Lists Developments
He listed three recent develop
ments in Russia, "all Of which
must be giving her leaders
pause" and which give hope for
a change in Russian policy. The
three are:
/. The pressure within Russia
itself.
2.Defection of the satellites.
3. The new attitude toward
Russia on the part Of the UNDER
developed nations whose 900
million people make up one-third
of all mankind. He said this has
come with startling speed"
Mr.. Hoffman's address came
as the architects held the second
session of their centennial con-
vention. The convention got
under way last night with Leon
Chatelain. jr.. Of Washington,
ALA president, presiding. The
chief initial speech was by Ed
ward A. Weeks. IT,, editor Of the
Atlantic Monthly.
Hits USIA Cuts
4 Mr.. Hoffman made a plea for
no cut in the budget Of the
united States Information
Agency. He called appalling
moves to cut the budget Of that
Organization. He said personal
observation and experience has
Econginced him the USIA is doing
"a thoroughly effective job"
/ He also called ''tragically i'm
practical" the efforts to cut the
foreign aid budget. President Eli
lsenhower asked originally for
I$4.4 billion, but later reduced II
himself to 1888 billion.
1 He said his hope of a shift in
Russian policy does not rest on

of Russia's blood stained leaders

Calls for Privacy

The
Rambler
| Takes q Ride
Along the ConoI
By GEORGE KENNEDY

A few weeks ago, Charles
Yarbrough. The Stars avia-
ton reporter, was in q plane
that flew from Seattle to
Baltimore in 8 hours and 48
minutes.
The Rambler asked him
what he had seen. The answer
was that one-half Of the con-
tinent had been covered with
clouds. After that he was q
little ,hazy on details seen
from the plane. But 1t was q
wonderful ride, he said.
Too fast.
The Rambler, who has time
to take his time, had a much
smoother ride the other day.
He arranged for passage on
the Potomac Clipper, the barge
that plies the restored portion
of the Coo Canal.
What he had hoped would
be restful relaxation started
with high excitement.
1t was Saturday afternoon.
During May, the Clipper Is
pulled away from Lock 4 In
Georgetown at 2 pm. on Sat-
urdays and Sundays only. The
$50 pm. Wednesday rides
start in June).
The boat, which seats 80,
was half adult, half Cub
Scouts and Brownie Girl
Scouts. They screamed with
delight when the valves were
opened and the Clipper rose
eight feet from the depths Of
the lock in less than q minute.
It was as exciting as q roller
coaster.
This is where Thirtieth
street crosses the canal, and
1t Is the scene that Is such .
favorite with artists both Of
brush and lens, where q row
Of quaint old houses faces the

VIRGIN ISLANDS DAY IN NEW YORK

SUNDAY MAY Il, 1857, was a redletter day in the
history of these Islands. The first Virgin Islands Day" honor
ing a local athlete to reach the major league was observed.
BEFORE OVER 1900 people at the Polo Grounds,
the home of the New York Giants, a scroll Was presented
to Valmy Thomas ia honor of having become the first native
of the Virgin Islands to break into the big time. AS on all
such occasions the ceremonies were conducted at home plate
just before the game got under way.
APPROPRIATED enough, Vamy Thomas had made
sure to write his name in the history of the game by hitting
a home run the first time he went up bat That feat he ac-
complished Just the day before, winning the game for his
team, the Giants, against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
ON BEHALF OF Virgin Islanders everywhere the pre-
sentation of the scroll was made by Ashley L. Toten, pre-
sident Of the American Virgin Islands Civic Association & In
ternationaI Sec'y-Treasmer Of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters. Mr.. Totten is well known, perhaps the most we'll
known Virgin Islander on the mainland, and his role in max,
ing the presentation was appropriate indeed.
COMPARED WITH other day" in major league ball
parks, this one was mild. Usually, when a town or city I'M
dertakes to honor one Of its number for outstanding achieve
ment in organized baseball, plans are made way in advance.
A special section or sections Of the park are reserved for root
es from the players home town, his relatives and friends
: on hand. and often the Governor of the State will be
there to make the presentation.
GIFTS ARE numerous and inexpensive. Automobiles,
te1evisions. u. S. Savings bonds, and the like are common
place. The next time that Valmy Thomas is honored we
look forward to something on the order OF what IS ordinarily
done.
BITT o THE moment the work done by Mr.. 1otten
ond tbe American Virgin Islands Civic Association and all
vbo c,rnorted and cooperated deserves the fullest common

dation. 1t put the name Of the Virgin Islands before thou
sands in the park, and millions on television, radio, and
through the newspapers.
THESE ISLANDS will always be proud Of Valmy
Thomas and follow his progress with keen interest.
