Officials Of Public
Housing Adm. Visit
Virgin islands

Lawrence Bloomberg, Cher
Economist, & Ken Cavanaugh,
Chief of Management of the
Public Housing Administra-
ition visited the Virgin Islands
on Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, according to a re
lease received from the Hous
ing Division yesterday. The
officials were accompanied
by Messrs. Francis S~erviates,
and Theodore Goshen of the
Puerto Rico Regional Office.
While here the Public Hous
ing Administration represen-
tatives conferred with the Vir
gin Islands Housing & Redeve
|lopment Authority on a num-
Der of important matters with
particular attention being Civ
en- to the request of the local
Housing Authority for approx
al Of increases in the Maxi
mum Limits for Continued
Occupancy for Federally-aid-
led projects in the Virgin Is
lands. Following the discus
sions it was made known that
the Housing Authority will
apply to the Public Housing
administration to raise the in
come limits for continued oc-
|cupancy to $1,000, $1,000 and
$4,000 for two, three and four
persons families, respectively.
The present limits are $1,000,
$4,000 and $2125. The sole rea-
son for making such applica-
ton being that a study made
shows that families, at least
up to this income level and
'probebly higher, cannot find
standard housing within their
means. The Housing Author

have been assisted through
good housing over a period
of time should not be forced
back into the slums from
which they were taken, and
the Authority will, therefore,

Vault for the Future

The George Washington University'S
"vault for the Future" to be dedicated
tomorrow in honor of Charles H. Tomp-
kinS, will provide our descendants CEN
fury from now with authentic data on
engineering progress as we know it today.
And judging from the advances made by
engineering in the century behind us, the
engineers who open the vault in the year
2056 will wonder how we managed to
accomplish what we have.
A century ago engineers achieved
wonders without the aid Of electronic
brains, atomic power and push-button
automation. Even such indispensable Ito
us) equipment as tractors, trucks, cater
pillar-tread earth movers, electric, pneu-
matte and hydraulic tools and q wide
variety Of precision instruments was un-
known 100 years ago. Yet fine buildings
went up, sturdy bridges were constructed
and many other engineering feats were
achieved. One wonders what new devices
the next century will produce-and
whether the Improvements will be pri-
marty for construction or destruction.

No Laughing Matter

The Federal Government has lost
another key man to better paying Job
on the outside.
The latest to go is Samuel M.
Brownell, 56, United States Commissioner
Of Education. DR.. Brownell's Government
job paid $14,800-pretty good as such
things go. But Detroit wanted him as its
superintendent of schools, and was pre-
pared to pay him $4,000 year under a
t1ve-year contract.
Referring to this much greater A.
nancial inducement, DR.. Brownen said:
"You Just can't laugh 1t off," And Of
course you can't. But it is hardly laugh
ing matter when private industry, or, as
in this case, a city can so successfully out
bid the Federal Government for the Serv-
ices Of key people.

Inex0ct Science

Ample proof that medicine is not
an exact science can be found in the
current debate concerning the Presidents
chances Of making a full and permanent
recovery from ileitis However, it is not
debate which proves much of any
thing else.
For the sake Of simplification, the
parties to this debate can be called the
pesSimiStS and the optimiStS. The
pessimistS have been drawing upon medi-
cal literature for their arguments. These
arguments, generalized in nature, boil
down to the proposition that there is a
high rate OF recurrence in ileitiS, even
after surgery, and that it is less than
realistic to think that the President is
going to be in better health after he
RECEIVERS from the operation than he was
before.
The team of optimists, medically
speaking, is headed by the physicians who
have been attending the President. Their
belief, in summarized form, is that the
President is making an excellent recovery,
that he may be in even better health as
result of his operation, and that, from
the medical standpoint, there is no
reason why he should not seek reelection.
They are supported by DR.. Burrill B.
Crohn, who identified ileitiS in, 1882. DR..
Crohn, not having treated the President,
Is also dealing in generalities. In an inter-
view with U. S. News and World Report,
however, he summed it up this way:
1leitiS recurS in almost 100 per cent of
the cases prior to surgery. After surgery
1t recurS in about 35 per cent of the
cases. occurrences in the latter category,
however, are usually treated with routine
medical procedures. Only rarely is it
necessary to reoperate.
This debate, while inconclusive, GER
tainly was inevitable, and probably is
useful up to point. Most people had
never heard of ileitis prior to the Presi-
dents operation. Consequently, espe-
cially If Mr. Eisenhower runs again, it is
desirable that the voters should know as
much as possible about the disease and its
probable future course.
To say this, however, is to emphasize
the debates limits of usefulness. Any
medical opinion, generalized or specific,
contains an element of gueSswork Nobody
knows whether Mr.. Eisenhower is going to
have recurrence of this disease, and, If
he should run again and be reelected,
the strong probability is that nobody will
know until some time after he has
embarked on his second term. So the
average Eisenhower voter, again assum-
ing second-term bid, is not going to
have the benefit of any exact knowledge
as to what can be looked for in the future.
He will have to mark his ballot and take
his chances.

Meaning of Words

Averell Hartman is finding it little
difficult to carry water-or words-on
both shoulders.
The New York Governor arrived in
Denver last Saturday in time to hear
himself described by Oklahoma's Gov
ernor Gary as moderate" on the
question Of public school Indignation.
Governor Gary was confident that Mr..
HarrimanS moderate" stand on this
issue would be acceptable to the South.
Governor Hartman, evidently, was
not too happy with this. Having described
himself only the day before as zealot
on the Indignation issue, he said in Denver
that he would have chosen a different
word from moderate" to describe his
attitude. "But I'm using different terms,
that's ALL" he said. Governor Gary's
statement stands and mine does, too. I'd
say with zeal. But then I don't want to
argue over the meaning Of words"
There is, however, a difference In
meaning. According to our dictionary,
moderate and zealot are not exactly
synonymous. The former is one who goes
for the cool, judicious approach. A zealot
Is an enthusiast, fanatical partisan. We
suspect that Governor Hartman, before
he is through, is going to have an argu-
ment over the meaning of words, and that
he also is going to have to decide which
word best fits his case. He can't hope to
stand on his own statement and on Gov
ernor Gary's, too.

Chance in Israel

MoSne SnarettS resignation as Is
raels Foreign Minister injects a new
element Of uncertainty into the Middle
East situation, at least temporarily. Al
though they have been close associates
for many years past, he and Premier
David Ben-Gurion have differed in recent
~ponthS, and his departure from the
cabinet thus seems to foreshadow some
change in policy vis-a-vis the Arab states.
At any rate, Mr.. Sharett-whose
successor is Mrs. Coda Myerson, an ALL
out supporter Of the Premier's domestic
and international policies-has long had
the reputation Of being more cautious.
and more moderate than Mr.. Ben-Gurion
in coping with the tensions of the Middle
East. So there is rather widespread
feeling, right or wrong, that Israel may
now tend to be tougher in dealing with
foreign affairs, particularly as regards its
present ceaSe-fire arrangements with the
Arabs.
Israeli sources, however, have made
point OF diScounting the possibility Of
serious change along that line, and their
assurances are supported in part by Mr..
Ben-Gurion'S solemn pledge-voiced
few months ago-that Israel twill not
start war;" Moreover, despite reports
that the Premier favors holder policies
than those carried out under Mr.. Sharett,
there is no current evidence that he has
any desire to be deliberately pugnacious
or act in way that could cause q renewal
of full-scale hostilities.
Yet, regardless Of what the Premier
may or may not have in mind, there are
Israeli elements that definitely advocate
a tough" course. Some of them, for
example, would like to have their country
unilaterally decide to resume work on the
Jordan River water-diversion project.
This project has been suspended, in keep
ing with a U. N. Security Council ruling.
since late in 1858. Accordingly, any talk
in Israel about starting it up again, in
defiance of that ruling, serves only to
create tension, the more so because Of
Arab warnings that such action would
have the effect Of multiplying the cease-f1re
agreements.
It is for reasons of this sort that
Mr.. Sharett's resignation has caused
uneasiness outside Israeli suspicion
that the change in foreign ministers may
remove the kind of restraining influence
that is needed on all sides in the Middle
East. The feeling may be altogether
unwarranted, OF course, but it exists
nonethelesS. What must be hoped for in
the circumstances is that it will not be
Substantiated by any words or acts of the
Ben-Gurion government.
