May Re-Survey
Men Exempted
From Service

WASHINGTON Up - Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey says a resurvey
of men deferred from military
service because they have depend
ents may soon be necessary if the
armed forces are to be kept at
their present levels.
Hershey, the director of selec-
tive service, expressed this opin-
ion today in an editorial in the
publication, "Selective Service"
which is sent to the 1000 local
draft boards over the nation.
Hershey said the manpower pool
for the draft on July l totaled
about 100000 men.
The question which "must be
faced in the not too distant fu-
ture," he said, is the source of
the manpower which viii inevita-
bly, be needed.
The group of about 900, 900 de-
ferred in Glass A because of de-
tendency, he added, sis one of
the largest that can be made avail
able to supplement the present sup
ply of manpower available for mil
itary service"
A selective service official told
q reporter no official action has
been taken toward a resurvey of
the ga men.
In another weekend develop
ment, it became known that the
Army and Air Force are planning
to release reserve officers who de-
cline to accept commissions of in
definite length. The Navy and Ma
rine Corps already are doing this.

Editorial
M INAUGURAL CEREMONY ALSO
IN APREVIOUS issue we ventured an opinion that one
Mother Of the Year would be preferable for a small comnnun-
iy as ours; we are of the same opinion regarding the inaugur-
al ceremony for the governor Of the Virgin Islands.
EVER SINCE THE civil administration came, there
have had to be at least three Inauguration ceremonies. This
was increased to four when Governor de Castro was appoint
ed. This has continued until we have reached the place where
public opinion is beginning to crystalize against it. It IS only
necessary to point out that a governor, taking the oath in Saint
Thomas in a long drawn out ceremony, followed by a re-
ception in Government House on the same day, must, along
with his encourage, head for st. Croix where he is met at the
airport. And there the long, hard grind begins. He goes to
Frederiksted where he is met at the head OF the town, joins
in a parade, then goes on to take part in a ful-length program.
But that is only half the story. Right after that ceremony, the
Governor must ride the Is miles to ChrSHansted where anoth-
er parade and ceremony awaits him. He returns to St. Thomas
and then on to the Islands Of St John for still another cere-
mony.
H ONLY REASON for all this added work is that
people seem to want to vie for an opportunity to celebrate
and conduct programs. Yet, all such programs are Identical
and So far as the officials are concerned, it is nothing but
work and a repetition Of the same grind through which they
went the day before. Such is not done anywhere else and
there is little d no good reason for it here, if only the thought
is given to it.
PERHAPS 1T WILL require the action of the Legislative
Assembly, that is not important right now, or it might just be
a matter of common understanding However, we venture to
say that this four-cornered Inauguration serves little Or no pur-
pose, and that it would be best for all concerned if different
plans were made. With these thoughts IN mind, local leaders,
particularly the Legislators might do well to go into a huddle
about it. AS a substitute for the parades, programs and all
the ceremonies, a reception in Government House might be
given, where the public may meet the new governor and wish
well On his administration.
LIKE ALL NEW ideas this one viii no doubt create 4
, 1952-05-19

wave Of loud opposition, but
it will be found that as more
thought is given, the idea real
.ly merits serious consideration.
Perhaps it might be well to
pick another occasion on
which to honor the governor,
Or join with the rest Of the
group in another type Of cele'
bration, but to require and ex-
pect a party to take il and
cover the entire group in one
Or two days IS not only miss
ing the point, but reducing the
effectiveness Of what is be-
hind any celebration.
