Royal Native bypassed the New
Castle last Saturday, second of
the Big Three series, in order
not to risk picking up three

that event. She'll still have to
haul topweight of l29 pounds
in the Delaware, heaviest burd-

Small Boat Fishing Improving

Small boat operators should
be glad to hear that fishing near
the shores is improving. In the
Indian River area bluefish are
plentiful at the end of the jetty;
as many as 40 to so blues have
been landed per boat. One
should be extremely cautious
when fishing in this area due to
rough seas which often prevail
there.
Trout, croakers and founder
are increasing in number in Del
aware Bay. The Slaughters
Beach area has experienced
good fishing in the last week.
Trout weighing three pounds,
and founder weighing five
pounds have been reported. Fish
have also been landed in the
BoWers-Kitts Hummock area.

the question of shopping,
restaurants, and services,
is another matter.
Would it be advisable for
Congress to consider having
created a charming street
Of stores and shops Of the
type and kind it feels would
be architecturally appro-
pirate? Without close = by
restaurants. book stores,
camera shops and other
commercial establishments,
the Hill could be a fairly
austere place. Present mer-
chants would certainly de-
serve consideration.
The Williamsburg Restor-
alton architects created a
magnificent showplace that
attracts appreciative tour
lists from all over the coun-
try to an out-of-the-way
village deep in Virginia. A
similarly gifted, group of
architects might well Gre

is certainly not the full
answer.
The whole job Of creating
a charming and appropri-
ate setting for the Capitol
does not appear to be Just
a job for planners and en-
gineers. 1t probably could
best be done in control of
Congress, working with a
Statesmanlike artist, as CO.
ordinator, in whom men,
bers could place trust and
confidence.
Thomas Jefferson, with
his far-ranging interest in
good design and convictions
about. its essential simplic-
ity, could never have re-
sisted a challenge like this.
Were Congress to con-
slider this matter of Great
ing an appropriate setting
for the Capitol as a project
in the large sense, it GER
tainly could count on like
wise challenging the inter-
est and services of the
country's best qualified and

Capitol Hill Proposal

= Continued From Page B-1
over still more land on the
periphery of its current ter
ritory, whatever that terri
tory may be at a given time,
experience has shown that
this uncertainty creates a
prediSposition to blight. The
owner fears that:
l. He cannot improve a
property for his own use
with the expectation that
he will, at least, get his
money back If the property
is taken over later.
2. He cannot hope to i'm
prove a property in such an
area and then offer it for
sale in the expectation of a
profit, since potential buy
erS, likewise, are aware of
the threat of a take-over
and this knowledge limits
the possibilities of a sale.
East MoH Cited
The result has been that,
with exceptions, much of
the property in the path of
Congressional expansion has
been deteriorating for gen.
erations. The East Mall
program, for example, has
cast a pail on much Capt.
tol Hill property.
1t is understandable that
no Congress may hitherto
have wished to decide on
the limits and characters
tics that may have been
desirable for the Capitol
and its surroundings.
But the present time may
not be an inappropriate one
to begin a discussion of this
matter, with the purpose of
eventually resolving some
Of the chaos in the surround
ing area, and Of providing a
basis on which private
owners could work with the
expectation that what they
do will last and will not be
suddenly snatched away.
The current proposal to
buy two Capitol Hill blocks
for Government use enviS-
ages, apparently, the razing
of the commercial property

THE DEMOCRATS SELECT
THE CANDIDATES selected to run OF

THE CANDIDATES selected to run on the Demo-
cratic ticket are as sound a selection as that party could
have made. In fact, there is perhaps little else that the
Democrats could have done because these were the can
didates who are not only the most well known, but pre-
sent a most favorable and impressive record and SER
vice in the party and the Senate.
AT LAST THESE Islands are seeing organized po-
litics. No longer are we confronted with the lone-wolf
candidate who, often without regard to qualification or
anything else, and motivated by whim, put himself into
the picture. Today, it requires organization to become a
candidate, and this means that others have an opportu-
nifty to voice their sentiments, and to want to put up
only those who have a fair chance Of winning, or max
ing a good showing at the polls.
H DEMOCRATS HAVE a platform, which all
will have an opportunity to study. This also means that
in addition to the candidates and their popularity or OPP
portunities for winning, there must be adherence to a
program, and that program must attract the voters. No
longer can a candidate just talk on whatever topic
comes to his mind at the moment. He has responsibility
to both the party and the platform, and it is his ability
to convince the voters which may in the end win the
victory.
AS THE 1860 campaign opens, the entire Virgin
Islands can only hope for a new and different campaign,
one that is wholesome, instructive and lofty. And why
should it be otherwise! Politics, while very much alive
in these parts, it nevertheless lacks the sharp, cutting
edge of purely professional politics. And this is only
natural, for while we devote much time and attention to
ii, and claim considerable sophistication, it is still not a
purely fulItime job here. Our concern, therefore, should
be for the general welfare, with personal gains possible
being secondary.
ALL THINGS considered, we have a perfect right
to expect an enlightening and constructive campaign.

MY "Two-Bits Worth"

Now that the recent U-2 flight with
it's consequent disruption of the Sum
nit Conference has given the diplo-
maniacs (pardon me / mean diplo-
mats) of the several nations the grand
opportunity to blow off steam in every
direction in bitter invective directed
at the dips-pardon again-the diplo-
mats of the rival nations it is barely
possible that by shifting the foggy
clouds of steam of this invective, that
the man on the street, by utilizing
little thought may gather a few grains
of truth out of the fog created.
Our statements great fault was two
fold, first, we spiedAand got caught
at it, and second, we lied about it and
got caught in that. So you see the fault
wasn't either in spying or in lying,
according to dips-er, diplomatic pro-
cedure but in getting caught at it. A
diplomat can afford to get caught in
such rapid succession is tragic and in
some cases fatal.
Naturally our Pentagon and State
Departm don't want a cessation
of the cold war and possible disarma-
ment Where would our statesmen find
employment for. the army of people
which would be released from military
service if that happened? 1t would re-
quire volume of concentrated thought
to find a solution of that problem, and
concentrated thought is a subject which
our stat esmen, or most of them, don't
care to contemplate. Just finding cam
paign issues is a severe headache for
most of them. Soaring the credu1ous
public is not quite so difficult, so the
U-2 flight and the Defense "Alert" at
the same time furnishes an opportunity
to avoid real issues by throwing a scare
into the credulous citizenry.-LE-

Senate Wheat Bill, A Sharp
Setback For Montana Farmers

eral hours of debate on the bill Meth
err Montana Senator ever stood up
to say a word in opposition to this
demonstrating legislation. Of course,
both Montana Senators are from
Western Montana, where wheat is not
important to the economy. Never
the-less, it seems to me a Senator's
job should be to represent all of
Montana, and particularly the farm
ing areas which produce the largest
part of Montana's income. Neither
did either Montana Senator oppose
the provision in the bill which will
permit the Secretary of Agriculture
to increase allotments of North Da-
kota's durum wheat areas, grossly
discriminating against Montana dur
UNI producers. This is the same pro-
posal / succeeded in killing in the
House when it passed as Senate
bill earlier this year.
Congressman Breeding of Kansas
and /, the two top wheatgrowing Rep
resentatives in Congress, will make
every effort to substitute our House
bill described above) for the income
destroying provisions of the Senate
bill. Our task is made vastly more
difficult by the failure of Montana's
Senators to point out the disastrous
impact of their bill on Eastern Mon
tana farm income.

PRELIMINARY 1860 CENSUS
FIGURES FOR MONTANA

The preliminary figures on the
1860 census just recently completed
in Montana Indicate that the Treasure
States population has increased by
1870 since 1850. This compares with
ITO national growth rate for the
entire country from 1850 to 1859.
The 1860 population estimate for the
State is 668,O22.
The Bureau of the Census reports
that 26 counties in Montana lost pop
ulation i'm the past ten years. The
greatest loss was experienced in Sill
yer Bow county, however the reduc-
ton was somewhat less than antici-
pated in spite of the depressed min
ing conditions that have plagued the
Butte area in recent years. The re-
port shows a very definite movement
toward the urban areas of the state.
The four counties with the largest
population continue to be Yellow
stone, 1901; Cascade, 1878; Sill
yer Bow, 46,049; and Missoula, A.
458. The county evidencing the most
rapid rate of growth in the past ten
years is Valley county, 45% (Glas-
gow) which is not too surprising be-
cause of the tremendous activity gem
Grated by the construction of the
Glasgow Air Force base. The county
showing the second most rapid rate
of growth is Lincoln, 414o libby in
northwestern Montana. The other
counties which show a population

BY Cong. Leroy Anderson


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The steady
progress we have been making toward
a satisfactory farm bill to deal with
wheat and feed grains received a
jolting setback Thursday when the
Senate passed a bill slashing acre
ages and income of Americas wheat
growers.
Provisions of my Family Farm Act
of 1860 were included in a wheat
and feed grains bill reported to the
House by the Agriculture Committee.
In return for 25 per cent cut IN
acreage. the level of price supports
would be raised from the present 70
per cent up to 85 per cent of parity.
A payment in kind of 55 per cent of
the normal yield would be made for
acres taken out of production. The
net result would be an increase in the
wheat producers income above that
possible under the present program.
At the same time government costs
would be reduced and surplus produc-
ton halted.
The Senate bill, on the other hand,
slashes the wheat farmers income
with 20 per cent cut in acreage and
no corresponding increase In support
levels. 1t deals less effectively with
the surplus problem than does our
House bill. The Senators seem to have
been brainwashed by Benson to the
point that they apparently believe his
hogwash about solving the farm prob
lem by cutting the farmers income.
AS Senator Munlt exclaimed, This
will solve the surplus problem. 1t
will starve the farmer off the farm"

Former FDA Official Triggers
Probe Of Lax Drug Enforcement

WASHINGTON. D. 1C.=lCNSl=-
Six food and drug workers face in
vestigation because of charges made
before the Senate Antitrust sub
committee, June 2.
Welfare Secretary Arthur Flem-
ming had already demanded that one
FDA official resign - DIR. Henry
Welch, head of the agency's anti
biotics division. He named two of the
other six = Bernard Boeckman,
Welch's assistant, and DR.. William
Wright, research chief under WEIGH.
Flemming told the subcommittee
June 6 he had called special inquiry
to look into charges of "too close"
ties with private drug companies. DR..
Barbara Moulton, former FDA medi-
cal expert, triggered the charges.
Now a physician in Charles Town,
w. Va, DR.. Moulton resigned her
FDA job February 10 to be free to
fight for ga housekeeping within the
Administrations she told the COM
mittee. She said she was switched
from one FDA job to another because
she wasn't sufficiently polite to
members of the pharmaceutical in
dustry."
Some FDA officials are so friendly
with the drug makers they're sup
posed to police that they often sue
cumb to pressure, she said. Private
conferences between industry men
and FDA officials "are the rule rath-

deliberate neglect of the consumers
interest during the past five years.
