ing the years of its ownership which / believe is thirteen
years. For that matter I am Of the opinion that the entire Vir-
gin Islands Corporation would be better off if it was under
private ownership, and get the Government out Of business.
This hog production program of which ! am interested,
which in turn could put into operation the st. Croix abat-
tor has very good and important potentialities and could
help the economy Of ST, Croix, Virgin Islands.
First the small farmers like myself can go ahead and
start raising considerable amount Of hogs besides sugarcane.
Second the operation of the abattoir would furnish en-
ployment some people and labor groups, for it is envisioned
by me that within a few years after a good stock has been
developed ST. Croix, Virgin Islands, could go into the pFoduc-
ton of its own meats, hams, etc, and furnish ST. Thomas,
American Virgin Islands; the British; French and Dutch IS
lands of the Caribbean.
l am therefore requesting that after your committee
have arrived at your plans, as to the disposal of Virgin Islands
property namely, the ST. Croix abattoir, build
ings, lands, and equipment located at estate St. Johns in
IChristiansted, st. Croix Virgin Islands. If some notification
could be ser" to me so that I can inform my other associates
as to the plans and disposition Of said St. Croix abattoir, as
regards its sale, lease, or whatever other arrangements that
your committee or the Department of Interior might recon-
mend.
I aslo want to thank you for this opportunity to appear
before you, and hope you will give some assistance and
consideration to the above request.

Remarks BY John /. Stevens. 10 the Senior Senator from
Nebraska and Chairman on Inferior and Insular Affairs
Ny name is John Leslie Stevens, and / was born. in the
United States of America, New York City. I have spent a CON
siderable part Of my life here in the Virgin Islands and have
completed my junieFsenier and 2 years Of agriculture in ami
NAL h%usbandry classes, at the vocational school at Annals
Hope, st. Croix, Virgin Islands.
/ have worked for the local government as airport mana
ger for the municipal airport, Alexander Hamilton Field, St.
Croix, v I.
At present | am operating a small farm of my own, and
I am also the secretary-treasurer of the local Republican
Club.
MI. Senator and chairman / would like to register with
your committee that there is a few American businessmen
who / am sure would desire to purchase and operate the st,
Groix abattoir to work in conjunction with a program that |
have in mind.
Ever since February 1912 I have been raising hogs on a
very small scale but have always looked forward to the day
when / could enter into this field commercially. NV delay in
really getting started on this venture was due to my woeful
lack of finances, and the poor banking facilities that existed
in these Virgin Islands however with the opening of a COM
mercial bank, namely the West Indies Bank & Trust Co, in
the Virgin Islands ] am hoping and looking forward to put
ting my complete plans into operation with the help of this
institution.
With this hog-raising project in mind, it is my opinion
andI am very optimistic that by proper planning and in
vestrnent, a sound and paying commercial hog-raising pro-
ject can be started which could in turn put into complete
operation the ST. Croix Abattoir which is at present in opera
ton but will soon be closed when the cattle dip which is now
in construction is completed. This st. Croix Abattoir will
therefore remain idle and useless as it has been for so many
years, and as I have plans for its operation besides its regu-
lar operation in producing hams and other related meat pro-
ducts I could carry on a leather and tanning business
With the above project in mind / have been securing
the aid of American businessmen and meat packing firms
to using their own capital and putting this abattoir into opera
ton for ! am sure that a private enterprise could do far bet

From the start, Mr.. Nixon used
campaign techniques different from
those OF the President. He bore down
hard on the three C's.
For instance. he gave advance
notice that the administration was
about to release another list sof
security firings" and then he used
those figures repeatedly against the
Democrats. He announced that "the
Communist Party has determined
to conduct it's program within the
Democratic Party" He requested the
Navy to withdraw the security clear
ance of the controversial scientist,
Edward U. Condor. He charged that
'"Trumanism" was responsible for the
loss of China, for the Korean war and
for the setback in Indo-China. And
he anticipated the President with the
theme that a Democratic Congress
would torpedo" the administrations
work.
Mr.. Nixon visited almost every State

For the Democrats did not have the
dramatic Nationwide campaign, the
big-name TV and radio programs or
the air caravans. All they had were
local issues-and plenty of confidence.
They had so much confidence, in fact,
that Democratic Chairman Stephen
Mitchell urged his party to ''run scared"
too. 80
Their strategy was to play up two
issues in close States and districts.
They talked unemployment in the
Surplus-labor areas and claimed the
Republicans not only were callous to-
ward the misery of the workless work
ingman but were positively happy about
their plight-WitnesS Secretary of De-
fense Wilson and his "dog' remark.
The Republicans last week moved
to take some of the curse off the unem-
ployment issue. The Census Bureau
took rush survey of the jobless picture
and found happily that unemployment
had dropped in october by 5000 per-
2,741 900 from 100000 in September.
Democrats claimed the figures were
phony, but neutral observers said they
were as good as the always-rough un-
employment figures ever were.
The second Democratic issue was
farm policy. Campaigners pulled long
faces in farm districts-almost all of
which are now held by Republicans
and cited carefully selected statistics
to show that the farmers were getting
poorer under the Republicans.
1t was simple strategy and did not

need high-priced national campaign.
II the Democrats could only hold what
they had and wean few areas away
from the opposition they could control
Congress.
And If any one pointed out the diff
culties Of running government under
a politically divided Congress and White
House. the Democrats pointed out the
difficulties President Eisenhower had
had with his Republican Congress.
Former Gov. Adlai Stevenson was the
only national spokesman for the Demo-
Gratis. He toured most Of the key States
of the Midwest and East,
No top Democrat attacked the Pres
ident himself until the Anal days Of
the campaign. It was President Eisen-
hower's statements about communism
on his Friday tour that set of the
criticism. National Democratic Chair
man Stephen A. Mitchell called the
Presidents remarks Shameful" and o
Red smear" There was some fear
among Democrats Of backfre. how

Area Democrats
Hopeful Of Gains
BY Sidney Epstein

The Democrats are heading into next Tues
days congressional elections In Maryland and Vr-
ginia in position any bettor would SAVIOR deli
ciously; they stand to lose nothing and gains seem
imminent.
This conclusion is based on a survey Of trends
in the two States over the last IA years and a
samplng Of the opinions of political experts and
writer's. t
In Maryland, the Democrats seem assured Of
holding the three seats they now occupy and of
giving the G. O. P. incumbents trouble in at least
three of the four other congressional districts.
In Virginia's 10 races, the Democrats appear
to have lock on the seven seats they hold cur
rently, and may upset at least one of the three
Republicans who swept in with President Eisen-
hover in 1852.
The two States, therefore, may provide the
Democrats with as much as half of the additional
strength they need to control the House.

Stan Jennings, show the ebb and flow of the two

Outlook

AS the campaign drew to close, the
Democrats were still confident, the Re-
publicans less discouraged following
their last-minute attacks, but still afraid
of defeat.
If they do lose. the defeat certainly
would take some of the lustre off the
President, as his recent stump trips made
him the central figure in the campaign.
The Vice President, of course, would also
lose prestige if the @. o. P. loses.
The Republicans would face Difficult
ties in getting another good G.. o. p.
program through Congress. And they
certainly would face the 1856 presiden-
tial elections with less aplomb.
But if the Democrats lose on Tuesday,
they may not be significantly worse of
than before. They would have added
some stature to opposition leaders and
would be trailing in the outlook for SO.
But challenger never has as much at
stake as the champ.

thought it interfered in Wet Mans
internal affairs. They also are said
to disapprove anything which UNDER

as French protege. Gen. Hinh holds
a French air force commission as q

On Thursday the Wet Mini opened

the American consulate from Hanoi.
They announced they do not recognize
the United States representatives there.
But the United States indicated IL

Both Communists and the State De-

Pakistan, ,-another friend of the West
in Southeast Asia, was having political
troubles last week. The governor gen.
eral, Ghulam Mohammed, suspended
Parliament when it was on the verge
of approving new constitution.
Elections-the first since 1947-now
must be held before the constitution
can be approved. The prediction Ia
that the MoSiem League, hitherto the
most powerful political party, will lose

Weeks Developments on the Foreiqn Scene

In a "non-political" speech in New
York week before last, President Eisen-
hover offered the opinion that Russia
still has not shown any real evidence
of seriousness about ending the cold
war.
Last week Marshal Tito of Yugo-
slavia challenged the Presidents con-
clusion. He believes the Soviet Union
truly wants a period of peaceful CO.
existence. His advice is to exploit this
sign Of Soviet weakness for all it is
worth.
The Western World is skeptical of
Tito's advice. He is Communist him
self, of course, and many have a hunch
he is edging back into the Moscow
orbit. Tito vehemently denies it.
But Harold E. Stassen indicated the
United States line of thinking last week
on his trip to Belgrade. He said Yugo-
slavia may not get any additional Amer
ican aid.
Tito's comment on the Soviet Unions
new foreign policy brought up again
the question of negotiating with Russia.
Secretary of State Dulles indicated last
Monday. in the televised cabinet meet
ing, that the United States would again
be ready for Big Four meeting only
after the Western European Union is
approved.

Soviet Union Joined the United States,

The trouble with democratic elections
is that the chips are left to fall
where they may. Sometimes even the
great democracies-the United States
included don't want to let them fall
that way.
In Indo-China, for instance, America
and France would have been much
happier if they could have avoided
early elections. They fear the Commu-
nists will win. Now that nationwide
voting hSs been scheduled for July 1856,

While Ho Chi Mimi is taking COM
plete political control of Northern Wet

country is shuddering with political
discord.
Last Sunday President Eisenhower
wrote Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem q
letter intended to bolster his South
Wet Nam government. The United
States repeated its promise to send
economic aid directly to the Wet
