FREAR BACKS
HOOVER PLANS
United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear, il. Endorses Hoover
Commission Proposals
ADDRESSES SIG MA NU

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear, Jr., Saturday night, March
10, endorsed the proposals of the
Hoover Commission for the reor-
ganization of the Executive Branch
of the government. Senator Frear
spoke at the Claypool Hotel to sew
eral hundred members of the Sig
ma Nu Fraternity in Indianapolis.
The occasion was the postwar re-
vival of the Fraternity's Hoosier
Rally, held annually before the
war. In discussing the Hoover
Commission recommendations, Mr..
Frear pointed out the need for
maintaining the government on
the highest possible level Of effici-
ency, and warned that the present
state of world affairs required that
the United States be in position
to expand promptly any phase of
its activities should the necessity
arise. Warning that an economic
depression which might disrupt
the Marshall Plan would undo
much of the good that has ben ac-
complished in Western Europe in
the past months, Mr.. Frear de-
clared it is incumbent upon the
United States to keep its domestic
house in order to prevent such an
+ occurrence. Said the Delaware
Senator, "We stand today in 6
world -clearly divided. Every actor
by the United States in the fielc
of domestic activity and in its dip.
lomatic moves is instantly reflect
ed in a dozen of the capitals
throughout the world. If we are tc
curb the further encroachment o1
communism in Europe, we must
maintain our influential position
which the people of Western Eu.
rope have come to expect" Sena'
tor Frear also said that we will
probably face concerted opposition
to the establishment of the pro.

BLACK NARCIS5US,' IN TECHNIC0lOR,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

One of the most effective uses Of Technicolor ever seen in motion picture was demonstrated yesterday at the Capital Theatre when Black Narcissus, starring Deborah Kerr, Sabu, David Farrar, Flora Robson and Dean Simmons, was shown. The J. Arthur Rank production is set high among the peake of the Him. alayas where the winds never stop blowing and where even the air seems to awaken slumbering dreams. Here to a palace, once a harem, come five Sisters of the Or der of St. Faiths, to open school and dispensary. The majestic beau- ty of the mountain fastness is a perfect subject for the magic ot the Technicolor camera which cap lures all the color of the awe-in- spring scene. The white habits ot the Protestant Nuns of the Angli- can Church stand out against the colorful murals and the vivid back ground of the palace.
 The Sisters are beset by difficult ties from the beginning. Their first obstacle is the apparent lack of de- sire upon the part of the local princes British agent to help them The constantly bowling wind is a further deterrent. When the agent enrolls a native girl in the school and the princes bejewelled son also becomes a student, their task is made even more difficult. One by one the Sisters crack up and even tually they are forced to abandon their enterprise.

Contractors Plans 10
Install UnsightIy Tank
On N'thside Highway

Unless someone in authority
steps in to stop it, the contrac-
tors now engaged in Install
ing a fresh water system will
place a large, unsightly tank
in a triangle on the main
Northside highway at Dolby
Hill, near Morning Star, one of
the most beautiful views in
the Island.
It is quite evident that To-
cal representatives of the peo-
pie are not consulted on such
matters because they would
unanimously reject any sug-
gestion of placing a large
water tank at that particular
area. In the absence of a zon-
ing law someone in authority
should take steps immediate
ly to halt the placing of a tank
at that spot, especially when
there are SO many other areas
nearby that apparently is more
suited for the purpose.
Complaints have come not
only from persons who have
recently invested thousands of
dollars to construct homes
nearby, but from citizens who
appreciate the natural scenic
beauties of their island.
