Antoine Levelt and Major Paul
Magloire, said it planned to form
new cabinet Saturday and would
guarantee the -four freedoms" I"
The present Congress, which sup
ported Lescot, will be dissolved

Although tanks and machine

the area, performing a Haitian
voodoo dance and shouting down
with Lescot the tyrant."
Approximately 200 supporters of
the deposed president were re-

jails hundreds of political prisoners

Forty-four nations, including

Each of the nations was assign

in more than two weeks due to his
being confined to his home because
of illness.
The governor urged the establish
ment of Junior Colleges for Ne

ject of Education" saying in part,
1--WE are trying to sustain too many
high schools. The result is that
our ability as well as that of the
community, to discharge our obi
cation to the children of the state
is taxed beyond capacity. If rea-
enable school consolidation pro

it would be possible not only tc
pay teachers better salaries but tc

Grade school instead of moving
upstairs to a poorly equipped high

ing a much larger territory and
student body.
The people of the several school
district have taxed themselves to
the limit in the effort to provide
school facilities for their children
Without encouragement and help
Though they realize the wisdom
Of consolidation Of high school
efforts, it is seriously doubted If
very much can be accomplished
within a reasonable time. I respect
fully sumbit to your consideration
the appropriation of sum to be
used as directed by you in the. en-
couragement of the consolidation
Of high schools on basis of CO.
operation with the school district
or districts.
Any district desiring to con-
solidate would petition the State
Board of Education for grant
rom said fund; the state board of
3ducation could approve or disap-
prove the project as sound and
beneficial and thereupon the State
3uilding Commission in its direc-
ion could allocate funds for accom-
Fishing such consolidation.
Subject to the same formula of
istribution, I suggest that a por-
lion of said sum be devoted to the
construction Of reasonable num-
Der of junior colleges for the edu-
cation Of the Negro Youth of the
state"
Respecting better trained Negro
teachers the Governor said, ut
GEMS to me that one of our most
;erious problems and greatest re-
possibilities in education is pre-
sented by the need for better train
I'd teachers of our Negro schools

your serious and favorable, cOnsid-
grafton of this problem.
Pointing to the states vital pub
lie health needs the Governor
said," especially do we need to pro-
vide facilities for the hospitaliza-
ton of Negroes afflicted with tu-
berculosis. I sincerely urged that
funds be appropriated and provi-
.sions be made for the establish
ment Of these facilities as prompt
ly as possible. The need is great.
Calling for a Juvenile Delin-

MANILA, - (NNPA) - An Army
inquiry into disorders involving
colored and white troops at nearby
Quezon City on the night of Janu-
ary got underway last Wednesday
while eighty colored soldiers were
being held pending its outcome.
The incident was in no way con-
nected with the series Of soldier

Quartermaster Salvage Repair Co.,
when the colored soldier refused to
halt while allegedly fleeing from
a military depot guarded by the
latter.

When members of Crump'S COM
pany learned of his death. they al
legedly broke into the company's
supply room, secured arms and
ammunition, and then started to
look for the white guards. When
none was found, it was said, they
started indiscriminate firing until
quelled by the military police.
An estimated so to 100 men of
the 228th Quartermaster Salvage
Collection Company participated in
the affray. No one other than
Crump was killed or injured, ac-
cording to the latest reports.
Eighty of the alleged participants
have been confined, and peri

to prevent further disorders and to
pick up the remainder of the indi-
Viduals involved
