decision of 'the Municipality
of st. Thomas and ST. John &
that of st. Croix to send Roy
Gordon to Washington for a
ten day stay, as it understood,
was so that he could attempt
to persuade the Republican
members of the House Com
mittee on Rules to vote in ia
vor of H. R. 1888 when it
comes up before the commit
tee for a vote on whether it
should be granted a rule. On
this committee there are four
Republicans, namely, Messrs.
Allen, Brown, Herter, & Wads
worth. 1t should be noted that
of the twelve members on the
committee four are southern
Democrats. Therefore without
the vote of the Republican
members on the committee
granting of a rule to H. r. 1888
would be very difficult, if not
impossible. With the exception
of Congressman Brown, Cor
don was able to secure commit
ments from three of the four
Republicans that they will,
vote for the measure when it
up. By any other than
a bias standard, this is very
commendable work.
But he was not content with
having accomplished w h a t
some more easily satisfied in
dividual might have termed a
job well done, nor did he start
blowing his horn. Instead, he
spent numberless hours and
days comforting lengthily with

nevertheless, 1t seem to be
the civic obligation of every
Virgin Islander, in so far as
possible, to afford the people
of the Islands every opportun-
ity to view all sides of any
question. 1t is with this
thought in mind that this arti-
Gle, the contents of which the
writer knows to be true and
for which he can vouch, de-
signed to give the other side
of this issue, is being written.
AS Executive Secretary of
the Virgin Islands Youth
Council, the organization
which during the past months
has been exerting all its ener-
gies to secure passage Of H. R.
1888, a bill to provide for a Re-
ident Commission from the
Virgin Islands, and for other
purposes, I have been follow
ing very closely this proposed
legislation. Further, during
Roy Gordon's stay in Wash
ington, it was my responsible
ity to work with him for and
in behalf of the Youth Coun-
Gil with a view of consolidate
ing our forces in a concerted
effort to urge the House Com
mittee on Rules to act speed
lily and favorably in H. R. 1888.
Consequently, we spent a con-
siderable amount Of time to-
gether each day. AS a matter
of fact, he came very close to

tional days were spent work

he has not sought to apply for
additional compensation but
has borne said expenses him
self.
In the light of these facts, it
seems crystal clear that the re-
lease in question is nothing
but a ruthless and unfounded
personal attack designed to dis
credit Roy Gordon. Further,
the question arises as to whe-
Their this malicious and vicious
attack stems from the ".Main-
land natives represented in the
American Virgin Islands Civic
Association" or from some sell
fish & irresponsible person.
1t is not now known who the
informant of the American Vir
gin Islands Civic Association
in Washington is, if there be
any. One thing is known, how
ever, he is anything but reli-
able. Therefore, the mainland
natives who, according to the
release as printed, told Totten
to refrain from enlisting the
aid of powerful civic and other la
Dor units" should instead have
told him to save the American
Virgin Islands Civic Organi-
cation and its members the
shame and disgrace of doing
such a disservice to the people
of the Virgin Islands-Whom
everyone loves and in whose
interest everyone is supposed
ly working-which the release
tends by its very nature to per
petrate.

No sooner had Mr.. Schmidt
started to read his 15-page state
ment than Representative McCor-
mack. House majority leader,
asked when the committee of
which Mr.. Schmidt is secretary
had had meeting to consider the
reorganization plan.
Mr.. Schmidt explained with a
smile there had been no meeting,
that he was following the line of a
long established policy of the
chamber. Mr.. Mccormick re-
marked that, if there had been no
committee meeting, it did not
seem to him to be a very demo-
cratic way of operating.
Mr.. Hoffman interrupted to ask
Mr.. Schmidt. do you know that
the leader of the majority party
frequently makes policy state
ments without consulting its men,
bers?"
Mr.. Schmidt smiled and said,
Very undemocratic." He went on
with his testimony: interrupted
frequently by Democratic men,
bers who questioned his state
ments and the attitude Of the
Chamber Of Commerce.
Mr.. Hoffman finally announced
he was getting "a little tired Of

FuN-Length Symphony Concert
TeIevised for First Time Here

"Smitty, stand by to follow him
over to the podium," instructed Mr..
Weld. And the music began.
From there on it was 55 minutes
of rapid-flre instructions, with the
four r-man truck crew. aided by Field
Supervisor Don Silvert, Chief En-
gineer Frank Harvey and Program
Manager Fred Shawn, working as a
team with the operators inside to
send varied closeups and long
shots of Mr.. Mitchell and his play
ers to Washington's $4,000 television
set owners.
The Districts first full-length
symphonic telecast was no pushover.
Slow to warm up, the substitute
picture tube forced Director Weld
to discard his painstaking script for
part of the first number and resort
to improvising. Installation of the
100000 worth of portable equipment
had taken WMAL-TV crew half a
day. And before the broadcast was
long underway, Station Manager
Kenneth Berkeley telephoned about
one lens shot: Stay off that wide
angle!"
But there were moments of tri-
umph; too-such as the climactic
cymbal clashes of Tschaikovsky's S

the dramatic gestures Of Conductor
Mitchell as he presided in full-dress
