tour aforementioned fac
tories were established in four
years. This method did not ap-
pear to be the solution thew
decided upon the Tax Exemp-
ton program for the incentive.
In the following three years
they were able to secure Is
time more industrial plants
until now they have estab-.
llshed 1873 new plants, handl-
ing $50 million in goods; SIT
million in wages and plants
employing up to 1000 each.
In answer to many questions
propounded by the audience, some
of his answers are listed herewith.
Some type of Development
Board or organization is necessary
in ST. Croix to carry on such an
industrial program. The fact that
raw materials not available To-
cally is no deterrent providing
you can offer other inducements,
taxes, competitive labor and ship
ping rates. The problems here are
not urgent as in Puerto Rico
since they have such a large in
crease in population. He recon-
mended a Board here should make
studies of raw materials, human
resources, transportation, training
programs. He very strongly en-
phasiZed that Government-oWned
plants was not the solution from
their past experience, that bust
ness financed and operated fac
tories were the solution. He adj
vised that their Government Bank
did make loans operating in con-
junction with RFC and CONNER
cial banks did handle loans of
short term and operational ma
ture. He advised that their tax
exemption law protects existing
competitive plants. If a new indus
try is granted exemption then all
existing ones of same type are
given exemption in order that
competition is level. He felt that
benefits from those industries TAX
ing advantage of Tax Exemption
Law were of such great value in
increased wealth that even if they
leave at expiration of period there
would be no harm done. He warn
ed against financing Of companies
that have gone broke in the state;
against guaranteeing of a market
for their products. Certain corp
plants that assist other industries
to complete a product are direct
ly assisted in their financing. In
Plant training and vocational
training is a must to assure neu-
clus of trained personnel. The eta
couragement of a homogeneous
type of plant is very important,
since its products are available to
the community as well as for ex-

4eatsesea Performance
Gk the MiaScAe PA1a

Brazilian Christmas festivities
embrace an aggregation of mod
ern observances entwined with
ancient traditions brought over
from the mother country Of Portu-
gal.
The Christmas season In Brazil
begins on Christmas Eve and ends
with Epiphany on January 6. And
because it is really summertime
(south of the equator) festivities
and entertainments appropriate to
summertime hold sway throughout
the season.
Miracle plays have always been
performed in alteration of the Holy
Child. From olden times. the plays
have had all the dramatic fervor
of a religious performance together
with the gracious hospitality of a
social function.
The scene is at once solemn and
fantastic, with costumes bedeeked
with feathers, spangles, jewels
and what-not sparkling in setting
of luxurious tropical foliage and
blossoms.
Out of the great variety of mira
Gle plays, all on different themes,
of which many are in the form Of
elaborate dances meticulously per-
formed and accompanied by the
music of an orchestra, the dance
of the Four Parts of the World
may be cited as a typical exam
pie.
The roles are enacted by girls
dressed for the part and, in suc-
cession, Europe, Asia, Africa and
America declaim. The discussion
finally involves their respective
rights to make oblation to the
Christ Child. Eventually, Father
Time appears and settles the dis
pute to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.

Christmas Mass

Midnight Mass on Christmas
Eve is the event of the year in
Rome.
Every Roman Catholic church
in the Holy City is crowded
with men, women and children
anxious to see the professions
of church officials In their
splendid robes. The larger the
church, the more beautiful the
sight. And, of course, the SER
vice at st. Peters is the most
magnificent in the world.
AT st. Peters all the men
present are required to wear
evening clothes and the ladies
must be dressed in black, thus
offsetting the brilliant beauty of
the robes. Even the guards on
duty are attired in elegant red
and white uniforms.

Interfederation Backs
> Area Reorganization Bill

The Sasscer area reorganiza-
tion bill last night won more
support as the Interfederation
Council, sparked by delegates
from nearby Maryland counties,
sharply attacked the policies of
the Capital Transit Co.
Piqued by the transit COM
pany's unwillingness "even to
speculate on new service possibil-
tiles in fringe areas" the dele
gates persuaded the council to
condemn the company's current
plans for financial expansion as
contrary to the public interest -
The group approved the action
of the District Public Utilities
Commission and the Interstate
Commerce Commission refusing
authorization for a four-t -one
stock split by the company.
AS an aid for ironing out such
controversies, the council urged
that the House District Commit
tee hold immediate hearing on a
bill proposed by Representative
Sasscer, Democrat of Maryland
calling for study of regional
planning and governmental CO.
ordination in the area.
C. Stephen Duvall, chairman,
conducted the meeting in the En-

Number Of Hypochondriacs
Discounted by Doctor

There aren't as many hypo-
chondriacs in the world as one
might think, the Citizens Asso-
citation of Chevy Chase, D. c., was
told last night.
DR.. Michael M. Davis, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Committee for Nations Health,
said, they just make themselves
conspicuous as a nuisance and
would not bother doctors under
the national insurance plan as
much as you think" Doctors
would be less apt to put up with
them, he added.
DR.. Davis told the group that a
national insurance plan would
benefit the working class making
under $4,000 a year - half the
United States population - for
they would be able to afford medi-
cal attention and not be afraid
of high doctor. and hospital bills.
Medical expenses are increas-
ing constantly, owing to complex
ity of new fields" he said. Half
the doctors now are specialists"
During the business meeting,
the association voted to give the
Chevy Chase Community Center
$500 to purchase new chairs.
The meeting, conducted by D.
N. Merryfield, was held in the
Chevy Chase Community Center,
