Lawyers Get
$176,25Oin
Fares Cut

Three young Washington
lawyers who fought for more
than three years against the D.
c. Transit bus frae increase
have been granted $176,250 In
legal fees by Judge Luther W.
Youngdahl of the Unite d
States District Court.
: The three were Leonard N.
Bebchick, Leonard s. Goodman
and Harold Leventhal.
Their efforts resulted In a
ruling by the United States
Court Of Appeals that the tran
sit company had no justifica-
ton for raising the fare from
20 cents to Is meets in 1860 and
1861. The court ordered q $2.4
million fund from the excess
set up by D. C. Transit for fu-
tQre use Of bus riders.
Judge Y o u n 8 q q n /, noLlng
that the lawyers had worked
almost 1000 hours on the case,
said that "if attorneys or 9th
ers are to be encouraged to I'M
dertake class actions IN behalf
Of the public-and such suits
are an important means by
which the public assures itself
Of equitable rates then the
perseverance of attorneys who
eventually do win must be rea-
sonably rewarded"
The court order said fees to
the a ttorneys will be drawn
from the transit reserve fund.

Star staff Writer


--4 Star Staff Writer
District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen said yesterday he could
see no sound justification for
city authorities to deny fiscal
1865 school spending requests
on a plea of poverty.
He spoke to the school
boards finance committee as itI
prepared for board considera-
ton today its protest against
District Building cuts totalingI
more than SIT million from the
schools overall budget request
Of s104,4l6,600.
Besides asking restoration of
some $16 million. the school
board is expected to object to a
proposed transfer Of the school
nursing program to the Health
Department.
In q report to the finance
committee, DR.. Hansen said he
does not accept "the thesis that
available funds will be insuffi-
q. Gent to meet all Board Of Edu-
cation requests in 1855"
He cited the recent authorize
ton Of a $50 million annual
. Federal payment to the Dis
trict. and an increase of.
500, 900 in the city's borrowing
authority for capital improve
ments.
Dr.. Hansen suggested the ne
cessary financing could be ac-
complished by increasing the
1865 borrowing above the $40
million presently proposed by
the Department Of General Ad-
ministration.
. City authorities allowed the
schools So million for increas-
/. es In operating expenses, as
compared with the boards re-
: quest for $5.3 million. This per-
nitted funds for only 256 of
326 teachers requested, and cut

Why?
I have been told that a press
release" is forthcoming to inform
the public Of the change. This let
ter should have been public six
months ago so that those Of us
who have business with the FILA
could have prepared ourselves for
the close of the office on % Nov

In the interest Of progress for
st. Croix, in the interest of the
people, ! feel that the various or
carnations and interested citi-
zens, our representatives and our
government should investigate
the sudden change or use their
good influences to have this office
reinstated. This is a critical time
for us, when there is an abund-
ance of outside private capital be-
ing invested, and available for
private out side owned invest
ments. We need available to us
the necessary capital so that we
may not afterwards suffer having
not been able to develop ourselves
and invest ourselves in st. Croix.

NOV6LIlDGE 20, 1900
Dear Editor:
/ was shocked by an article in
the st. Croix Avis concerning the
closing of the Farmers Home Adj
ministration" office in st. Croix.
! was doubly shocked when it was
brought to my attention that let
tiers dated 81 November 1863 were
released on % November 1868,
notifying the hundreds of appi-
cants and recipients Of services
through this program, that the of
flee would be closed in st. Croix
effective % November 1868.
This news is shocking for vari-
Gus reasons, but most of all be-
cause Of the aid to the progress
that has been realized through
FILA in ST. Croix.
Nearly one million dollars have
been procesSed in loans over the
past year 10 nearly one hundred
persons. ] doubt seriously wheth-
.er any other branch of the
Federal or local government has
invested as much in "self-help"
for the people Of st. Croix.
AT q critical time as now, when
attempts are being made to- phase
out" sugarcane as our main agri-
cultural crop, I foresee more FILA
assistance in education & financ-
ing for farmers. New crops are to
be sought and the transition per-
iod will definitely be difficult.
New buildings will certainly be
necessary and money is going to
be in demand.
An office removed to Puerto
Rico with monthly visits to st,
Croix) defeats the purpose-of the
office. This program is one Of ser
vice, not removed from the COM
munity, but in the community.

WHAT NEXT FOR v. T.?
THE QUESTION for US here IS w

- 49, ~ 10 ASNN ~ NMNS - AN iva OpSH
WITH "A NEW President in the White House, all APP
pointed officials, including the Governor, of the Virgin Is
lands, must tender their designations. This system gives the
Chief Executive an opportunity to select his official family
without the embarrassing difficulty Of having to remove any
one. Nor does it make any difference that the President
iso the same party.
H CHANCES ARE that the Kennedy policies will
continue, and that a great many Of the official family will
remain the same. Nevertheless, the two men are totally diff
ferent in a number Of ways, and this will create changes in
personnel. For example, if a new Secretary of the Interior is
appointed, he may recommend another Governor, for poll.
teal on other reasons. The Senators who were close to, and
had influence with Kennedy may not be the same as Johnson,
and appointment will reflect this change.
ONE OF THE unfortunate aspects Of this sudden change
is the grand scramble for the local top spot. There is no deny
ing that there are those who would like the spotlight and
before long the campaigning and pressuring will begin. Then,
wonsky will move with more boldness, using whatever mis-
takes he has made as added excuse to seek a change.
BUT LIKE THE situation on the mainland, there must
be continuity Of functions despite change. Our problems re-
main the same. We still face our major problems including
the need for an adequate water supply more and better
housing, more effective education, electrical energy to suit
our needs, improvement Of industry, and finally, the ground
work f6rsan elected governor.
WHETHER H present local administration viii re-
main il office is to be seen. But the problems are the same,
and whoever takes the helm must come with understanding
and faith ready and willing to perform those tasks which
caMkTont them TInIecc fiS Il done nr0preSss will cease.

dy Roberts, only a sophomore
but already a singer with a
voice of unusual maturity and
quality.
Richard Wright sings the
role of Rikard Nordraak, the
boon companion of Edward
and Nina. Richard is a veteran
of many choral productions,
including Kiss me. Kate, The
King and i, A Connecticut
Yankee, and Amahl and the
Night Visitors.

liamsOn's analysis.
The new standards will at
tempt to separate tobacco
quality according 10 market
acceptability.
r4Zao
Buyers want a medium
bodied tobacco carrying a
nigh level of flavor and
aroma and a medium level
Of nicotine. They want an
open, granny leaf.
"One complaint last year
was against tightness and
sickness. In order to get top
quality under the news tand-
ards, II may be necessary
for a farmer to be reconcile
ed to lower yields (pounds)
per acre"
Lewis advised farmers to
fertilize and cultivate the
current crop in line with
high quality requirements.
"Give particular attention
to quality maintenance when
topping and suckering. con-
trolling insects and diseases,
and harvesting and curing.
And be careful in using
all chemicals SO as not 20
impair market quality. Us
ing chemicals i'm excess could
cause disappointment this
fall"
Lewis said marketing prob
lens at home and overseas
suddenly ganged up to force
a revision of the tobacco
standards.
"All of our headaches didn't
come from overseas. In this
country there has been a
marked shift toward filter
type cigarettes. Last year, for
instance, 80 percent of sales
were filters. You just don't use
as much tobacco in a filter
type as you do a non-filtcr.
AS result, domestic mani
ufacturcrs used 1.8 percent
"SS tobacco last year than in
1861. But the reduction in con-
of fluc cured tobacco
vas actually thought TO be as
Ugh as 3 percent. Part of this
decrease may be attributed to
increased use Of Burnley tobac-
o."
Lewis said overseas markets
which normally take 30 per-
'cnt of the American crop are
becoming more competitive.
The chief reason j., rapid to-
,acco export increases from
2hodcSia Nya$aIand and In
Tia, with some increase from
Canada.
The off-ShOot of the matter
is u. S. exports now constitute
only 40 percent of foreign i'm
ports compared to 10 percent
from l9i7-5l. u. S. exports

A weekly problem which
might be funny, but isn't, now
faces growers of the states ton
farm crop-tobacco.
For the first time in 20
years. farmers are planting
the weed without an answer
10 basic question: which
quality and grade will be in
greatest demand when mar
kcting starts this summer?
Old grade standards which
were a guide for both farmers
and buyers are being ditchcd
or revised. A series of fast de-
vcloping problems caused by
: changes in domestic consump-
ton patterns and International
trade factors is bringing to-
bacco marketing problems to a
dramatic climax.
A favorable solution may
send South Carolina income
from tobacco sales above the
1l3 million dollars recorded
last year. The reverse could
he bitter brew in 80 of the
states 46 counties where
farmers have tobacco alIot-
mcntS.
We've just visited the heart
of the tobacco country in the
Pee Dee, watched farmers
transplant the weed To the
field, and talked To seasoned
tobacco men articulatc on all
aspects of the business.
Uncertainty now prevails
because the new grade stand
ards will not be announced for
perhaps another month. But
the cycle which will breed
good quality, or bad. has FL
ready started.
The farmer Is in the position
of the chef who has a pot of
boiling water and various in
gradients but hasn't decided
what brew To make. Until the
new standards are published,
he won't know for sure.
But the best opinion now is
that the revision in grades
