At Mount Vernon, most of the
restorations, refinishing, upholstering
and repairs are done in shops on the
estate by corps of able and versatile
craftsmen. It Is point of pride with
them that every clock in the mansion
still keeps perfect time. Frank H.
Morse, special staff assistant and a
former school teacher, Is an expert
leather worker and gunsmith. Many
of the jobs are handed down from
father to son. Harrison Rouse, chief
engineer, is the third generation to
work at Mount Vernon.
The guards know the complete
history of the place and speak of 1.-The
general as If he were still alive.

ITS really quite simple, Jean.
This is Campbell's Chicken

it with fluffy rice, so full of deep

Editorial
METHOD OF APPOINTMENT
MI LONG AGO there appeared an editorial in the
Dally News OF st. Thomas which blasted at the method of
appointments in St Croix. Read carefully, and divorced from
personalities, that editorial carried considerable merit
What ATTRACTED our attention particularly w the
approach that the people of St. Croix, never consulted in
these matters, must accept whatever appointment the minor
officials of the Department Of Interior cram down their
threats. This is most ~undemocratic, to say the least, and re-
suit in constant dissatisfaction and much displeasure. Then,
as time passes, the people become Indifferent to everything,
and never seem to respond to any situation.
The who is the chief executive of these
Islands, and who has an opportunity to know the current Of
thinking because OF cloSeneSS, is often by-paSSed and then to
give the appearance OF unanimity, must 90 along with his
superiors in matters which he originally disagreed. Whatever
personal ends are to be satisfied should not be carried out at
the expense of the people.
DURING RECENT years there have been sharp differ
ences between the governors and the legislatures. Why? Be-
cause there is the dangerous lack of confidence that the chief
executive is caught between the hammer and the nail, and
that ultimately his security will supercede all other considera-
tons, and he will almos instinctively find himself acquiecing
to the Department. The Department Of interior, having hand
led these Islands for the past II years should by now strive to
a greater measure of the democratic process, and in so doing
give greater consideration to what our people actually want.
Appointments Of e~xpediency should be discouraged.
n
H QUESTION goes beyond any single appointment
It is an inherent weakness, and should be approached by its
broadest possible base. This discussion is directed to a meth
cd, not personalities. We Believe that this is clear, and that
the weakness, having become apparent, should cause concern
to everyone. An isolated appointment which is entirely salts
factory, should not serve to smooth over the weakness of the
method, for the time might come home to roost, and hurt us
most definitely, and in a most tender spot.

Inland Waterways Face New Demands

Once again the national de-
Tense effort is putting pressure
on the Nations transport facil-
tiles. And once again a heavy
burden Is falling on the unsung
branch of transportation-the
inland waterways.
In World War the railroads
were overwhelmed with ship
ments. So much war material
piled up in freight yards that
the success of the war effort
itself was jeopardized. In des-
peration Army engineers began
to exploit the almost forgotten
inland rivers and canals. The
freight bottleneck was broken.
In the early days of World
War II Nazi submarines lurking
of the Atlantic Coast sank so
much Allied seagoing shipping
that desperate measures again
had to be taken. Once more
shippers turned to the inland
waterways and another crisis
was averted.

u. N. secretariat is raging be-
hind the scenes at the new U. N.
palace in Manhattan.
A climax is expected in the
elections of staff officers later
this month. ...
Lie has been on the black list
Of the Soviet Union since last
June when he denounced the
Communist North Korean inva-
sion of South Korea. There are
well-informed persons, who OBJ
viously cannot be identified,
who say that Communist fol-

face new demands. There are
27.500 miles of them-equiva-
lent in length to seven coast
forecast railroads. Slightly less
than half of this total is taken
up by the vast Mississippi sys-
tenn. with the so navigable rivers
and canals which flow into it.
The Atlantic Coast and Gulf Of
Mexico coast rivers make up
much Of the re- Aainder and the
Pacific Coast rivers are also q
factor. The Great Lakes are not
included.
In 1949, these waterways car
ried an estimated ITO million
tons of freight.
Often barges are wired to-
gether to form a floating freight
train" These barges may carry
as much as 5000 tons of freight
each-coal and oil barges, car
riers with tier after tier of new
automobiles en- route to show
rooms, ore barges heading for

cargoes like sand, chemicals and
sugar. Twenty of these barges
in a train will measure more
than a thousand feet long
longer than the Queen Eliza
beth. ..
Paradoxically. shipping by in
land waterway is one of the old
est ways of delivering freight in
the United States and also one
OF the newest. In pioneer days,
before the days of railroads and
trucks. most freight went by
water. Those were the DAYS
when the Mississippi was jam
packed with traffic.
Then in the case of most of
them, weeds sprang high along
their banks and silt settled on
their bottoms. Almost nobody

hope that q great turnout of
voters will snow under the pres
ent regime when the election
takes place.
Soviet delegates and their
sidekicks in the financial COM
mittee took up cudgels for the
staff committee in debates last
fall. That was at the same time
the Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky was blast
ing Lie on the U. N. rostrum
as a tool Of the Western i'm
perialists. ..
The General Assembly gave
Lie a vote of confidence and ex-
tended his term three years
from last February /. .
Russians Ignore Him
Lie and Vishinsky and other
delegates from the Soviet group
met on outwardly acceptable
terms at parties and receptions
until February /. From that
time on, Lie has ceased to exist
as far as the Russians are con-
cerned-he just is not legal"
any more.
The Russians now address
their letters to the U. N. secre-
tariat instead of to Secretary
General Trygve Lie.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Jacob A. Malik has attend
ed meetings at which Lie has
presided and SO far quite sue
cessfully has voided the issue of
asking Lie for recognition by
name. Malik simply holds up
his pencil as a signal he wants
to speak and Lie recognizes the
delegate Of the Soviet Union.
Perhaps the worst snub by the
Russians since Lie became "il-
legal was when they turned
down his invitation to attend a

But here was a curious thing
there was a Russian in the
house at that time. He was
Constantin E. Zinchenko, AS.
sistant Secretary-General for
Security Council affairs. AS the
top-ranking Russian in the Sec
retariat he was one of the CO.
hosts. Since he was attending
in his capacity as an interna-
tional civil servant. that was ali
right with the Kremlin.
Lie Has Authority
Zinchenko, incidentally, was
serving as acting Secretary
General when General of the
Army Douglas Macarthur came
to the city. Grover Whalen,
New York's master of cere-
monies, invited high-ranking
U. N. officials to a luncheon
given by the city for Gen. Mac
Arthur but carefully excluded
zinchenko.
zinchenko, in one of the rare
public comments he has ever
made, indicated later that it
was quite all right for Whalen
to exclude him. He said he
would not have gone anyway.
Regardless of the outcome of
the election in the Staff Asso-
citation. the U. N. is laying plans
to present to the General As
sembly this fall a proposal Of
