Editorial


H PROFESSIONAL League of Virgin Islanders has
presented its Man of the Year" award to Lawrence RockefeL
Ter for his contribution of the land area and his unusual in
fluence and efforts in getting a portion of St. John declared
a National Park. We fully agree and think that the award was
well deserved.
MR.. ROCKFLLERS work has helped these Islands in
no small way. The publicity, the attention, and finally, the
preservation of this naturally rich area are contributions of
immeasureable value. No more deserving winner could have
been selected.
THE PROFESSIONAL League, is doing a most signifi-
cant Job in calling attention to the work of men in several
areas and giving due credit for their contributions. At least
the world knows that Virgin Islanders are grateful for and
appreciative of good, and are willing to give full credit where
due.
HOWEVER, THERE IS an aspect of the picture which
bears comment. There are thousands of Virgin Islanders in
the United States, and in New York no fewer than 5000.
There are scores of organizations, societies, benevolent and
otherwise, clubs and what have you, yet central leadership is
waste.
PERHAPS MAINLAND leaders will take offense at this
bit Of truth, but there can be no compromise with truth. The
trouble is that everybody wants to lead and few want to toll
low. But what is even more disturbing is the attitude OF many
leaders that they would rather see total inaction rather than
share leadership, or even cooperate.
OUR BROTHERS N sisters on the mainland can Go
much to help the local situation, if only they could coordin-
ate their efforts and their power, which is greater than they
think.

YE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
ARKANSAS SCHOOL CRISIS

Governor Faubus of Arkansas is still making head
lines The National Guard he called to prevent any Ne
groes from registering the Little Rock High School is
still around the school, some of them at the governors
mansion IGN
Federal Judge Robert Davies has ordered the COVER
and state guard officials to show why the troops
should not be removed This hearing is scheduled for Sep
tember 20.
After days of defying the order to allow Negroes
to enter Central High School, the governor has conde
scended to ask for personal talk with President Esen-
hover The time for this talk has been set for Sept IA at
the Newport Naval Station
If the governors intention in this is political
dared to suggest last week, then he has certainly
achieved his aims
He has had the attention of the nation, the United
Nations in fact the whole world conferred upon his de-
ance of the Federal Authorities in calling out the Nation
al Guard.
Governor Faubus hasshown disrespect for highest
authority and brought about much unavorabe criticism
It has done the country much harm.
What transpires between the governor and the Pres
dent might might not be made public however let us
hope twill be the of bringing about peaceful
settlement but at the same time remembering that peace
at any price, can become rather dangerous thing.

Eisenhower Pleased With House
 Boost in Foreign Aid Funds

House cut about 25 percent off the authorized figures.
 Barring unforeseen develop ments, Knowland said, it should be now unnecessary for Eisen- hover to call a special session of Congress this fall.
 The President himself said last week he would call no such ses- sion unless it became absolutely necessary.
 The Senate leadership-Know- land for the Republicans and Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas for the Democrats-stood in an alliance against the move to back away from the committee increase in foreign aid.
 Experimenting the fight against the extra money were Sens. FL lender D-L0 and Russell D-Ga).
 If sustained by the Senate, the committees total would be sub ject to further cuts in a confer ence with the House. Indications are the compromise might end up about midway between House and Senate totals.

Speedily Urged in us. Missile
 Program Following Soviet Claim
 For First Successful ICBM Test

miniStratiOn issued a statement crediting the Soviets with sub stantial progress in the long-range ballistic missile field"
 But this statement, put out by Acting Defense Secretary Donald A. Quarles, also said American officials have made it clear our own work in this same field is being pressed forward on broad front and with high priority"
 The statement, cleared by the White House and the State De partment, described as greatly eNaggerated'' the immediate mili- tary significance of what it called an American-Soviet race to de velop a missile capable of carry ing nuclear warhead 5000 miles.
 Quarles said s'time differences in terms of operational readiness will probably not be very great one way or the other"
 The Administration statement suggested the Moscow announce ment may have been timed in relationship to the London talks'' of the five-power disarmament subcommittee.
 Quarles noted that the Russian claim was broadcast just when the United States-with the back ing of Great Britain, Canada and France-''was in process of pre- senting very complete and req sonable disarmament proposal, including clauses dealing with long-range ballistic missile sys- temS."
 In London, Soviet Russia re- jected the Vests newest disarm- ament proposals and accused the West of preparing for war.

Republicans Suffer Shattering Defeat In Election of Proxmire in Wisconsin

Next year there will be another election for a regular six-year Senate term beginning Jan 1859.
 WASHINGTON R-Democrat- ic Party headquarters called the outcome of the electionta crush ing repudiation" of President Eli senhower and his administration Republicans from the White House down conceded their party had taken bad licking.
 Eisenhower himself was de- scribed as disappointed and feel ing the COP "took a bad licking"
 There was no question but that Proxmire's Smashing victory was something of shock all around in capital political circles.
 Paul Butler, Democratic Ma tional chairman, got out a state ment calling the outcome "a clear indication of a sweeping Demo cratic victory in the 1858 cleo tion."
 Ut demonstrates" Butler said, ''that the average American voter is fed up, with the lack of con- structive presidential leadership and the increasing favoritism of special interests which have be- come the hallmark of so-called modern Republicanism."

 Perhaps the Russians have rendered us something of a ser vice, if the Defense Department will take heed of the danger" :" Jackson said.

 The barley took place as for eign aid opponents headed into an uphill fight on the Senate floor to try to wipe out the increase in the appropriation for military and economic aid abroad.
 The Senate committee voted 14-7 for a bill providing $3,692, 71O,OOO in new and reappropriated money.
 Eisenhower still would prefer the full amount authorized, said Knowland, but realizes that he could not expect any more than the Senate committee voted. The

Governor Appoints Tax Advisers
 Nolan, Johnson, Butrovich X Cray

Stepovich, a legislator before he became governor, has been a close associate of Nolan, Butro- vich and Johnson in past law making sessions. Each is consid- cred an expert on territorial if nances.
 Gray, the only relative govern ment newcomer selected, was a freshman representative in the 1857 session. One of three Repub- hcans in the lower chamber, he was member of the House Com merce Committee.
 Stepovich said the four would spend "as much time as they need" to come up with tax pro- gram which he will present to the next session of the Legislature.
 They will hold their first meet ing at Juneau in mid-September, Stepovich said. The advisory roles will be non-paying positions. Per diem and travel expenses while in formal session will come out of territorial appropriations to the Governors Office.
