DENVER, Colo March 6-Judgt
William Lee Knous of the local fe-
deral court last Tuesday ruled in
favor of Harry G.. Matoba in his
petition for U. S citizenship in an
oral decision
A hearing on this case had been
held on Nov rs at which the local

lization had been refused because
of his "5-F" World War I draft sta
tus. had filed his appeal
In his decision Tuesday. Judge
Knous said that he agreed in all
points with the decision rendered by
Federal Judge Louis E Goodman of
San Francisco in a similar "5-F'
case on Dec. %
In his ruling on the naturalization
petition by Kazuichi Tsuii of San
Francisco. Judge Goodman upheld
the contention of Tsuji's attorneys
that all on-declarant aliens inclu-
ding 1Ssei were never required to
serve in the military forces during
World War and that the 1852 Wal
ter-McCarran immigration and ma
tionality act provision on "ineligibi-
lily to citizenship" was not meant
to apply to those classified "5-F" in
1917-18.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
LOCAL REPUBLICANS who dreamed {

LOCAL REPUBLICANS who dreamed OF Whettlng
their appetites on the second highest executive position in the
Virgin Islands will to content themselves with less. The Pre-
sident has appointed Charles Kenneth CIaunch to be Govern
ment Secretary Of the Virgin Islands. And to end any possible
misgivings, the new Secretary will take office on April 4,
eight days before the Governor.
If THERE IS any reason for making this appointment
than the fact that it was recommended by Senator Butler, it
is not known. Il would Be purely conjectural to say that the
appointment gives the new Governor a direct pipeline to the
White House. That the Governor would have, anyway, since
he knows the President personally, and is an important figure
in the Republican party.
THER is bound to be a tinge Of disappointment in
the minds Of many people here. Realsts al, we know that he
who controls the purse strings controls all Yet, there was
lingering hope that perhaps the two top executive positions
would not 60 to strangers, and that at least the lesser one
would have gone to native recognition. But it is too late now
to lament.
HERE is ANOTHER clear example of the way in which
the local Republican club has muffed its chances, and must
now content itself with trying out its voice in the less spec
tacular positions. Perhaps it is time to realize that little more
than courtesy is entaled 50 far as the local club is concerned
in relation to the national group
FROM WHAT WE can understand, the nenw Governor
is bringing his staff with him, including his executive assist
ami. Iii this he has every authority, and the perogatve is
solely his to appoint those who must work in closest harmony
with him. Nevertheless, in any inner cabinet, top level stra-
tegy, the realization must come that, except for the good
graceS of the Governor, no native may have a voice. In a
democracy, where talk continues Of the right Of self rule,
such a situation can leave a feeling Of not belonging.
WE CONSTANTLY repeat that the people Of the Virgin
Islands are the most kindly, friendly, hospitabIe and coopera-
i've md fheSe new officials will have much to work with.

To the Bitter End

The fall of Dien Bien Phu is a painful thing
to contemplate. For one did not have to be in
the jungles of Indo-China to witness the scene.
1t was all too plain in the minds eye-some
$4,000 gallant men fighting and dying to the
bitter end.
There is no need now to aggravate the
sorrow and the bitterness by debating the
wisdom of the French decision to make this
stand. Perhaps, militarily speaking, it was
blunder. The political consequences may be
grave. But who, really, can say as to this?
Premier Laniel spoke of the fortress and
Its garrison as having been Submerged" It
was happy choice of a word. For he who
surrenders is finished. But that which is sub
merged may rise again. And so it is with Diem
Bien Phu. General Christian de Castries and
his men are dead or prisoners of war. But the
example which they have Set assuming among
the rest of US degree of courage and resou-
ton comparable to theirs, may yet serve to
arouse free men to the menace which casts its
shadow far beyond the ruins of Diem Bien Phu.
IT this proves to be the case, it may we'll be
said that General de Castries and his men
were submerged, but not defeated.
