the United States has two
choices.
Either we accept II and
knuckle under or we don't" he
said. "And II we knuckle un-
der, the succeeding steps, the
succeeding pressures In other
areas are going to come faster
and faster and faster.
Up to Russians
IF Russia wants to make a
point of 1t. II they want to start
a war over this point, they will
start a war But II they
want to start a war they would
start a war whether 1t is over
this point or some other point.
They can make the point
any time that they want to
make it,"
II Russia chooses war, Ad-
miral Burke said, the United
States has the military might to
destroy the Soviets and will
continue to have 1t for several
wears.
"Our strength now at the
moment is much greater than
Russia" Admiral Burke said.
"A years from now 1t will still
be greater than Russia.
What we have to have is
the capability to destroy Russia
no matter what she does, and
in the future we have got to
put our missiles In locations
which are unknown to the err
envy. Intelligence is going to
play a tremendous part, have a
tremendous effect on this whole
problem"
Limited War Peril
Both Admiral Burke and
Gen. Randolph M. Pate, Ma
rine Corps Commandant, told
the subcommittee they feel
there Is more danger Of a linz
tied war than Of a general war
Admiral Burke said he re-

CARDS q limited war as more
probable because the Soviets
in a general war. would be de-
stroyed and would have MOTH
ing to gain"
With this In mind, Admiral
Burke said he regards reduc-
tons In the size of the Navy
and Marine Corps as unwise
but does not believe they now
jeopardize national security.
Under questioning by Senate
Democratic Leader johnson
Admiral Burke said he thought
the United States has adequate
military forces to support Its
foreign policy
But ] think that If this Ber-
lin crisis goes on. II it gets
deeper, we have got to move, y
the admiral added. I'VE can't
wait until the last minute"
Senator Johnson wanted to
know when Admiral Burke
thought that would be.
1T is a vague thing. sir" he
testified, but 1t depends en-
tirely upon what Russia does,

and I think that is perhaps
within a month"
Some people think 1t has al

johnson remarked.
1T is getting worse, SIR"
Admiral Burke replied.
In response to questions, Ad-
miral Burke said the Marines
"can get along with their re-
duction" from 100000 to l75,-
600 men but 1t Is going to
be very difiicult to do It,"
There have been strong pro-
tests in Congress against this

that occur until each depart
ment and agency achieves a
personnel cut OF 20 per cent
below present strength.
But the fact that Mr.. Cannon
and other key members Of his
all-powerful committee are
backing some kind Of an at
triton cut in Government jobs
makes II highly likely that
some attrition formula for re-
ducing Federal employment
will be adopted.
Stung by President Eisen-
hower's challenge to the Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress to
economic in expenditures, TOP
Democrats are ready to retort
by cutting the number OF
Government jobs. In this they
will be Joined by conservative
Republicans.
Mr.. Cannon emphasized that
no Federal employe would lose
his or her job under his pro-
posal-that the cuts would come
solely from not filling three out
of every four personnel vacan-
cies that occur.
But Government officials fear
that such an arbitrary attrition
provision would play havoc with
their agency programs and also
jeopardize promotion chances
of employees, etc.
The test on the Cannon pro-
posal will come when the House
Appropriations Committee takes
up the second supplemental de-
flciency bill. A rider tackled
onto this bill could apply to all
Government departments and
agencies.
The subcommittee handling
the bill is composed of ardent
economy advocates, another
reason why some kind of job
vacancy filling ban will prob
ably be adopted.
Heading the group is Repre-
sentative Thomas, Democrat of
Texas, who has sponsored a
number of riders to cut down
Federal employe benefits. 9th
ers on the subcommittee are
Mr. Cannon; Representative
Taber, Republican Of New York,
perhaps the strongest economy
advocate in the House, and
Representative Jensen, Repub-
lican of Iowa, who sponsored a
similar vacancy-filling ban rider
that became law five or six
years ago.
Meanwhile, the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees has
assailed the Cannon proposal,
calling it "unsound, uneconomic
and contrary to the national
interest and security"

TOWARDS A RESIDENT COMMISSIONER
EVERY TIME MENTION Is made- ! l.,

whether to a Congressman or the newspapers, every
editorial comment, every approach brings us that much
closer TO the realization Of a resident commissioner for
the Virgin Islands. It is good, therefore, to note that at
tention is being given to il, though BY no means with
the enthusiasm and diligence required to bring quick
results.
, 1959-08-19
EVERYONE IS AGREED that there & d

such an Office, Part Of our trouble in the past has been
lack Of representation where itcounted most. This is not
to say that we have not been represented. There have
been commissions and commissions, trips and trips to-
Washington. While all that is all right, it does not COM
pare with the continuity, the on-the-spot attention and
influence, and the effect of work which comes from hav-
ing a full-time Office at work IN the interest Of these
Islands.
THE TROUBLE WITH 4 resident commissioner has
been with our failure to use enough, or the proper me
thods Of public relations to bring about the desired
results.
SMAILNESS is ONE argument we will have to
overcome if this Office is to be established. True, we do
not have the volume Of business, nor the economic big
ness, or the population to attract the type Of attention
which Congress would normally give to the big things
Yet, because Of the basic democratic philosophy which
runs through our system Of government, even the small
est is given his day in court," This is why every now
and again some Member Of Congress will give attention
tot.
FINE IS fast approaching when this dream
will become realty. But it cannot be left to chance. We
must do something about il, and do it il ! systematic,
orderly way--and soon.
