SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

IT SEEMS AS if Governor Alexander said SO much in
his informal talk before a mass meeting in New York recent
" that considerable thought is being given to all OF 1t,
Among the things said was that one of the great needs OF the
place is soamder education and better preparation at the be
ginning stages. This being the case the Governor told his
audience in effect that he would see to it that better nursery
schools are built.
WHITTIER THAT meant that he would secure Federal
appropriations for the purpose, or ne would build at least one
such school out Of his own pocket is not entirely clear, but
it left some of his hearers thinking seriously In either case
the result would be most welcome and serve a most worthy
cause.
DONATION of such a thing as a school out Of the
Governors personal pockets would be a precedent-shatter-
ing example. In the first place the Governor, as everyone
knows, has the wherewithaI, 50 that such a school would
make nary a dent But much, much more important is the
effect of such {. contribution.
THROUGHOUT the United States in cities, towns, vii
lagos, countless college and university camPuses, buildings,
books, clinics, programs, studies, scholarships, and what have
YOU, bear eloquent testimony to the generosity OF donors OF
every degree Of economic level. In this respect the Virgin
Islands are eloquent in their silence.
THIssIS NOT to say that we expect the same things as
tie RockSeTellers, the Du Points, and the like give, but as we
loo5k about, there are no schools, clinics, scholarships, a shelf
Of books, an ambulance, or anything lasting that bears the
name Of a local donor whose contribution to local lite car
ri6ss into posterity. Nor is it necessary that such donations be
purely individual projects. Cooperation in this regard is just
as effective as cooperation in every other endeavor.
If WHAT Governor Alexander mentioned in New York
with respect to nursery schools is interpreted to mean a per
sonal contribution, fellow through would undoubtedly set
a pattern which could open an area not hitherto touched

the warmongers of the United

"They now allege that these
two groups of spies were merely
prisoners of war captured during

claim, should be repatriated ac-
cording to the Korean armistice

White House Prepares Order
Requiring All U. S. Agencies
To Recognize EmpIoye Unions
CSC Helped Droft
Plan to Strengthen
Bargaining Rights
By Joseph Young

The White House has drafted
presidential executive order to
give strong bargaining rights to
Government employe unions,
The Star learned yesterday.
The draft has been sent to the
various Federal agencies for
their comment and suggestion
regarding any changes or revi-
sions in the proposed order.
The presidential order would
require each, agency to recognize
Government employe unions and
set up machinery to deal with
them on all major internal
agency personnel policy matters
and employe grievances. Each
agency would be required to issue
regulations to this effect within
six months after the order went
into effect.
The order would represent the
first time in 42 years that the
executive branch of the Govern
ment has taken formal steps to
recognize Government employe
unions officially.
Never Formally Recognized.
The Lloyd-LaFollette Act of
1912, approved by Congress, per-
mitted Government employees to
join unions but the executive
branch of Government has never
formally recognized them. Many
agencies deal with Government
employe groups on personnel
matters, but mostly on an un-
official basis
The proposed order would not
affect the dealings of Govern
ment employe unions with Con-
gress on matters. of legislation.
Employe groups already have
strong working relationships
with the various committees of
Congress dealing with Govern
ment employe legislation.
The draft of the proposed
order was made in cooperation
with Civil Service Commission
officials. 1t was sent to the
various agencies on Friday.
Provisions of Order.
The proposed order reads:
Whereas more effective pub
lie management will result from
participation OF employees, when
ever feasible, in the formulation
of major personnel policies af-
fecting them: and
Whereas the public interest
requires that the head or heads
of each department, agency, in
dependent establishment, and
corporation wholly owned or
controlled by the United States
(herein after termed 'agencyD
shall develop effective means for
consulting with employees when
ever feasible and practicable
concerning m a jor internal

lation:
"Now, therefore, by virtue OF
the authority vested in me as
President OF the United States,
by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States, 1t is
hereby ordered as follows:
"Section /. The head of each
agency is directed to develop

pirate means of consultation be-
tween administrative officials
and employees in the formulation
of major internal agency per-
