COSTLY FIRE
sTREN0Th
IN
Unity

o THAT THE lire has died down, preliminary nves-
legations asked, and the air is somewhat cleared, it might be
well to take a passing look at the situation. The Virgin Islands
Corporation is too valuable an asset to these Islands for any
such misadventure as sweeping fire to go umotced This is
not the type of loss which can be written off and forgotten.
AS OF THIS WRITING nothing more is known about
the cause of this most costly fire which swept through several
estates, approximately 800 acres. It is unfortunate that the
fire started in the area where the imported workers were
assigned. It is also most unfortunate that concdentaly this
should have been the very group which saw dissension in
their ranks.
U THE FIRE AT Virgin Islands Corporation, coming
at this particular time, is nothing to be taken lightly. Every
such loss helps to reduce the chances for continued operation.
Alreadythe Corporation has a difficult enough time trying to
Justify it's operations based upon strict business principles.
Such a loss therefore adds considerably to its deficit and poses
new and greater problems.
THERE time in the life of the island when
leadership is called upon to brush aside whatever smallness
there may be, and come forth with the type of stature which
iustifes the right to continue leading There must be the
ability to see the forest, and not become SO absorbed with the
trees and twigS that the entire point is lost. In this connection,
then it might be we'll for those who would lead to realize that
all effort is defeated if it cuts in both directions. While the
immediate results might seem selfshly satisfying, the outcome
is inevitably distressing, and to the very ones who hit in both
directions.
THE N TIM when labor can rise to new heights
and when those who lead have the best opportunity to prove
maturity is during the crop season. It is at this time that the
labor market is tight, when the tendency to mistake a tenn
porary economic situation for real power looms large, and
leadership gets its real test. This is therefore the time when
leadership must not be lacking
BECAUSE Of WHAT the Virgin Islands Corporation
means to US all, it has the moral backing OF us all. We are GER

RUSHVHLE, Nebr., Oct. 10
"A Severl-week-old mystery was
solved today when a 19-year-old
farm boy led authorities to the
body of pretty 13-year-old Karen
Talbot of Rushville in a shallow,
improvised grave in a pasture
near this northeast Nebraska
town of 1900.
Duane McLain. 10, a star ath-
lete at Rushville High School
before his graduation last spring.
told authorities he was angered
when Karen resisted his attempt
to kiss her. He said he first
struck her with his fist, then
struck her with a hammer and
finally shot her with a rifle.
McLain pleaded guilty to first
degree murder in a pre-dawn ar
raignment before County Judge
Clarence E. Benschotte and was
hustled away to an undisclosed
place for safe keeping.
Authorities feared local feel
ing might run so high as to
threaten his safety. Towns
people, however, wer described
as sh ocked to learn that a home
town boy whom Everybody
liked" was involved.

Reaction in Senate IS Varied
To Non-Aggression Pact

marks directly to free elections,
both Senators Wiley and Fergu-
son called for deeds from Russia
to indicate that the Soviet lead
ers want to settle the causes Of
East West friction.
Can you tell me when any
new evidence has come into the
picture that any agreement with
Russia) would be more than a
scrap Of paper?" asked Senator
Wiley, chairman Of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
Understands Force.
The wisconsin Senator said he
has seen no evidence yet to indi-
cate that Russia understands
anything but force" For that
reason, he said, the United
States must continue to be ready
to meet all emergencieSa.
Senator Wiley agreed the
diplomats should continue to
seek ways of bringing about a
better understanding, ''but we
must make sure the talks do not
operate as an opium on our
people. .
Senator Sparkman disagreed
with the conclusion Of Senator
Knowland that a non-aggression
pact without free elections would
be a mistake.
"I don't see anything in as
suring Russia that we have no
aggressive intent that would
condemn those countries (behind
the Iron Curtain) to continued
slavery"
Senator Sparkman said the
suggestion for non-aggresSion
pact is based on the assumption
that the Russians fear aggression
from the West.
1--WE know she. is not justified
in any such fear, but let's do
something to let the world know"
said the Alabaman.
Adds New Condition.
Senator Ferguson laid down a
new condition. He said a nom
aggression pact should be aimed
at stopping political inflltration
as well as military force.
The Michigan Senator said
that when the United States rec
ognized Russia it thought there
would be no political agrees
sion." of efforts to take over
other countries by political in
filtration. He point out that
China was taken over in that
manner, without military aggres-
sion.
He expressed belief that if
pact could be entered into that
would ban such political as well
as military, I'VE will accomplish
something toward peace"
