Criticizes Record Of

A~
v. I. Students Abroad
Dr.. Alonzo Moron, President
of Hampton Institute, during
his conference with the Legis
lature on Thursday revealed
that only a handful Of the for
ty-eight Virgin Islands stu
dents at Hampton have better
than average grades. Ten of
them may not return to school
next year because Of low
grades.
DR.. Moron, President of
Hampton said that the unsa-
tisfactory showing Of V. /.
students at Hampton was due
to a number of accumulated
local problems, and he empha-
sized that one Of the greater
needs in the. islands today
was for a strong administrator
of experience and recognized
ability to prevent the school
system from falling into furth-
er deterioration. It was under
stood that Governor Gordon
has asked DR.. Moron to help
him find such an administra-
tor.
DR.. Moron disclosed that the
subject in which Virgin Is
lands students seemed poorest
was English. He expressed the
hope that local funds will be
appropriated next year to
continue the program for. the
Improvement of the quality
of teaching here. This pro-

Baseball Donnybrook

The National League is putting on
another rafting good pennant fight and
the cash registers all around the circuit
are playing happy tune. With three
clubs battling down to the wire, as many
as three different parks can treat the fans
to the potential pennant winner on any
day. Actually, it is not an unusual treat
in the National League, for that loop has
been much better balanced in recent
years than the American League, where
the New York Yankees SO consistently
outdistance the field by mid-season.
Meanwhile, when the Milwaukee
Braves evened their final two-game
series with the Brooklyn Dodgers, they
accomplished two things. One was to
regain their one-game lead in the pen
nant race-with each club having IS
games yet to play. The other was to edge
the Dodgers for the seasons meetings
between the two teams, IL to 10. Neither
will be much consolation for the Braves,
OF course, if they don't manage to be on
top on closing day. Just of the pace,
and conceding nothing, are the smuggling
Cincinnati Redlegs-So many Of whom
gave Washington fans a treat in the
All-Star game this summer. The Reds
have two cracks yet at the Dodgers and
one more at the Braves. Only the fans
are reasonably safe.

Just for the Record

1t seems to us that Adlai Stevenson
was hitting little below the belt in his
criticism of the Presidents attitude"
toward the Supreme Courts school de-
segregation decision
Addressing New York political
rally, Mr.. Stevenson said he disagreed
with Mr.. Eisenhower'S statement that
Il think it makes no difference whether
or not indorse it (the decision)." Mr..
Stevenson added that he thought the
attitude of the President does make a
difference in a matter of this kind.
OF course it does. But the attitude
Of the President is not fairly represented
by lifting one sentence out of context
What happened was that he was asked
at his press conference last week whether
he Endorsed the courts ruling or merely
accepted it, as did the Republican plat
form. Mr.. Eisenhower's full reply was
this: II think it makes no difference
whether or not I indorse it. What l
say is they-the Constitution is as the
Supreme Court interprets it, and must
conform to that and do my very best to
see that it is carried out in this country"
Furthermore, just for the record, it
ought to be noted that the attitude of the
Democratic Party and it's candidate also
makes a difference in this matter, De-
spite much pressure to specifically indorse
the decision, the Democratic platform
makers refused to do so. And Mr.. Ste
venSon, who previously had said he had
a very strong feeling that the platform
should express "unequivocal approval"
Of the ruling, is running on platform
which does nothing of the sort. In addi-
ton, despite his own stated preference for
a specific Endorsement, he has described
the Democratic platform as "a firm basis
for moving ahead toward constructive
solution of this critical problem"
1t would be much better If this ex-
plosive issue could be kept out of parti-
san politics. But that is not apt to be
done, especially in an election year. The
next best thing is to handle it with care,
refraining from comment which diStorts
or misrepresentS the other fellows real
position.

Government Kickoff

The Federal Government kicks off"
today in its first campaign under the new
United GiverS Fund banner The out
come of the test will be watched with
interest by the whole communication a
successful Government drive is essential
to general UGF victory.
BY direction OF President Eisen-
hover, the Federal establishment this
year has adopted charity health-wel-
fare collection program designed to solve
the multiple solicitation problem. In
Washington only two collections year
will be permitted in the Government
departments and agencieS-one for the
UGF and one for the so-called health
group" In cities where the Red Cross
still conducts independent campaigns,
third collection for this agency will be
allowed. However, here, for the first time,
the Red Cross has joined with more than
100 other agencies in a one-package plan
of solicitation. Several health organiza-
tons also have joined the local UGF cam
paign The remaining health agencies,
If approved by Federal authorities, will
be granted an opportunity later to join
In single health" campaign, apart from
the UGF solicitation.
good feature Of the new Govern
ment program is the arrangement for in
stallment collections by supervisors. This
system, adopted in lieu of payroll de
duction plan, will enable Federal workers
to pay their pledges over PERIOD Of
months. This will make it easier Tor the
employees to increase their gifts this year
to take care of the expanded campaign.
And larger contributions will have to be
made by all supporters of the UGF If the
one-campaign-for-all idea is to succeed
in this unrestricted area.

Senator Wiley Wins

Senator Wiley's primary victory in
Wisconsin is notable-4and most well

This was an uphill fight If there ever
was one. Three years ago the Wisconsin
State Republican Convention censured
Senator Wiley for voting against the
Bricker amendment. He met that chal-

strikes at the very core Of the Constitu-
ton and which strikes at the essence
Of United States preparedneSs-at our

Can't Swallow It

Once upon a time the heart
OF Miss Democracy became
filled with pity for the welfare
Of John @. Public whom she
imagined was suffering from
starvation caused by too much
Indulgence in peace and
prosperity. So she decided to
throw a party for his saliva
tion.
Recognizing the popularity
of the sandwich as a tasy bit
of American food, she turned
to her political kitchen and
carefully concocted the follow
ing morsel: One thick slab of
Add-a-lie bread we'll buttered
with Estes paste, then sprin-
killed. freely with SANDER sauce
and topped off with a slice of
well toasted un-Truman bread.
This hunk of deception is
then to be washed down Johns
neck-with a glass of campaign.
If John swallows it, may
heaven pity poor John.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES <. TPAcEWELL

peace lovers thought the world
was going to get quieter, some
body invented the power
mower.
This blamed nuisance would
be all right. If any one had
thought TO- equip 1t with q
mufiler.
The idea. evidently. was to
make the thing to sell as
cheaply as possible.
n \ y \
This left the mufHer out, to
the CONSERVATION Of those
who didn't have one.
A normal power mower is
pretty tough on the folks next
door.
The roar and clank come up
in waves.
The real estate man, when
selling you the house, never
warned you about living next
door to a machine shop, did
he?
But that is the effect you
get.
Someday, surely, there will
be laws. regulations and or
dinances, regulating power
lawn mowers.
This will come about when
everybody gets them.
Then nobody will be able to
stand them.
Goodbye to summer.
Goodbye to much Of the
noise. and the sweat, and the
confusion.
The inner peace Of autumn
comes with a rainy day, when
nobody is abroad except the
mailman.
Even that CHEEKY soul for
gets to whistle.
The inner peace by the fire.
side is unbroken except by the
crackle Of hickory wood, or the
pop Of locust logs.
The squirrels are outside.
where they belong. and the
cardinals and others are crack
ing Sunfiower seeds all day
long in the perennial border.
No yard is complete with
out its sunfiowers.
Ask any bird.
He knows. So does she.
Goodbye TO summer. good
bye, goodbye,
And good radiance, at least
for another winter.
Summer is all right, in its
time, but we are glad 1t doesn't
occupy all time.
Goodbye. goodbye, good
bye, goodbye.
