Totten Advises Greet
Core About Changes
In Orgdnic Act

NEW YORK, April IS: Most of
the fine suggestions made by ma
tive leaders and others in the is
lands to be Incorporated in the
proposed revision of the Organic
Act are in the opinion of Ashley
Totten, President of the Ameri-
can Virgin Islands Civic Associa-
ton mere Wishful thinking.
The administration whether De-
mocratic Or Republican will con-
tinue to use the Virgin Islands as
a part of the political melon to be
cut by those who control patron
age, he declares.
1t will be the practice of both
the National Democratic or Re-
publican Committee to make ap-
pointments to Federal jobs in the
Islands when the time comes to
payroll political debts, he states.
Proof of this shown by the re-
cent appointment of a continental
American to the post of Govern
ment Secretary evidently as an
appeasement to the high powered
Democratic Committee who were
disappointed when a native was
given the post of governor.
Totten believes that the Muir
dock Bill is shaped for the pur-
pose of turning the islands and
their people on their own and if
that is true it should not be con-
sidered ridiculous to ask that the
internal revenue tax be returned
and be also made retroactive for
at least ten years. Anything worth
while having is worthwhile fight
ing for, he insists.
Be not deceived said he, just as
long as appropriations of any kind
are sent to the islands, continent
tails are going to demand job jlace
ments with the government.
Totten reminds the members of
the Organic Act Committee that
with the fight for tourism, the in
creased taxation where the eco
nommic status of the people re-
mains low, with continental in
dustrialists settling in the islands
and homes sold to American
capitalists in some cases three
times their assessed value, it will
be difficult to understand how the
Act could be revised to keep con-
tinentals from gaining political
control.
Where you have economic
power and not until Virgin Is
landers are able to pay the fiddler
will they ever be able to call the
tune, he concludes.

Churches Told 10 Improve
Way Of Measuring Success
By the Associated Pres,

BUCK HILL FALLS, Pa, Dec.
10.-The churches must find a
better measuring rod" for their
success or failure than the count
ing of heads and the number Of
church buildings, sociologist
said today.
DR.. William G. Mather, profess
lsor of rural sociology at Pennsyl-
Ivania State College, told a con-
ference of the National Council
of the Churches of Christ in the
United States of America that
the measure of religion" can no
more be gagged by church mem
bership than the counting of the
number of people in an area is a
measure of health"
He suggested that one standard
of success be based on a church's
ability to change with the times.
