: OF ELECTION CAMPAIGNS

~ LLLS4AON lam AlIEINO
THEY TELL me current election campaigns in the Viz
gin Islands are hot and vitrioic and that no holds are barred.
It that's SO, then the Virgin Islands have achieved American
ism in the mainland manner, at least in this regard. No better
proof than the current campaign which clmaxed with Elec-
ton Day.
It's a case OF anything to win, anything to embarras the
opponent and his party, anything to lure Cor confuse) the mere
voter. For the time being the implications of Korea and Tibet
Soviet tactics in the UN, the state of the Nation are all Sc
condary-ot no moment compared with the desire to capture
some office. In fact, things have reached such a pass that the
more responsible laymen are concerned that the net result Of
the campaign may be a loss to the prestige of government by
the people.
IF A L OF the charges raised by the candidates
against each other is true, then the candidates ultimately
elected, in the words of the New York Times, must emerge
from this nightmare of immersion in bilingsgate thoroughly
ashamed of themselves, their s~elfrespect shattered"
NOT ONLY are the historic charges of radical" (now
Communist) @reactionary" and @grafter" being hurled far and
wide, but charges of alliances with crime and gangsters, Of
mishandling funds or lodging taxes are much in the air-some
of these charges in language that cant be repeated in print
Some candidates offices have been burglarized by opponents,
so it is charged; some party machines are. employing strong
arm men to insure that only the safe" people vote, it is
claimed. Or. the other hand, New Yorks mayor has ordered
arrest of all Migrants and known lawbreakers until after
Election Day.
IN NEW YORK, Ohio and California-and the areas be-
tween-the spirit Of the campaign is so vituperative that it
will be surprising if the coming Election does not break all,
records for violence.
THE TIMES calls the present campaign certainly one Of
the dirdest of recent lears" and believes that Many decent
people must become 50 disguised with this phenomenon of de
mocracy that they will stay away from the polls

Dodgers May Disclose
Fronf.0ffice Plan Today
BY the Assoeiated Press

BROOKLYN. Nov. 2.-The
Brooklyn Baseball Club called g
press conference for 3 pm. today
presumably to announce the new
front Office setup.
A general manager was ex-
pected to be named to succeed
Branch hickey, who pulled out
after disposing of his 25 per cent
stock.
Fresco. Thompson, head of the
Dodgers sprawling farm opera
tions, is reported to have the
inside track for the job.
Another theory is that the
Dodgers may not name a general
manager but may divide the re-
sponsibilities between two men.
1t is thought Thompson would
handle player personnel and Emile
(Buzzy) Bavasi, now general man
ager at Montreal, would take care

setup.

Kidney AiIment Causes Death
OF Fielding, Hoyos| Track Star

Funeral arrangements were
being made today for Jim Field
ing, one of the most promising
trackmen enrolled at Georgetown
University in recent years. who
died last night at the university
hospital after brief illness.
Burial probably will be Satur-
day at Metuchen, N. j., Fielding's
home town, and members of the
Georgetown track team are ex-
pected to attend. A cross country
meet with Seton Hall, scheduled
the same day at Van Cortlandt
Park in New York, probably will
be cancelled, Track Coach Frank
Sevigne said.
Director Of Athletics Jack
Hagerty paid high tribute to the
|21-year-old track star, who sue
|cumbed from a kidney ailment
after being in the hospital about
"a week.
"He was a wonderful boy and
a great credit to Georgetown"
Hagerty said. "His death Is a
terrific shock to us"
Hagerty,s words were echoed by
Sevigne. q close friend Of the dead
youth and the only coach Fielding
ever had. Sevigne believed Field
ing. a sprinter, was potential
Olympic material and was point
ing him for the 1852 games.
They first met at Seton Hall
Prep School in New Jersey, where
Fielding, under Sevigne's direction,
captured the national scholastic
titles for the so, 100 and 220-yard
dashes. His best time for the CEN
tury was 60 seconds. Last spring
Fielding established new Hilltop
mark of 9.7 for the distance.
Fielding followed his coach when
Sevigne came to Georgetown three
years ago.
A sophomore. majoring in social
science, Fielding this year won the
District AAU 100 and 220 yard
crowns and gained national ac-
claim by winning the Boston K.
of c. 50-yard dash and The
Evening Star Games 100-yard
crown. In the latter race he
equalled Joe Cianciabella' record
of 9.8.
Fielding's triumphs were earned

1t is the Forest Services policy
to keep the people informed on its
various activities. Each week
this column will publish the num-
Der of fires fought, the loss of for
est land in acres. and the actual
damage done in dollars and cents.
Due to the fact that Holmes coun-
ty has had sleet, snow and ample
rainfall the fire crews have fought
only nine fires in Holmes at this
date. The total acres burned was
1855. The amount of forest land
burned was A. The amount of
non-forest land burned was 112.
The total damage was $l65. There
have been more than nine fires
but only one crew was on duty
and they couldn't locate and fight
all the fires that occurred in the
county. Holmes now has three
crews on duty and expects to have
both fire towers and one more
crew in operation by the first of
January. Dick Burkley will be
the dispatcher in the Lexington
tower. The towerman for Pro-
violence tower will be M. B. Beck

In the last week IL movies have
been shown to the forest guardian
clubs, vocational schools, and col
ored schools in the county. The
movie showed how easily forest

careless. No one can be too care

ers will be eligible for old-age and
survivors insurance. In response
to this card, the employer will
receive the special form and the
few instructions she will need for
her employees wages and for re-
uniting the Social Security tax.
Not all domestic employees will
be eligible for Social Security;
consequently not all household
employers will need to mail in the
post card contained in the book
let. Those who have a maid not
more than one day week will
not make a report on that en-
ployee. Housewives who have
household worker on at least two
different days a week, however,
need the report form.
Any household employee who
works for you on at least "a diff
ferent days in a calendar quarter
meets the days-of-work condition
for social security. They need
not be full days. For instance, if
you have a maid one morning to
do the laundry, and on the after
noon Of another day of the same
week to clean house or get the
dinner, she will have worked for
you on two different days in that
week. If that is her regular week
ly schedule, she will have worked
for at least "a days in the calendar
quarter.
Does the reference to "calen-
dar quarter" puzzle you? Well, it

The business meeting was for
the purpose of discussing the

cussion concerning the type of
building desired, a committee
was appointed TO look into the
approximate cost of a log house.
A financial committee was
appointed to secure pledges and

project could be secured. The
Rev. o. j. Grindheim said sew
eral pledges were received at
one and others will be given an
opportunity to pledge on Easter
