WEDNESDAY. MARCH is, 1859
TIME FOR A ADI

THIS ISLAND needs a stadium or sports center
where games and other outdoor activities may be, con
Quoted in appropriate fashion and under most favorable
conditions Looking at it from every angle, Parade
Ground seems to be the best spot.
THE ADVANTAGES IN favor of Parade Ground
are 50 numerous that they defy opposition. First, it is
one OF the snoothest and most naturally handicapped
spots in the Island. Secondly, it is near to town, and
therefore easily accessible, and finally, it is large enough
50 that any Of the major sports-baseball, football, and
the like can be played there.
REALIZING THAT in time the population Of this
Island will increase, that there will be interchange of
activities between st. Croix and the other neighboring
islands, and even the continental United States, it is not
too soon to begin thinking about a stadium.
PERHAPS THE SENATE could appoint a commit
tee to look into the matter. On this committee could be
representatives Of the Department Of Education, Public
Works, the Senate, athletic clubs, and most certainly
citizens who are interested in sports. Perhaps public
hearing could be held to determine what type of struc-
ture and its size. Engineers and architects could contri-
butte much in ideas as to the type and cost.
IT is TRUE that such a stadium would entail main
tenance and an appropriate crew, but that is all part Of
the business Of growing up, and if this Island is to keep
pace with changing times then we must plan for it.
WE CAN ENVISION 4 fine little stadium seating
about 10000, with facilities for teams, including dress
ments and the like, and well kept grounds It IS not too
much to expect. In fact, it IS the normal and natural
thing, if we are to keep up with the times.

Wool Growers Are
Urged To Keep Records

Wool growers who marketed
lambs this fall should keep ade-
quate records of their sales so that
they will be able to make proper
applications for payment next
spring under the wool incentive
program, Kent County Agricultural
Stability and Conservation Commit
tee Chairman r. Harry Wilson
urged today at Dover.
The sales record for lambs sold
must include the name of the buyer,
his original signature, and the
number of liyeweight lambs sold,
plus the description "unshorn. !"
Lamb payments are made only on
lambs that have never been shorn
to encourage the customary prac-
tice of selling lambs with the wool
on.
II cannot urge to strongly" Mr.
Wilson said, that growers get
these fall sales records together
now either keep them in, a safe
place at home or file them at the
county ASC office. The final date
to apply for payments ON 1959-6O
marketings is next April 30, but an
application may be submitted any
time between now and them"
The chairman warned again that
lamb feeders particularly should
keep accurate records of the length
of time they have owned a specific
lot of lambs. Lamb payments are
made only to producers who have
owned lambs 30 days or more, and
the amount of payment is based on
weight gain of the lamb during the
sellers ownership.

Delaware citizens were also urg-
ed to display national and state
flags on December z.
The proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, this land of peace
and plenty which we enjoy and in
which each individual is endowed
with type of freedom that has
been heralded throughout the world
is our precious heritage; and
WHEREAS, all of these benefits
are possible because of the Repub-
lie which was established for us
by our forefathers after years of
careful planning to make sure that
there would be liberty and justice
for all; and
WHEREAS, following the adop-
tion of the Federal Constitution in
Philadelphia on September II,
1887, each of the thirteen colonies
were called upon as individual
units to express their desires re-
garding this document; and
WHEREAS, a special convention
of ten delegates from each of Della
wares three counties met in the
Old. State House, Dover, Oil Dec
ember Z, 1887, and unanimously
ratified the aforesaid constitution;
and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the
Importance of this occasion, which
later brought us the title of First
State, the General Assembly of
the State of Delaware by resolu-
tion on November 20, 1888, author
lied and directed the Governor to
issue a proclamation annually call
ing attention of its citizens to this
historic occasion; now
THEREFORE,, J. CALEB
BOGGS, Governor of the State of
Delaware, do hereby designate and
proclaim Monday, December 4,
1859, as
DELAWARE DAY
1t is my express hope that our
schools, both public and private,
our churches, civic and fraternal
organizations will take note of this
172nd anniversary of the ratifica-
tion and make every effort to i'm
press upon our citizens the signif1-
canoe it bears.
BY this act on the part of early
Delaware citizens, the initial steps
were taken to create a govern
ment whose first responsibility
would be it's citizens, thus assur-
ing that the age of tyranny in
America had passed.
On this day, / urge and direct
that our national and state flags
be flown from all public buildings
and that our citizens generally
join in a display of the colors.
1t is also fitting to note that this
same day marks the eighteenth
anniversary of the Pearl Harbor
attack in 1941, after which the First
States citizens were again call
ed upon to preserve and protect
that form of government which
continues to stand as a symbol of
hope and enlightment for people
throughout the world.
Attention may likewise be given
to the fact that this year is the
350th anniversary of the discovery
of Delaware Bay by Henry Hud-
son the real beginning of Della
wares history.

Our Asphalt Jungle

If every man who reads
this column should ask the
women Of his household, Are
you afraid to go out alone at
night in Washington, the
answer would be a unanimous
yes" What a sorry pass for
the Nations Capital that its
women are terrified to walk
alone lest they be brutally
attacked on main and side
streets both day and night!
A large percentage of women
live alone in Washington and
must necessarily go to work,
to church or to market.
1t is high time neighbor-
hood meetings be held to find
a solution to this danger that
is mounting every day and
night. Our police force is in
adequate to cope with this
lawlessness, but how about
volunteers, wardens for pub
lie safety to stamp out and
discourage these murderers
who are intimidating the
women of Washington? There
must be a solution to stop
ping this serious crime wave.

In Memory of the B-36

The last operational B-36, biggest
of the now outmoded conventional
bomberS, has been retired with appro-
pirate ceremonies. 1t will be preserved
by the city of Fort Worth as memorial
to a giant-though controversial-air
plane that, without firing shot at an
enemy, is credited by many authorities
with a major role in preserving world
peace during the premiSSile cold war
period.
Planned on the drawing boards prior
to Pearl Harbor but not built until after
World War II, the enormous propeller
driven B-36 was designed to deliver
10000 pound bomb load 10000 miles. A
total of 1888 of the superbomberS came
from the Convair production line in
Fort Worth. At one time the Strategic
Air Force had $50 of the bomberS ready
to attack any target anywhere in the
world, if the word should come. The
need for giving this word never arose,
the Air Force believes, because of the
readiness of the B-36 to wing its way,
high and fast, to the target.
The Navy, during the famous revolt
of the admiralS," called the B-S6 "bil-
lion dollar blunder," charging that its
relatively slow speed (about ABS miles an
hour made it a sitting duck for jet
fighters. But the Air Force won out in
the bitter feud and, eventually, some
$2.5 billion went into the manufacture
of the huge aircraft. Inevitably, Of
course, the B-36 had to give way to the
faster and more formidable jet bomberS
which now compose our strategic Strik-
ing forces And even now the jet bomb
ers are being showed into the background
by intercontinental balliStic missiles.
Lieutenant General C. S. Irvine, Air
Force deputy chief of staff for materiel
and commander of the first B-36 unit,
delivered this apt eulogy at the B-S6
memorial services in Fort Worth: I'm
the era of modern defense, this is the
first major weapons system to come into
operational inventory, Superbly perform
its deterrent mission and be retired
without firing shot in anger" Ger
tainly the billions spent on the B-36
were not wasted, in the light of this
well-deServed tribute.

Someone Must Lead

Everyone will share the hope that
modern medical treatment will make it
possible to arrest or control the cancer
from which Secretary Dulles is suffering.
# this can be done, it is conceivable
that Mr.. Dulles will be able to resume
significant role in the direction of for
eign policy-ours as well as that of the
West as whole.
There is no escaping the necessity,
however, of giving most careful thought
to the possibility that the stricken Sec
rotary may be unable to reoccupy any
thing approaching the role which he has
played in the past. In this unhappy
event, someone will have to assume the
responsibilities of leaderShip-and it is
most diff1cult to see how a decision on
this point can be long deferred.
The reason for this is that the on
rush Of events-eventS which may de-
ciSiyely shape the future of the United
States and the free world-cannot be
stayed. Looming just ahead are such
vital matters as meeting of Western
Big Four foreign ministers, the tenth
anniversary NATO meeting, and, in all
probability, a meeting of some kind with
the Russians on the Berlin and German
problems.
To assess the potential impact Of
these and other items of pending bust
ness on our society, one need only con-
slider the shock and dismay with which
our allies have received the word Of Mr..
Dulles illness. He has been the authori-
tative spokesman for the nation which
must take the lead in the Western APP
preach to these problems. Our friends
know that these matters cannot be al
lowed to drift without counting dis
aster for the West Yet they will drift
unless there is someone endowed with
both responsibility and authority who
can represent and speak for the United
States.
1t is this, then, which forces the
issue and compels a decision. If the
medical probabilities are that Mr. Dulles
will not be able to pick up this burden
when he leaves the hospital, successor,
1t seems to US, should be chosen at the
earliest possible time. This is not said
in any uncharitable spirit. It is simply
that the decision cannot wait unless the
welfare, even the security, of our coun-
try and our allies are to be put in
jeopardy.

ACoH to Arms

The Eisenhower administration,
committing itself more deeply each
day to the battle against extravagant
Government spending, is beginning to
pinpoint its fire on target that is easy
to hit but may be hard to destroy. 1t
is, in short, the army of special inter-
eSts" that has grown in size, variety and
political skills-all reflected in the
yearly totals Of money voted by Con-
gress or diSbursed by the executive
branch.
j Mr.. Eisenhower himself identified
this alignment against the broader pub
lie interest in his recent letter to House
Republican Leader Halleck. Reaff1rm-
ing his intent to stay with the fight,
the President wrote: 81 believe the pub
lie will soon realize, perhaps better than
now, that we are engaged in contest
between the public interest and wide
array of special interests, each demand
ing increased public spending in its
particular area"
Only few days earlier, Secretary
of Commerce Strauss had similarly
singled out this same enemy force" in
asking the business community to join
against "those pressure groups whose
fascination for deficit spending, unnec-
esSary programs and government COM
petition with private industry would
scuttle prosperity, stunt economic
growth and expose us to the disease OF
imitation" And, he added, 'if good
businessmen sit this issue out, all bust
ness and the entire country will be the
losers because of our abdication or in
difference"
1t is not news, of course, that the
organized pressure groups have great
influence on Capitol Hill and that "do-
ing something" for them most often
costs money. In recent years partic-
ularly they have received material aid
and comfort from a school of economic
thinking that appears to believe the
only way to keep America prosperous
is for the Government to spend more
and more money to be unworried about
deficits, public debt or any other "old-
fashioned" measuring rod for financial
responsibility.
Mr.. Strauss referred, in speech
in Chicago, to the incredible doctrine"
that it is more blessed to be in debt
than to be solvent. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that a majority of American in
dividuals can be "brain-waShed" into
such bizarre belief. We hope that
the larger army of the unorganized,
non-special interests (the public at
large) will join the administration in
this vital campaign.

Axis Sally Stoys in Jail

The general reaction to "AxiS
Sally's" decision to waive her chance of
parole at this time undoubtedly was one
of approval. There were few regrets
over her conviction in 1949 of treason
for her beguilingly voiced broadcasts
over the Nazi radio designed to induce
American soldiers to surrender. Sen
fenced in District Court here to serve
from 10 to 80 years in prison, Sally"
whose real name is Mildred GillarS,
would be eligible to apply for parole on
March "a. However, she has notified
prison officials that she does not intend
to apply. Perhaps she thinks it would
be futile to ask for parole so early in her
term. The penalty for what the Gov
eminent charged was peridy by an "un-
holy traitor" was light one, considering
the crime for which she was convicted.
If she serves the whole 80 years Of her
maximum sentence it would not be too
much.
