Webber Wilson from his post In the islands to the federal parole board here in Washing- ton. Each man has accepted his new appointment and In so far as S current controversy la concerned, the book Is dosed. It will be recalled that Governor Pearson and Jodge Wilson long have been at loggerheads over Virgin Island affairs. The battle was hitter. It came to a head when Pan! Yates, executive assistant to the governor and a former Washington correspondent, resigned hla Job and came back here with a bag faU of charges against his former chief. The Yates allegations ranged all the way from minor charges of poor Judgment to gross accusations. He succeeded In getting a senate committee Investigation and It was at that time that the Pearaon-Wllso- n feud flared so openly that administration officials here were dragged In and the whole scope of differences aired. As a matter of fad there la every reason to believe that Governor Pearson was far from a successful executive in the Islands. He frequently aroused th4 Ire of natives and, o accordlng-Ttestimony adduced by the senate Investigation had very little to show for the sums of money be expended In attempting to give tbe Virgin Islands a new lease on life. All of the Information tends to establish that the Islands continue to be "an effectual poorhoose" just aa President Hoover described them on the occasion of a visit daring his term as Chief Executive. But Governor Pearson had hla supporters In the administration. Chief among these waa Secretary Ickea whose department Is responsible for administration of the Islands. Just why Mr. Ickef has been so enthusiastic about Governor Jearson'e regime le not fully disclosed In any evidence here except that the Interior secretary has certain Ideas about social reform that some nnklnd critics refer to at pure socialism which Governor Pearson had been attempting to Impose upon the Island Inhabitants. Governor Pearson has expended vast sums of PWA funds lnthe Islands Jn hls effort to carry out the Ickea program of reformation. It seems, however, that the schemes were not as practical aa they might have been end so trouble started In- a rather extensive fashion. The President stayed outside of the row until In the course of the senate Inquiry Senator Tydlnga, a Maryland Democrat and usually an Democrat, received a letter from Mr. Ickea Mr. Ickea accused the investigating chairman with having whitewashed a witness s whose testimony was all and The senator flared up In a big way at that letter. His reply la likely to become a classic In official correspondence. He did not mince hie words. After voicing his general conception of the attitude exhibited by Mr. Ickea and accusing him of attempting to Interfere In the Investigation, Senator Tydlnga Informed tbe Interior secretary that he may aa well attempt to run the Department of the Interior end let the senators run He nsed Just about the senate. those words. lt antl-Icke- antl-Pearao- BOYS!
