RECREATION

RECREATION s.7
We have proposed a stadium at Sugar Estate. We
hope that no time will be wasted to get this project roll
ing. AT the same time, we have suggested that lights be in
stalled at one ball park here and one in ST. Croix immed-
lately to permit night sport events.
These communities in the Virgin Islands are too dark.
Legislation has been proposed to provide modern street
lighting systems. Road improvements have been proposed
in line with available funds.
We have proposed a playground in the East End Area,
and are now negotiating with the owners Of a suitable
tract Of land there. We have also proposed enlargement of
the cisterns at East End and Southside.
Senator Carroll has offered a wide program Of i'm
provement for ST. Croix, including an appropriation to
give St. Croix asmodern airport. Unity Party is 100 per
cent back Of this project. Others of MI. Carols proposals
include the use of the Christiansted and Frederiksted
Grammar Schools as community centers; repairs to the
main wharf in Frederiksted, Improvement Of Fair Plain
Bridge on the highway to the Airport, improvement to
Cramer's Park, with the necessary sanitary facilities; a
concrete bride across the lagoon leading to Radio Station
WIVI, additional street lights in Christiansted and Fred
eriksted and at the bus shelters on the Centerline Road;
instruments for the bands in Christiansted and Frederik-
sted; sale of government-owned land for home building
increment for government officials and employees for
years OF service, and improvements to both ball parks in
St. croix, along with caretaker service.
One of the most important measures before us is the
bill to provide for the dispatch Of a legislative represen-
tahve to Washington, p. c. Recent delegates to Washing
ton have stressed the Importance Of this proposal which
has the support Of all leaders of Congress.
Everybody complains about the high cost Of living,
but nobody does anything about il. We have proposed a
egislative-executiv commission with broad powers to
study this problem and to come up with recommended
tions.
DO not have time to cover the other items on the
Unity Party Program. We hope that other members Of
the Legislature will give these measures their support,
and that Governor Gordon will also see it fit to sign these
measures into law.
We Of the Unity Party stand ready and willing to
vote for any measure proposed by any other member of
the Legislature to improve the ~wel-being Of the people
offthe Virgin Islands.
This session will have to consider tax legislation. We
must make sure that no appropriations are made for any
projects unless we have the revenue to finance these pro-
jects. We can no longer tolerate deficit financing. We
must make sure that waste, wherever found, is eliminated.
We should not create any unnecessary positions.

We have proposed a scholarship law for the Virgin
Islands. Funds have been asked for the construction Of a
kindergarten school at Savan. We intend to see that ade-
quate bus transportation is provided for rural pupils.
The purpose of the school lunch program is to pro-
vide at least one meal a day to children who may not
otherwise obtain such meal. # that is so, there is no rea-
son why we should deny needy children Of a meal dur
ing the summer, when they may need it most. at the
same time, we feel that school lunch workers should be
paid for IL months Of the year, the same as other Dept.
of Education employees. Legislation to attain this objec-
tive will be offered.
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
have already mentioned that we propose q health
insurance system for government employees, and to also
give them unemployment insurance coverage. But we be-
lieve that one Of the most urgent needs is a modernized
merit system law that will correct the present abuses.
We propose a retirement law tied in with social security.
+ heard the President Of the Democratic Party last
night proposing that the entire retirement system be eli
minated and that the employees be given back their con
contributions into the retirement fund.
That would be 4 cruel blow to government employees,
many Of whom are near the retirement age.
Unity Party viii propose a program which would
give employees an options For example, if Employees
John Smith, who has only two years Of service desires
to collect all his retirement contributions and enter the
new retirement system from scratch, he would be per-
mitted to do SO. On the other hand, if Employee William
Jones. who has already given 80 years of service to the
government, desires to get credit for all those years Of
service, he may elect to leave his contributions into the
fund. Perhaps it may be possible to give back those long
term employees two per cent Of their contributions, if it
is agreed that azthree per cent deduction would provide
a stable retirement fund.
All government employees have been given pay In
creases. but persons getting pensions have not received

Senator Symington. Democrat
of Missouri, most outspoken
critic of this country's air de.
lenses. last night was named
chairman Of a five-man Senate
subcommittee to investigate the
subject.
In making the announcement,
Senator Russell. Democrat of
Georgia, chairman Of Armed
Services. said the subcommittee

appropriations are adequate" toI

In a speech prepared for de-
livery at a Jefferson-Jackson
dinner at Raleigh. N. c.. last
night, Senator Symington re-
viewed his repeated charges that

ahead of defense.
Airs Charges
How many Americans realize
that in the past three years some
I$8 billion has been cut from our

mington.
The Missourian charged that
THE United States has ordered
less than one fourth as many
combat planes In 1855 as 1t did
lin 1852.
"How many Americans realize
that our desire to balance the
budget recently prevented Amer
lean fiiers facing the Commu-
lnists in Korea from continuing
their minimum training sched-
lule?" he asked. n
Senator Symington also re-
called the recent resignation Of
Trevor Gardner as Assistant
Secretary Of the Air Force in
protest against the rate Of prog
lress on the guided missile pro-
gram. Senator Symington said
