NEW fortuna CHALLENGE
WHEN AGROUP of young people IN Frederiksted
organized the Virgin Islands Forum they certainly
undertook a task Of major proportions. The motives are
lofty, but the pitfalls are so many that it will require
vigilance to steer straight and narrow path to
success.
ACCORDING TO THEIR announced intention this
Forum is in effect an organization designed for public
enlightenment on things Of a political nature, and BY
political we mean it in the truest sense Of the word.
There is all the difference between politics as played at
election time, and theStudy Of politics in its scientific
sense, and listed, treated and taught in the colleges and
universities as political science. This group is embarked,
as we understand it, on the latter course.
THERE is, HAS always been, and perhaps always
will be, the need for growth and understanding Of the
purpose, functions and operations of government. The
more advanced the community the greater the under
standing for the need for taxes, police regulation and
protection, and the use Of public authority to achieve
certain o~bjectives which would simply be impossible il
left to private, voluntary effort,
BUT HOW DOES this new forum propose to 90
about giving this enlightenment II can do it in . num-
Der Of effective ways. It can, for example, schedule q
series Of lectures by citizens and others whose educa-
ton, background and experience qualify them to give
such lectures. This can be done before a restricted
audience, Of the general public. II can form, and con
duct, discussion groups on the workings Of government,
III Al impersonal manner. But II can 20 further and
make specific studies, Of political issues in light Of the.
needs, demands, and local conditions.
ONE OF H great pitfalls Of such a'group, well
intentioned though il may be, is to fall into the trap Of
drifting into a political party, at which point all the OBJ
jectivity and reason promptly fly away, and the realpur-
, 1959-08-14

pose is never achieved TO avoid this requires strength
and understanding, and q clear picture Of what the
group intends to do.

MT. K. Blows Up At
 US. Labor Leaders

SAN FRANCISCO, R- Nikita Khrushchev kept his peculiar brand of belligerent diplomacy going full blast at a tumultuous dinner session with a group of American labor leaders Sunday night.
 The Soviet Premier, according to the union chiefs, blew up on at least a -half-dozen occasions and wound up conceding: Our posi- tions are irreconcilatle."
 Walter Reuther, Auto Workers Union president and spokesman for the labor group, said Khrush- chev accused him of being die tator and "a capitalistic stooge."
 "I certainly think MT. Khrush- chev feels we gave him very bad time-he made that quite clear" Reuther told a jammed news conference after the three hour, 20-minute private dinner.
 The union men said they blast ed Communism in no uncertain terms and told Khrushchev of American workers devotion to freedom. They said Khrushchev defended the Communist system and both sides thereupon agreed to disagree.
 No effort was made to tone down questions, Reuther said, all though there had been advance word State Department officials wanted to avoid having Khrush- chev further irritated on his Am erican tour. Reuther said his group had received no request for a kid glove approach.
 Emil Rieve, board chairman of the Textile Workers, asked the Premier if it weren't possible to have Socialism without dictator ship.
 "He sort of lost control of him self at this point" Reuther said.

Khrushchev Submits Hear Plan To

reduction of conventional weap ons to low levels in three stages and with controls.
 Both plans will come before the Donation East-West disarma- ment talks in Geneva early next year.
 Communist delegations - Hun gary and Poland-hailed the So- viet leaders proposals as big step forward
 Suspicious were widespread among other diplomats at the LIN. and in the non-Communist world capitols.
 Khrushchev told the General Assembly in a 65-minute speech "the essence of our proposals is that over a period of four years all states should effect complete disarmament and should no long CT have any means of waging war.
 At the disposal of states there should remain only strictly linn ited contingents of police with small arms to maintain internal order"
 The Soviet Premier gave the impression he holds slim hopes for the success of his sweeping program. He said, If due to cer- tain reasons" the Western pow CTS won't go along, the Soviet Union has an alternate program.

By WILLIAM N. OATS

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- Soviet Premier KhruShchev's A. year plan for a world without armies or arms struck most non- Communist diplomats Saturday as a propaganda maneuver-but one worthy of study.
 Western delegates at the UN promised to give consideration to the plan but the prediction was they will eventually reject it as a Utopian dream everyone shares but only a dream at the present stage of the East-West struggle.
 Disappointment was felt in many world capitols that basic ally his widely advertised pro- gram put forward Friday before the 82-nation General Assembly offered little new.
 Khrushchev was vague about establishing controls for his pro- gram of scrapping armed forces and weapons of war-and West ern insistence on controls has been the nub of the disarmament dead lock.
 Secretary of State Christian A. Herter said in a formal statement the scheme twill require very careful examination though it seems to repeat proposals for total disarmament made by the Soviet Union" in 1882 and 1855. "The United States" Herter said, twill go as far on the path of controlled disarmament as any other country. I stress the word controlled because up to now the previous proposals have foun- dered on the Soviet governments refusal to agree to effective con- trols."
 British Foreign Secretary Sel- wyn. Lloyd told neWsmen on ar irving back in London "control is the essence" of any disarmament plan.
 Lloyd declared the plan he sub mitted to the LIN. on Thursday and Khrushchev's contained sim liar elements.
 'FWe need to work on both plans and see whether anything can be made of them"
 The British plan aimed at the abolition of nuclear weapons and

The Need for BPR Divisional Office

gTTIE NEED FOR divisional office for state roads A and highways plainly seen during the dis cusson roads held for this for the coming two years which was held here Friday evening.
 Richard Downing, Commissioner of Public Works and William Nieni, Regional Engineer for BPR who conferred here with the Chamber road committee on the proposed change of route for the Nome Teller road were in accord following the meeting that the present surveyed route be followed after learning that it served two purposes First, connecting road to Teller and second, to open the most highly mineral iZed area in North America.
 The time of these men is valuable as the State road program is complex, vast and in a transition stage. Northwestern Alaska's problems are uniquely different from those of Southeastern Alaska, just as Anchorages roads vary from those of Fairbanks The time and money wasted in planning alternate route could have utilized had records been available here at regional office to show how thorough and pans taking had been the work of Highway Commissioner Irving Reed when he laid out the Nome-Teller road
 As the State assumes the full responsibility of it's transportation routes 1t might be well to this ex ample as a good reason for including office here in the future planning.

Firing Squads Execute 13 Who Took Part In AbOrtiye Revolt

BEIRUT, Lebanon, R - Spec tators cheered Iraq's Premier Abdel Karin Kassem Sunday as firing squads felled 13 Iraqi army officers and hangmen executed four civilian as enemies of the government.
 The executions were the larg- est in single day since the over throw of the monarchy IA months ago and were the first to be an nounced in advance.
 The army men participated in the abortive revolt at the north ern military headquarters in Mo sul last March or were charged with plotting against Kassem.
 Brig. Nadhim Tabakjali, com mander of the 2nd Division at Mosul, was the highest ranking officer to die.
 The officers, tried before the Peoples Court and sentenced sev- eral months ago, were accused of supporting policies of President Camel Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic and Kassem's No. One enemy.

 Continuing, Mrs. Fenner told members that juveniles do not al ways. come from broken homes but they come from some of our better homes. too.

This column has been appearing on the same page for a much longer period of time than the present legislature has been in session, and has included com ments on varied subjects.
