People Against Navy
Rule Of Virgin Islands
VIRGIN ISLANDS WILL SUFFER
UNDER NAVY CONTROL,
N.A.A.c.P. SAYS.

New York, Mar. 24.--If the Virgin
Islands are returned to the control
of the U. s. navy. the territory will
suffer from lack of a progressive civil
program and approximately 40 per
cent of the Jobs now held by Virgin
islanders will be lost to the navy, ac-
cording to the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, which is opposing the proposed
transfer from the supervision of the
Department of the Interior to the
navy.
Navy Had islands for II Years.
The association points out that the
navy had control of the islands for
fourteen years and at the end of that
time a civil government had to be
set UP and q whole rehabilitation pro-
gram instituted. It is contended that
the navy men may be efficient on the
decks of ships, but know nothing of
agriculture, small industry and edu-
cational and sociological problems. 1t
is pointed out that the navy rotates
its mon there every two years and
sometimes oftener and that this pre-
vents the navy men from taking a
real interest in the development of
the islands.
Civil Government Self Sufficient.
Under the administration OF Cover
nor Paul NJ Pearson since 1881 a re-
habilitation program has been insti-
tuted with the idea Of developing
self-snffciency in the islands. This
includes among other things, the es-
Enlistment of vocational and agri-
cultural school, the reconstruction of
certain public works, repair of pub
lie buildings, demonstrating and re-
pair of roads, also encouragement of
tourist trade.
Foundation Help Held Up.
The Russell Sage foundation, the
Carnegie corporation and several
other groups have programs for adult
education, health and social welfare
ready to launch, but they are holding
them up until 1t is decided whether
the civil government is to continue
or the navy given charge. DR.. Fred
erick Keppel, president of the Carne-
gle corporation has spent some time
in the islands and DIR. James H. Dr.
lard is there now.
The American Civil Liberties Union
has joined the N.A.A.C.P. in urging
that the islands remain under con-
troll of the department of the interior
and not be returned to the navy. Pre-
sident Roosevelt is understood to be
in favor of returning the islands to
the navy. All persons interested are
urged to write the President urging
the islands be kept under civil gov

CHILD BRIDE FREED
FROM MARITAL TIES
Girl, II, Who Was Party in
Daughter Swap" Begins
First Grade Schooling.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, November IA
Dorothy Holsel, who is IL years old, goes
back to her f1rst-grade school books
today, freed Of the ties that made her
the wife OF man six times her age.
This marriage was so low down I
hate to think about it," commented
District Judge r. p. Hill, who annulled
the union here yesterday after Dorothy,
nervously hugging new muff, indicated
with a vigorous shake of her head it
was not of her choosing.
She was taken last Summer from her
tenant farmer husband, T. j. Holsel,
81, when reports of daughter swap"
by Holsel and J. T. Taylor, Dorothy's
father, were investigated by Mrs Mabel
BaSsett, States commissioner Of chari-
ties and corrections
Taylor died last August, shortly after
the double ceremony at Tulsa in which
he was wed to the 15-year- Holsel
girl and Holsel married Dorothy.
Mrs. Bassett, who seeks a permanent
home for Dorothy, said the child was
making unusual progress in her first
grade studies, attending school under
another name. She now is staying at
children's home here.
Investigators have been unable to find
legal grounds for prosecution in the
case.
