AIRPORT ON ST. CROX "A NATURAL
JUST WHY ANYONE should oppose or object to the
Alexander Hamilton Airport being developed into the out
standing airport in these Islands is a mystery to us. The land,
the area surrounding the airport, and everything point to the
possibilities for any development that might come, In fact,
this airport is a natural.
AS AIR RAyEL goes, 40 miles is but a drop in the
bucket. In fact, the run between the two Islands is made
daily in less than Is minutes. What should it matter, there
fore, whether the big airport is just Is or 20 minutes in one
direction or another, especially when the one here has every
natural advantage? This means that development will be
easy and very economical.
DURING THE DAYS when ships piled between the
Panama Canal and Europe the harbor at St. Thomas, one OF
the best and most picturesque in the world, was the natural
stopping OFF place. 1t would have been foolish to even raise
any question about il. We'll, the situation with respect to the
airport is the same, St. Croix having size, and the natural
geographic advantage.
WITH ONE LEGISLATURE, one treasury, one set of
officials, and putting aside Of double efforts in the several
fields of endeavor, the development of the major airport on
one island where the natural advantages are overwhelming
seems SO logical and sound that it is puzzlng why there
should be any question whatever.
IT IS GRATIFYING that Senator Carroll and other
senators promptly introduced a bill for the necessary appro-
prfation. But even more satisfying is the stand taken by
Senator Otley and others who realize that it would be much,
much better to have Alexander Hamilton field developed
than allow the larger appropriation to go by default.
LET US HOPE that any pockets Of opposition based
entirely on sheer sentiment viii give way to what is naturally
right and proper, and that there will be demonstrated again
the ability to raise our voices in a single chorus calling for an
airport befHtng these Islands : one which can and will ac
conmodate any ship flying in the uanscontinental route

Nixon and Stevenson At Odds On Defense Policy; Easy Way
 Is Seldom Right Way,' Says v.P.

He said 500,o00 more classrooms are needed and the teacher shortage is at least as serious and probably more serious"
 Nixon, referring to Stevenson's statement on the same platform to the American Legion the pre- vious day, said that the United States should discontinue nuclear weapons tests, said:
 q realize that there are those in the US. who sincerely believe we should have discontinued test ing of hydrogen bombs if other nations would have offered to follow similar policy. I respect fully submit that for us to have followed this advice would have been not only naive but danger ous to our national security"
 Commenting on Stevenson's proposal that the military draft be ended as soon as consistent with national security, Nixon said "the easy way is seldom the right way"
 "This is no time to suggest to our friends or our possible oppo- nents abroad that America is get ting soft and tired and is looking for an easy way out of our world responsibilities" Nixon said.

Martial Law
 Postponed in Racial Dispute
By the Associated Press

State officials stood ready today to declare martial law in Sturgis, Ky, one of the principal southern spots in the segregation dispute.
 Nine Negro students, threat ened by mobs yesterday, stayed home at Sturgis today and a de- cision on martial law was post poned.
 Kentucky Adj. Gen. J. J. B. Williams said he had received re- ports that parents of the Sturgis Negro students had been threat ened with loss of jobs if their children attended the previously all-white high school. He asked the FBI to check possible viola ton of civil rights. .g5s
 Heavily armed Kentucky Ma tional Guardsmen patrolled the streets of Sturgis last night while a generally orderly crowd esti- mated at 1000 cheered fiery seg- regation speeches in public parks.
 Earlier Thursday, Guardsmen armed with riot guns and bayo- nets formed solid wall to pro- tect nine Negro students as they left the high school after their first day of classes.
 An angry crowd of 500 shouted threats to "get you niggers if it takes all year" while the guards men pushed a path to three cars in which the students left.
 At Knoxville, Tenn, the man blamed by many Clinton citizens for stirring the population to frenzy on the race issue was granted bail while appealing one-year sentence on a contempt of court conviction. Bail for John Kasper of Washington, DC, was fixed at $100,000.
