EXECUTIVE ELIMINATED

LIN En- Il IA
The House appropriations com
mittee eliminated the item for an
executive assistant to the governor
because the position had been va
can't for several months and pre-
sumably was not needed.
Governor HASTE told the Senate
appropriations committee that
Governor Harwood was not in good
health and found it necessary to
be absent from the islands for the
greater part of this year. Under
the circumstances" HASTE said, 81
assume it was not feasible for him
to fill the vacancy"
HASTE also assumed that as a
courtesy to him Governor HARDWOOD
had refrained from filling the po-
sition while his nomination was
pending
One consequence of the failure
to fill the position, HASTE said, was
the near collapse of the govern
ment secretary, who, as acting
governor, has been carrying on for
the last six or eight months
HASTE paid his tribute as "a
most able, conscientious public
servant" and added that he was
shocked to find how he had de-
Perforated physically under the
burden of carrying the job with
out the necessary administrative
assistants. :"
HASTE also told the Senate ap-
preparations committee that he had
found no indication that the JUS
tice Department was in position
or desired to do the work that
would be performed by the legal
counsel for the governor
In addition to begin called upon
the governor for legal opinions, the
legal counsel, HASTE said, the
heads of the various departments
utilize his legal services.
OVERSIGHT NOTED
Hastie also told the committee
that the House had accepted the
recommendation of the Interior
Department to eliminate the COM
missioner of finance, but did not
accept the recommendation to Gre
ate another office in its stead. He
said this was an oversight.
The House appropriations CON-
mittee disallowed the item of
$142. 400 for defraying the deficit
in the municipal government of
st. Croix and pointed out that
that municipality had invested
$60,350 in War Savings bonds, and

When it comes to crimes of vio-

Methods Against
Occupied Sites

CHICAGO - CAMP -Southside
terror flared here again last week
as two attacks were made by white
mobsters against homes of Ne
groes located just outside the
black ghetto.
Resentment, rising high against
Negroes who move into what the
whites consider their sections sole
ly, goaded one mob into storming
the home of DR.. Eugene Cooper.
and another group of hoodlums
toward a second destructive at
tempt on the home of Mrs. Grace
Hardy. Both home owners live
Just a few blocks from the recog-
nized Negro section.
With Klan-like methods, a group
attempted to set fire to Mrs.
Hardy's residence, tossing flam-
ing, oil-drenched rags onto the rear
porch of her home about midnight.
During the same week, another
white mob besieged DR.. Cooper's
residence, breaking windows and
loosening bricks of the front wall.
ATTACKS SECOND TIME
Demanding that DR.. Cooper va
cate his residence, which he had
occupied since June II, the mob
attacked the property a second
time while it was under police
surveillance" This time, the ga
rage was ignited. Mrs. Hardy's
home, also supposedly guarded
by police, has been the target of
two bombs.
Stoning of DR.. Cooper's home
followed mass meeting at COM
munity church where his neigh
bors formally protested residence
of a Negro family in sectional,
restrictive covenant area. The
pastor, the Rev. Samuel L. john
son, attempted to dissuade the
group from keeping their threats.
However, the mob which gath
cred at Cooper's home was not
dispersed until 20 squad cars of
policemen were sent to the scene.
No arrests were made in spite of
the evident damage to the Cooper
residence.
An investigation of the outrage
is being sought by southside civic
leaders and organizations includ-
ing the Chicago branch NAACP,
the Chicago Industrial Union Coun-
ell, CLIO, and the Council Against
Racial and Religious Discrimina-
ton.
