The tieups became irritating In
the feature race, which involved
10 cars or four more than the semi
finals and six more than the quali-
flying heats Very much as with
dodgems, all movement came to a
standstill requiring the race to be
restarted on three occasions.
The feature was won by Ernie
Mccoy In 3:0211, followed by Ver-
non Land, Len Duncan and Walt
Gregory. Mccoy picked up 40 per
cent of the gate.
But these traffic congestions aren't

The roaring of the engines. the

all combined to give the show an

Dear Mr.. Mills:

the news which reached me
through Congressman Ramey
of this District, that the Ways
and Means Committee has
tabled Bill H. r. 1896 for re-
turn of the Internal Revenue
taxes to the Virgin Islands.
The reason which has been
given me for the failure of
the Ways & Means Committee
to act on this Bill, so vital to
these small islands, is even
more disturbing and indicates
to act on this Bill, so vital to
have been taken without full
knowledge of the situation. /,
therefore, am writing you
with the hope that I can per-
suade you to reconsider your
vote and bring this Bill out
with the approval of the Com
mittee for House endorsement.
As a substantial property
owner on the Island Of st.
Croix for the last IA years, /
have seen this Island persist

United States Government
has received approximately
$50,0O0,0 900 in internal revenue

Government of approximately
only half that amount.
These Islands have the fin

DiseracefuI Behavior

WELL the Legislative Assembly has come to an end, but
what an endl Now that the members of the body are back to
their respective homes, and they sit back to think of what took
place, they must feel as if they had been through a terrible
nightmare. This session of the Assembly had everything from
abusive language to near fistfights. Believing that rude, rough
ungentlemanly behavior makes heroes of men, certain mem
bers of the Assembly Oent the limit.
WE had predicted that this session would be successful.
that the preparations having gone well, pointed the way to a
full effective session in which much could be accomplished.
But we were wrong. Before the session got under way, things
got out OF hand. 1t would take too long to 90 into detail, and
even at that such a recounting would be most distastefuI, since
the facts are fully well known to all. What is unfortunate is
that things ran in rapid succession. Before we could blink an
~eye,those of us from this side of the sea were put through a
drama grueing and sickening in the stomach. Those who were
elected to lead and to handle the peoples business took time
out from the questions at hand to below insults across the hall.
Then the answers came back.
\ WE have engaged in a crusade for cooperation and un-
Outstanding between. our Legislators and our people. We have
the conviction that only through such cooperation can we ac-
complish the ends which we so deserve. But at every turn of the
road our people refuse to learn the lesson which history
through the ages has taught d vide and conquer has been the
motto OF dictatorS, yet we give no heed. During the last session
of the Assembly much hatred and bitterness were chrned up
The Daily News, the Photo News, members of the Assembly,
and many others were at each others threats. And even the
Avis merely because it refused to be dragged into the fray,
came in for a share of the insults which were always on the
tongues Of some legislators. No doubt we have reached the
place where the chief qualification Of a Councilman will be
his ability to yell unprintable language on the floor Of the legis-
lature.
