years

HAMBURG, (P) - A British military court today sentenced former Field Marshal Erich von Manstein to 18 years imprisonment for atrocities against Poles and Russians committed by German troops during the war.
 Manstein, last of Hitler's gen. erals to be tried by the victorious Allies, declined to plead for mercy.
 Mastein was found guilty on nine specific charges and was ac- quilted on eight other counts. All grew out of alleged atrocities by German troops under his com mand during the Nazi invasion of Poland and Russia.
 The decision to try the German field marshal after such lengthy imprisonment had aroused much controversy in Britain. Wartime Prime Minister Winston Church i'll was among the prominent peo- pie who subscribed to a fund to provide English counsel to defend him.
 Three other German war lead CTS were also to have been tried by the British. But field marshal Walter von Brauchitsch died in captivity, and British army doc tors ruled that field marshal Gerd von Rundstedt and Col. Gen Adolf Strauss were unfit to stand trial. They were released.
 Manstein wa sthe 938th German to be tried by British military courts for war crimes and had been in captivity for more than four years before the British brought him to trial. The British have announced Manstein's trial ends war crimes prosecutions.

Allies Seek To Standardize Arms

LONDON, (P)-Britain, the Un- ited States and Canada announced today a plan for standardizing their arms and military training.
 The program is aimed at cor recting and eliminating technical differences which interfered with easy cooperation of the t h e powers in two world wars.
 Its purpose is to permit swift integration of their men and arms into a smoothly-functioning mili- tary machine in event of another international conflict.
 LeftiSt forces in Britain Op- posed this cooperation, and in parliamentary debates called the move towards arms Standardiza- tion an aggressive weapon aimed at Soviet Russia.
 In connection with the stan dardization studies there h e been frequent exchanges of mili- tary personnel between the two nations on operational levels.
 American pilots have been as signed to fly and study Britain'S jet bombers. At the same time British and Canadian officers have worked in developing and flying many American planes. Similar exchanges have been made in the other branches of the armed services.
 These arrangements will in sure that in time of necessity there will be no material or tech nical obstacles to full cooperation among tn e armed forces con cerned and the greatest possible economy in the use of combined resources ad effort will be ob- tained," the ministry of defense said.
 It added that mo treaty, execu- tive agreement or contractual ob- ligation has been entered into by the participating nations"

Judge Denies Bid For Mistrial In Bridges Case

SAN FRANCISCO, LP) - Thc. perjury trial of longshore leader Harry Bridges recessed Saturday for the weekend after the defense made an unsuccessful bid for mis- trial and another have chief pros ecutor F Joseph Donahue cited for misconduct.
 The motions were made, and denied, after federal judge George B. Harris agreed with defense at torney Vincent Hallinan that tes- timony communists once discussed possible expulsion of Bridges from the party would be hearsay and thus not admissible as evidence.
 The testimony was offered by Paul Crouch, a professed ex-com- munist.
 Hallinan based his motions on the charge that Donahue's words on the alleged expulsion" move were intended to reach jurors through newspapers.
