In my inaugural address I

In my inaugural address I
outlined a program of obiec-
tlves and goals designed to i'm
prove and advance the general
welfare of the people Of the
Virgin Islands. / listed such
items as planning, housing, de-
~partmental organization, pub
lie finance and taxation, labor
relations, commerce and indus
try, agriculture, public works,
health, education, social well
fare, and tourism. / also out
lined a program of Congress
sional legislation. With your
permission, | shall now report
to you the progress or lack of
progress made in the several
fields just mentioned since the
day of my Inauguration,
March "a, 1850.
AS a tribute to our President
and leader of our Nation, and
with the concurrence Of the
Municipal Council of Saint
Thomas & St. John, our air
port was renamed the Harry
S. Truman Airport" This was
the first legislative item which.
/ recommended to the Munich
pal Council. It is my privilege
personally to present the en-
crossed Resolution to Presi-
dent Truman shortly after my
Inauguration. A contract has
been awarded to fence the run
way and to provide the neces-
sary safety lights. This project
has been made possible
through the matching Of fed
eral funds with municipal
funds under the Federal Air.

Mr.. Chairman and Members of

you today, I am conscious of
the significance of this my first
appearance before this honor
able body of Legislators in my
capacity as Governor of the
Virgin Islands. AS this session
of the Fifteenth Legislative
Assembly opens with a full
agenda of important bills, l
think you and / have a SPLEEN

Der judgment, critical analy-
sis, and constructive action,
that the people of the Virgin
Islands are fully capable Of
self-government.
| should like my annual mes
sage to the Legislative Assem-
bly, to be something more than
a review of the legislative
items to be considered. / want
this message to be a report to
you and, through you, to the
people of the Islands, on what
we are doing and what should
be done for the political, eco
nomic, an dsocial advance
ment of the Islands.
Let me first say that to pro-
vide good, sound, and honest
government there is a manage
ment job to be done. If our pub
lie services are to be admins
tered efficiently, the chief exc
cutive must rightly assume
full responsibility for planning
organizing, controlling and co

My job, therefore, is to see
that things get done, to use the
facilities of the Government to
carry out the program deter
mined by the joint action of
the legislature and executive
branches of tn government.
Experience has shown that the
success Of democracy requires
a division of labor between
those who determine what
shall be done, namely, the le-
g1slators; an dthose charged
with the duty Of carrying out
the policy, namely, the execu-
tive.
In my inaugural address, 1
stated that we shall have no
obstacle to harmonious work
ing relationships if each coor-
dinate branch of our govern
ment respects the opinions &
clearly delinnates the sphere
of the activity of the other
branch. We have had some diff
ferences on principles during
the past few months-differ-
ences which are a wholesome
growth Of vigorous interest in
community affairs and prob
lems-but I am happy to re-
cord that, in the main, the ex-
pressions of those differences

Death for Retreating Red
A captured Communist general
order showed the North Korean
command had ordered death to any
soldier who retreats. In view of
this, the U. N. forces stepped up
the distribution of propaganda
leaflets offering safety to those
who surrender. Capture of Red
troops has become relatively easier
in recent days.
While the Reds have apparently
shifted two or more divisions east
ward in the north for another
thrust at Taegu, they still may have
81 xother divisions in the area
around Taegu, or another $4,000
men. Their attacks, however, have
begged down against successful
allied holding actions.
