bands full effectiveness, but
the armory rang nevertheless
with music ranging from Ca

Peter Townsend said today he
and Princess Margaret have no
intention Of marrying.
Through his lawyer. Alan
Phillpotts, Group Capt. Town
send issued this statement:
There are no grounds what
ever for supposing that my see
ing Princess Margaret in any
way alters the situation de-
clared specifically in the Prin-
cess statement in the autumn
of 1856"
The Princess in October,
1855. said she had decided to
place duty above all else and
not to marry the 43-year-old
World War II hero.
Capt. TownSend's statement
was released a day after his
first open meeting with the 27-
year-old Margaret since she
renounced him because he is a
divorced man. His 3-hour visit
had revived speculation that
the romance was being revived.
Before issuing his statement
today Capt. Townsend paid a
business call within so yards of
the Princess residence. He
called for two hours at a rubber
company's headquarters.
Margaret breakfasted in bed
in her Clarence House suite.

A NEW YEAR MESSAGE
To His Excellency
Governor Walter A. Gordon
And the People of the
American Virgin Islands

Fellow citizens, and friends. It
behooves me at this time when
our celebration is in full swing to
call your attention to the year
ahead, the first day of January
1853. That day should be to our
people as the dawn of a new day
which the President of the United
States has seen fit to give the
position of Government Secretary
to a qualified citizen of the Virgin
Islands. A position that was va
cant, and had other citizens inter
ested. But the President chose a
Virgin Islander in the person of
Senator John David Merwin. This
young man may be the way that
others may enter in-so let us
give him all the cooperation for
the success of our government.
Already it is rumored that there
is opposition in our sister island
st. Thomas awaiting him. But
personally I doubt that at this
time. And if this is so, I'll ask that
nc group, whether over in Saint
Thomas, st. John or in st. Croix,
do nothing that would destroy the
seed that was sown by the Presi-
dent of the United States, to give
top positions to qualified citizens
in our Virgin Islands. And my
New Year wish would be for good
government for our people.

REAL. ~HOMESTEADING

AFTER A,GREAT many years of dabbling into
homesteading, a program has at last been presented
which affords the honesteader the opportunity for a
real livelihood. There is now enough land for a diversi-
fed program of farming, and to provide the type OF in
come which could mean independence.
THE MEN WHO worked with the earlier home
steads were honest and well meaning. They started the
ball rolling, for which all the credit in the world is due.
Among these were Ralph deChabert, D. Hamilton Jack
son, former Administrator Harry E. Taylor, and others.
They envisioned small plots Of land and house which
would provide some income. But as time passed it be-
came apparent that no 8-acre piece Of land would serve
the purpose.
TODAY, THERE IS real meaningto demonstrating.
But where do we go from there? How many Of these
homesteads can the Island support?Have we the type of
family which would 60 into homesteading as a fulEtime
proposition and make good? Theses questions must be
answered, and in the affirmative, in order to provide a
basis for the future.
THERE IS NO denying the fact that if agriculture
is to take its place as an important aspect of our econo-
my it will have to do better than it is doing at the pres
ent time. Individual farms will have to support them
selves, and the more Of these the better, SO that when
taken as a whole these farms would become the back
bone Of our agricultural economy.
FERTILIZERS, IMPROVED strains of animals and
better varieties of fruits and vegetables are high points
in any agricultural program. Fortunately, the Virgin IS
lands Corporation is working in close cooperation. and
directing the program from which everyone will benefit.
TITS GOOD to report that this phase of the agricul-
tural program Of St. Croix is doing well, and there is
every expectation that it will continue and some day

COMMUNICATION

Following is wire received from Donald R. Moberg, pro lessor of the department of his tory and political science at the University of Alaska.
 In the interest of the Alaska Statehood cause, I wish to correct any possible misunderstanding arising from my recent talk at the Western Regional Teachers convention as reported in the Anchorage Daily Times of March p, 1858.
 My talk on the problems of Alaska" was devoted to the prob 1ems facing Alaska in her efforts to achieve full development. It was a long range view looking even beyond the attainment of state Nood. My main concern is for the full development of Alas ka sS soon as possible, using all constitutional and practical means.

Plan For Pentagon Reorganization
 Sent To Congress

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower Thursday sent Con- gress a six-point Pentagon re- organization plan. He said it would give the Secretary of De- fense authority for truly uni fled" military operations.
 In a 7,000-word special mes sage, Eisenhower said: we must remove all doubt as to the full authority of the Secretary of De- fense."
 Eisenhower said too that 'sep- arate ground, sea and air war fare is gone forever"
 He proposed the Joint Chiefs of Staff be continued, but said that in the future they should serve as a staff assisting the Secretary of Defense in his ex- ercise of direction over unified commands"
 The President went on: "Stra- tegic and tactical planning must be completely unified, combat forces organized into unified com mands, each equipped with the most efficient weapons system that science can develop, singly led and prepared to fight as one, regardless of service"
 Even before the message reached Congress, there had been doubts voiced by some influential Legislators as to whether the Sec retary of Defense should have greatly increased power.
 Questions were raised partic- ularly as to how wise it would be to increase the Secretary's authority in the field of strate- gic planning.
 Eisenhower's program would strip the civilian heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force to direct authority over military operations. Tn effect, those sec retaries would be left as merely executive agents.
 Eisenhower also proposed-des- pite opposition in Congress-that in the future all appropriations for the three services be ear marked for handling by the Sec retary of Defense, instead of be- ing channeled by Congress to the three services.
 Eisenhower suggested that pro- cedure go into effect July l, 1859.
 Eisenhower said the authority of the Secretary of Defense "has been circumscribed and hedged about in number of ways which not only make the burdens of his office far heavier than they need to be, but also work against the efficient direction of National security activities"

Form 57 Must Be
 Filed For Summer Construction Jobs
BY RUTH MCLEAN

The CIVIL SerVlce register IS now open in Anchorage, and it is most important that workers in the Nome area file Form ST immediately to be eligible for summer work, Russell Hermann, chairman of the Civic Affairs Committee, advised the members of the Chamber of Commerce at their Monday meeting.
 MT. Hermann warned that names at the top of the list will be taken first and when the reg ister is full, no more names will be taken. He urged that this information be passed along to men who are interested in apply ing for jobs in the summer con- struction season. Form 57 can be obtained from the Post Office and other government offices, he said. MT. Hermann also said that the Civic Affairs Committee will continue to ask for a Nome register so that local workers will be considered first for seas onal jobs on Seward Peninsula.
 The Chamber received a let ter from Del. Bartlett assuring his support in obtaining prefer ence for Nome workers for local jobs and also advising there will be a Civil Service representative in Nome soon, to discuss the matter.
 A telegram was received from the Alaska International Rail and Highway Commission stating that the members of the commission are unable to make their trip to Alaska this month because of duties in Washington. Plans for hearings will be tabled until an- other date is set for their visit.
 Governor Stepovich wrote the Chamber that he is having con- ferences with the Bureau of Land Management regarding the re- turn of a land office to Nome and will continue in his endeavor in this matter.
 Jim Walsh, past president of the Chamber, wrote from Peters berg where he was visiting in connection with his sales position with Pan American, sending greetings to the Chamber and a promotional idea or two to the Tourist Committee.
 Chamber Manager John Me Nees announced that he now has office space in the upstairs lobby at the North Star and will be at the desk from 8 until in the morning and from 3 until 5 in the afternoon. He said he will soon have a telephone so that residents and visitors can call him regarding Chamber matters.
 Visitors at the Monday lunch con included Mrs. Stanley Nor gan, Miss Patt Fawcett, Mrs. Ser tha McNanamy, Mrs. John Me Nees, and George Miller, Stan Harhut and Frank Dimmitt of Federal Electric

 If Statehood were granted now, I know that Alaskans would be able to build a great state through the application of their fine, sound Constitution.
