WELCOME DREW PEARSON

III. GhOlA welcomes again one of the nations well
known and distinguished columnists, who comes here tomor-
row. Drew Pearson, came to these Islands to dedicate the
Pearson Gardens, new low-cost housing project in St. Thomas
HE'S scheduled to address a gathering in the Lutheran Parish
Hall IN ChrBdansted tomorrow night.
Nh. Parsons appearance in these Islands has 4
double significance. It is enough that his. presence helps to-
focus public attention on what these Islands are doing, and
TO win one further friend where needed. But these Islands
have g particularly warm spot for him because Of their close
association for his distinguished father, the first civilian Gov
ernor. The welcome for MI. Pearson is therefore 4 double
one.
THE FRAILTY OF human nature IS such that honor
comes only after those who deserve it have given their all
and passed on. And Dr.. Pearsons case was no exception
Many will remember the many steps taken to enhance the
cultural aspects Of local life, and the struggle which attended
the establishment Of the Virgin Islands Company But It IS
gratifying 70 see That Tie work done and the efforts made did
not 90 il vain, and more, that the deep sense Of appreciation
manifests itself 4 having d. Pearsons son perform the
dedication.
70 is GOOD that Mr. Pearson viii address the people
Of this place, and 4 capacity gathering will no doubt Be Oh
hand III these times when the world finds itself ID Al
most confused state, words from a man IN the know, and III
the thick Of things il one Of the worlds greatest capitals can
say much that Is authentic and inspiring And Mr Pearson
issthat man.
WE HOPE THAT MI. Pearson will find it possible tol
return to these Islands agnin, and ii time 70 make them his
second home. AS be already knows, having visited these
islands before. there y genuine hospitality here, and warmth

mere babies, sang with the great
est aplomb and with sweet-voiced
security. Already the attributes
distinguishing the Lutheran choral
training were in evidence, in the
simple Christmas songs the chill
dren sang. The strain of discipline
relaxed at the end and one or two
of the youthful singers gave a skip
and jump as they left the stage.
The adult chorus sang better
than ever before. 1t is a delight to
hear the pure intonation in the
cappella delivery where the tones
seem to float in the air. It is a
flexible group. witnessed in "A
Christmas Carol From Lapland"
in Dickinson's arrangement, where
not one word of the text was sac
rif1ced in the soft. light singing. A
tenor and baritone soloist were
heard in this number. Mr.. Snesrud
has attained two difficult goals
with his chorus, the production of
a lovely, carrying pianissimo, and
the resonance that projects the
final letters of each words. Forests
Little Lamb, Who Made Thee"
was an example of the former and
Christiansen'S beautiful To-day
There Is Ringing" of the latter.
The program was devoted to
songs of the Nativity ending with
some of the more familiar ones.
But the singing itself mirrored the
spirit of Christmas in purity, un-
affectedness, finish and reverence,
in a manner that must please the
child in whose honor the program
was presented.

Rilla Rowe Mervine, mezzo So
prano, has been guided by hel
discerning musicianship in search
ing for songs not frequently pro-
grammed. A fine selection made
up her recital list in the Phillips
Gallery, where an appreciative au-
dience heard her last night
Mahler's 'Kindertotenlieder" are
among those less popular with
recitalists. as are also the two
Brahms songs with viola &C.
compartment. "Gestillte Sehn-
sucht" and "Geistliches Wiegen-
lied" George Wargo, violist. as
sisted Mrs. Mervine in these num-
bers, with jerry Witas at the
piano.
The Observation-Disclosures" were
given some Is years ago by Major
Loudon Greenless, Scottish bari
tone. with the National Symphony
playing the orchestral arrange
ment made by the composer. The
rather even tenor of the five songs
is relieved by the fuller accompa-
niment an orchestra provides.
The original piano score has pos
sibilities for diverse effects in the
hands of a pianist more skillful
than was Mr.. Witas in providing a
richly varied background. While
adhering to the musical directions
with fidelity, he did not step be-
yond the bounds to add the dra-
matte ingredient even in the more
descriptive final song, I'm diesem
Wetter."
Nor. apparently. did Mrs. Mer-
vine require that he do so. She
sang the group. the texts of which
were written by Frederick Rueck-
ert after the death of his two chill
dren, simply and with feeling. The
dignity and the grief of the
thoughts in Rueckert's lyrics were
fully realized. Yet in Mahler's
musical setting are many occa-
sions where subtle dynamic effects
can be achieved without disturb
ing the general nature of the
songs.
Mrs. Mervine's voice is warmly
toned with especially resonant
quality in the low register and is
freely produced. Her German die
ton would gain in clarity with a
more robust delivery of the con-
sonants and more distinct vowels.
The only songs Brahms wrote
with viola accompaniment are
choice ones where the quality of
the viola and the vocal timbre are
matched and interviewer. Mr..
Wargo played the obligato express
sively and with lovely tone and
Mrs. Mervine captured the inner
most sentiments with instinc-
tive appreciation particularly in
"Geistliches Wiegenlied." She has
a gift for lieder singing. The re-

Personally I like Mr. Mansfield. Some

him. He is a hard worker. AS for do

is earnest and usually effective. He
can make, and frequently does deliver
public speeches, sparkling with facts
and smiles that engage rapt attention
Of his audiences. His private life is
and has always been that of fine
home loving, outstanding American citi-
zen.
AS chairman of a Foreign Policy COM
mittee he was perhaps more responsible
for our insane acts in the Orient than
any other single Congressman or SEN
ator. (Please learn a fact unknown to
Congress. There is a difference be-
tween a million and a billion.) Mr..
Mansfield has been direct cause why
we sent IS billion to Chang kai-Shek.
Such money as got to Chang he prob
ably still can find. $19 million seems
to have been embezzled by two China
men Lobbyists in Washington. Suit was
begun to recover this, but only 1888
of the money was found The address

to Chang, he sold or blackmarketed
to the Communists, or PERMITTED them
to be easily captured. 1t was all total
loss These American weapons are used
now against our Army in Korea. They
are used against the French whom
we are supporting in Indo-C China.
In spite of that fiasco, Mr.. Mans
field an ardent supporter of the Presi-
dents War in Korea and also of Cen
eral Eisenhower's plan to hire a mer-
cenary army for us in Europe.

The Orientals have wheedled us to des-
pair with Trucetalks for 10 months.
Our ENJOYS to the Truce Talks treat
the Orientals as interiors. Courtesy
costs little; often brings much
The results of General EiSenhower'S
spending billions in Europe to gather an
army of mercenaries to defend us
against the Communist Bloc, are small,
perhaps ridiculous. He is promised 20
divisions in 1862. A division is usually
$1,000 men. 20 divisions (if not just
on paper as these are) would be 300,-
900 men.
Some days ago the Montana Stand
ard said (Poland of the Communist
Bloc had the best equipped Army in
Europe, and 100000 men in arms. These
are loyal earnest soldiers. In our Rev
dictionary War 'Mercenaries' were not
the equal of native troops. Russia is
also of the Communist Bloc. The So
viets have IT'S divisions Their divisions
are usually 10000 men: or any army of
1,750,000 men, against all of which
Gen. Eisenhower would array 100000
men. 1t is a cruel joke on the American
taxpayers. Europe, due to Mr. Mans
field and his fellow travellers, has cost
US $40 billion-for a scare crow on the
Rhine. That would fall down if the
Communist Party in France were to
gain Is per cent more of the vote.
Mr.. Mansfield is campaigning about
Russia in Northern Montana. Between
5000 and 1000 families are flooded out
in the area of his pedantry. There are
no people flooded out in the Tennes-
see Valley since IVA. Yet Mr.. Mans
field is not haranguing for a Missouri
Valley Authority. He has watched SIM
liar floods for 10 years from his perch
on "The Fence" He has not come out
for MVA yet.
The Mundt-Nixon Bill was far more
dastic against labor than the Taft
Hartley Act. Mr.. Mansfield voted for
it.
Finally, I have solved the mystery
of why Mr.. Mansfield is so popular
The Lord commanded Adam and Eve,
"Of the fruit of the tree of knowledge
We shall not eat" Obedience to that
command by Montana people is the
solution of the Mansfield surge.
