Puerto Rico Halls Her Gains
In First 2 Years Of Freedom
Dr.. Fernos-I sern
Reports Higher
STANDARD Of Living

1.-THE people Of Puerto Rico
now have a feeling of perma-
hence and solidity after being
afflicted for many years by UNI
certainty over their political
status and their future
That is the way DR.. Antonio
Fernos- Isern, Puerto Rico's resi-
dent commissioner in Washing
ton appraiSeS the effect of the
establishment of the Common
wealth of Puerto Rico just two
years ago today.
A companion effect, DR.. Fernos-
Isern reports, is a '.step-up in
the rhythm" of improvements in
the economy. education and gen.
eral well-being of the people of
Puerto Rico.
Have Own Constitution.
Commonwealth status gave
Puerto RicanS a constitution of
their own and practically all the
rights and powers of a state ex-
cept voting privileges in Con-
gress. Before the Commonwealth,
the island had large measure
of self-government, but it was
based on an act of Congress, not
on their own constitution. DR..
Fernos -Isern, interviewed in his
Capitol Hill Office, put it this
way:
THE Commonwealth has salts
fed the natural desire of the
people of Puerto Rico to have a
status that cannot be classified
as colonial. Before, they felt that
they were just recipients of a
government conferred by Wash
ington. Now they have a body
polite Of their own and their
relationships with the United
States are governed by a COM
pact"
DR.. Fernos-Isern, an M. D.
with freckles and a friendly grin,
originated the Commonwealth
idea in 1916 when he decided
that neither independence nor
statehood, both of which had
many advocates, were practical
goals. His idea was embraced
by Luis Munoz Marin, the
popular governor of the island,
and in 1851 DR.. Fernos-Isern pre-
sided over a constitutional con-
yention. Congress ratified the
new constitution on July 8, 1858,
and the commonwealth came into
being on July Is.
Higher Standard of Living.
The COMMISSIONS reported
that Puerto Rico now has
standard Of living equal to that
of any Latin American country
except Argentina and Venezuela.
BY Offering tax concessions and
other measures in Operation
Bootstrap," he said, it has at
tracted textile. plastic, glass,
ceramic, drug and other indus
tries. Also there have been step
ups in such traditional industries
as sugar. coffee, cigar-making
and rum distilling. The tourist
trade is growing, too.
In regard to education, DR..
Fernos-Isern proudly noted:
Sat the turn of the century,
we had 80 per cent illiteracy.
Now we have 80 per cent literacy.
And this was achieved while in
PRODUCING English in all the
schools, from first grade on, so
that now Puerto Rico is truly BIZ
tlingual."
The doctor said that about
two-thirds of Puerto Rico's
voters support the party which
sponsored the Commonwealth.
The others are split between in

groups, with a stable edge for
the former.
Criticizes Nationalist.
Fanatical nationalist of the
type who made the Blair House
attempt on President Truman's
life in 1850 and shot UP the
House of Representatives cham
Der this year number no more
than 500. DR.. Fernos-Isern said.
These people," he declared
"have lost contact with reality.
They refuse to see what is before
their eyes. They talk as If Puerto
Rico were a colony in the worst
sense of the word. That's not so.
They are not fighting the United
States Government, but Puerto
Rican government and they are
going counter to the wishes of
the people"
DR.. Fernos- Isern feels that
Puerto Rican progress is of great
Importance to the United States.
He explained:
1--WE are a sort Of show win
dow, demonstrating to other
Spanish American countries the
benefits that can come from re-
lationships with the United
States. Representatives OF many
Spanish American nations come
to Puerto Rico to see what tech
biological assistance from the
United States has done for U.s."
There will be parades and
speeches in Puerto Rico today.
but DR.. Fernos-Isern will not be
there because Congress is still in
session. Instead, he'll honor the
occasion with a speech in the
House of Representatives, where
he has all the privileges of men,
bership except the right to vote
on legislation.

Mr. Morris eyed a long, cheer

The village occupies buildings
formerly used by the Training

House Group Approves
Ford Theater Restoration

The House Interior Commit.
tee has approved, and sent to
the House for action. legislation
calling on the Secretary of the
Interior to prepare estimates of
costs for the restoration of Ford's
Theater here.
The Senate-passed joint res
olution would require the Inter-
ior Secretary to report to Con-
gress on "the most appropriate
treatment in order to preserve
and interpret Ford's Theater"
as it was April IA. 1865. when
President Lincoln was assassi-
mated there.
Also requested from the Secre-
tary would be an estimate Of
costs for exhibiting elsewhere
the famous Olroyd collection Of
relics, now displayed in the the
ater. If the historic old place
were completely reconstructed.
it might be necessary to put the
relics in another building nearby.
The resolution does not au-
thorize the expenditure of any
funds.

It has often been said that
more quackery. fake cures and
solve-all-salves are aimed at
arthritis and rheumatism suf-
ferers than any other group of
sick persons.
Perhaps about $50 persons will
be more skeptical of mail-order
pain killers" after hearing sew
eral members of the Alexandria
Medical Society last night
frankly declare there are no
"single-shot cures" in the treat
ment of arthritis and rheuma-
tism.
Experts in the two painful and
crippling illnesses have often
told colleagues much the same
story. But the public seldom
has had a chance to sit in on
such discussions, with medical
terms geared to their under
standing.
Another chance came last
night in the second in q series
of health forums, sponsored by
the society and Alexandria civic
clubs. The third such forum
will be held at $3.50 pm. next

he couldn't stop it. The others
are 10 years old.
Clay Logan, 1898 Astor place

property.
The bulldozer eventually
bumped into the brick wall and
stopped and the boys fed.
Police arrived about the same
time and rounded up the four.
The three 10-year-old boys were
charged with unauthorized use
of the bulldo2er. The 12-year-
old boy was charged with de-
stroying private property.
Damage to the brick wall was
slight, police said.
