Dear Mr.. Editor:
i read with disgust your reprint
Of the Home Journals editorial
under the caption Misguided
Campaign, which appeared in
your Jan. 7th issue of the Avis.
Not recalling having ever read
a proper editorial in your paper,
/ was very much surprised to see
YOU taking such a stand until I
observed it was a reprint.
Since / am not an editor and am
not in the knowing of your pro-
fession, / do not know if reprints
reflect the views Of editors who
are afraid of commenting, or
showing themselves in the open,
and it is for that reason I am
asking in this correspondence #
that article does represent your
views.
If it does, then you have confirm
ed yourself as of my understand
ing Of you. Unfortunately among
us there are many Of us who
forever try to demonstrate their
abilities Of treachery.
Regardless Of what they or you
may think, the time has reached
when all Virgin Islanders, all OPP
pressed people, will throw off the
weights of their enemies and
crush the traitors those who
try to reside in a neighborhood
biologically foreign to them.
When you do find it convenient
to reply. / would be in better posi-
ton to address a correspondence
dealing directly on the subject.
This I would do since | am direct
ing a movement here to bring
my people closer to a better under
standing of themselves, and at the
same time showing up those per
sons who live here among us an6
are employing their efforts to
place us in the background, and
also since | believe the article
which you reprinted is directed
against the movement.
Looking forward to your reply, I
remain,
Yours for the cause,

Apartment Rule
Is Criticized

A key provision of the Dis
tricts's proposed new apartment
house regulations spurred i'm
mediate attack yesterday from
Edwin Z Whitcomb. president
Of the Building Owners anc
Managers Association.
Mr.. Whitcomb. who stressed
he was speaking as an individual
and not for the organization
centered his fire on a proposal
that a resident manager be re-
'quired in any apartment build.
ing with five or more apart
ment units.
This requirement. Mr.. Whit
comb said. would have "a terrific
impact on the whole industry :
Many small apartment build.
inss don't have resident mana
gers. and some don't even have
full-time JSnitors. Mr.. Whitcomb
said. The substantial economic
question Of whether there is q
resident manager depends on the
need for his services. he said.
While there is no fat rule, resi-
dent managers usually enter the
picture In buildings OF between
80 and so units. In smaller apart
ments, he said. experience has
showed that full-time SUPER
visory duties and the needs oi
tenants don't justify managers
in residence.
The apartment controls, pro-
posed to be part Of the city's
eight-chspter housing regula-
tons, were disclosed by Director
Cabell Gwathmey Of the Depart
ment Of Licenses and Inspection
He estimated they would AFFECT
some 10000 apartment houses In
the city.

Talks Recessed
These disclosures came out of
his first two days Of serious ne
gotiations on a new labor con-
tract with the transit workers
union. The talks have been re-
cessed until 10 am. Wednesday
because Of schedule complica-
tons.
The New York airline opera
tor, president Of Trans Carib-
bean Always. Inc, also was
trying to get the Civil Areo-
nautics Board to let his line
make unlimited numbers Of
flights to Puerto Rico from
Washington and New York. He
has said previously he plans to
start service to the Caribbean
island from the Nations Capital.
Mr.. Chalk's D. C. Transit Sys-
tenn is operating until Novem-
Der l on a 75-day extension of
the old Capital Transit labor
contract. Last week he warned
the Public Utilities Commission
that he probably would not be
able to file his first financial re-
ports before that time.
Commission Chairman George
E c. Hayes said D. c. Transit
representatives had told the COM
mission, in response to prodding
that Price, Waterhouse g. Co.,
accountants. had not yet COM
pleted closing out the books of
Capital Transit, which Mr.. Chalk
bought out last August Is.
Mr.. Hayes said the commits
sion was told the reports prob
ably would not be ready before
the end of the month, but that
they would be forwarded imme-
diately. if ready before then.
Capital Transit, when Mr..
Chalk purchased its assets, had
some $50 buses. OF which only
about $50 were in daily use. Most

of these were used for rush hour
operation, with only about 200
used throughout the day.
The surplus, presumably
would be available for sale az
would any others which Mr.
Chalk replaces. He said he is
planning a major replacement
program and plans to sell the
retired buses wherever he can
find a market.
Club" Service Planned
In discussions with Robert r
Nathan. consulting economist
and veteran labor adviser whom
Mr.. Chalk asked to observe the
present negotiations, Mr.. Chalk
insisted he could get the dol.
lars" to arrange sales in foreign
areas such as Burma or Kores
outside the dollar trading area
At the same time. he stressed
plans to set up special Club
coach" service in which de luxe
buses would carry suburban pas
sengers downtown on a monthly
reserved seat basis, with orange
juice and even newspapers
thrown in.
He would like, he said, to have
the Utilities Commission start
calculating his profits on the
operating ratio" basis 'yester-
day, if not sooner"
His congressional, 20-yeaI
franchise encourages the utilities
commission to make the shift in
the method of profit calculation
and rate setting. 1t also is tied
to potential tax exemptions I'M
der the franchise. Under these,
he is fatty exempted from pay

and bus mileage taxes, which
cost etc about $450, 900 annu-
ally. and is conditionally ex-

This legislation changed the
status Of Arlington's school board
from elective to appointive.
Yesterday, curtis Tuthill,
nominee of the ArlingtonianS
for Better County, got a mo-
answer to his question from the
two ABC members-Mr. Krup-
saw and Ralph Kaul.
Chairman Wesley w. Cooper
answered yes, and then asked
Mr.. Tuthill if he was attempting
to stir up a discussion for cam
|paign purposes only.
Interest stimulated"
The chairman. a Democrat, ex-
planned that his interest in the
school legislation had been "stim-
ulated" by the Arlington School
Boards decision last January to
adopt a tentative desegregation
program.
Mrs. Leone Buchholz, a mem
Der of the Arlington Independent
Movement, said county board
sessions were not the proper
place for political propaganda"
speeches.
The fifth board member,
George M. Rowzee, jr., a Re-
publican in AIM, had left the
meeting before Mr.. Tuthill's
question was raised.
Last winter, the board Endorsed
the Moncure bill by a 3-2 vote,
with the two ABC members cast
ing the negative ballots. During
the current County Board cam
paign, Mr.. Tuthill has accused
AIM of having worked behind
the scenes to instigate introduce
ton of the Moncure legislation.
At a recent meeting. Mr.. Tuthill
was asked from the floor to name
names.

The Sprinkler Irrigation Asso-
citation, one of the $50 conven-
tons held every year in Wash
Iington. is meeting this week end
Iat the Shoreham Hotel.
Some 200 representatives Of 9
new industry that most people
haven't even heard of are put
ting their heads together over
common problems.
They are members of an in
dustry which has multiplied 40.
fold in the last 10 years and
whose activities have Changed
the food on millions Of Ameri-
can dinner tables.
AS trade associations go, SIA
is small. 1t has $50 members
and an annual budget of only
$37, 900. 1t is composed of peo-
pie connected with a new tech
nique in agriculture, mechanical
irrigation.
Now Used Everywhere
Most people think OF irriga.
Ition as something used only in
the dust-bowl areas Of the coun-
try. That used to be true but is
no longer. Now it's a farm
method used everywhere.
Another misconception con-
Germs methods bitches ano
canals were the old way to water
farmland. To modern farmers
however. this technique is known
as food irrigation" while q
newer technique is called "sprin.
kler irrigation"
The sprinkler system is es-
sentially the same as that used
to water lawns. The water is
pumped from lakes. rivers OF
wells, carried through main lines
to central points on the farm,
distributed through smaller lat
eral lines and, finally. sprayed
over the ground through rotat-
ing sprinklers.
The sprinkler system puts
only as much water as is needed
on exactly the ground that
needs it. Its pressure-driven
water will go up hills and down.
When one section has received
its needed water. the farmer un-
couples the lateral lines and
rolls. pulls or carries them TO
another section.
Raises Yield and Quality
Sprinkler irrigation conserves
water. avoids erosion caused BY
excess run-off. allows fun EN-
ployment OF fertilizers and in
creases crop yields and quality.
Although 1t has been practiceo
IN some form since the early
years Of the century. sprinkler
irrigation didn't really get UNI
derway until 1916. New. tough

over the country.
