full of becoming absorbed by the
Puerto Ricans if the resident com

the authority to handle the affair:
of the Virgin Islands.
l am sure that you are aware
of the fact that st. Croix the lar
gest and most agricultural of the
three islands are now face to face
with the problem of an incoming
Puerto Rican population which
threatens to outnumber the ma
tives ten to one within the next
five years. What is true of the is
land of st. Croix will be true. of
the island of st. Thomas if your
Bill passes.
This would mean the entire loss
of Virgin Island identity and
would deny a highly intelligent
and ambitious people the equal
right to the enjoyment of demo
cracy to which they are entitled.
Mainland natives who have lived
here for a period of years and who
are hoping eventually to return
and give of their years of expert
ence>in the American way Of life
to the islands and their people
would never be reconciled to a
Bill which in the very face of ii
serves as a barrier to such a wor-
thy intent.
1t was unfortunate that the 80th
Congress killed the Bill to give
the native people of the Virgin Is
lands a resident commission. It is
our understanding that the rea-
sons setforth were that the popu-
lation is not large enough to war
rant a commissioner.
In this connection / wish to
state that if and when due consi-
deration is given by Congress to
a rehabilitation program which
will encourage natives to return
to the islands and not to leave in
large numbers as they have been
doing in recent years / am sure
that the need for a resident COM
missioner would appear more glar
to pessimistic minds than it
does now.

elected rehabilitation program
should also include some three

POultrymen Urged
To Properly Dispose
OF Dead Birds

POultrymen and professors are
urged by County Agent William HI.
Henderson to properly dispose of
dead birds as a step designed to
reduce mortality in Sussex Coun-
ty flOcks during 1949.
In stressing the Importance Of
this practice, it was pointed out
that with an average mortality of
10 to IA per cent in broiler fiOcks
and approximately II per cent in
laying fiocks, failure to dispose of
those birds promptly and properly
poses a real menace to the entire
industry.
Burning or burying dead chick
ems is probably one of the surest
way of preventing the spread of
disease from this source. While it
is true that if properly handled and
Milford chronicle., 1949-01-28

processed, these dead birds can be
used as a valuable source Of meat
scrap for live stock feed. Under
present conditions, however, there
apparently is no practical means Of
making farm collections, which
would enabled them to prOcessed
economically.
It would seem highly desirable
for poultry organizations and
others interested in the welfare of
the industry to seriously consider
this problem and during 1949 at
tempt to develop some plan which
would aid in its solution.

defend the lurid violence of the comics on the basis that they provide fantasy outlet for childrens ag- gressve instincts One professor of psychology told the National Congress of Parents and Teachers the other day that writers of comics sometimes more sensitive to the struggles of children than are many parents.
 We are wee bit tired of such talk. It arouses our own aggressive instincts-as 1t apparently dlo among many of the delegates to the congress. Our experience is that it is usually precisely those parents who least sensitive to their chlldrens struggles who least concerned about the steaoy draught of crime, horror and banalty being poured out to the young at dime gulp.
 It may be that many healthy minded children survive this fare with relatively little damage, as their parents have survived the far mier shockers of the past But the number who are encouraged by the comics to turn their aggressive instincts into action or merely to accept violence the normal method of settling dispute has not been calculated

and one editorial in local Wash ington newspaper followed Nichols conversation almost verbatim.
 Nichols is the same alert busy body who shuttled back and forth between the FBI and Capitol Hill last summer when it was a good bet the Republicans were going to win in November. He seemed al most as much at home in the office of Congressman Parnell Thomas, chairman of the American Ac- tivities Committee, as the Congress- man himself. CThomas is now un- der indictment in a kickback scan- dal)
 Nichols also was chummy with COP. Senator Ferguson of Mich igan, bitter foe of the Justice De- paitment. In fact, Lou was credit ed with slipping Ferguson the Eliz- abeth Bentley spy data, and was SC active that some Capitol observers were unkind enough to say Lou was playing his cards to become chief of the FBI once the Republicans took office-though this observer has never detected anything but strict devotion to his FBI chief.

 Hoover said he guessed the At torney General was right. He add ed that publication of the FBI paper in court was now water over the dam, but he would be dead op- posed to producing the top secret document.
 Clark said he heartily agreed, and that if the judge ruled this report had to be published, then he would appeal to a higher court, and if overruled there, then he would move to dismiss the case. Since then, Judge Reeves has ruled that this top-secret document was not to be produced)
 The conversation was completely cordial throughout, as have been relations between Hoover and Clark ever since Clark became Attorney General. While Hoover has some times differed with other Attorney Generals, he and Clark have been close friends ever since Clark was assistant Attorney General in charge of the criminal division.
