GIVEN ST. CROIX
ROTARY CLUE
October 20, 1860
BY H. w.
Commissioner of Tourism
and Trade

In the so-called free port shop
ping facilities of these islands we
have, of course, one of our prime
attractions. From a physical view
point our shops are uniquely bea-
tiful and here is not another resort
in the Caribbean at. least, which
can begin to compare with them
on that basis. The merchandise is
certainly varied and lovely. 1t is
only when we touch upon the
price question that we take any
thing other than unqualified pride
IN our shops. | do not, for a mo-
ment, pretend to be a merchan-
dising expert. Our office prepares
shopping information for distri-
button and makes an annual price
survey of certain items such as
perfumes, liquors, watches, crys-
iaI etc. When it comes to making
g comparison of our prices with
those in other Caribbean resorts,
I find we are competitive in most
categories with jamaica, Haiti
and most others. During this pre-
sent season / have been worried
and distressed at the frequent
critical remarks about our prices.
Not one or two, but dozens Of in
Gividuals have stated unequivocal-
II to me that they would not buy
a single thing in these Islands be-
cause our prices r outrageous.
Others have stated that they
bought only liquor and cigarettes
because thev found everything
else higher than they could buy
them elsewhere. Whether these
remarks were really just-only a
comparative survey, can prove
such as / made this year by visit
ing the islands / mentioned be-
fore. Ny survey proves most Of
these accusations incorrect but
nevertheless it is the duty Of our
gift shop owners to keep prices
competitive with other resort
areas and to be able to answer
tourists with facts when they dis
pute prices.

TOURISM GETS A DOS

IOURlSM GEIS A BOOST
WITH CUBA practically out Of the tourist picture,
these Islands could take in an even greater share Of the
trade coming in this general direction. Much has been
done, but there is still much more to be done. The econo-
my of this place must turn, first Of all, on tourisn, then
agriculture, and finally. industry.
BUT THEIR is more to the tourist business than
meets the eye. Hotels and guest houses are only the out
ward manifestations Of the trade. By far the greater
problems and activities are behind the scenes, where
sound initial planning and careful execution are vitality
important.
THESE STANDS boast many good hotels, a num-
Der Of them in the luxury class. These latter, Of course,
attract those with the means and the desire for such ac-
commodations. Then there are others which can meet
the need for more modest trade. What has been the
contention in this corner is that there is a need for a
type Of hotel which would attract the working and mid
ole income group.
IN ADDITION TO a new. and different class OF
hotel, there is the need for all the countless services
without which a tourist trade would collapse IN short
order. In this connection W. need to- develop even fur
Their a highly trained staff Of personnel to man these
hotels and provide the services which are SO important.
AGRICLTURE which has taken a back seat for so
many years in these parts, should come into its own, for
it can provide a tremendous boost to our economy. The
population, and the hotel trade could be given much I'M
petus if we here could provide more of the food we eat.
THE ADVISORY Committee on Tourism which re
Gently elected its officers may become one OF the most
important groups to come into existence in this govern
ment. Headed by a man like Ralph Paiewonsky, and
supported by a group of well known citizens with hrst-
hand knowledge of local conditions, this group can rem
der an invaluable service to the Islands.

WE LOOK FOR great things from this Advisory
group.

D. c. Approves
Plan to Assist
Minority Groups

The District Commissioners
today approved plan of the
Council on Human Relations
to conduct a series of meetings
aimed at easing the problems
Of young minority group
workers"
Today the council hopes to
call in various groups that
work with youth, including
school leaders and social work
ers. ....
In justifying the plan to the
Commissioners, the council
said it feels it should attempt
to persuade Negroes to strive
for the number of job oppor-
tunities available to them. ST.
multaneously, the council will
continue its efforts with man
agement and labor to institute
non-discrimination policies.
I'VE believe" the council
said, "it encumbent upon the
District government to assume
the initiative in this impor-
tant area"
The first meeting is planned
for some time next month and
will hear from leaders con-
cerned with raising the skilled
level of minority group job
applicants.

the greater and higher speeds
of the jets, the aircraft noise
at any given point is far less

planes.
Large aircraft approaching to
land would enter the airport
traffic area at an altitude of at
least $500 feet and maintain
that height as long as possible
before landing.
The traffic pattern area
would include the airspace
within a five-mile radius Of
the center of the airport from
the ground up to 1000 feet. All
aircraft passing through would
be restricted from flying in
this area.
Normal flow of air traffic
around the airport would be
r-clockwise, with all
planes making turns to the left.
Exceptions would be permitted
if the traffic could be expedited
safely.
Initially. the airport will
have three runways, two run

Vain, SO, of Isl Broad street.
Mr.. Wain'S employer, James

Mr.. Vain was dipping his

1T happened so quick, he was
out of sight before you could
wink your eye.
THE river really boils and
churns at that point" Mr..

IT'S WELL the President
was at the ball park watch
ing the Senators take a COM
manding lead and didn't
come back to see what hap
pened in his garden.
A military man, he likes
discipline even in sports
the precision firing of supe-
rior golf. He could not have
been pleased by the perform
ance of the Red Sox; their
10-1 defeat yesterday was a
rout, a diSorderly retreat.
But he might have been
more disturbed if he had
wandered into the Execu-
tive Gardens after 8.
The signals of the safety
valves had been ignored.
That might have been
grandparental complaisance.
The music probably had
nothing to do with it. But
the boredom of the children
had risen to the point Of
explosion.
And then all sorts of
things happened.
They rolled downhill after
their eggs, overtaking and
rolling over them, thereby
soiling their Easter garb.
They began breaking eggs
by throwing them against
trees, or at one another.
Things were picking up.
Despite grandparental pro-
tests, they were having a
whee of a time.
And, with one or two ex-
ceptions, they abandoned
the broken eggs. They did
not seem to realize that a
hard-boiled egg is of high
protein nutritional value
good eating.
Oh well, this has been 60
ing on for years.

ABOUT then that everything
got out of hand.
The children had been
pretty patient with their
grandparents. They had
been brought along on the
idea that this was to be a
wonderful event-that there
was something extra special
about rolling eggs down the
slopes of the White House
lawn.
They had tried it. They
had had it. At grandparental
suggestion they had taken a
blue or pink or red Easter
egg from the basket held
above by the helping hand.
They had rolled the egg
ooWn the slope. And nothing
happened. 1t just rolled as a
ball would, or, despite its
ovate shape, pretty much as
a ball would.

The
Rambler
Enjoys
Easter Monday
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The egg rolling on the
White House lawn yesterday
was anarchy, riot and revo-
luton.
Perhaps that's Just as well.
Youth must have its fling:
juvenilia, its delinquency.
The truth is that there is
no corps of law, no body of
regulation, no rules, no we'll
organized game about the
annual egg rolling.
The lawn is well known. 1t
is the private park of the
White House, seldom entered
by the public.
1t is the half-oval behind
the Executive Mansion, not
the EllipSe where the Christ
mas tree CLEANS in the Pag-
cant of Peace, but the gar
den within the fence of iron
palings.
For years that go far be-
hind the memory of the old
est inhabitant, it has been a
place for children to roll
eggs every Easter Monday.
Yesterday, despite the chill
in the air and the counter
attraction of the Senators
winning the opening ball
game at Griffith Stadium, a
goodly crowd was there.
For the most part, the
children were of an age that
accepts Easter eggs as the
product of Easter bunnies,
and for the most part they
seemed to be in the care of
grandparents. Their parents
probably were working.

Morse Raped
For Accepting
TeamsterFee.
Humphrey Bucker
Hits $500 Paid
For Ohio Speech
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star stan Writer

An official Of the D. C. Com
mittee for. Humphrey today
lashed Senator Morse of Ore
gon for accepting a $500 speak
er's fee from the Teamsters
Union.
The attack by w. John Ken
tney, chairman of the Hum
phrey committee, was based
upon a statement by Senator
Morse yesterday that he had
received the fee and expenses
for addressing a Teamsters
meeting in Toledo, Ohio, early
this year.
Declared Mr.. Kenney:
Senator Morse's acceptance
Of money from the Teamsters
Union, after it was exposed by
the Mcclellan Committee and
ousted by the AFL-CIO for
corruption, is tantamount to
condoning the worst practices
in the labor movement"
Morse Defends Fee
Senator Morse said at a
press conference yesterday that
the fee he received was the
standard" fee he gets for his
numerous speaking engage
ments to all types of organi-
cations.
He also said that there is
no moral issue in accepting a
speakers fee from the Team
Sters." However, he added,
that he wouldn't accept one
from James Hoffa, president of
the Teamsters Union.
1--WE are trying to get the
Teamsters locals to clean
house." said Senator Morse.
"The worst thing we could do
would be to turn our backs on
the Teamsters locals.
The Senator denied he had
been given any money by the
Teamsters Union for his po-
litical campaign and said he
had received the speakers fee
from this organization before
he started seeking the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
Criticized Hoffa
The Senator said he would
not repudiate nor ask for the
support of Mr.. Hoffa.
At the same time, he said,
mo one in the Senate has
spoken out more in criticism
of Hoffa than I have" He
added that he had even de-
Tended Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts from attacks by
Mr.. Hoffa on two occasions.
The Senator emphasized that,
while he would be very glad
to have support from individ-
ual teamsters, if were a
TeamSterS delegate I would not
vote for Hoffa for president"
Senator Morse, who is an
honorary member of the Team
sters local in Bend, Greg, has
been warmly praised in Team
ster publications. He is the
only living Senator who voted
against the Landrum-Gr
labor reform bill.
Senator Morse called the
press conference to discuss his
campaign for the District pri-
mary election May 3. !
He started of by challenging
his opponent, Senator Hum
phrey. to a debate. =.
ITS about time Humphrey
started talking about the is
Sues" declared Senator Morse.
Predicts d. C. Victory
On other subjects, the Ore
Igon Senator:
Predicted he will win the
presidential preference pri-
maries in the District and in
Oregon, but does not expect
as of now to win in Maryland,
although he will make a good
race there"
Declared that Senator Hum
phrey washed himself out as
candidate for the nominal
ton when he got a shellacking
in Wisconsin.
Asserted that a fundamental
difference between him and
Senator Humphrey is that the
Minnesota Senator is willing
to compromise on liberal prin-
ciples.
Stated that he believes he
now has "a chance" of getting
the Democratic nomination in
case of a deadlock"
