The st. Croix Avis
Christiansted v. I.
Dear NE. Editor:

In reference to the recent controversy between t he
Chamber of Commerce and the Administration over a direc-
tive issued by the Wage Commissioner, / wish to saw. as !
businessman and a citizen of this community. that in nv
opinion, our newly organized Chamber of Commerce deserves
unanimous vote OF thanks. 1t has come out on top in a pitch
ed battle against the bureaucratic tendencies of j heretofore
unchecked Administration.
4 sincerely hope that the citizens Of 81. Croix will not he
misled by the Administrations cleyerly worded news release
indicating that the Chamber, Of Commerce NAV be guilty of
"obstructing the due process of law" To every clear thinking
citizen it must be obvious that the Administration muttered
this pathetic statement in a desperate effort to save face"
The directive which gave rise to this issue was pub. shed
several times in the AVIS. under the impressive heading:-
OFFICIAL PUBLICATION NO. 8 OF THE WAGE COM
MISSIONER OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ST. CROIXn
1t informed the public as follows:
TITS HEREBY DIRECTED that, all employers who come
within the jurisdiction of the Wage & Hour Law mention
ed above, shall file with the Wage Commissioner at his of
flee, Frederiksted, st. Croix, on or before May Is, 1850, a
full transcript of payrolls or wage records maintained by
said employers covering services rendered them during
the month of April 1850"
This illegal directive was published, presumably, with the
full approval Of the Office Of our Civil Administrator.
After the showdown, the following statement was re-
leased through the Office of Governor de Castro. published
in the AVIS. Tuesday. May 231
In the opinion Of the United States District Attorney, "the
Wage Commissioner does not have the authority to re-
quire employers to i furnish material such as payroll trans
cripts but that on the other hand the circumstances in this
case are such that further consideration should be given
to whether the Chamber Of Commerce may or may not
have been guilty Of obstructing due administration Of law
by advising its members not to comply with a directive
issued by an administrative officer without first attempt
ing to consult with appropriate branches Of the Govern
ment"
I am impressed with the irony Of the District Attorneys
statement.
In his opinion the Wage Commissioners acted without

Morse Advises COP,
Turn 10 1948 Platform
For Party Principles
BY the Associoted Press

Senator Morse. Republican, of
Oregon today urged his Repub-
lican colleagues to turn back to
the 1948 Republican platform in
their search for a statement of
party principles.
Republican Senators, caucusing
tomorrow, will discuss a move by
National Chairman Guy G..
Gabrielson to get such state
ment drafted for use in this years
congressional campaign.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
who heads the Senate Republican
group, said he had no objection.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Senate Policy Committee,
was expected to voice his views at
a news conference later in the
day.
Senator Morse, often a balky
horse in the Republican camp,
said he thinks any statement of
principles in which his party takes
a specific stand on specific issues
"is bound to be a step forward"
"At present." he added there
is no official Republican program
because so many Republicans in
Congress have by their actions
repudiated the fine program that
was offered in the 1948 Repub-
lican platform.
II have always been at a loss
TO understand why the Repub-
licans haven't backed up that
platform by uniting behind such
measures as the Taft housing bill,
the Taft aid to education bill and
some of the other Taft proposals
based on the sound principle of
Federal aid to the States"
Senator Morse said he made
this suggestion "as one who dis
agrees with Taft on a great many
issues but who approves of his at
tempt to implement the 1948 plat
FORM"

GoHwaId Says His Regime
Has Won Fiqht With Church
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Jan.
2. - CZechoslovakia's Communist
President Klement Gottwald said
in New Years Day message his
government had won it's fight with
the Catholic Church.
He charged that the fight was
started by the nations Catholic
bishops, with foreign support, to
overthrow the present regime.
All attempts by hostile foreign
capitalist countries" to sabotage
the regime have been beaten down.
Gottwald said.
He declared the bitter church.
state struggle had been settled
when the government put the
clergy on the government payroll,
making it possible "for them to de-
vote themselves exclusively to their
religious duties"
Although Gottwald said the
governments fight with the
church was over. Czech bishops
only few weeks ago still pro-
claimed their defiance of the
church-control laws which the
President claims brought about
the settlement.

Social Security Tax
Rises 10 Il PET. Rate

Pay checks from now on will
show a little deeper bite in the
deduction for Federal old-age
benefits.
With the beginning of the new
year the social security tax for
eld-age and survivors insurance
jumped from l per cent to 1h
per cent on the first $4,000 annual

Further increases are in sight.
A House-passed bill awaiting &C

Canadian Nation
 Wide Strike Ends

OTTAWA, R)-Canada's trains rolled and telegraph lines clicked again yesterday, ending a nine day nationwide strike.
 The first such general tie-up in the nations history was called off by union leaders last night just 19 minutes after a special govern ment back-to-work bill became law. It called for the strike to end in 48 hours.
 The vanguard of the 124,0O0 strikers responded promptly to the back-to-work call broadcast by strike leaders Frank H. Hall and A. R. Mosher. Roundhouses stirred into activity. Locomotives were fired. Switches and signals were inspected. Wire communications reopened.
 Canadian National and Canadi- an Pacific Railway officials indi- cated it would be 24 hours before operations were normal.

There are many other things
that might be said. Charleston

Charleston was also where Lud-

Israel Government Charged
With Undermining
Private Trade

TEL AVN, (JTA) = Charges
that private enterprise is being
Disseminated against in Israel
were voiced here this week at
conference called by the General
Merchants Association, attended
by 200 delegates representing
about 10000 merchants through
out the Jewish state.
Speakers at the conference
strongly criticized the present ra-
tioning system. The president of
the Association charged the Min
istry of Supply with giving pre-
ference to commercial establish
ments maintained by the Hista-
drut, Israel's Federation of Labor.
He also said that the government
is "disregarding the principle of
fair distribution of commodities
for private trade and industry"
