Housing Developmn
Completes Review Of
Here. in St. Thomus
The Virgin Islands Housing
and Redevelopment Authority
announced on Friday last that
the review which was being
conducted to determine the
eligibility Of families who
were admitted to the Pearson
Gardens during the months Of
August and S~eptember. 1854,
has been completed.
The review revealed that a
considerable number Of fam
lies were admitted during
that period, whose incomes
exceed the limit for admission.
However, the Authority will
not require such families to
move from the project unless
in cases where the present es-
timated income exceeds the
limit for continued occupancy.
At the same time, it was
found necessary to make adj
justments in the rent charges
Of approximately SO per cent
Of the tenants. The rent in
creases which total So range
from $1.OO to $4,000 per
month; TO decreases Of from
$l.O0 to $1,000 per month have
been made.
While the rent adjustments
could have been made retro
active to the date Of admis-
sion, the Board Of Commits
sioners agreed to make the
new rents effective January /,
1865, in order not to cause I'M
due hardship to the families
affected.
It is expected that there
will be similar adjustments re
sulting from a review Of the
tenancy at the D. Hamilton

 Tells He Was A Communist Spy

WASHINGTON, R - Winston M. Burdett, now a Columbia Broadcasting System newsman, told Senate investigators today he went to Finland during the Russo-Finnish war to spy for the Communists.
 Burdett said that for a half dozen years he had been "a de- voted and dedicated member of the Communist party"
 He said he joined while he was working for the now-defunct Brooklyn Daily Eagle and did his spy work while he was on that papers staff.
 Burdett said he broke with the party in 1922.
 Burdett, a curly-haired hand some young man in his late thir- ties, told the Senate Internal Se- curity subcommittee he joined the Communist party while working with the Eagle in 1887.
 He said "It had a very great appeal to me. I was not a casual member. I was a very devoted member, young, enthusiastic and very earnest
 Burdett said he made a clean breast of his past to the FBI in 1851 and he elected voluntarily to go before the Internal Security subcommittee.
 In New York, CBS, said it has known of Burdett's former Com munist utilization since 1851. It said it believed his break with the party 13 years ago was com plete and final, that ''he has been loyal and honest citizen ever since," and decided in 1851 to continue him in his staff position.
 The network also produced letter from Sen. Eastland (D-Miss) subcommittee chairman, saying Burdett, in earlier, private testi- mony before the committee, had rendered a real service," and that he should be commended for it.
