CRAMER PLEDGES ISLAND ECONOMY New Governor of Virgin Islands Will Cut Down ~ Expenses. By the Associated Press. Lawrence W. Cramer, Governor of the Virgin Islands, whose appoint- ment fo succeed former Gov. Paul M. | Pearson was approved by the Senate | yesterday, sums up future policies of his administration with one word— economy. He will try to achieve it in two ways, he says: By reducing the cost of the islands’ administration and by slashing the Federal appropriation to & size he believes commensurable with & community of 22,000. “Taxpayers would raise a terrific howl if any community of similar size | in the United States received a Fed- | eral appropriation like ours,” he said. | “I hope to make a substantial reduc- tion of the annual appropriation pos- sible.” Al “unnecessary” jobs will be abol- ished as soon as he returns to St.| Thomas, Cramer said. Which ones | these would be he did not indicate. | A hope of balancing the islands’ budget also will lead him, he said, to | indorse and sgek funds for only such public works "projects as will prove self-liquidating. P. W. A. Sum Cut Down. Former Gov. Pearson applied for $1.600,000 of public works funds. Sec- retary Ickes and Cramer already have Whittled that item down, the new Governor said. | Cramer indicated his greatest in- | terest lies in improving the sanitation of the slands, particularly at St Thomas, where a large reservoir is | said to be needed imperatively. Engi- neering difficulties are expected, how- | ever, and Cramer feels the project may | Prove too costly. He has several plans for swelling the islands’ exchequer. Probably the | most ambitious calls for building up | Bt. Thomas as a tourist center. Bids | already have been asked for private | operation of the islands’ best-known | hotel, Blue Beard Castle. Linked | with pirate lore, the castle is being improved with P. W. A. funds. Confirmed After Debate. | Cramer was confirmed by the Senate over opposition which demanded a | return to naval administration. An hour and a half of acrid debate ended | in approval of the President’s appoint- ment without a record vote. Cramer | sat in the gallery and listened to the | debate with an amused smile. “I am very pleased that the Senate saw fit to vote favorably,” he said later. “I'm sure that some of the doubting Thomases won't be so wor- | ried later on.” | He said he planned to return to the islands in about two weeks. ] GUARDSMAN FACES | MILITARY JUDGES Officers of Camp to Hear Private Plead Shooting of Girl Accidental. By the Associated Press. CAMP CLARK, Nevada, Mo.. Au- gust 14.—Ray Bixler, 19-year-oid pri- vate in the Missouri National Guard, | ‘was summoned before a general court- martial today to answer charges of manslaughter in the slaying of Miss Harriet Hasty, 40, Paragould, Ark. Thirteen officers, here for the an- nual Guard encampment, formed the | military tribunal in the organization’s | most important court-martial since ! the World War. | Miss Hasty was shot and fatally | wounded last March 21, when Bixler, | on flood patrol duty along the St.| Francis River, attempted to halt her | motor car at a bridge approach. Bixler contends that Miss Hasty failed to stop and as he brought his rifle up to fire a warning shot the trigger caught on his cartridge belt or raincoat and discharged the weapon, COINAGE HELD INDEX Director of Mint Says Small Change Ending Depression. SAN FRANCISCO, August 14 (£).— The nickels, dimes and quarters the United States has been turning out of late seem, to Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the Mint, ample proof the depression is ended. Here to witness the start of con- struction of the new San Francisco | Mint, Mrs. Ross said: { “During the first six months of 1935 the Mint has produced more coinage | for the Nation's business than at any | time in its history. | “The men who have worked in the | Mint for years tell me this demand for change coinage is the surest sign of | the aftermath of a depression.
