After three years of costly
personal research during his
many visits and residence in
the Virgin Islands, Stuart Muir
ray today presented a first
edition, authors copy, of his
latest book "The Complete
Handbook of the Virgin IS
lands" to Governor Morris F.
de Castro.
In accepting it the governor
complimented Mr.. Murray
and expressed the belief that
it would be Of great benefit to
the Virgin Islands. The presen
tation took place at Govern
ment House, at 2 pm. today.
The book, a seventy-thous-
and word document, was de
signed to provide basic infor-
nation together with sources
of additional data, pertaining
to the Virgin Islands as they
are today. It lists transporta-

Large Crowd Attends
Barren Spots
First Buzuur

Y yesterday afternoon APP
~proximately a thousand peo-
pie visited Barren Spot and
enjoyed its first Bazaar. The
country chapel and school
with plenty of tradition and
happy memories behind them
brought crowds from all over
the island. There were even
some there whom the chapel
sheltered in the hurricane Of
1899 as well as the younger
crowd who received their
first years Of schooling there.
Many expressed the hope that
this first Barren Spot Bazaar
would not be its last but that
it might well become an an
nual affair.
The Bazaar ended with a
triple rattle, First the door
prize, a beautiful doll (still
unclaimed, the winner being
number 39l); then a bridal
doll which was won by Vim
cent Mason; then a portable
radio that was first won by
Father DAILY, Superior Of St.

graciously yielded his win
ming and there was a second

wac won by Alfredo Jacobs of
Richmond Penitentiary.

tradicts any such idea. Almost from
the day Of Mr.. Malik's speech, the
/ Democratic politicians by whom Mr.
| Truman is surrounded and whom he
sees more frequently than anyone
clse-notably Chairman of the Ma.
tional Committee William NJ. Boyls
have concentrated upon the politi-
cal benefit that might accrue to hin,
and them. A stream of propaganda is
pouring forth from the various party
publicity agencies to the general eff
feet that the proposed truce is proof
of the "brilliant success" Of the Tru-
man policies in Korea; that the end
Of the fighting means his triumphant
denomination and rc-election; that he
now will be forced by popular de
mand to run again, etc, etc. The New
Deal-Fair Deal publicists sing the
same song.
Naturally, the Republican reaction
is to combat all this. Their propa-
gandists point out that another
"brilliant success" such as the one in
Korea would sink the country; that
the truce leaves us exactly where we
started-on the Thirty-eighth Paral-
lei; that there have been $4,000
American casualties in Korea in one
year. that the cost in money and ma
terials has been stupendous and
even with the fighting ended, an end
of the terrific drain on our economy
is Just not in sight, etc, etc. This
Democratic Republican flood of parti-
san propaganda is supplemented by
the advocates of General Eisenhower,
who urge that peace in Korea in
creases the chances of his Republi-
can nomination and might bring
about Endorsement by the Democratic
Convention.
The reasoning here is not easy to
follow but the point is that in Wash
ington Democrats, Republicans and
the professional liberals alike have
rushed to interpret developments in
Korea in terms of partisan politics,
apparently concerned only secondarily
with their effect upon the world
crisis. Here was an opportunity for
the Administration to refrain from
claiming credit for brilliant sue

One effect here of the Korean ncgo-
tations, the final outcome Of which,
despite stoppagc Of actual fighting,
will not be known for weeks to come
(and may not be good at alb is a
violent outbreak Of partisan politics.
Both Republicans and Democrats
have contributed to this. 1t appears
definitely to end the last slender
hope Of a revival of anything like a
bipartisan foreign policy.
Until and unless general war
forces unity there will be no unity in
either defense effort on the conduct
of foreign affairs. On the contrary,
there now seems practical certainty
that foreign policy will be the main
issue in the presidential campaign
next year. The full propaganda
power of the Administration is al
ready employed. Its foreign policy
and those who sponsored it will be
holly eulogized by one side and saw
agely attacked by the other. There
now seems no way to avoid this, and
those who appreciate that the state
Of the world for a long time to come
will call for the utmost strength we
can develop at home and abroad are
deeply distressed at the prospect.
1t is, in fact, bad situation. With
out in the least condoning the eX-
treme partisanship Of the Republ-
cans, it is unquestionably true that
chief blame attaches to the Demo-
cratic administration. Look at the
facts Under existing conditions BIZ
partisanship in foreign affairs is, Of
course, essential if our policies are to
be truly effective Mr.. Truman and
Secretary of State Acheson have
done great deal of breast beating
about their desire for unity. Their
favored columnists and commentators
loudly and constantly pay high
tribute to the late Senator Vanden-
berg and lament that there are in
the Senate no other Republicans Of
his breadth and character, which may
be true. however, THESE PROFESSIONS
and protestations clearly make it in
cumbcnt for the Administration to
set an example.
If bipartisanship is to be achieved,
the initiative must come from the
party in power. If its leaders initiate
policies they also must take the first
steps toward the abandonment of
politics. Few will dispute that, but
even fewer will contend that, despite
the employment Of Mr.. Dulles and
ex-senator Cooper, any real step in
that direction has been taken. Ger
tainly the stuff emanating from Adj
ministration sources since the Korean
truce was seriously suggested con-

cess; to ignore the political adj
vantages for 1852 and sound a
genuine bipartisan note. But that
opportunity has been lost in the
clamor of its politicians and publ
cists about the political benefits to
Mr. Truman. However, when one
considers the Presidents recent APP
pointments to the Federal bench and
the contemptuous way he has swept
aside the recommendations of the bar
associations for those Of the politi-
clans it is hardly surprising that his
aides should view the Korean stu
alton from the political angle. That
is the recognized White House angle.

House Leaders 10 Aid
Ship Subsidy Measure,
Magnuson Declares
BY the Associated Pres.

Senator Magnuson, Democrat
of Washington, said today House
leaders have promised quick action
on a long range shipping bill de-
signed to build up the tagging
American merchant marine for
lpeacetime trade or wartime emer-
lgency.
The Senate late yesterday ap-
proved and sent to the House the
measure, which hackers claim will
boost ship construction by liberal
izing Federal subsidies. Opponents
contend it will cost taxpayers be-
tween So billion and So billion.
Senator Magnuson said the
United States spent $37.5 billion
during the last war to build up
the merchant marine in a hurry.
and that the proposed bill would
encourage private capital and the
United States shipping industry to
build ships now with their own
profits and help cut down heavy
Government expenses later.
Three Senators Rap Bill.
Senator Magnuson added that
the bill will encourage construc-
ton not only of fast passenger
liners, but speedy freight and
tanker vessels which might be
needed to outrun modern sub
marines.
Senators Williams, Republican,
|of Delaware; Wherry. Republican,
|of Nebraska and Douglas, Demo-
Icrat, Of Illinois criticized the
measure unsuccessfully on the
ground the proposed subsidies
would cost too much.
Under existing law construction
subsidies are limited to ocean
going ships on foreign routes GER
titled by Federal maritime Off
cials.
Some. Domestic Shipping.
The new bill would allow such
Isubsidies-the difference between
United States and foreign costs
on any ship engaged in foreign
trade, as well as those operating
on the Great Lakes, the st. Law
renee Seaway and the Gulf of
Mexico.
The bill would reduce from II
to IL years the minimum time
before ship is classed as obso-
lete and eligible for trade-in on a
new one.
1t would allow ship owners and
operators to build new ships or

| Hawaii Quake Levels
IWater Tanks, Raising
Severe Drought Peril
BY the Associoted Press

HONOLULU. Aug. 22.-The
heaviest earthquake ever recorded
on the volcano island of Hawaii
cost the Kona coast district most
Ipf its treasured water stores
with two months Of normal
drought ahead.
Property damage was estimated
officially at between $3.50, 900 and
81 million, but the water loss was
the most critical.
The quake Jared the largest of
the Hawaiian islands in early
morning darkness yesterday. II
wrecked or damaged more than
200 wooden water storage tanks
20 OF them on one cattle ranch.
An after-shock bumped the
Kona coast last night. Kona po-
lice said it was weak and no dam
age was reported. The after shock
ratified dishes and windows in
Honolulu.
DrieSt Part of Islands.
Each Of 200 families along a 80
mile stretch of the Kona coast. on
the west slope Of Mauna Loa VOL
cano, had at least one tank for
storing drinking and household
water.
The Kona coast is the driest
section Of the islands.
Yesterdays tremor was CEN
tered deep below the undersea
slope of massive Mauna Loa. The
volcano rises 1850 feet above sea
level and slants $4,000 feet unde,
water to the ocean floor.
There was no evidence of any
impending eruption by Mauna Loa

VOLCANOES. It spilled molten lava
into the sea little more than q
year ago.
Emergency Water Brought In.
Police Sergt. Emery Kunitomc

fire department and Hawaii Coun-
Ity trucks from 'Hilo. across the
island, were hauling emergency
water supplies to Kona coast resi-
dents.
The water hauling must con.
tinue daily. The Kona coast nor
mally receives no rain until well
into October.
Sergt. Kunitomo said there had
been little rain through July and
August. The hauled water must
be boiled for drinking purposes.
Coffee farmers, with their cror
at harvest ripepess, rushed tc
lumber yards for materials to re.
build their water tanks. The coffee
beans must be washed before they
are dried and packed.
Cattle ranchers also began to
reconstruct tanks.
Only two persons were reported
injured.
