ficials of the islands, who occupy
positions of public honor and
trust. You appear to believe that
such a development was natural
and inevitable because a former
Governor spent some little time
on the mainland. l assume you
refer to the late Governor Har-
wood. AS a matter of fact it was
under Governor HASTE that the
councilmen obtained for them
selves the present fat annual sa-
laries for representing a handful
Of constituents, comparatively
speaking, at the expense of the
taxpayers on the mainland as
well as those in the islands. l
find | cannot agree that the mere
fact that the late Governor Har-
wood was away a relatively large
part of the time is any justifica-
ton. Incidentally, a substantial
part of Governor Harwood's time
was spent in. obtaining still larger
appropriation authorizations for
the Virgin Islands, many of them
for projects very much in the
luxury category.
You state that mo market is
permitted on the mainland Or in
Puerto Rico" for Virgin Islands
agricultural products. If you know
of any law or regulation of the
Federal Government which is
working a discrimination against
Virgin Islands farm and garden
produce, I wish you would let me
know. l promise you that I will
do everything I can to remedy the
situation.
AS to the difference between
the treatment accorded manu-
featured products shipped to main
land markets from, say, New
York, and those shipped from St.
Thomas, I am certain you are
aware of the highly favored posi-
ton of the Virgin Islands in be-
ing virtually a ''free port" for
foreign goods. If any act of ours

"Trip 10 the virgin Islands. MIR. Tot
ten had distributed printed copies
of his letter to Senator Butler the
day after mailing it to Wash
ington.
Senator Buffers reply is as
follows:
Dear Mr.. Totten:
I am glad to have your interest
ing letter regarding my Virgin Is
lands report, and I have been Civ
ing its contents careful considera-
ton.
At the outset I would like to
say that I do not consider that you
and other mainland kinfolk of the
people of the Virgin Islands are
incapable Of understanding their
problems, as your letter suggests.
On the contrary, l believe your
contributions can be most valu-
able since you are both Virgin Is
landers and Mainlanders, and
hence have the opportunity to see
Virgin Islanders in the light of
their relationship to mainland
problems.
Permit me to point out that in
my opinion my observations are
not susceptible to the interpreta-
ton that I FASTENED to place all
blame" upon the native legisla-
tors. AS I said in the report, and
say now again, Congress has been
extremely remiss in making APP
preparation after appropriation to
finance one scheme after another
for rehabilitation of the islands
economy without ever coming to
grips with basic economic and So
Geological facts, and without pro-
per follow-up and investigation of
the reasons for failure.
I must confess myself a little
dismayed at your justification Of
the wholly ~unwarranted grab of
public funds in the way of salary
and emolument by the elected Of
, 1951-03-03

a year Office, and yet who require
substantial subsidies for even
their present government.
AS to your second suggestion,
namely, that the facilities of the
Virgin Islands be used for greater
industrial development in view of
the current decentralization of
industry on the mainland because
Of the atom and hydrogen bomb"
do you have any specific sugges-
tons AS l tried to point out in
my report, the facilities Of the Viz
gin Islands are primarily those of
the soil & the sea. They certainly
do not possess a trained, indus
trlouS manpoWer force at this
point, nor power facilities, ror
mineral resources.
I believe the reference to Ha-
vail IN your third suggestion re-
specting the return of the Internal
Revenue taxes is a typographical
error. Income and excise taxes
connected with Hawaii are COW
cred into the Federal Treasury
and are not returned to the Ter
ritory. AS to Puerto Rico, l have
pointed out SO often that the Vir-
gin Islanders would be foolish in
deed to wish to be placed on q
basis Of equality with Puerto
Rico. Puerto Rico supports its en-
tire insular government out of the
revenues retained or returned to
the Puerto Rican treasury. A
study of the comparative statistics
IN the light of the population diff
ferential of about 81 to / reveals
just how favored are the Virgin Is
lands were under the present sys-
tenn. If the Islands were to get the
benefit of tax returns, as in the
case of P. R. They should also be
prepared to assume the rnsnonsi-
bilities assumed by Puerto Rico
and pay the entire cost of their
own revenues exclusively.
Again let me reiterate my in
terest in your letter, and also ex-
press the hope that you will give
my reply as widespread circula-
ton as you gave to your letter by
printing and mailing it apparent
ly, far and wide, the day after if
was mailed to me, and before |
myself could have even received
it.

Press Release
SENATOR HUGH BUTLER REPLIES
TO VIRGIN ISLANDS LETTER

Senator Hugh Butler r., Nebraska) today made public
MS reply to the published letter of Ashley L. Totten, Presi-
dent, American Virgin Islands Civic Association Of New York
City, commenting on the Senator's recent report to the Senate
Interior and Insular Affairs Committee on his inspection
, 1951-03-03

were to cause the Islands to be
treated on a basis of equality with
Puerto Rico and the mainland as
far as import and customs duties
were concerned, + believe we
would both bring down the
wrath of the Virgin Islands mer-
chants and consumers upon our
heads.
1t may well be that the people
of the American Virgin Islands
are no different, as a result of
misguided Congressional generosi-
ty and laissez-faire, from the ma
tive peoples of the other West In
dian Islands. But the significant
fact remains that vegetables fish,
charcoal, and manual and farm
workers are regularly im~orted
from Tortola and neighboring is
lands, while land and manpoWer
are going to waste in the Ameri-
can islands despite the compare
lively great mechanical and
scientific facilities available. How
do you account for this fact?
| can assure you that I hold no
brief whatever for expensive pro-
grams designed to teach the ma
tives to sing and engage in out
door performances. I assume YOU
refer to that sponsored by the late
Governor Pearson and that, of
course, was before my time in the
Senate.
In any event, the" "boondoggles''
of the past do not excuse present
waste, and f you have any know
ledge of any ones using the Fed
eral payroll as a support for a
paradise for idleness'', I do wish
you let me know.
l am not, as you say, unalter-
ably opposed to the establish
ment of a Resident Commissioner
for the Virgin Islands in Washing
ton. This office would involve
some $50, 100000 or SO annually for
representation Of some $1,000 per-
sons, and an area that does not
now produce exportable commo-
dities for mainland or foreign
markets at this time. However,
when the Virgin Islands reach a
sufficiently high degree of develop
ment in the traditional American
virtues of self-reliance and self
support to indicate that such an
office would serve a truly useful
purpose, l will give my whole
hearted support to any measure
designed to accomplish this end.
But | think that you will agree
that under the circumstances, the
burden of proof is on the 81, 900
persons who want the $50, zoe 90

Ar17listice En Korea Possible By Christmas

MUNSAN, Korea, (Ho) - Truce negotiations reached agreement on a buffer zone clause today, open ing the way for a possible armiS- tice in Korea by Christmas.
 We have reached agreement insofar as the wording is con cerned," Rear Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, JUN. Command subcom- mitteeman told correspondents. "The only thing left now is for the liaison officers who are work ing on the map to finish"
 If the agreement is approved by the full truce delegations, as ex- pected, negotiators would have 30 days in which to solve three other tough problems - supervision of the armiStice, exchange of war prisoners and recommendations to the belligerent governments.
 Fighting will continue in the war, now r months old, until all of these points are settled.
 Staff officers started mapping the actual line of battle contact. The line they draw is to become the formal cease-fire line if an arnistice is signed within 30 days.

Ship Captain Faces Charge Killing g One Of Crew At Sea

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)- Capt. Franklin B. Weaver, skipper of the Flying Trader, faces Coast Guard charges of ''Wrongfully killing" one of his crew at sea.
 The husky 30-year-old skipper from EngleWood, N.J., pleaded in nocent. If convicted, his merchant marine officers license could be revoked or suspended. T h e charges are not criminal.
 The charges were filed Tuesday after preliminary investigation. The freighter, owned by Isbrandt- sen Lines, arrived Monday.
 The crew member, William Harvey, 24, a negro steward of Dayton, O., was shot to death while the Flying Trader was at sea between Kobe and Manila.
 The first assistant engineer, George N. Wood, testified he saw Weaver appear on deck Oct. 25 followed by Harvey, who was handcuffed.
 Wood said the captain took an automatic pistol from his cabin, cooked it and moved out of sight with Harvey.
 Then Harvey shouted: "You put these handcuffs on me. Take 'em off"
 "I heard the first shot fired" Wood said Harvey passed my line of vision, still handcuffed, still demanding they be removed I heard a second shot. I heard Harvey say:
 "'Go ahead, shoot me again.!
 ''It was immediately followed by a third shot"

Senator Demands CAB
 Permit Non-Skeds Offer LOw-COSt Transportation

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Sparkman O-Ala) demanded yes terday that the Civil Aeronautics Board permit small, non-sched- uled airlines to "offer low-coSt air coach transportation"
 Sparkman is chairman of the Senate Small Business Commit tee. In a letter to CAB chairman Donald w. Nyrop he accused the board of inconsistent actions.
 He said the board has publicly announced it's support of such low-cost transportation but in a decision on Nov. it rejected the applications of four airlines that sought to offer transcontinental air coach service at reduced fares.
 "There is a strong public de- mand for cheap air transportation on a vastly expanded basis" he said.

Russian-Type Jets And Pilots Break
 Allied Supremacy

SEOUL, Korea, (P) - J t S clashed over Korea today for the first time in five days. The fight came just 12 hours after super forts bombed a new Red jet base two miles from Red China's Man churian frontier.
 During the night 12 B.29 super forts ignored an angry cordon of Red jets and rOared through in tense flax in the first bombing raid on the Communists Uiju jet base.
 The strike was effective, Far East Air Forces said. It reported all B-29S returned from the raid two miles south of the Yalu river boundary.
 This strike so close to the "Sanc- tuary of Manchuria" pointed up the mounting Allied effort to block off the growing communist air threat and keep the Reds from setting up bases in North Korea closer to the battle line.
 Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, chief of the US. Air Force, warned in Washington that Red China has emerged suddenly as a major air power. He said this newborn air force with Russian type jets and Russian speaking pilots has broken Allied air supremacy in Korea although the United Ma tions still holds superiority.
