FRONT PAGE NEWS

FRONT PAGE NEWS
THEISLANDS have made the front pages of the leading
American papers, and since that is indeed a rare occasion,
we cherish it. The occasion was the announcement from
the White House that the President had taken active steps
to obtain greater selfrule for the Virgins.
WHAT IS significant is the manner in which the step
was taken. In the past most matters pertaining to the Virgin
Islands were treated by both the White House and the In
terror Department as secondary. If it was news at all, it was
stuck away in some remote part Of the papers, and usually
tackled on to other matters. Rarely did the President take time
out to make a special announcement, done in such a manner,
and so timed as to win the number one spot for the day.
HERE R those who would argue that this was pure.
~ political move on the part of the President, designed more
to meet political ~expediency than for concern Of the issue
itself. There is disagreement in this corner. The President
could have received as much political mileage out of this
move in many another way. But even assuming the political
situation, these Islands are the beneficiares in many, many
ways.
H latte of greater sefrule for the Virgin Is.
lands has passed the talking stage. 1t has been put squarely
up to Congress, and in such a manner that favorable results
are practically assured
FORM Of. proposal has already set in motion some
opposition. There are Congressman who would link Virgin
Islands selfrule with Guam, contendng that the latter is
equally as advanced, or more SO, and therefore should not
be put off any Longer. We in these parts should seek to make
our position clear on this point, and quickly. Greater %selfrule
as quickly as possible, is our goal, and if its Inkage with
Guam will not adversely affect us here, then certainly there
should be no opposition.
IT IS GRATIFYING to see the initial move made by
the White House in 4 forceful and effective manner, and the
people Of these Islands appreciate it.

1862 SOIL SURVEY MAPPING PROGRAM TO BEGIN IN SOUTHCENTRAL AREA

Valley, west of the Big Susitna River, Oliver said.
 The detailed survey maps and accompanying reports pro- vide basic soil information and will be used by SCS soil con servationists to assist farmers and homesteaders in develop ing soil and water conservation plans. They are also useful, Oliver explained, for many other purposes that require in- formation about the soil.
 The reconnaissance type sur veys are being carried out n cooperation with the Alaska State Division of Lands to pro- vide the soil information need- ed for the state land classifica- tion program.
 Soil maps are made by SCS soil scientists who walk over the land and examine important features of the surface soil, sub soil, and substratum to depths of three feet or more. Boun- diaries of soil areas are plotted on aerial photos. By knowing the properties of each soil, the soil scientists are able to make accurate predictions on how 1t will respond to different kinds of use and management. Soils can then be classified accord ing to their suitability for variety of uses, Oliver stated.

Presidents Machine Viewed as Symbol
Of Disciplined and Courageous Mind

which hasn't been manufac-
tured for many years now.
1t was the precision Of Mr.,
Wilson's mind which made
extraordinary the many let
ters and memoranda and
statements which he person.
ally typed. He knew exactly
what he wanted to say and,
though he typed slowly, he
was accurate to the point
of perfection. The same pre-
cision was to be noted in his
speech making. He almost
never prepared a speech in
advance, and during his en-
tire campaign of 1912 made
only one prepared address,
which he delivered on Labor
Day and which, he said after
wards, he didn't like.
Oddly enough, Mr.. Wilson
never had to correct his i'm
promptu speeches. The late
Charles Sven, an expert ste
nographer - If not a world
champion-took down the
speeches in shorthand and
gave them to this correspond
ent and other members of the
press almost always without
a single correction and usu-
ally without even submitting
them to anyone for revision.
No such handling of a Presi-
dents speeches has been
heard of since.
Mr.. Wilson didn't have any
"ghost WRITER'S" though it is
probable that some state
documents which contained
technical material were pre-
pared for him by cabinet Of
ficers. Certainly, after he be-
came i'll in 1919, his messages

various members of the cab

ton and continued by many
Presidents since. For a Presi-

covered in messages or state
ments on a great many sub

deliberately tightens the money
supply, he maintains.
AS a believer in following
rather than lealing the mar
ket, Mr.. Martin would favor
monetary restraints If demand
pushed interest rates up, rather
than easy money policies to
counteract the rate rise.
By applying the money
brakes, the Federal Reserve
would try to prevent initiation
by curbing excessive demand,
and also would let interest
rates rise in the hope Of at
tracing lenders.
Mr.. Martin and the admin
istration agree about one de-
velopment that might call for
higher interest rates, at least
on short-term credit and prob
ably to some extent in the
long-term area.
If the problem of the United
States balance Of payments
worsens, they agree, it prob
ably will be necessary to boost
interest rates to slow down the
flow Of capital to foreign money
markets. Treasury Secretary
Dillon has gone so far as to
say that it might become nee
essary to raise the rediscount
rate.

This is a story about a
typewriter that has just come
to the White House for ex-
hibition to the public. To
understand its significance,
one must ask how many per-
sons out Of the many mil
lions who use a typewriter
every day can do so over the
years and almost never make
a mistake in tipping.
Yet this is the feat which
a President of the United
States - Woodrow wilson
performed, and the evidences
OF 1t are to be found in the
many historic documents that
ne personally typed and
which are on file in the Lii
brary of Congress.
President Kennedy received
the typewriter at a little
ceremony the other day to
which he graciously invited

suggesting that, inasmuch as

the Red Cross, made the
formal presentation to Pres
ident Kennedy in a brief

But Mr.. Kennedy diSagrees
with this concept. He contend

Interest rates do not have

coveries. Their movement is

Tight money, he said, "can

economy" and cut recovery
short by discouraging invest
ment and home building.
Initiation No Threat
Monetary restraints have a
role to play in combating in
flation, he said, but he main
tained that initiation is no real
threat now. The President also
said his balanced budget for
next year reduces the need for
Federal Reserve action against
initiation.
Mr.. Martin, incidentally,
wishes the President had budg-

Mr.. Wilson also was an ex-
pert at shorthand, but he
used this primarily to jot
down notes as he thought

would cover in a speech.
These shorthand notes, how
ever were very brief, and
were mainly confined to
headings or points to be dis

amenable to suggestion from
others, but the language was
almost always his own. There
was a preciseness about his

speaking or writing, which
proved him to be a master of

language.

Absence of Fireworks at Sessions
Is Termed Most LoudubIe Aspect

The best part Of the pres
ent colorful chapters of the
Stennis subcommittee hear
ings is that nobody panicked.
President Kennedy and Sec
retary Of Defense Mcnamara
were prepared from the start
to invoke executive privilege
if necessary in order to pro-
tect subordinates who were
carrying out orders. They
deliberately held back so
the hearings could bear wit
ness that they were giving
the committee everything it
wanted except a few names.
Chairman Stennis main
tanned his judicial calm with
his colleagues as with the
military. Whatever his per-
sonal opinion of the course
Senator Thurmond and
others were taking, he con-
sidered their requests gravely
and enforced the courtroom
decorum.
1t was a break the admin
istration could not have fore
seen when Senator Thurmond
chose to take on the United
States Marine Corps, which
is well forward in any con-
test for the title of the big
gest buzzsaw of them all.
Then he added zest to the
