proves to be a popular feature OF the

also thought that if there were
any Navajo children who would like

Rockefeller purchased Estate

Tourist Resort on

remote island Of Virgin Gorda in

been launched with the announce

north shore of Virgin Gorda and
is surrounded by green-clad hills
rising from a long arc of white
sand and crystal clear waters.
The project is designed as an
aid to the economic development
program of the British Virgin Is
lands and is the first major tourist
project to be located in the is
lands, an archipelago linked geo
graphically and economically with
the U. S. Virgin Islands. Virgin
Gorda has a population Of some
600 persons and is "a miles north
east of st. Thomas. Planning and
land acquisition for the Little Dis
project has been underway for
some five years by Mr.. Rookie
teller.
A lease for some 365 acres of
Crown land adjoining his Little
Dix Bay property was signed by
Mr.. Rockefeller on February II,
1861, at Tortola, clearing the way
for the project. Under the 99-year
lease, more than 100000 in rental
fees will be paid to the British
Virgin Islands government by
1875 and an investment Of no less
than $1,500,OOO is assured for the
island. Local labor will be used to
the maximum extent, a needed
access road through the Crown
lands will be built for public use,
and a new dock area will be built
at st. Thomas Bay to serve the
resort and visitors to the island.

OPINION IS VARIED throughout the free world. 7

United States must take a secondary role, and bide its time
until it can catch up with the Russians. In the meantime it
must hope that it is not too late. The conquest OF space IS
more than scientific. 1t is psychological, and above all mill
tary. IF the Russians can launch a space platform, equip It
with nuclear weapons, and fire these arms at will, then no ma
ton on. earth is safe, and bargaining at the table becomes g
makeshift.
DESPITE ALL THE talk about peaceful coexistence,
and peaceful purposes, the Russians have long declared and
repeated their position that ultimate world conquest is the
final aim Of Communism, and in announcing that a man had
been successfully launched in space, the accomplishment was
hailed as a socialist" triumph, proving that their system Is
superior to that Of the West. It IS safe to predict that the world
will not be allowed to forget that this superiority exists, and
the ~ncommitte nations Of the world will be invited again
and again to cast their lot with the victors.
THE UNITED STATES must face up to the problem,
and no doubt it will. 1t is said that a rocket program could
have gone ahead years ago, but was tabled. Now we are
working to catch up. Among the steps to be taken are the uni
Gcation Of the space program for more effective results. Inc
nation will have to come to an awareneSs Of what is involved,
and make the sacrifices necessary to catch up with the Rus
slams. This may be a matter of survival

strongly against Western rec

He spoke to a convention OF

Labor to Rule
Major Purty,
Hoffo Says

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, July 8
(AP)-James R. Hoffa, presi-
dent Of the powerful Teamsters
Union, said today labor will be
able to take over one of the
major political parties in 1864.
Mr.. Hoffa, who was here to
attend the TeamsterS Union
convention, made his comment
in reply to a story in NewSday,
a Long Island newspaper.
which quoted him as saying,
young aggressive men will take
over the labor movement land
we are going to take over the
political party, Democrat or
Republican, that loses the 1864
presidential election.
Mr.. Hoffa was quoted by re-
porter Bob Greene as saying
the labor-dominated party
would elect its own president in
1868.
Mr.. Hoffa told the Associated
Press that he referred in the
interview to the labor move
ment in general as being able
to take over one Of the estab-
lished political parties land
actively participate as we do
in our own unions"

bility had been expressed pre-

pretty big force" Then he
added:
I'm fact, if you compare 1t
with the military units that
we think the Soviets have. we
are not, in terms Of military
manpower alone, very far be-
hind the Soviets."
Mr.. Gilpatric said he thought
this held true even when troop
strengths of Russian satellites
and United States allies are
figured in.
The most recent official an
nouncement on United States
military manpower is for the
beginning of last month when
total strength was 2,472,895. OF
that total, S56,233 was Army,
0,405 Navy. 176.847 Marines
and 819,410 Air Force.
During the past week there
has been speculation that the
mounting crisis over Berlin
might result in an expanded
draft quota, an increase in the
25O,000 United States military
manpower in Western Europe
and perhaps a call to Federal
service of a few National Guard
units.
When Secretary Of Defense
Mcnamara was asked at a news
conference on June % whether
a White House meeting that
day considered such things as
calling up guard units or in
creasing the draft, he replied
no" But then he added, 1--WE
discussed a number of subjects
today and I am not at liberty
! to discuss them now"

COW produced g. statement from
