ST. CROIX IS THE A

ST. ROW IS THE PLACE )
IF H VIRGIN ISLANDS are to have a college, we
can think of no better location for it than St. Croix Nor is
this an empty promotional approach to the problem. ST. Croiz
has the space, the terrain, and the conditions under which an
adequate college campus can be developed.
A COLLEGE, if ever it is founded in these Islands, will
be by, of, and for the Virgin Islands. Too long has there been
the awful tendency to pit island against island, town against
town, people against people, forgetting completely that on the
whole we are but a tiny Speck, even in the Caribbean, much
less the Atlantic. Time to think in terms of the Virgin Islands
has come.
COLLEGE CAMPUS is nothing more or less than a
town, a small town in the truest sense of the word. There are,
of course, clasaooms, laboratories, a gymnasium, and the like
But there are also dormitories for men, and for women, an
auditorium, and then eating places, social centers, and houses
for faculty members and others. Many colleges have a chapel
serving students. Add to this a store or commssary and what
have you but a small town?
IF WE ARE TO develop a college then every such faciL
iy must be on the drawing boards. True, the beginnings will
be modest, but that cannot be for long, Judged by todays rate
of progress. So, space can become a factor, and so can terrain
There is adequate space in the Bethlehem areas, west through
Golden Grove, and the like, The easy accessibility to both
towns, and the airport are conditions which would play a part
in any selection of St. Croix as the place for the Virgin Islands
college.
THERE MAY be those who think in terms of the TOWNS
and would point to colleges in the big cities which have no
campus, and still are famous. That condition need not be a
determining factor in these parts where more than just class
rooms and laboratories are needed. The real reason, for exam
pie, that colleges in the big, crowded cities do not have cam.
puses is because there is absolutely no space. But we believe
Ill - Ill --L -.@.oI
desirable.
THOSE RESPONSIBLE for location, among other
things, would do well to take a second, closer look at 81. Croix

Presbyterians Again Oppose
'fRight-io-M ork" Laws

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(PAD-
The United Presbyterian Church at
its 173rd general assembly reaf-
firmed its opposition to fright to
work" laws.
In detailed study-paper giving the
church's attitude, the decision was
reached that negotiation of union
shop between employer and members
of union should not be taken ''out
of the collective bargaining process
and put in the hands of the govern
ment"
The study points out that "a right
to-work law uses the power of the
state government to produce in that
state compulsory open shop in all
industries, regardless of their size or
nature. The absence of a right to
work law permits management and
union in each industry to bargain
and work out voluntarily the arrange
ment that is a workable compromise
between their respective interests.

Tax figures for 1859, just pub

although many of these families de-
pended upon more than one bread

There were 1876 million families III

$4,000 and $4,000. This was two
million more than in 1858.
There were, CORRESPONDENCE IA
million fewer families showing tax
able incomes below $4,000. Yet, these
made up the bulk of u. S. families and
numbered just below 36 million.
Recent figures showed that person

allowing for population growth and
higher prices, there was little to cheer
about. "Real per capita income" said

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)
An extensive and expensive pro-
gram called Life Line and fl
nanced by Texas Millionaire H. L..
Hunt, now claims daily audience
on 1877 radio stations in addition
to printed commentaries issued
three times a week. Hunt calls his
project "a patriotic education pro-
gram designed to "alert and in
form its listeners to the menace of
Communism and to offer
suggestions to correct this situa-
ton The printed material also
notes its religious nature.
Hunt was one of the biggest fl

sponsored a program similar to Life
Line called Facts. Forum" which
used Dan Smoot as its commenta-

broadcasts from Washington, D. c.
Hunt also wrote a book, "Al-

Do you support strict law en-
forcement as a means of curb
ing the death and destruction
which is steadily mounting on
the Montana traffic scene?
In the first nine months of this
year 200 persons were slaughtered
by the "blunt instrument" murder
weapon, the automobile. 155 acct
dents occurred in that nine months
in which our population was need
lessly decreased.
The morbid tale of non-fatal auto

day, but la of the 200 were killed
between dusk and dawn.
During the congestion of daylight
traffic with unrestricted speed, 66
fatal accidents occurred killing Sc
persons.
A law restricting speed is thus not
the major tool to stop the waste of
human resources.
Why is it that you are seeing less
and less of the highway patrol cars
on the highways when the slaughter
is reaching new all time high?
The number one reason rests with
the last and worst legislature. The
patrol budget was cut $S3,772 from
the previous two-year period, accord
ing to the Controllers sheets in the
state budget directors office These
next two years the patrol has only
$2,712,248 to cover the protection of
life through law enforcement. This
slash comes in the face of a 32 per
cent increase in the volume of traffic
over what it was ten years ago.
In these next five years this will
be accelerated another 1873 per cent

For the purpose of our total ma
tional defense, some 165 missile sites
are being constructed The most dis
tinguishing feature of the area in
which the sites are being built is
space. The $4,000 square miles en-
comprising the project is only 20@o
of the entire land area of this vast
state, yet is it equal to the combined
area of the industrial states of New
Jersey, Massachusetts,, Maryland and
Rhode Island.
The population of Montana aver
ages 4.6 persons per square mile.
There are more than 545 persons per
square mile in the four states men,
toned above. These comparisons have
no value except to draw mental pic
ture of the area in which labor and
management are working on these
missile sites in Montana.
FORMIDABLE COMMUNICATIONS

lem faced labor and management as
we'll as labor and it's leadership in
mobilizing and maintaining the work
force.
Prime contractor, the George A.
Fuller Company-Del E. Webb Cor
poration,, and the sub-contractors use
airplanes, helicopters and short wave
radio to keep track of their end of

serves as an ambulance in case Of
accident.
Labor union representatives travel
the area in automobiles, averaging
about $50 miles a day, over $1,000
miles of roads, to keep in touch with
their members. The labor force gets
to work in automobiles.
Roads,. such as they are in many
places, have been bulldozed out mere

MANKIND ON BRINK
OF DISASTER

Udall, reverting from the topic of
conservation, called on the people to
support President Kennedy in this
time of crisis. "There has been no
period when mankind has stood closer
to the brink of disaster and catastro-
phe'' he said Certainly there should
be criticism and discussion, he said,
"but let it be reasonable and mature
criticism. Quoting Sam Rayburn,
the Interior Secretary said, "Under
our Constitution there can be only
one President of the United States at
a time, and whoever he is, he is my

copter will swing and dance in the air,
roads will be rough, muddy and MUIR
der on cars. Distance. winter or sum-
mer, requires long hours of travel
for workers, union leaders and man
agement field personnel.
With these built-in handicaps,
FuIler-Webb came to Montana to
construct vital defense project.
They had the money, they needed
the labor force. Montana labor
leadership was equal to the task
of supplying the manpower with
an astounding and commendable
lack of confusion and delay.
The contractors, working under
the prevailing wage contracts of the
area also have project agreements
covering matters pertinent to defense
work with all but two unions. The
basic understanding necessary in any
construction job was not difficult to
arrive at.
However, this was only a small
portion of the problems that faced
the labor unions who then had to
supply the force to do the work, for
Uncle Sam needed the job completed
quickly.
PROJECTS MAGNITUDE
STAGGERING
The magnitude of the project would
have been staggering any place in
the country, but in Montana no single
town could supply the number of
workers. Union leadership, to meet
its obligations had to make some
changes in standard operational pro-
cedures. These changes were not just
to the advantage of the unions, be-
cause efficiency in supplying capable
workmen was necessary to orderly
progress on the job.
How we'll the anti-labor forces have
done their work is evident in the
fact that these efficiency measures
by labor unions are being used against
hem.
