ANNUAL REPORT OF PARENTS
HEALTH ORGANIZATION
by (Mrs.) NAY CHRISTENSEN

II Inr1SLlanSCed Parents
Health Organization was or
ganized June Is, 1947. The
purpose of this Organization:
First, that the parents, teach
ers and nurses could meet
together and discuss the vari-
Gus health problems of their
children. Second, that The pa
rents should cooperate more
fully with the teachers in
helping to solve these pro-
blemS.
Some of the activities carried
out by the Organization: We have
kept four food sales. From the
proceeds of the first sale, we made
a donation of $4,000 to the Chill
dren's Ward at the Christiansted
Municipal Hospital to purchase
baby linens.
Since then, every year at Christ
mas, we have distributed gifts to
all the children in the Ward and
to shut-ins at home. We gave them
last year, and electric monograph
towels & wash rags.
We have teamed up with the
Parents Teachers Association for
the last 8 years in soliciting funds
from the Community for the buy
ing of fruits and fruit juices, and
taking them to the Hospital, Pri-
son Dept, Leper Colony and at
the Kings Hill Home and the
singing of carols at Christmas.
Our regular meeting is kept
the third Monday night in every
month, and since October last
year we have been sponsoring an
Educational Meeting on the first
Wednesday night in each month.
Last year on the occasion of the
Antigua disaster we gave l box Of
clothing, " bag of white sugar
/ case of milk, / case of fruit
also some children clothing that
were made by the memebers of
the Sewing Club.
We have sponsored four

Statehood

hood three Senators Feaiifme0 their belief that Alaska and Ha- waii should be admitted as states without delay and President Tru- man. in meeting with the Boys Nation last week informed them that their affirmative vote on the statehood bills pleased him i'm mensely."
 'It quite clearly appears faena the evidence which was received by the committee on Interior and Insular Affairs" Senator O'Maho- ney declared in the Senate last week. that a clear majority of the Congress of the United States is in favor of the enactment of the two bills" The Wyoming le- gislator, chairman of the commit tee which favorably reported the Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills earlier this year, was joined in his remarks by Senator Know land, Republican of California, and Senator Murray, Democrat of Montana.
 Senator KnoWland pointed out that mo one should get any false ideas regarding the American po- sition relative to Alaska" in stat ing that he had heard that Com- munist propaganda might be used that Alaska once having been Russian territory, might in the not too distant future be re- turned to the mother country. ". He stated. Tt seems to me that if any such propaganda is being spread, before it gains circulation elsewhere in the world we should definitely serve notice that AL aska is a part of the Union, a member of the sisterhood of
 Chairman O'Mahoney declared. Statehood for Alaska would mean the greater use of Alaska'S natural resources and the produc- tion of more wealth for the Uni ted States. It would mean the de- velopment of new bases for a sound economy. All arguments which were presented to the h. terior and Insular Affairs Com mittee with respect to both these bills, seemed to a majority of the committee to sustain the conten- ton that these last two remain ing incorporated Territories of the United States should be granted full statehood the people of the Territory of Alaska and Hawaii are American citi- zens, and they were made Amer ican citizens by our voluntary act. They are loyal, they are able, they are intelligent; they have rendered excellent service to the people of the United States, and they are entitled to recognition.
 Following Senator O'Mahoney's speech in which he spoke at length on the history, economics and the importance of the two territories to the United States, Senator Murray remarked, "The Senator from Wyoming has made a very powerful and unansWer- able case for the admission of the two Territories to the Union. l hope that will come about very soon, because I belive, as does the Senator from Wyoming, that is IS very serious matter, and that we should not delay further the admission of these two Territories into the Union.'

Chinese Air Officers
HurI New Charge Of
Corruption al Chang
By John v. Horner

New complications arose yester-
day in the involved controversy
between two Chinese procurement
officials stationed here and the
Nationalist government which dis
missed them.
The two officers hurled new
charges of corruption against the
Chang Kai-shek regime after re-
questing District Court to with
draw from the case in which their
government asked intervention.
But both officers remained out of
town to avoid the possibility of
being served with court papers.
The principals are 1t. Gen. P. T.
Now. longtime head of a mis-
sion authorized to buy material
for the Chinese Air Force, and his
executive officer. Col. v. S. Hsiang.
They are accused of failing to ac-
count properly for $24 million in
Chinese money entrusted to them.
Both deny the charge.
Early this month. the Republic
of China obtained from Judge
James r. Kirkland a temporary
order restraining the officials from
spending any more of the money.
This order is effective until next
Friday. The Chinese government
also is seeking a full accounting
of all money in their custody over
a period of six years, and con-
troll OF an unspent balance, esti-
mated at 81 million.
Gen. Now and Col. Hsiang yes
terday asked Judge Kirkland to
dismiss the temporary restrainer
on grounds that the United States
courts lack jurisdiction and that
the defendants have not been
served with the necessary legal
papers. The action was taken in
their behalf by Attorney William
A. Roberts. The lawyer explained
both officers were out of town and
would remain away until they
"can continue with their func-
tions without harassment."
Mr.. Roberts told reporters the
question Of who heads the Ma
tonalist government is basic
issue in the dispute. He said
the two officers recognize Gen.
Ii Tsung-jen as president, where
rs those fighting Gen. Now and
Col. Hsiang regard Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek as president.
The lawyer said Gen. Ii is pres
ident because he took over when
Chang Kai-Shek resigned in l949.
He said the Generalissimo at
tempted coup d'etat as a result
of Gen. Lis later illness and, in
this, Chang was supported by
numerous Americans anxious to
resume control of supplies to For
mosa from American funds at a
profit" Mr.. Roberts said Gen.
Lis status as president was rec
ognized by the Government Of
the United States.

said Mr.. Roberts, "insist that now
as always their sole objective is
the restoration of strength and in

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-A few
days ago, a new report on mass
murder came from Korea.
The Army cited evidence indi-
eating that some $500 American
prisoners have been put to death.
This figure, coupled with previous
estimates. brought a total of near
| ly 5000 men.
The Army statement followed a
report from Col. James M. Hanley,
chief of the 9th Army's War
Crimes Investigating Section. that
some $500 prisoners were killed.
Gen. Matthew Ridgway. United
Nations commander in the Far
East mentioned the 5000 figure in
commenting on the Hanley report.
However, Friday, the Defense
Department said Gen. Ridgway
had reported to the United Ma
tions weeks ago that his head
quarters was checking reports
that 5000. American prisoners
were slaughtered up to July 20.
Civilian Slaughter Charged.
In addition, the South Korean
munists of Slaughtering more than
Government has accused the Com
250. 900 civilians, including women
and children.
The full story is not yet known.
But enough is known to indicate
that the long, painful effort of
civilized Nations to "humanize"
war has come to a complete fall
ure in Korea. Internatioal law has
become ghastly joke. and hardly
"a paragraph in agreements on the
treatment of non-combatants has
escaped violation.
Two years ago, Soviet Russia
was one of SO nations that signed
Ia contract containing this clause:
Persons taking no active part
in the hostilities. including mem
bers of the armed forces who have
laid down their arms shall in
all circumstances be treated
humanely. without any adverse
distinction founded on race. color,
religion or faith. sex, or birth or

ernment in the proceedings. Mr..
Leahy was out of town yesterday

a police cruiser was parked out
side the building and the police
men declared they had been
ordered to the scene "for protec-
tive purposes" without saying
whom they were to protect.
