Interior SecY. Section
Delivers Farewell
Message to Virgin Is.


Secretary of the Interior Fred
Seaton, after unwilling the plaque
at the Alexander Hamilton Air
port on Monday afternoon, said:
1T is a pleasure indeed to take
part in today's formal dedication
of this new terminal building of
the Alexander Hamilton Airport.
In the course Of my various
visits to your beautiful islands
since 1855, / have been repeated
ly impressed by the tremendous
growth that has taken place here:
at the new hotels, schools, and
private residences that have been
built, at the increasing number Of
tourists.
1t is typical of this growth that
in the past 10 months, under the
able leadership of Governor Mer-
win, the runway of this airport
has been heightened to 5000 feet:
and this new terminal building
has gone up, to provide modern
facilities to take care of-and in
deed to stimulate steadily in
creasing flow of air traffic to this
Island.
These improvements came
about in part through the assist
ance of Federal grants under the
Federal Airport Act, totaling
about $1,000, 900, plus grants from
the so-called Double r funds
totaling about $500 1000.
The Double I" funds, as you
know, come to the Virgin Islands
under the Revised Organic Act,
signed into law by President
Eisenhower on July %, 1854. The
$500, 900 for this building is part
of the almost SLIT million which
under the Act, has been allocated
to the Virgin Islands for the con-
struction of public projects, in
Guiding two new schools here on
st. Croix alone.
With the passage of the 1854
Organic Act, Federal funds for
the Virgin Islands were sharply
increased.
Between 1914 and 1954-ten
years-total Federal investment
in public works ON the Virgin Is
lands was $40 million, about 81
million a year.
In the past six years, the Fed
eral investment for public pro-
jects and Government operations
has gone to approximately $23
million-or about 81 million a
year-a rate four times that Of
the preceding decade. And to conn.,
plement this figure there is an
other $23 million from local rev.
enues to be used for the same

Appeals Court
Orders Review Of WI.
Rent Control LuW

The Virgin Islands District
Court has been directed by the
US. Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit to hear a petition
which challenges the constitu-
tionality of the Rent Control
Law.
In an opinion received recently,
the Appeals Court declared that
the Virgin Islands District Court
was in error when it dismissed a
petition filed by Kress, Dunlap &
Lane, Ltd, in st. Thomas, for re-
view of a rent-fxing order of the
Commissioner Of Property and
Procurement.
The Virgin Islands Code fixes
rent chargeable for real property
in the Virgin Islands at the rent
prevailing on July /, 1947, if then
rented or if not then rented at the
first rent charged thereafter Or a
rental administratively deter
mined.
The petitioner raised t h e
monthly rentals of three tenants
of a property it owns in ST. Croix,
Virgin Islands. One Of the ten
ants, Amandeo A. Forbes, COM
planned to the Price anos Rent
Control Agency which entered an
order fixing the maximum rentals
for each tenant at levels prevail
ing before the rent increase.
The petitioner appealed on the
ground that it did not get apro-
per hearing; that improper stand
ards had been applied in fixing
maximum rentals; that the freez-
ing Of rentals at the 1947 level is
unrealistic and constitutes the
taking of property without due
process of law; : that the emer-
gency upon which the rent con-
troll law is founded has ceased to
exist and is therefore no longer
enforceable.
The Commissioner Of Property
and Procurement did not answer
the petition for review, but
moved for summary judgment.
The court granted the motion and
entered a decree dismissing the
petition for review.
The Appeals Court decision,
handed down by Judges Good
rich, Kalodner and Staley, said
that the District Court decree
constituted error under the prin-
ciple that summary judgment
may not be granted where a gen
uine issue as to a material fact
is presented to the court.
THAT issue Of emergency is
material to the determination of
the constitutionality of the Rent

Senator Heating, Republican
of New York, offered the
amendment to revive for two
years the alien orphan adop-
ton program. Under it more
than $4,000 children we're ad-
mitted as non-quota immi-
grants before the law expired
June 80.
Tabling Motion Loses
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield offered a motion to
kill the amendment by tabling
it. He said he favored the law,
but that it should be handled
as separate legislation or as
an amendment to an immigra-
ton bill.
Senator Mansfield's motion
lost on a 43-42 vote and on a
subsequent roll call the amend
ment carried by a 68-l2 vote
with Democrats, anxious to
share with Republicans credit
for the popular proposal, join
ing the insurgent ranks.
The Kennedy administration
has urged revival of the orphan
adoption law. But Chairman
Walter, Democrat of Pennsyl-

to recommend it.

Senator Keating told a re-
