VISITS OF HIGH OFFICIALS

The Virgin Islands have been quite, fortunate to receive
considerable attention from t~op-ranking officials OF the new
national administration. In March 1853, Honorable Douglas
Nc Kay, Secretary Of the Interior, accompanied by Mrs. Nc
Kay, Honorable Ezra Benson, Secretary Of Agriculture, and
Mr.. Harry Nc Donald, Administrator of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, visited the Virgin Islands. These high
officials of the national government came to the islands to
attend a meeting Of the Board of Directors of the Virgin
Islands Corporation However, their visit had a much greater
significance, especially because two cabinet officers visited
the Islands within two months of the inauguration OF the
new national administration.
The Virgin Islands were the first territory to be visited
by the Secretary of the Interior who has general supervision
Of all territories and possessions of the United States. It also
enabled the Secetary to obtain a realistic view at first hand
of the conditions and the problems of the Islands. In a radio
broadcast from Government House in Charlotte Amalie the
Secretary of the Interior pledged to do his utmost to assist
in developing the prosperity and Wel-being OF the Islands.
He also stressed the fact that the progress of the Islands
must be based more and more upon the islanders own re-
sources and ingenuity.
A9{few months later, in May, the Virgin Islands were
host to Honorable Orme Lewis, Assistant Secretary OF the
Interior, and Mrs. Lewis. They visited the Islands to attend
the ground-breaking ceremonies for the Charlotte Anaalle

"The District is still, continu-

land here the Federal Govern
ment owns might otherwise be

baSSies and legations of foreign
governments, as well as lands
occupied by many non-profit
corporations here, are also tax
exempt, the report asserted.
"The Federal Government,
despite its large holdings and
the tremendous scope Of its ac-
tivities with their resultant ef-
feet on the operating expenses
OF the District, pays only 8 per
cent OF the cost of its opera
tion," the report advised the law
officers representing 300 major
communities.
The report said efforts to enact
effective legislation to compen-
safe cities for lands taken for
Federal use have thus far been
fruitlesS. 1t said it is estimated
the Federal Government owns
about Is per cent of the total

Cities Law Officers

Is Major Federal Job

The National Institute of Mu-

tion at the Mayfiower Hotel,
today defeated a proposal that
would have assigned q minor
role to the Federal Government
in civil defense.
The unsuccessful program
wuold have limited Federal par
ticipation to assembling infor-
nation in this field. Sponsors
of the proposed contended cities
and States must assume their
primary responsibility for the
safety of their own communities.
Proponents of active Federal
participation and financing in
the civil defense program argued
that. under the Constitution. the
national government has the re-
sponSibility for national defense.
Cities have neither the finances
nor the legal authority to de-
fend themselves. the speakers
said. They said that whether
Washington or mid-Western
cities are going to be bombed
the matter is a Federal respon-
sibility.
Accordingly, the Institute,
after rejecting the substitute
motion, adopted a resolution. 1t
called upon the administration
and Congress Ito re-evaluate the
civil defense program so as to
make it adequate to the needs of
our people" The resolution

subject of defense and foreign
relations, series of television

visers will be undertaken this

They have urged that he pre-

some time. The idea would be
to present different speakers on
a succession of Sunday pro-

next month.
THE President believes that
the people are entitled to the
facts" said a spokesman. He
added that the White House be-
lieves that in the past informa-
ton has been withheld when it
might have been made public.
The spokeman said the Presi-
dent is confident he has the
American people behind him but
that it is felt that if the sup
port is to be maintained the
public must know more about
what is going on.
Involved in the question of de-
fense and foreign relations is
also the inter-related subject of

as a hot subject in the next Con-
gress-also would be one of the

tional issues in this predomi-
nantly agricultural district.
In almost every instance can
didates carried their own COM
munities and lost in other coun-
ties. All had promised contin-
ued aid to agriculture.
Surprising Strength.
Mr.. Padrutt won because he
swept his home county of Chip
pewa by more than Al. He
piled up a ,2,000-vote lead in
Chippewa over George Rowe, 49,,
of Menomonie, who made a sur
prisingly strong showing to fin
ish second.
Mr.. Rowe. a former Agricul-
ture Department worker and

and the late former Senator
Robert M. LaFollette, jr., of Wis
consin, carried four of the IL

ImpeIIitteri Defeated
By Wagner, 2-1,in
New York Primary
BY the Assoeieied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The
New Deal wing of the Democratic
Party in New York administered
a resounding defeat to the con-
servative branch in scoring a
near clean sweep of city primary
elections yesterday.
Robert F. Wagner, jr., Man
haitian Borough president, rolled
up almost a 2-to-1 margin over
incumbent Vincent r. Impellit-
teri for the nomination for
Mayor.
Mr.. Wagner's candidates also
won nomination in the two con-
tests for other city-wide Offices
and in three of four contested
races for nomination as borough
president.
Complete unofficial returns
from the city's 1892 election
districts gave Mr.. Wagner $780,
474 votes, and Mr.. Impellitteri
1925.
Triumph for Liberal Wing.
The election represented a ma
1or triumph for such nationally
known Democrats as Repre-
sentative Franklin D. Roosevelt,
jr.; Senator Herbert H. Lehman
and Averell Hartman, former
mutual security director.
The outcome appeared to
curb an attempted political
comeback by James A. Farley,
former Democratic national
chairman.
In the mayoral contest 25.6
per cent of the city's 2,132.181
registered Democrats voted, a
light turnout although control
of both city and State Demo-
cratic machinery was at stake.
The heaviest party primary
turnout. 100000, was in 1887.
The victory apparently ce-
mented control of the city and
State party leadership in the
hands of the Manhattan (Tam-
many HalD and Bronx Borough
chieftains.
BOrOughs Split This Year.
Mr.. Impellitteri won as an in
dependent in 1850 after being
snubbed when the party conSid-
cred a candidate to complete
the unexpired term of resigned
Mayor William O'Dwyer.
This year. however, the five
boroughs which make up the
city split in choosing a candi-
date. The conservative wing,
including leaders of Brooklyn,
Queens and Staten Island,
backed Impellitteri.
In the beginning this shaped
up as test of strength for the
late Bronx political boss Ed
Flynn, who had been chief
spokesman for the city and
State party for many years.
Mr.. Flynn died last month,
however, and this fact threw
open the position of chief
spokesman regardless of the
primary outcome.
Mr.. Farley, who split with
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
over the third term issue in 1910,
pitched in on Mr.. Impellitteri'S
side. .

ner faction chooses to succeed
