In a six-month "report to the people," West told a television au dlence he found an "undermanned and poorly equipped" police department wnd a "need for true economy" when he took office.

Average MIAMI REACH, -The per capita income in the southeast Is growing faster than the national average, because of increased Industrial expansion, the southeast shippers advisory board was told yesterday. Legh R. Powell president of the Seaboard Air Line railroad. Norfolk. said that In 1943 manufacturing accounted for "about one-sixth of all income in the region." "In 1949 agriculture contribut ed approximately one-eighth of the total Income In the southeast," he said.

Fundamental reasons for the Industrial growth, Powell said, were an abundance of natural resource, a wealth of raw ma terials, equable climate, "and not least, by any means, an ample supply of capable and intelligent labor freer than many sections from the taint of radicalism." A committee was formed last night to draw up a history of Davidson county tuberculosis hos pital to be used by city and county officials in determining which should construct water lines to the Bordeaux area. The committee was appointed at a meeting called by County Judge Briley to study methods of cor recting a lack of water pressure In the area, resulting In inade quate water pressure at David son county hospital and the tuberculosis hospital.

Puerto Rico Seen As Labor Reserve NEW YORK UP) The densely- populated Island of Puerto Rico may help provide the United States with a labor reserve for the de fense emergency, a Puerto Rican spokesman said yesterday.

Adrian P. Higga, director of the employment development authority, reported on progress of his division, created earlier this year. He spoke at a news conference. Out of Puerto Rico's permanent working force of 700,000 persons, he said, approximately 100,000 are regularly unemployed. Many of these, he said, could be used by mainland Industry, since they are American national.

Higgs emphasized, however, that worker would be recruited from the island, or from Puerto Rlcans now In the United State, only after clearance from the United State employment ervice. This, he said, was to insure against Puerto Rican worker be ing. transported to areas or regions where there already were worker available to fill vacant jobs. in addition, he said, a further clearance would be necessary from Puerto Rico commissioner of la bor. This would prevent workers being taken to cities where hous ing would be unavailable, or where discrimination would be practiced.
