Will Have to Fiqht for Its Victories
DORIS FLEESON

Republicans can reasonably
expect to take some Senate
seats away from Democrats
next year, but such gains
will not be pure velvet. OF
nine G.. o. p. incumbents up
in 1864. only two are home
free: Senators Goldwater Of
Arizona and Hruska Of Ne
braska.
Senators Heating Of New
York and Scott of Pennsyl-
vania are as Of now heavy
favorites for various reasons.
Both are smart campaigners
and quick with the headline
issues. Senator Heating, in
particular, has shrewdly ex-
plotted the Cuban issue with
excellent information re-
ceived from defense or secu-
rity sources the smarting

More important, the once
powerful Democratic Party in

and creative managers. 1t is

already have at the lower
levels. Thus the names which
are mentioned to carry the
standard a against Senators
Heating and Scott lack con-
viction.
Senator Mechem Of New
Mexico is the Republican in
cumbent considered to be the
most vulnerable. In 1862,
after failing of denomination
for a fifth term as Governor,
he arranged for his own ap-
pointment TO the Senate in

1t adds to Democratic conf

are Democrats.
Senator's Beall of Mary

are confronted by recent
strong Democratic showings
in their States. Senator Beall
is said by Marylanders to

Senator Fong is today the

It's strange what q diff
ference a single year makes.
Facts that to some people
didn't seem like facts before
suddenly are recognized as
facts. The unfortunate part
is that, when there has been
a l2-month loss Of momen-
tum, particularly in the eco
nomic progress of the country,
the damage done by the
mistakes in judgment which
arose from indifference to
truth cannot be repaired.
This Is the situation today
with respect to steel prices.
A year ago, q proposed in
crease in steel prices was
tabooed without warrant Of
law but by fiat Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States,
accompanied by threats Of
reprisals against the steel
companies.
Now, however, the same
reasons are advanced for the
price rise by the steel COM
panies. and almost the same
language is used to announce
the increase, but fortunately
this time the administration
acquiesces.
Looking back to dispatches
Analysing what happened q
year ago, one finds on March
30-days before the price
rise in steel was announced
the following analysis by
this writer:
"As for price-raising in the
future, there will, indeed, be
some. Little publicity will be
given to the matter, and the
increases will be 'selective'-
in those categories where
competition isn't so keen and
where specialization in prod
uct can be q helpful factor
in making sales at higher
prices"
It was expected at the time
that the process would be
normal and would not at
tract much attention. But the
President decided to make an
issue Of 1t. He disregarded
completely the points made
on April 10 when Leslie B.

A Years Time Is Found to Have Put
A Different Light on Industry Action

Worthington, president Of
the U. S. Steel Corp, issued a
statement announcing the
price increase. Mr.. Worthing-
tons argument is interesting
to reread now in the light Of
what has happened this week.
He had said:
I'm the three years since
the end of 1858, United States
Steel has spent $l,185, 900. 900
for modernization and re-
placement of facilities and
for the development Of new
sources Of raw materials. In
ternally, there were only two
sources from which this
money could come: deprecia-
ton and reinvested profit.
Depreciation in these years
amounted to 500 million;
and reinvested profit, $l87
million-or, together, only
about two-thirds Of the total
sum required.
80 after using all the in
come available from opera
tons, we had to make UP the
difference of $3.50 million out
of Borrowings from the public.
In fact, during the period
1958-61 we have actually
borrowed q total Of $500 mil
lion to provide for present
and future needs. And this
must be repaid out Of profits
that have not yet been earned
and will not be earned for
some years to come"
Mr.. Worthington pointed
out that reinvested profits
had declined from Sis mil
lion in 1858 to less than So
million in 1861.
But these economic facts
were ignored by the admins
tration. The next day Presi-
dent Kennedy at his news
conference spoke out about
how "a tiny handful of steel
executives whose pursuit Of
private power and profit ex-
ceedS their sense Of public
responsibility can show such
utter contempt for the inter-
ests Of 1876 million Americans.

ton on the eve Of the 1861
invasion as a vehicle to unity

landings, Its identity as a
creature Of the United States

failed.
But the Kennedy admins
tration decided to maintain
the council with Mr.. Cardona
as president in hopes that it
could exert a soothing influ-
ence on the exile community
and restrain its obSession with
politics. The weakness was
that Mr.. Cardona, who had
broken with Fidel Castro in
mid-1960 after having served
as his premier, had no stand
ing among his countrymen
because he was, in fact, an
American puppet drawing
monthly pay Of $500 plus ex-

His difficult position was
dramatized in December
when the ransomed members
of the Brigade refused even
to look at him as they landed
in Miami. His position became
intolerable when the United
States Government moved to
halt the exile raids on Cuba,
and his proposal three weeks
ago that the Government rec

The exiles may or may not

the United States to abandon

Anyone who has ever borne
the yoke of oppression and
tyranny will always breathe
deeply the sweet air Of a
land where the rights Of
man are paramount. The
American system is not
only one of free enterprise.
It is an enterprise of free
dom. Woodrow Wilson put
it this way America is
not a mere body of traders;
it is a body of free men. Our
greatness is built upon our
freedoms moral, not ma
terial, we have a great
ardor for gain; but we have
a deep passion for the rights
OF man."
Can any of us say there is
reason to regret the change?
Quite to the contrary, l be-
lieve each of us should be
deeply grateful that ours was
the fortune to become Ameri-
cans by measure of that change
those 46 years ago. Let me tell
you why l believe this to be
manifestly true.
AS we became citizens, this
opened to us not only a better
life in the Virgin Islands, but
also the opportunity to share
as American citizens on the
Mainland. We think of Virgin
Islanders today as living in
many states of the United
States wherein they enjoy the
same economic, political and
social privileges that are SYM
bolic of the Stars and Stripes.
Many of our young students
have been afforded the oppor-
, 1963-04-04

that the fulfillment of our
dreams can only be realized by
the recognition of the intrinsic
of others.
This heritage was passed on
to us in the Virgin Islands
from the monument our Anne
rican Flag was raised aloft at
4:45 pm. on March 81, 1917. 1t
remains with us today and will
be ours in the future as long
as there are good men among
us who realize that freedom

tunity of attending the free
public schools on the Mainland
and later entering one of the
many fine universities spread
across the face of America.
We have shared fully and
benefited tremendously from
the fact that we are American
citizens and part Of a great
nation which today finds itself
called upon to lead the free
world through these perilous
times and into a prosperous
and peaceful future.
Let us never forget that
freedom in a Democracy means
not only the rights Of the ma
jority, but the rights of each
Individual citizen as well as
well as the rights of the vari-
Gus groups that are a part Of
our society, whether they be a
faction of the majority or the
minority. Assistant Secretary
of the Interior, John A. Carver,
Jr., in a speech last month on
the island of Guam, expressed
it this way:
Democratic institutions
are founded upon the tested
principle of majority rule. But
a sound philosophy of demo
cratic living must undergrad
such institutions and it places
equal weight upon the sanctity
of minority rights-the right
to be heard, the right to gen
uine consideration, the right to
appeal or redress, the right to
be different without indignity
When we abandon these deals,
the system is no longer demo
cratic, but the mob rule that
the prophets of freedom and
human dignity have counseled
against through the centuries"
We Virgin Islands Ameri-
cans must ever remember that
the freedom we enjoy is a free
dom hammered out through
years of suffering by genera
tons Of people who escaped
tyranny and oppression to
fashion a free life in the United
States of America. Let us be
mindful of the lesson of history
that brought about our nation

DC. Fighter
Victim in
Comic kayo

MONTREAL. Feb. 8 (AP).-
Georges Thilbeault, o Mon
treal heavyweight who has never
fought anyone listed in the
Ring Record book, extended his
string of knockout victories to
eight last night In q comic
drama with slight boxing over
tones.
The victim this time-at 2
minutes, as seconds Of the
opening round of a scheduled
eight-rounder - was Billy
(Kayo) Brown of Washington,
D. c., an unknown with a
massive paunch and ear-to-ear
grin.
Thibault normally rushes from
his corner without taking a
breath. But Brown took a swig
from a soft drink bottle, hitched
up his oversize shorts and went
out to do battle with arms
failing.
Thibeault was obviously be-
by a hail of haymak-
ers. Several landed and Georges
showed he can take a stiff belt
in the chin.
Brown missed once in un-
limbering a swing and piro-4et-
ted - rather ungracefully - tor
the floor. The referee ruled it
a knockdown despite Browns
panied protests.
Then Thibeault landed his
first crisp punch Of the bout.
Brown, visibly tired, keeled over
and lay face down on the deck
for the 10-count.
