HIGH SPECULATION

WITH THE CHANG in national administration, and
the time drawing near for Inauguration, there is beginning to
be a mad scramble for the governorship Of these Islands. Lo-
cal presSure is beginning to rise, and be felt in certain quarters
as the belief gains momentum that there are those here whose
word could swing the tide. Such enthusiasm is natural. First,
because We here dream Of the opportunity to have a stronger
voice in our affairs, and second, because we like to think that
we can share in the political doctrine that to the victor belongs
the Spois.
BUTTHEREis more to appointing a governor than what
might be said and done locally. It must be emembere that
politics is a series Of relationships on all levels, a series Of
wheels within wheels, and that when the pay-off comes it
must be in the direction of those who placed the most on the
line when the demands dictated.
THERE is "A HARD fact which we must recognize. The
Virgin Islands became popular almost overnight when Presi-
dent Truman surprised everyone by appointing the frst Negro
governor. Since then thousands and thousands of Negroes all
over America have become almost Virgin Isands-conscous.
And what does it all mean? S~imply,that here is plum which
must be guarded CAREFULLY and passed out with a view to
the greatest possible returns and advantages to the party in
power. This in turn means one Of two things: First, that it
will most likely 90 to a well known continental Negro, high
in Republican party politics, who did, and can, and in the
future will deliver votes for the party. Second, if that is not
done directly, then the position will be used in such a manner
as prove to voters that the national administration is DESTROYS
Of extending the greatest measure Of self government possible
CASE OF Governor de Castro cannot be used as
proof that another native, resident in the Islands, must be the
next governor. 1t must be remembered that Governor de Gas
to was practically heir to the goyernorship. He had acted
long and well, and was known through four civilian governor
ships. He was also the right man to use at the time when
Judge Haste stepped out.

But Senator O'Mahoney con-
tended the Senate bill would per-
NIT a faster buildup Of air power
than the House bill, even though
it contained less funds.
This. he said, was because the
Senate eliminated a House limit
on spending, which applied both to
new funds and to funds voted by
Congress in the past, but not yet
spent.
He said Senate cuts applied
against extra engines and spare
parts for aircraft, and would not

Senators Are Divided
On Whether u. ), Can
Afford Huge Arms Bill
BY the Assoeiated Press

Amid reports of mounting So
Wet atomic strength and the air
. power to deliver it, the Senate
opened debate yesterday on a huge
bill to finance United States
rearmament.
The debate brought clashing
views from Senators on whether
this country can afford-or
whether it is even possible-to
build within two years a defen-
sive Air Force Of proportions the
Pentagon says 1t needs to meet
that threat.
Senator johnson. Democrat, Of
Texas. whose Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee has urged a faster
buildup, told the Senate he has
the word Of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff that If Congress will put up
the money, the Air Force and
American industry can produce
by mid-1954 the 143-wing Air
Force the Pentagon requests.
Challenged by Ferguson.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
of Michigan, challenged this. He
said the same officials Senator
johnson quoted told an Appro-
priations subcommittee with
which he serves that it would be
impossible to build the air bases
and provide the pilots and me-
chanics needed to send a 143-
wing Air Force aloft within that
, period.
Their words set the keynote for
debate on the huge rearming bill,
which in it's present form would
put up $45, ,734,7 for the
armed forces in the IL months
starting Tuesday. The Senate
voted a 40-minute limitation on
debate on each of many proposed
amendments in an effort to bring
It to vote by tomorrow night
The House passed a bill bigger by
half billion dollars.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming. the bills chief pilot,
told a reporter he will propose an
amendment tomorrow designed to
permit the Air Force an extra
$3.6 billion-on a credit basis-to
speed the aerial buildup. The ad-
ditional billions would take the
form Of an authorization to con-
tract for delivery, actual appro-
priation of the money to be made
by the next Congress.
Finletter Doubtful.
Senator OMahoney said before

the Air Force Finletter had in
formed him 1t would be impossible
to attain a 143-wing Air Force
