A man walked into a grocery
store one morning with a bulldog
on a leash. The dog stood quietly.
while his master made purchase.
Suddenly, without warning, the ami
NAL snapped at a woman customer,
leaving tooth marks in her leg. The
woman sued the grocer for dam
ages, blaming him for allowing
such "viscious beast" in the store.
However, the court turned down
her claim. The judge said that,
until the woman had actually been
bitten. the grocer had no way Of
knowing that the dog had such a
nasty disposition!

December, effective October 1; all
assistance cases were reviewed,
assigned to Federal categories, and

under the new Plan.
The Public Assistance Plan pro-
vides for handling Of assistance
on a thoroughly modern basis, on
principles accepted nationally as
sound and just, and applied uni
formly throughout all the Virgin
Islands. Unfortunately, the limited
local funds available, even with
Federal matching added thereto,
supply only about half the real
need of the families on the assist
ance lists. But this is far more
than we were able to do before
Federal aid became available. In

ADDRESS


of Gov. Morris F. de castro
over Station VISTA on Sun.
Fellow Citizens Of the Virgin
Islands in st. Thos., ST. Croix,
and St. John:
Continued from yesterday
All this means that there will
be a need TO reducating the fami-
lies to be housed there in a better
way of living to thf end that they
can achieve the maximum bene-
fits to be derived from the occu-
pancy of these projects. Through
this process of education, the So
cial standing of these families will
rise to the point where the com
munities at large will benefit.
Economically the islands too as a
whole will benefit through the
work that will come out of the
construction of these projects.
This housing program is one that
requires a greatdeal of that which
is visionary in nature. 1t will not
be achieved without the under
standing and cooperation of each
member of the insular community.
| should like to repeat that the
two Municipal Councils, the Hous-
ing Authority an dthe Governor
have pledged their best efforts
toward achieving the goal set up
by the Congress in its declaration
of National Housing Policy that
"there shall be a decent home for
each and every citizen of the
community"
Public Assistance Program
In public welfare matters, the
past fiscal year will always be
memorable in the Virgin Islands
as the year in which, by Act of
Congress, the Public Assistance
titles and the Old Age and Survi-
vors Insurance provisions of the
Federal Social Security Act were
extended to the Virgin Islands.
BY the insurance provisions of this
Act, workers of the Virgin Islands,
exactly like their fellow-workers
in the United States, earn retire
ment and disability benefits.
Small deductions ftom wages,
matched by their employers, 60 to
this Federal fund which guaran-
tees protection to workers in their
declining years and to their sur
viving dependents on their death.
In another five or ten years, when
workers now in covered employ
ment come to retirement age, the
Virgin Islands will begin to rea-
lie how much this program
means to our people.
Meanwhile, of immediate and

Cos+-of-Livinq Allowances

Following a request made by the Civil Service Commission, Senator Johnston of South Caro- lima has introduced legislation providing for coSt-of-living al loWance in the territories in ex- cess of the present 25 per cent limitation.
 Especial reference was made to the Alaska situation by Chair man Ramspeck of the Civil Serv- ice Commission in sending draft of the Legislation to the Hill.
 In stating that the additional compensation now paid by law ''has been sufficient to meet the diverse compensation problems of federal employment in terri torial areas with one exception" Chairman Ramspeck pointed out that the one exception is the situation existing in parts of Alaska, where living costs are so much higher than in the states that the existing 25 per cent rate of territorial cost-of living al loWance is inadequate. He cited difficulties of various federal de- partments which have claimed that the removal of the limita- tion would facilitate the recruit ment of qualified personnel and would reduce turnover.
 "The legislation proposed by h Commission" Chairman Ramspeck said, would make it possible to establish in Alaska, wherever appropriate, rate of cost-of- living allowance in ex- cess of 25 per cent of base pay rates. Although the condition re- quiring such treatment is now confined to Alaska, the authority would be general so as to permit similar action at other territorial posts if like conditions are ever encountered elsewhere. In this respect, the proposed authority would be parallel to the existing statutory authority for cost-of- living allowances at foreign posts"
 The legislation, introduced by the chairman of the Senate Com mittee on Post Office and Civil Service, is similar in purpose to a. bill introduced in January by Delegate Bartlett

CONTROL OF FISHERIES
 SHOULD NOT BE INVESTED TERRITORY. SAYS REPORT

Tt is not believed that the Terri tory of Alaska should be invested with the responsibility of regulat- ing administering the fisheries in advance of it's admission to state hood" the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries was informed last week.
 The statement was included in the Department of the Interiors report On Delegate Bartlett's bill providing for the transfer to the Territory of the control over the salmon and other fisheries of Alas ka, except the fur-seal and sea- otter fisheries.
 "This Department" the report, signed by Acting Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior Mastin c. White declared, "has strongly urged the enactment of legislation providing for the statehood of Alaska and it

under contract, increases for the territories the limit on the aver age cost of two, three, and four bedroom family dwelling units in any project. The limit in the States would be $9,000, $10,000 and $11,000, respectively, which would be increased by one-half in the territories.
 In addition, the Federal Hous- ing Administration would be al- lowed to increase so far as Alas ka is concerned the maximum dollar amount otherwise appli- cable to mortgages eligible for insurance under the National Housing Act from one-third to one-half.
Seward seaport record., 1951-08-20

has been my view that respo
 bility for management of the fl cry resources ultimately would
 assumed by the State of Ala9 subject to whatever limitations
 national and international impl tions of the Pacific fisheries mi impose. As there is every liklih| that the Congress will take faY able action on the statehood and in so doing will undoubtd provide for the transfer of adnI istration of the fishery resourcei the new state, in my opinio1 would be both unnecessary and wise to provide for transfe1 this time.'

Renewal of the direct home loan program for veterans ap- peared assured when the House this week passed the Defense Housing Act and sent the bill back to the Senate.
 The measure, as it passed the Senate many weeks ago, includ- ed a provision to continue the program, which expired on June 30 of this year, until June 30, 1853, and this provision was in cluded n the version as it pass ed the House on August IS. The bill now goes back to the Senate for consideration of the House version.
 The same bill providing con tinuation of the direct home loan program for veterans includes special provisions for Alaska housing, the terms of which are agreed to by the House and Sen ate.

Meetings adjourn at 10 pm, a

Between meeting times, 1t.
Sheldon often invites informal
groups to gather in the basement
of his home at 1927 Forty-third
place NV, where he houses his
cherished collection of pictures,
books, manuscripts and other Lin
coin memorabilia. His 12-year- old
son. David, and his wife. who
serves as attendance officer for
District of Columbia schools, share
his enthusiasm but occasionally
they have to call a halt on having
too much space given over to it
in the family domicile.

cronies when he first came to this
city in 1921 was DR.. Francis Hag-
ner. nationally known authority
on the flight route of John Wilkes
Booth after the assassination in
Ford's Theater.
"Dr. Hagner took me over the
route with him so many times,
came to know every fence post

houses and the families in them,
who had come in actual contact
with Booth, including the luckless
DR.. Mudd, who set Booths broken
leg without advising Federal au-
thorities of the suspicious nature
OF the wound" he told me.
Lectures on Booth Tour.
To record this knowledge, the
National Park Service asked
Lieut.. Sheldon to set up an
itinerary log for them by speed
ometer readings and landmarks.
Now they run caravan buses over
this route annually with lectures
on the places where Booth
stopped, many of which are still
owned by descendants of the
families who occupied them at
the time of their association with
Booth, Lieut., Sheldon is of course
