PREDICTS CRISIS
IN ST. CROIX WITH


st. Croix Assemblymen pre-
dicted on Friday last that
establishment Of a single lie
gislature and treasury for the
Virgin Islands will not only
result in the closing Of offices
and the laying off Of many
employees in st. Croix, but
subject the people Of that is
land to more fragrant acts of

officials.
Arguing anew for a change
of the Islands capital f rom
Charlotte Amalie to Christian
sted, they declared it is the
only way to achieve real unity
and to accord to St. Croix
what it justly deserves.
Assemblyman Eric Carroll

is always making excuses to

By Humphrey After
Remark on Writers
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Democratic Senator Humphrey,
OF Minnesota, challenged today
an assertion by Majority Leader
Taft that the majority Of Wash
ington writer's tend to be anti
Republican"
Senator Humphrey also ex-
pressed belief that the Republi-
cans will be making political
mistake if they follow Senator
Taft's suggestion to campaign in
next years congressional elec-
ton on failures" of the Tru-
man administration.
In a Look Magazine article,
made public last night, Senator
Taft said it was clear to him
that a majority of the Wash
ington writer's are inclined to
view the Eisenhower administra-
ton with a critical eye"
Most Of them supported the
New Deal during a period of 20
years, and it is hard to change
the habits of a lifetime" he said.
Senator Taft added in an in
terview he was talking primar-
lily about columnists and COM
mentators.
Observing that "the mistakes
at Yalta and other policies that
bequeathed us the Korean war
must be constantly developed
and brought out" Senator Taft
said a Senate committee inveSti-
cation Of the Truman admins
tration Should bring out addi-
tional facts relating to corrup-
ton"
Senator Humphrey took issue
with Senator Taft's contention
that the majority of Washing
ton correspondents is anti-Re-
publican.
MY impression has been that
the Eisenhower administration
has an unusually favorable
press" he said. II know that the
Truman administration had no
such support from the press as
the Republicans are enjoying"

Wilson Plan 10 Trim
Military Hit by Army
And Air Force

Secretary of Defense Wilson
has received strong protests from
the Army and Air Force over his
proposed cuts in military man.
power from the levels proposed
by the Truman administration.
The Army stated that the Will
son plan, if carried out, would
mean redeployment of troops
and specifically pulling some out
of Korea. It maintained there
would not be enough soldiers left
for minimum obligations and
this country's contribution to the
U. N. effort in the Far East.
The Army'S protest was sent
to the defense chief before the
latest Communist peace over
lures and was made on the basis
of a proposal to cut defense
spending from $41.2 billion in
new money, as proposed in the
Truman budget, to a $35 billion
figure.
The Army statement is said
to have received a poor recep-
ton in high defense levels.
However, Mr.. Wilson also has
ordered estimates on the basis of
a cutback to $50 billion. The
departments are now preparing
answers to that proposal.
The Air Force also is taking a
dim view of the Wilson economy
moves. The decision for delay
taken last year put off until 1855
completion of the planned 143
wings. Air Force officials main
tanned any further Stretch-out
would drastically hurt moderni-
zation of the air arm.
The Air Force is said to have
asked the Secretary to- reverse
his order cutting that services
civilian payroll by 5000.
The Navy, which so far has
gone along with the cuts, an
nounced yesterday it would re-
duce civilian employment at
Navay ordnance plants by 3,043
by the end of May. Included
is a $50 cutback at the Naval
Fun Factory here.
