Transfer of Guam Government
.. ToCivilians Halted by War
& BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, — (NEA) — Korea’s war has
brought to a new head the old boil of trouble over
transfer of U, 8. Naval government to civilians on
Guam, the other Marianas Islands, American Sa
moa and the UN trust territory in the Marshall and
Caroline Islands of the Pacific,
Transfer of government on Guam from Navy to
Departmrent of Interior was scheduled for July 1.
An organic act for Guam, establishing civilian self«
government, has passed the House and been re=«
ported favorably by Senate Committee on Interior
and Insular Affairs. The bill is on the Senate’s cone
sent calendar and is scheduled for action soon, Ap=
propriations of $1,250,000 to run the new civilian
government on Guam have also been approved by
the House and are pending before the Senate.
1f the North Korean attack had been delayed a
weel or ten days, this transfer of government might
have been made. Since last September, Governor
. Carleton Skinner, a civilian, has been in Guam,
taking over from the Naval government,
Some 400 to 500 Naval officers and enlisted per
gonnel on Guanr have gradually been replaced by
civilians and released for other, more active duty,
‘Everything was all set for the big switchover,
Promises made to the Guamanians 50 years ago,
when they were liberated from Spanish rule, that
the islands would be given local self-government
under the Stars and Stripes, were about to be car
vied out, Navy had agreed to it—though somewhat
reluctantly—and everything seemed simpatico.
ACTION POSTPONED 30 DAYS
But ig June, Defense Secretary Louis Johnson and
Chief of Stats Greneral Omar Bradley visited Guam
for a few days, during their quick trip to Japan and
baclk, Becretary Johnson didn’t have much time for
Governor Skinner, except for.a few minutes at the
} airport, before take-off. The Navy apparently saw
| to it that the two weren’t seated together at official
gatherings, although at that time Governor Skinner
Ewu responsible to Secretary of the Navy, Francis P.
Matthews, and not to Secretary of Interior Oscar
Chapman,
Nothing happened to change the schedule of
L transfer until after the North Koreans attacked on
®fune 28. Then Secretary Johnson put up to the
}-Ndent a proposal to delay matters indefinitely.
Secretary Chapman demurred on an indefinite de«
fay. They compromised on a 30-day postponement,
So the transfer may go through okay soon, unless
either or both of two things happen. If the Senate
unexpectedly balls on passage of the Guam organic
act or appropriations for the civilian government, it
will be no dice. Or if the Defense Department or
the Navy asks soy further delay and the President
approves, again no dice, This latter possibility is the
more likely,
Only reason given publicly for further delay of
the governmental transfer is that it would avoid
confusion in time of crisis, But the actual transfer
of government has all been made’ during the past
ten months, All that remains is the formality,
| COST OF NAVAL GOVERNMENT HIGH
| There is an economy angle in making the trans
| fer, tOO. Cost of Naval government on Guam has
been over §3,000,000 a year. Governor Skinner made
@ hit with congressional appropriation committees
when he came back to Washington and said the job
could be done for $2,000,000. Congress showed its
appreciation by cutting down that amount $750,000
further, Governor Skinner says he can meet the cut
by increasing local revenues. -
{ Also, Guam is 1,500 nriles from Manila, Tokyo and
Formosa, o is in no immediate danger zone, Guam
§s still an important Naval and air base, however,
Navy's top man on Guam today is Rear Admiral
t Osborne B, Hardison, who recently relieved Rear
Admiral Edward €. Ewen as commander of Mari
| anas, Navy really controls Guam because no ship
can touch there and no person can land there with=
out Navy clearance.
Transfer of government fromr Navy to civilian
authorities on the other Marianas, American Samoa
and the trust territory is now scheduled for July 1,
, 1951, Navy has never been very enthusiastic about
. this transfer of authority either, although it has all
but abandoned its base on American Samoa.
Even if Naval government is replaced by civilian
government on these Pacifie islands, it would still
be possible to kmpose military government or mar
tial law z presidential order, in an emergency.
That is What was done in Hawail during the last
war. But it didn’t work very well, and as soon as
possible, local government was given back to the
people.

No One Can Afford to Hoard;
7
It's a Costly Game to Play
From President Truman on down, we’ve had re
peated warnings that foolish hoarding of food and
other necessities can lead only one way—to ration
ing and price control.
As everyone recognizes, it isn't the occasional
housewife alone who aceounts for this rush to stock
up in fear of war-induced necessities. In timeg like
these, there are always some merchants and specu
lators who give scare-buying an extra shove in
their selfish desire to reap rich returns while the
getting is good.
The threat of control only spurs such individuals
to greater effort to beat the clamping down of the
lid. And so the pace of the trend accelerates,
Most people, of course, are too sensible and pat
riotic to indulge in hoarding, especially when there’s
so little excuse for it as now. And most business
men won't stoop to encouraging such practices,
either, In fact, some high-minded firms have taken
up the cry against them,
A striking example of this comes from Macy’s,
the huge New York department store, Its appeal
for sanity was set forth in full-page ads in the New
York newspapers. Macy’s message makes a perfect
editorial on the subject, Some excerpts:
“So far as we can see, there’s no important short
age of anything, right now. Our own counters are
bulging with merchandise, In many, many lines
there’s a surplus.
“And America’s productive capacity today is at
such a level—nearly double what it was in 1939—
that it can cope with just about everything except
a stampede of hoarding and panic-buying. . ~
“The struggle in Korea may well last for a long
tinre. But many experts believe ‘it will remain lim
ited in area and scope.
“Yet suppose the worst happens, suppose we do,
despite all we hope and pray for, become involved
in another full-scale war?
“All the more reason why every sensible Ameri
can—and every decent American--should look on
hoarding with revulsion, It ALWAYS plays squarely
into the hands of our ememies.
“In any state of affairs, peace, half-peace, or all
out war, hoarding is the worst thing we can do,
Hoarders only hurt themselves. And their families.
And their neighbors,
“So buy what you need or really want, But please
don’t be stampeded into buying what you don’t
want. You'll pay for it twice. Youll pay for it be
cause you'll be spending money with no immediate
benefit to yourself. And you’ll pay for it again be
cause it will help raise the prices you'll later have
to pay for most everything.”
That says it plainly enough, Hoarding is a self
defeating game In which everybody loses, Let’s all
stop engaging in it NOW,
Little Thailand Shows the Way
The United Nations’ request for ground troops to
help U. 8. forces in Korea produced a neat bit of
irony,
The first firnr offer of foot soldiers came not
from countries like Britain, France or populous
India. It came from tiny ‘Thailand in Southeast
Asia,
Thailand is so situated that were the Commun
ists to strike successfully from China down through
Indo-China, she would almost surely be engulfed.
This vulnerability has made her willowy — up to
now—in her resolve to resist the Reds.
But the UN stand against North Korean aggres
sion seems to have stiffened her resolve remark
ably, Many nations with much less immediately at
stake could learn from Thailand’s example,
. Any girl who wears a scanty (bathing) suit is a
fool. She is merely attracting the worst in men, who
in some cases don’'t have to be attracted.—Cartain
Hazel Witt of Cleveland, Ohio, Police Women's
Bureau,
The recent loss of China to the Soviets was due
in part to the fact that the Chinese had lost faith in
the white world of Europe and America because of
white exploitations and condescension, — Walter
White, executive director of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored People.
Perhaps the fact that Japan has a great industrial
and military potential and is friendly to us may
prove one of the deciding factors that will keep the
Soviets from forcing us into war.—Lieut. General
Robert Eichelberger, Army consultant on Far East

“I lost Mommy, so I'm looking for
a policeman to find my Mommy
for me.”
The inquiring lady took over
from there. With his small hand
in hers they made their way to
the first aid station, which was
located in a large tent.
The woman did not expect to
find his “Mommy” at the station,
but there she was; and the little
fellow took it as a matter of course.
What surprised the observer most
was to see the mother so perfectly
calm and confident. She told the
observer and several interested
policemen and others, she knew
her child was safe, because he
would remember just what to do.
She had taught her child to have
confidence in the police and, be
cause she knew that when they
became separated, her child would
instinctively do the thing he had
been taught he should do in just
such a situation—look for his
friend, the policeman—she had
remained calm and confident he
would be found. -
“Lady, my years on the police
force would have been much easier
ones had there been more mothers
like you. Many youngsters are
taught to fear or hate a ‘cop’ and
that makes it difficult for us to
help them sometimes.”
The child called & cherry “Bye!”
to all as he left the first aid tent
with his mother, °
One of the child’s first lessons in
human relationships had been to
look upon law-enforcing officers
as friends of the people and to
express gratitude for them. For
tunate is the child who ‘learns;,
early, lessons like this which will
help him to become a good citizen.
