LET'S DEVELOP VOCATIONAL TRAINING

LET'S DEVELOP VOCATIONAL TRAINING
THE SPECIAL. Vocational Project which is being nlan-
ned should be given every possible cooperation by all citizens
throughout the Islands. No one can deny that there IS great
need for trained and skilled mechanics, but unfortunately
neither the schools nor any projects have yet come up with
an adequate program. In a statement of conditions relative
to the project, Charles S. Duke has made definite suggestions,
and based the need for the program upon the growing pub
lie works projects, principalo Of which are the water and sewer
facilities.
SOMEHOW THESE Islands, for some unexplained rea-
son never enjoyed the benefits of either the Smith-Hughes or
the Smith7Leyer Acts, and vocational education has been very
noticeably lacking from our school system. An excellent at
tempt was made at the Vocational Institute, but that, ike 50
much else that is good for this place, faded out. If one stops
to look around he will wonder how these Islands, in this day
and time, with living standards as high as they are, can sur
vive without definite plans for training skilled mechanics.
Now, an opportunity is being presented in the Vocational
Project, and every effort should be made to follow through.
I'll SIGNIFICANT that reference is made to the need
for cooperation from professional men and others, and the
coordination of the work of several departments. Ii is to be
noted also that public interest is sought, as part of the ground
work, for without public support and understanding little
can be accomplished. In short, the public must see and know,
and realize the need for such a project, and once that in
terest becomes manifest, the rest should be easy.
WHEN ONE realizes that thezlack Of skilled mechanics
is offered as an excuse for calling in men from outside and
side-stepping natives, the need for this Project becomes more
apparent. More and more cars are appearing on the roads,
the Virgin Islands Corporation uses tractors and other me-
chancal equipment, and the water and sewer projects are (or
will be- bigger than expected, and the maintenance Of al
these lis a factor to be reckoned with. Our young men, who
prepare themselves will find profitable employment, and ii
addition to that vii. be in a position to make a valuable con
tibution to the social and economic welfare of this place.

Unions motives. Was it one of
Russia's startling diplomatic shifts,
they asked? Or was the tentative
embrace which Soviet FOREIGN
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky gave
the plan in the 60-nation Political
Committee intended as the kiss of
death?
Puzzled diplmats were waiting
for a major Vishinsky policy
speech, which may come today. to
clarity the situation.
The plan itself. called UNITED
Action for Peace" is formaliza.

20 proposals, which the State De-
partment's Republican advise,
John Foster Dulles called the
logical sequence" of the lessons
learned in Korea. Its main points
are:
l. Emergency sessions of the
veto-free General Assembly when
ever the Security Council, which
has the primary responsibility TO,
preserving peace. is hamstrung by
veto.
2. Peace patrols Of observers to
report to the Assembly on acts Of
aggression.
8. Designation by q. N. men,
bers of specific units of their
armed forces to be placed at the
disposal Of the U. N. in times OF
crisis.

made no mention of casualties.
MIR. Barbour refused to accept
the note on the grounds the pro-
test was a matter for the United
Nations to handle.
Mr.. Gromyko disagreed, arguing
that since the note dealt with the
firing by American planes on a
Soviet installation, it was the sole
concern Of the two governments
involved.
The note subsequently was sent
by the Russians to the United
States Embassy. American Am
bassador Alan G. Kirk, who had
been in bed with cold, went there
early this morning to inform the
State Department of the Soviet
communication.
(The State Department said
the Russian note was delivered
to the American Embassy at 8
am. Moscow time and that
Ambassador Kirk returned it to
the Russian Foreign Office at
IL am. by messenger.)
The note was published In Mos
COW papers without editorial COM
ment.

test with the Government of the
United States" the note said.
In refusing to accept the note,
MIR. Barbour took the same stand
taken by the United States last
month, when Russia protested the
downing of Soviet plan by Amer
lean aircraft off Korea.
That note was never accepted
by the United States, and Russia
submitted it to the United Ma

Of major scandals arising out Of
such transactions.
The jobbers, who bought the
surplus for a few cents on the
dollar, could charge whatever they
liked in selling 1t back. There is
no law to the contrary.
Discussed In Senate.
A discussion of the surplus situ-
alton came up before the Senate
Appropriations Committee just be-
fore Congress quit work.
Quartermaster Corps officers
said their legal advice was that
the goods could be sold back at
any price as long as no fraud was
committed in the original sale.
Senator Hayden called on the
Armed Services Committee to
write law under which "a man
should get his money back in
cluding interest but we should not
be robbed"
Much Of what the surplus
stores have to sell Is military
clothing produced for use during
World War II.
Life Under Storage Indefinite.
The Quartermaster chief, Maj.
Gen. Herman Feldman, told the
committee that textiles would
constitute one Of the best reserve
stocks we could build up"
"The life of those items under
proper storage" he added, "is al
most indefinite"
Meanwhile, the sale of all Gov
ernment surplus, personal as well
as real property. has been frozen.
And the surplus operators them
selves are unhappy though not en-
tirely because their source of
supply has dried up.
Right after the war, the services
were making available to them
all kinds of tools and machinery,
things that were unobtainable
while the fighting was in progress.
They were snapped up rapidly.
Now they're gone. Even before the

they hadn't been able to get such

Taft Leader Charges
Union Bosses Use
Intimidation Tactics
By the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. TO-
The chairman of the Taft-for-
Senate Committee demanded last
night that union leaders stop tell
ing Ohio workingmen they will
close their jobs" If they vote for
Senator Taft.
Willis D. Gradison of Cincinnati
said union leaders are spreading
rumorS to the effect that they
would know how their members
vote on November z and that they
would be punished and lose their
jobs" if they vote for the Ohio
Republican Senator.
His charges were made in tele-
grams sent to State Auditor Joseph
T. Ferguson. the Democratic SEN
atorial nominee, and Jack Kroll,
national chairman of the CIO
Political Action Committee.
Mr.. Ferguson and Mr.. Kroll said
they had not yet received the
kilograms and refused immediate
comment.
Labor Supporting Ferguson.
Both AFL and CIO leaders are
supporting Mr.. Ferguson's candi-
dacy.
Mr.. Gradison could not be
reached Immediately for comment
on how results of individual votes
in Ohio's secret ballot could be
determined.
But a spokesman at the Taft
for Senate headquarters said
workers had been told in "asides'
that there were methods and
means of obtaining exact infor-
nation"
In his telegram, Mr.. Gradison
called on Mr.. Ferguson to "repu-
diate the campaign of intimida-
ton and threats which union
bosses are using on their members
with respect to secrecy of the bal
lot" Mr.. Gradison said this
strikes a new low in cam
paigning."
Charges Book of Lies.
"Your whole campaign has al
ready put most voters of our State
to shame" Mr.. Gradison said. 1T
has been based entirely on the
book of lies produced by the CIO
Political Action Committee which
you have not repudiated and
which you have used as the test
for your speeches, radio talks and
other propaganda.
II now demand that you call off
this campaign of intimidation
against workingmen.

in retail outlets as compared with
what the Army now pays at whole
sale, he said:
"The tremendous cost of pro-
curement would more than Offset,
In the vast majority of cases, any
saving that could be made on the
purchase price.
For example, say we needed
100000 overcoats and let 5000
contracts to retailers who could
supply 100 coats each. The cost
OF the paper work alone involved
in 5000 contracts, instead of the
one or two that normally would
be the case. would be absurd. And
when the expense of gathering,
sizing, grading, tipping and crat-
ing the goods is figured, costs
would skyrocket even further"
The official pointed out that Just
because an item is labeled Army
surplus" that doesn't make it so,
nor does on tagged. made in &C
cordance with Army specifications"
mean that 1t was once bought
by the Army.
Such items, he said, might have
been rejected by the quartermas-
ter. Or the manufacturer might
have made batch for the Army
and decided to run off some more
for sale to retail outlets.
In reference to Army sales of
surplus. the quartermaster official
said the items disposed of were
primarily non-standard or slightly
of-standard.
"A very large proportion of what
was sold would not have met strict
Army standards-because of age,
redesign or some other factor" he
declared.

investigators yesterday how they
are fixed financially and, an in
vestigator said. their explanations
appeared satisfactory.
Col. George H. White, COM
mittee investigator, said after
questioning the two captains, that
reports of big payoffs by gambling
bosses "look like lot of smoke.
but not much fire.
Col. White said that on the
basis of his interviews with the
two district captains, Joseph Gold
berg and Louis Klatzko, he saw no
reason for summoning them to
appear before the committee when
it resumes hearings here next
week. He added that both had
asked to appear to clarity their
position.
Col. White said both captains
gave frank and fortnight" ac-
counts of all their financial af-
fairs. He added that both ad-
mitted assets over and above their
salaries as policemen ($5,200 a
year,, but neither could be de-
scribed as wealthy.
Col. White said information by
Capt. Goldberg and Capt. Klatzko
will be checked. They have been
asked to furnish supporting docu-
ments, Col. White said. as will
other police officials expected to
be called for questioning.
sCol. White explained that Capt.
Goldberg and Capt. Klatzko, as
high police officials, acquired
friends able and willing to make
loans for investments and gave
them tips on profitable business
transactions. --.
