About $50 am, Birkin wakened
me. We went up on deck as dawn

a sight of enemy-held France.
Suddenly. in the classic phrase,
all hell broke loose. As the land

Puerto Rico Taking q Close Look

statehood dilemma. For if Puerto
Rico does become a State, the
whole basis of Fomento must

that plants locating in Puerto Rico

as any plant in existing States.

Already. according to the New
York Office of Fomento, many in

Antonio Fernes Isern, which would
provide for greater sharing of
Federal responsibilities by the
Commonwealth itself as resources

ton, which defines the Common

in accepting the proposal for a
plebiscite he made two important
conditions: Cd that the decision

final; and 10 that the voters must
choose between the Common
wealth as it exists. statehood, or
independence. To hold a plebis-
cite on the question solely of
statehood, Gov Munoz insists,
would be to cloud the question by
requiring what would be, in ef-

and seperatism Puerto Ricans

the Governor. and what kind Of

BY FRED THEROUx

Puerto Rico. "the land that has
bypasSed nationaliSm" in the
words of its Governor, Luis Munoz
Marin, is facing a new test. Since
1852 this West Indian island has
been a Commonwealth, a Free
Associated State" to use the
Spanish term, a self-governing
integral part of the United States.
The success of the Commonwealth,
politically and especially econom-
ically, has been phenomenal.
But statehood in the American
Union-long the goal of a small
but determined minority in Puerto
Rico-has been achieved by
Alaska and Hawaii. For the first
time. territories outside the con-
tinental limits Of the United
States have been admitted to
full-fledged membership in the
Union, the 49th and 50th stars in
the blue armament of the flag.
Hawaiis admission was a shot
of adrenalin to the lethargic
statehood advocates in Puerto
Rico. Long had they fought
against the contention that the
historical, linguistic, cultural and
racial differences between Spanish
Puerto Rico and the predomi-
nately Anglo-Saxon mainland
made statehood inadvisable if not
impossible. Now they were able
to point to Hawaii, a melting-pot
Of races with Orientals predomi-
mating, and declare with persu-
asive logic that Puerto Rico,
surely. was not less aSsimilable
than the Pacific's paradise.
The Governors Position
To Gov. Munoz. the revived
statehood clamor is the most wor-
risome problem he has encoun-
tered since the Commonwealth
was established in 1852. The Gov
ernor, himself once a vigorous ad-
vocate Of independence for his
native island. is not opposed to
statehood as such. Who" he
asked this reporter. can be OPP
posed to motherhood, or health.
or a star in the Flag?"
But, in the case of Puerto Rico,
there is much more to be con-
sidered than the prestige and
portfolios of statehood. Here is an
island that was known for many
decades as "the poorhouse of the
Antilles" It's rs million people

Oceonogrophy Study
Set Up by House
BY GEORGE WILSON
Contributing Writer

A Congressional committee is
probing into the ancient mysteries
OF the sea on a mission that may
prove more significant than the
ace to outer space in the cold
war competition with Soviet SCI
ence.
Spurred by warnings that the
Russians may be pulling ahead OF
the United States in the poten-
tally vital field Of oceanography
and underwater exploration. a
House Oceanography Subcommit-
tee has begun the first broad in
curry into the problem.
The National Academy Of Sci
ences in a recent report said:
From the point Of view Of mill
tary operations. there is no COM
parison between the urgencies Of
the problems of the oceans and
those Of outer space. The subma-
rine armed with long-range mis-
siles is probably the most potent
weapon system threatening our
security today. It seems clear that
the pressures of establishing eff
fective bases. and Of protecting
ourselves from attack. are re-
lentlessly driving us into the
oceans"
Besides being a potential bat
tleground. the sea is also the last
frontier when it comes to natural
resources. Already witnesses have
told the subcommittee about vast
plains and towering mountains
under the surface of the sea. The
scientists suspect the sea bottom
is as rich or richer in minerals
and oil as the land. Then there
are the thousands of fish which.
some witnesses claim, shoule be
farmed scientifically to assure
food for expanding populations.
A Sea Lawyer
Members of the subcommittee
sit entranced as witnesses tell
them of the busy world under the
seas surface. The Congressman
are the first to admit their igno-
rance. They have help, however.
It's an Arlington lawyer-John M.
Drewry. Although he came to
Government as an admiralty law
yer and has been chief counsel of
the House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee since 1851
he says he too is strictly a
learner"
Since We are all so ignorant
about ocean sciences" Mr.. Drewry
says. 1.-The first thing we have TO
do is educate ourselves through
questioning the experts. We prob
ably will spend the rest of this
year getting our intellectual sea-
legs. Then next year maybe we'll
hold hearings on a specific ocean
ography bill"
This self = education approach
has given subcommittee hearings
the atmosphere Of seminars, with
Mr.. Drewry serving as the evel-
curious student. The professors"
in this course have included berib-
boned admirals who have fought
on the sea: scientists who have
walked on its bottom, and engi-
neers who have struggled to make
the sea and ships an entity.
The Russion Position
Asked if from what he has
learned so far he thought Rus
STA was ahead of us in solving the
mysteries of the sea. Mr.. Drewry
was non -committal:
II heard before the Subcommit-
tee was formed that the Russians
were making tremendous progress
in oceanography. But now. after
hearing our own experts, I'm
much impressed with how much
our own scientists have done ana
are doing"
Mr.. Drewry is worried, however,

lived in the murky shadows of
starvation. A sugar economy, af-
fording employment some three
months of every year at low wages,
made the island. again in the
words of Munoz, "a factory worked
by poems. fought over by lawyers.
bossed by absent industrialists.
and clerked by politicians"
In a decade--since the estab-
lishment of the Puerto Rican Eco
nomic Development Administra-
iron known Familiarity as "Fo-
mento," the economic situation
has been revolutionized. Net in
come has more than doubled. In
dustrial production has more than
tripled. Average income per per-
son has leaped from 1921 in 1910
to SAB Cat present dollar pur-
chasing power) in 1858. Family
incomes have gone from SLABS to
$2,215 plus. And life expectancy
has in so short time gone from
As to SO years. with death rate
lower than that Of the mainland
United States.
The lsIond's Resources
These spectacular advances
have been made possible, for the
most part, by the Commonwealth's
arrangements with the United
States. Puerto Rico is an island
of no resources-"except people,"
remarks the Governor wryly, land
there're plenty of them"
The Fomento program has at
tracted thousands of industries to
Puerto Rico, most of them plants
eager to utilize the skilled hand
craftsmanship of the island people.
Without oil. coal, iron or other
basic ores, Puerto Rico could not
develop a fundamental industry.
But it could-and did-attract
and establish industries that de-
pended on assembly, or handi-
crafts, or production of finished
parts from components shipped
from the mainland.
To attract industry, the Com
monwealth has established a five
year tax concession. After a
brief experiment with government
industry. the leaders Of Fomento
quickly concluded that the solu-
ton was not in state capitalism,
but in the attraction of private
investment. This has become the
kernel of the economic resurrec-
ton of Puerto Rico.
Here, then, is the heart of the
