WHAT ABOUT OUR STREETSp

WHAI ABDUL OUh SIHEEISE
1t is EXTREMELY unfortunate that for some unex-
planned reason the local government fails to assert itself at the
appropriate time for the benefit and welfare of this place. We
need go no further than the condition of the streets in our
towns on St. Croix. At the beginning there was high optim-
ism from all quarters. The program had at last come to Saint
Croix, and something was definitely being done. Those who
paraded in triumph and high faith saw, or thought they saw,
good reason for all the celebration and expressions Of appri-
citation.
AFTER A LITTLE while and the work began to- bog
down, excuses were offered, and again our people turned to
patience, believing that eventually things would change, and
that the public works program, and especially the sewer phase
of it, would take shape. We say eventually because at least
such holds promise, but from all appearances the streets are
destined to remain in this condition now and forevermore.
IF THERE IS Indifference to what people would call the
improved way of life, there is also a reason for it. Again and
again we here in St. Croix have been made the victims Of
glorious promises which never move beyond the speaking
stage. Programs come with great ado, but before long things
are whitfield down to the place where only sheer memories re-
main. 1T s most unfortunate that in all this time since the
American occupation that a definite program for the overall
improvement ofSt. Croix has not been worked out. and that
there is jumping from place to place and day to day. People
cannot be blamed, if having toive under these conditions they
show little enthusiasm and concern for what those who come
among us offer as the solution for our ills. Like the fellow
shepherds, we become totally indifferent to- the cries Of the
shepherd boy who cried Wolf, vol"
THIS PAPER has been most militant in pointing out that
conditions surrounding the streets were getting out of hand;
that the work was being drawn beyond Il all time which could
be considered reasonable, and that each passing day only gave
added confidence to the supervisors that we would sit idly BY
while they enjoyed themselves to the deriment Of the pro-
gram. The local government, perhaps not fully conscious of
the Americanw way Of life, often ignores the voices Of The press,
but # it thinks this way, then something should be done in

Arlington Auto Tags
Available for 1900
Tax-Exempt Persons

Some of the Arlington automo-
bile owners who are entitled TO
free county licenses may obtain
their tags this week.
More than 1000 persons are
exempt from the county car tax.
chiefly by reason of the fact they
are residents of other communi-
ties on military assignment in Ar
lington.
The county already has issued
$50 tags TO exempted military per-
sonnet. The special license plates
being issued protect the owners
from ticketing by police.
The free tags are being distrib-
uted at the Arlington County We
hicle License Division. 2043 Will

Persons who believe they are
not liable for purchase of the tag
are asked to bring to the county
office the registration card of their
vehicle and copy of military Or
ders assigning them to this area.

been set up by Mrs. B. N. Kenyon.

sub-rosa agreement under which
closed shop conditions are con-
doned.
Despite that fact, the board Of
fetal said, not one case involving
the illegal closed shop or the con-
struction industry has reached
the board in the past year.
Referring to Mr.. Denham's po-
sition regarding application of the
labor law to the construction in
dustry. the board stated:
We cannot join in so much
of the general counsels proposed
policy as would tend to vary or
nullify the plain language of the
present statute. no matter how
tempting practical considerations
might make that course. We find
no authority to take such a step.
especially in the light of the Su-
preme Courts admonition in the
recent Colgate-Palmolive-Pe de-
cision: Tr-
"'It is not necessary for us to
justify the policy of Congress. 1t
is enough that we find it in the
statute. That policy cannot be
defeated by the boards policy.
To sustain the boards contention
would be to permit the board
under the guise of administration
to put limitations in the statute
not placed there by Congress
Assuming that we are to con-
tinue to exercise jurisdiction over
the building construction industry,
and yet that some of the union
shop provisions of the act can
not be made to work there, it is
our duty to report that fact to the
Congress, rather than to change
the law ourselves by administra-
tive exemption of a single indus
try.
"Of course. so long as the Gen
eral Counsel thinks it fairest and
best to exercise his exclusive dis
cretion by declining to issue COM
plants of unfair labor practice if
employees are discharged pursuant
to an unauthorized union shop
contract. the board could not, if
it would, conduct a hearing or find
a violation of law. If and when,
however. any such case reaches
the board members for decision,
we will have no choice but to en-
force the law as written"

Remington Absences
To Testify on Loyalty
Cited in Custer Fight
BY the Associoted Press

William w. Remington's alb
sences from work, to testify on his
loyalty and truthfulness in Con-
gress and the courts, are being
cited as a ground for custer from
his $4,000 a year job.
Commerce Department pro-
ceedings to cut the 32-year- -old
economist off it's payrolls specify
not only his time lost from work
but time lost by his superiors in
testifying about him, it was
learned today.
The department. following up a
resign or be fired ultimatum from
Secretary Sawyer that Mr.. Rem
ington refused to heed, notified
him yesterday his pay will be
stopped in 80 days.
1t gave him five days to answer
complaints set out in the notice
described as being that his reten-
ton was "impairing efficiency" and
was "administratively unfeasible
and impracticable.
May Ask More Time.
Mr.. Remington and his attor-
ney, Joseph Rauh, withheld COM
ment pending a study of the COM
plant. 1t was indicated they
might ask further time for reply.
The pay-Stop notice given Mr..
Remington marked the second
time within week that Secretary
Sawyer has acted to remove an
employe whose loyalty had been
questioned in Congress.
The earlier instance was in the
case of Michael Lee, $10,000-a-
year head of the departments
Office of International Trade. MIR.
Lee. charged with maladministra-
ton on complaints of subordinates,
has been given until June IL to
reply.
Absent to Attend Hearings.
Mr.. Remington had a number
of absences from work last sum-
mer to attend congressional COM
mittee hearings at which Elizabeth
Bentley, who said she had been a
Communist courier, testified he
had given her secret information
in wartime while employed by the
War Production Board. He denied
1t.
There were further absences in
connection with a recent House
committee hearing at which two
persons said Mr.. Remington was
a Communist IA years ago, and at
which he denied ever having been
a Communist.
Mr.. Remington has been absent
from work again-two days as
late as last week-to go before a
grand jury in New York which is
inquiring into whether perjury
was committed at the House COM
mittee hearings.
Secretary Sawyer has said his
present actions against Mr.. Rem
ington and Mr.. Lee were "in the
interest of good administration in
the department" and "in no wise
intended to reflect in any way on
the loyalty of either of these two
men,"
