CONSTANTINE BROWN
Election Year Pressure Seen Lesseninq
Likelihood of Slash Beinu Restored

he may go down to defeat If
he votes for the administra-
tons request to restore more
than half a billion dollars OF
the Houses cut in foreign aid.
His opponent, Representative
Glenn Davis. has voted for the
slash. According to Wiscon-
sin sources, the people of that
State are among the Middle
Westerners who see no reason
why foreign aid should be
continued on a large scale.
Another Republican leader,
Senator Everett Dirksen Of
Illinois. also is in a quandary.
His reelection chances are
said to be better than fair, but
only If he complies with the
demands of many of his con-
stituents who oppose any fur
ther heavy largess on the part
of Uncle Sam.
Senator Dirksen is one Of
the White Houses faithful
supporters. A year ago, after
a trip around the world, he
not only voted for the full
amount demanded by the adj
ministration in the foreign
aid bill for the fiscal year 956,
but even made a speech from
the floor in support of the bill.
OF course. last year the smiles
of Bulganin and Khrushchev
were not as broad as now. and
the Western members of NATO
appeared more decided than
at present to contribute as
much as possible to strength
ening that military coali
ton. Moreover, objections of
Illinois constituents were less
loud and meaningful than they
are in an election year when
each voter feels his oats.
Senator George Bender of
Ohio has joined nine other
Republican Senator'S in an ap-
peal for support of the Presi-
dents plea for restoration of
the $1.1-billion House cut in
foreign aid. Senator Bender,
who is headed for a tough fight

against Gov. Frank Lausche.
showed a good deal of courage
in the face of reported senti-
ment in his State against
further large-scale foreign aid.
These Senators and a num-
Der of others are weighing the
advantage of full White House
support in the election against
the possible resentment Of
their constituents.
Polls taken in the Senate
show. furthermore, that many
Senators who either are not
in the election mill this year
or have safe seats, are de-
termined to uphold the $1-bil-
lion slash unless the State and
Defense Departments give
them tangible reasons as to
why the cut should not be re-
tanned. Generalities and slo-
gans accepted in the past have
become unacceptable.
Mail received by legislators
shows that in more than half
OF the States in the Union the
people seem to have had
enough of indiscriminate for
eign aid.
The nicetieS of high policy
obscurely presented by the
State Department-on why,
for instance, Yugoslavia should
continue to get American boz
nanzas while Tito openly plays
footsie with the Kremlin-are
not well received by the gen.
eral public. Its normal tend
ency is to see things in black
Oh white. And Tito appears
mighty black to all, except the
diplomats. The same feeling is
shown in congressional mail
about India. despite the efforts
of American biologists to
show that Nehru's closenesS to
the Soviet and Chinese Com
munists is neutralism as pure
white as the driven snow.
These feelings of the general
public. and not the personal
inclinationS of the Senators,
are the key factors in whether
President Eisenhower will be
granted his request for at
least partial restoration Of the
aid slash.

DORIS FLEEsoN

An excess of propaganda is
beginning to get in the way of
the public dialogue about Pres
ident Eisenhower's health.
That dialogue is necessary and
proper because the health of
the President is an affair Of
state with grave consequences
to this country and the world.
The psychological warfare
over the Presidents new ILL
ness was begun by his Army
doctors almost before he was
out of the ether. His aides
are continuing it.
The Democrats are starting
to fight back. These attempted
manipulations of public opinion
can be expected to continue
until they cease to have a
point.
Even the medical profession
outside the Government is join
ing in. DR.. David Altman, a
candidate for president of the
American Medical Association,
for example. told reporters in
Chicago that when President
Eisenhower RECEIVERS he will be
in better physical condition
than any of his opponents. Re-
publican or Democrat, have
been at any time in their lives. :"
DR.. Altman never attended any
of these men. AS the Milwau-
kee Journal points out, such
silly stuff tends to degrade the
medical profession.
History shows that this is
the way people are. Such is
the stuff of the power and
advantage to be derived from
the Office of the presidency.
Yet whatever is or is not
true in the propaganda war,
the disease which required
surgery for the President is a
fact for which ample litera-
ture exists. That literature is
available. In at least two
cases of unquestioned respect
ability and authority it cuts
across the optimism dispensed
at Walter Reed last Saturday

Exception Is Taken to Some Statements
BY Ex-senator Cain on Security Issue


Cain does not have access to
the files of the Department Of
Justice, so he does not know
how many persons who have
had bad records of dealing
with foreign governments or
their agents may have been
found and discharged without
publicity. Sometimes testimony
obtained by State governments
and city police bureaus through
tapped telephone wires cannot
be used as evidence in Federal
courts and hence prosecutions
are not pressed, but the en-
ployes in question are dis
missed.
Another serious error made
by former Senator Cain con-
Germs the unfortunate case of
the Air Force analyst whom
he publicly defended a few
weeks ago because there was
such long delay in adjudicat-
ing the case by the Air Force.
It will be recalled that the
analyst, after a long period of
suspension, advertised for a job
in the classified advertising
columns of a local newspaper
and was contacted last Febru-
airy by a member of the Soviet
Embassy staff in Washington.
Promptly. the former Air Force
employe told his attorney about
it and arranged a meeting with
the Russian for a few days
later. Full information on the
interview was relayed to the
FBI. But here is what former
Senator Cain said about the
episode in his May S speech:
1.-THE Russian was smart in
assuming that he had found
his pigeon in an American
whose Government would not
hire him or fire him. The Rus
sian had reason to believe that
his intended American prey
was not likely to be employed
by any other American until
our subjects government had
decided what to do with the
body"
From the foregoing, it could
be inferred that the Air Force
analyst unbosomed himself to
the Russian and told him all
about his status as a sus-
pended security risk. But the
Air Force analyst did nothing
of the kind. He didn't reveal
anything about his own case
to the Russian. This informa-
ton comes from reliable
sources in our own Govern
ment.
Then why does Cain say

DAVID LAWRENCE

Former United States Sen
ator Harry Cain Of the State
of Washington says there have
been tragic mistakes made in
the handling of the security
risk program and he doubts
whether any such program is
really needed.
Mistakes however, in ham
ding dismiSsalS or suspensions
of Government employees have
cropped up from time to time
in Government procedures,
and many of them happened
long before the Communist
menace developed.
Even Cain, well-intentioned
though he is. has himself made
some rather serious mistakes
of fact in his crusade to dis
credit the security-risk pro-
gram of the Government, as he
pooh-poohs Communist efforts
to inflltrate the Government
here. Doubtless they were un-
intentional mistakes, but so
are the mistakes of the bureau
Gratis whom he criticizeS.
Thus, on May 5 last, Cain
made a speech in New York
before the National Trade
Union Conference on Civil
Rights. Speaking Of the adj
ministration's security-riSk
program, he said:
In three years of effort, we
have found no spies or traitors,
Saboteurs or Communists in
positions of trust. Perhaps they
are there but we have not I'M
covered them with the ma
chinery at our command"
Cain overlooked the case of
Joseph S. Petersen, jr., who is
now in jail serving a sentence
for having passed on to an
agent of a European govern
ment some of the most highly
confidential codes of the United
States Government. For near
ly five years prior to December
1852, Petersen was doing this
and was caught in 1854 only
when the Eisenhower admin
istration put through its check
ing system under the existing
security-risk program. Some
OF the codes stolen were of
such a highly important nature
that they were not introduced
at the trial but were shown in
chambers to the judge.
Before he was arrested, Peter.
sen used to write letters to
newspapers vehemently pro-
testing that the Security-risk
program was unfair and I'M
necessary.

Even though employment was at q peak during this
year, there was a large decline in the number Of injury re-
ports, as a result Of the efforts Of our safety inspectors.
During the month Of January, the Commissioner Of
immigration and Naturalization, United States Depart
ment Of Justice, and his staff met with officials Of the
United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Is
lands, to discuss the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of this area.
AS a result of this conference, the immigration and Natu-
radiation Service issued new regulations for the adnis-
sion of residents Of the British Virgin Islands to the Unit
ed States Virgin. Islands for the purpose Of temporary
employment. This plan was not designed to deprive any
United States Virgin Islander of employment, but to re-
gulate the entry of British Virgin Islanders, and to pre-
vent the strain on various facilities Of the Virgin Islands
Government which resulted from lax regulations. This
plan should prove beneficial to the citizens Of the United
States Virgin Islands as well as those of the British Vir-
gin Islands, to whom we are culturally and additionally
tied. Every effort will be made by the Executive Branch
Of the Government to screen all applicants from the Bri-
fish Virgin Islands to be sure that they qualify for entry
and that they do not deprive the United States Virgin Is
lander Of employment. In line with the s~tepped-up en-
forcenent policy Of the immigration and Naturalization
Service, several additional border patrol officers have
been assigned to the Virgin Islands, as well as a border
patrol plane and a motor launch.
The Department Of Finance has improved consider
ably during the past fiscal year, but much remains to be
done. With the assistance of the General Accounting Of
flee in Washington and the Comptroller Of the Virgin IS
lands, q modern accounting system has been installed.
The General Accounting Office leoned us during the year
one of their outstanding accountants to give in-service
training to two key personnel in the Department Of Fl

employees have resigned. We have arranged for the De-

GUEST EDITORIAL
AlARcEn HIGH SCHOOL FOR 81. caoIx

AFTER the first week Of school painful fact has become
obvious. Only one year and a half after occupancy, the Chris
tiansted School is already inadequate for the number OF stu
dents registered there.
IN addition to the problems created by not enough class
rooms. all the familiar teaching hazards that accompany bad
educational planning are there-no laboratory equipment for
for the Chemistry and Physics classes, not enough typewrlt-
es for the Commercial students, no practical material for
the Vocational teachers to demonstrate on no seats or desks
for many Of the children, no books for many OF the-students.
All of these inadequacies cannot be blamed on lack OF
funds. Funds exist, for example, for textbooks requistioned
by Mr.. Thornton in September, 1855, have still not been or
dered by September, 1856, although there is money in the
Department Of Education to pay for them and students who
are suffering from the lack Of them.
STILL. this matter could easily be corrected BY some
efficient, if unprecedented, action in the Department Of Edu-
cation. More serious is an expensive construction like the
new High School which is already obsolete after only one
year and 1 half Of use. Population figures ia q small place
like ST. Croix are easy to obtain, and student numbers are
easy to estimate. Why was the High School, 9 basis Of COM
munity life and a foundation Of st. Croix' future, 50 badly
planned? @
THE year also started with two important teaching posi-
tons. Home Economics and Agriculture, untitled, to say
nothing Of having no Principal. No one doubts that Mrs.
Christian can do the job adequately, but one questions the
right Of the Department Of Education to ask Mrs. Christian
totake on these extra responsibilities in addition to her own
duties without receiving any extra pay for all the extra hours
Of work.
A good part Of the Department Of Education budget goes
for office personnel. ironically, the highest salaries are paid
to those who have not planned adequate school facilities.
who have not ordered the books they have money for and.
the students need, have not filledI the teaching vacancies by
the time school starts. The question IS raised as to whether.
the Departments Of Education IS one more example Of poor
hudgeting and wasted funds, ~top-heavy with high salaries
