the House knocked out the abso-

appointments which would have
been effective from September l

AS a result, the old-line bureaus

ever it is deemed advisable, may
hire permanent status employees.
The House action to limit any
promotions in the Governments

Civilian Defense
Fund 10 $4,000
D. C.'s SOC, 900 PIeo
Cut in 141-73 Vote
After Approval Earlier
By Harold B. Roqers

The House. reversing itself, last
night slashed the Districts $780,
900 civil defense fund back to
$4,000.
The cut was made by a stand
ing vote of 141 to 70. The money
was carried in a $16.7 billion sup
Elemental appropriation bill which
the House sent to the Senate.
The vote reversed action taken
by the House Friday, when it was
sitting as a committee of the
whole. At that time, by a vote
of "a to 66, the House raised the
fund from 10000, to which it had
been cut by the Appropriations
Committee, to the full $290, 900
originally asked by the District
Commissioners.
But this tentative vote was SUBJ
ject to later confirmation by the
House when 1t passed the entire
supplemental appropriations bill.
District Plans Senate Appeal.
So, when the final vote came
last night, it cut the fund back
to $4,000. The House thus backed
its own appropriations committee.
When the slash to $4,000 first
appeared imminent, National Sc
curity Resources officials charged
with civil defense planning warned
the cut would "stymie" the Dis
trict's well-advanced plans for
civil defense. District officials said
they could do nothing but paper
planning with $4,000.
District officials, disappointed
at the slash. announced last night
they would appeal to the Senate
for the full 100000 fund.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
an early request would be for
warded to the Senate Appropria.
tions Committee for a hearing.
Problem to Be Discussed.
The problem will be discussed
soon. Mr.. Mason said. with Engi-
neer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young who is expected to return
to the city tomorrow morning.
I'VE need the money" said
Commissioner Mason, "or We
wouldn't have asked Congress to
appropriate it. We must go to
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee as soon as possible"
The Senate also will be asked
to restore some cuts made by
the House yesterday in several
other District funds in the sup
Elemental bill. AS sent to the
Senate, the District items in the
bill totaled $1.S95.516, a cut of
$822,098 from budget requests.
Senate action on the supple
mental bill is expected to follow
that on the big $36.1 billion omni-
bus bill, whose conference report
now awaits final Senate approval.
Other District Bills Approved.
The civil defense fund for the
District was the only city item
provoking debate on the House
floor yesterday as the House ap-
proved all other District recon-
mendations Of its appropriations
committee.

The omnibus bill also carried
about $14 billion for this country's

Adding the two bills together,
the House has voted a total of
about $32 billion for defense at

half of the total budget for all

Bridges esDefenseSeek
To Prove u. ). Paid
.Ex-Red for Testimony
By The Assoeioied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. q
Harry Bridges defense today
sought to prove that former
Communist became a key witness
for the Government after being
wooed by money and influence.
Called back for a third day of
cross-examination at Bridges per-
jury trial, Mervin Rathborne con-
tinued to trace contacts with
Government immigration agents
dating back to early in 1948.
Bridges, CIO longshoremen's
leader, is accused of committing
perjury by denying at his natural
ization hearing htat he ever was
Communist. Rathborne in di-
rect examination said he saw
Bridges at numerous Communist
meetings, including one with Earl
BroWder at an American Krem-
lin" in New York.
Cross-examination yesterday by
Defense Attorney Vincent Halli-
nan brought out:
l. The Government thought so
highly of Rathborne that it paid
his way to Washington where Tom
Clark, then Attorney General,
asked him to do his duty and tes-
tify against Bridges.
2. Because the Government
wanted him available. it persuad-
ed him to quit his $120-a week job
as radio officer on the ship, Presi-
dent Madison, and go on the Gov
ernment payroll at the same fig
ure. He's on it now.
8. Since 1948, immigration Of
f1cers have held scores of meetings
with Rathborne.
Mr.. Hallinan earlier had at
tackled the credibility of Rath-
borne by pointing to the witness
admission he twice had perjured
himself before investigating COM
mittees by denying, on orders of
Communist Party higherups, that
he was a Communist. Rathborne
said he quit the party by choice.

MONDAY, o %, 1850
UNITED NATIONS DAY

THE IMPORTANCE OF United Nations Day, October
24th, can not be over-estimated. 1t is a day dedicated to the
concerted effort to bring that important world body to the at
.tentlon Of all and to marshall opinion for its effective exis-,
tence. As all over the world, the people of the Virgin Islands
are vitality concerned with the progress of the United Nations,
& are willing to offer any support they can. There is as much
local interest as may be found anywhere.
BECAUSE OF THE world situation, and the division in
to two camps the importance of the United Nations becomes
all the more apparent. Some have commended that that body
is serving no purpose; that it is without real power to bring
any nation to task for any aggressive act; that it is but a forum
where diplomats have an opportunity to make speeches. But
the United Nations is more than that. First, it offers the unique
opportunity for an exchange Of ideas. Second, it crystalizes
world opinion, so that any single nation or group of nations
will naturally hesitate before going counter to that organized
opinion. Third, though there are sharp differences, the oppor-
tunity to solve problems p~eaceably does much to avert armed
clashes. And if for no other reasons than these, the United
Nations serves a vitality important purpose.
THEN THAT BODY goes further, taking direct, effec-
tive part in the political, social and health aspects Of many
groups. For example, the Division of Non-Self Governing
Groups Of which former District Attorney James A. Bough is
Director, sees to it that these groups have an opportunity to
air their grievances, and solutions are attempted. It is such
departments that will eventually force the plight Of the South
African native before that world body.
AGAIN THIS YEAR, as last our people will gladly OBJ
serve United Nations Day, and again this paper takes pleasure
in helping to call attention to the observance. Probably not
ing the efforts of this paper, a small group in New York last
year threw credit in a direction from which no comment had
come. In this day and time little concern should be expressed
for anything less than the main, overall objective, since results
are what count. In a world which is sharply divided along
vastly different concepts of freedom, anything done to help

Dear Mr.. Brodhurst;

We, the Faculty and students
OF CHS. wish to take this oppor-
tunity to express our thanks and
appreciation for what you have
offered to do for us this year. The
granting of space for our use in
your paper will make it possible
for both students and citizens to
become familiar with the many &C
tlvities that go on at the school
each year. Our aim in accepting
your offer of this space is to bring
to the notice of all who can read
not our problems alone but a re-
cord of the many things we do in
school that the public is not aware
OF. That we work under difficult
ties in sub-standard buildings
should be apparent to all, but the
fact that we do a good job under
the circumstances is not always
brought home. Without the pro-
per tools to work with no nj
can do a perfect job. All we ask is
the tools we cannot make our
selves, for we do improvise many
teaching aids in sheer desperation.
In the pages to follow we will
aim to tell the world our accom-
plishments. # necessary we may
have to print the reasons why we
fail to do our best. What we do
want to say is that we try to do
the best we can. This year the Fa-
Guilty has had more meetings so
far than were held all last year,
in an attempt to find out what can
be done to get better results from
our efforts. We shall have more
such meetings as time goes on.
What comes out of these discus
sions will doubtless appear in the
School page. Again, thank you
for your cooperation and generosi-
ty in making this page possible.
