Clergy Joins Dewey
In Praise Of Plan for
Public School Prayer
BY the Associoted Press

ALBANY. N. Y, Dec. Clergy
men throughout New York State
haye joined Gov. Thomas E
Dewey in commencing Board of
Regents proposal that public
schools open the day with a
prayer, as we'll as a pledge of al
legiance to the flag.
But Joseph Lewis, president of
the Freethinkers of America,
threatens legal action ito prevent
the contamination of the public
schools" by the proposal.
The Freethinkers claim the pro-
posal is unconstitutional and an
effort to scuttle the principle of
separation of church and state.
And one clergyman-Rabbi Jo-
seph L. Fink of Buffalo-says
the day should always begin
with a prayer. but it should be re-
cited at home, not in school,"
Recommend Prayer.
The regents recommended this
prayer in an unprecedented state
ment yesterday:
Almighty God, we acknowledge
our dependence upon Thee, and
we beg Thy blessings upon us. our
parents, our teachers and our
country"
The statement called for school
programs stressing "the moral
and spiritual heritage which is
Americas"
Gov. Dewey pledged whole
hearted support"
Spokesman of the State Educa-
tion Department said 'it does not
mandate schools to open their dav
with prayer. But if local Boards
OF Education . decide to do so,
they have the regents approval
in advance"
Religious Teaching Banned.
Federal and State constitutions
ban religious teaching in public
schools.
The Most Rev. William A.
Scully, head of the State Catholic
Welfare Committee, lauded the
proposal. The Rev. William l..
lines of Syracuse, speaking for the
State Council of Churches. and
the Right Rev Lauriston L. Scaif-
fe. Episcopal Bishop of Western
New York, said Il would certainly
lndorse it with enthusiasm.
Mrs. Vashti McCollum of Cham
paign. Ill. who led a celebrated
court fight against religious
classes in Illinois. said in Boston:
"As far as I'm concerned the re-
gents proposal is unconstitu-
tional."
She started the court action
that resulted in the high court s.
holding that the Illinois classes
were unconstitutional.

INTEGRITY.
A friend Of mine was for many

difficult depression days his insti-
tuition fell upon hard times. his
friends forsook him. and he was
finally forced into bankruptcy.
Patiently and wisely he began
again to retrieve his resources and
to repay his patrons. He so ar
ranged his affairs that even after
his death his estate restored all
further obligations. A man like
that has integrity in the sight of

Mr.. Henderson Says

Last night in the band-stand at
Christiansted the HelIs Gate Steel
Band of Antigua played to an es-
timated $500 persons who were
thrilled by the magnificent arts
try Of this musical ensemble.
That these men are artists was
ably demonstrated last night. The
technique, skill and feeling with
which they performed; the deli
cate standings in tone, color and
quality, the purity of tone which
they produced on these crude in
struments are fit for comparison
with any world renowned concert
orchestra or band.
The program varied from
Swing, Calypsoes, Hill-Billy, and
other popular forms of dance
music, to the classic of the concert
stage, and the stately solemn and
beautiful music of the church.
There were some minor techni-
cal faults in pitch in certain
phrases of one or two numbers,
but these were more than compen
stated for by the excellence of
what was for St. Croix a night of
a magnificent display of skill at
tanned through talent, courage
and unfailing determination for

Dear Mr.. Brodhurst:

Kindly permit me space in your
most valuable paper to express
my thanks and gratefulness to
you and Mrs. Brodhurst for the
wonderfully fine sporting spirit
and also the sincere act of good
Fellowship and Brotherhood that
was shown towards myself and
my men during our short stay in
your Island. / also wish to thank
MI. & Mrs. Nicasio Nico for the
wonderful part which they played
IN accommodating us. l can assure
each and every one here in Saint
Crolx that though Jul stay here
have been a very short one we
have enjoyed ourselves immense
~ | cannot say that I am sur
prlsed in any way because from
the very first time l met these
people and spoke with them I
could see they were clean cut,
honest, decent people. 1 do not
claim to be a psychologist but 1
know decent people when l meet
them.
Now wish to thank the general
public for their support though
our stay here have not been a
financial success. I have learnt a
great lot. One of the things l have
learnt is how different people can
be. In every walk of life you are
sure to find someone who are will
ing to stick their necks out just as
the BrodhurSts have done without
the hope of financial gain. The
Nlcos have also done their part in
making is feel at home and I
must assure everyone here in st.
Croix of my appreciation.
I have had one strange expert
ence and that is to know we made
more money at the Jungle which
is a much smaller place and at
smaller prices than we did at the
Tropicana. My opinion on that is
that we were just hired to play
there. Anyway, I believe that
those who helped us down there
did SO in good faith & l must say
again that we spent a very good
time & | promise that when I go
to Antigua / will take home the
great news of the wonderful way
which you have treated us.
Sincerely yours,
GEORGE JOSEPH

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

HROUG THE many rugged political years that have
passed, the editor Of this paper has been charged with many
unworthy actions but now since the Truman-MacArthu
affair, there is a new one-he has been accused of SANDER
m%ongering as stated in Member-atLarge Rohlsen's recent
letter which appeared in this paper August 20. What is most
amazing is how one person could get so many wires crossed
and create SO much about very little or nothing, for that
matter.
WE DO NOT intend to build up Mr.. Rohlsen by keep
ing him in the public eye on SO trivial an issue since we feel, as
Shakespeare probably would, it is Much Ado About
Nothing However, if he has prepared this as meat" for his
scheduled speeches, then by all means it is his democratic
right to air his grievance in public whether pertinent or i'm
pertinent to political issues.
OUR READERS know that we have never thrown the
weight Of this paper against the Honorable Henry Rohlsen,
even when he opposed our old political warhorse and friend,
the late Ludwig E. Harigan. We have never declared any
expression of doubt as to Mr.. Rohlsens ability to be a good
councilman but it was our conviction that he could have won
a seat in a district and thereby add to the efforts already being
made by our candidate, at the time, the late Ludwig Harrigan.
WHENEVER WE find the Councilman in question fail
ing to carry out the wishes of the people or to exert his efforts
in their interest we shall make our convictions known in the
columns of this paper and surely it is stronger stuff than this
So-cdneu Slanuer1nongermg (WnateVer that Isl, OF which the
editor has been accused.
IF COUNCILMAN Rohlsen is failing in popularity that
SO many of his staunch political supporters and friends" have
become cold, Indifferent and unfriendly," he had better seek
further for the cause, for we doubt the mere rumor that he
was interested in obtaining a post for which he is, by training
and experience, admirably fitted, would be the cause.
WE ARE SURE there are many political issues at hand,
on which we would appreciate publishing the councimans
views instead of a voluminous letter to prevent Islander
against himself,

9TH Marine Regiments Chief
Tells of Hurried Organization
Col. Litzenberg Says
II Saw Korean Action
Only z Months Later

The 7th Marine Regiment,
which fought its way from the
Changjin reservoir in Korea to the
sea last fall In the face of the
Chinese Communists. was hur-
riedly thrown together outfit, its
commander said yesterday.
Col. Homer L. Litzenberg, jr., of
2l38 California street NV, told
reporters at the Pentagon how he
organized the outfit last August
and had it in action in Korea less
than two months later. He left
command of the regiment April l6
and has been assigned to Fleet
Marine Force headquarters at
Norfolk. Va.
He said he took 1900 officers
and men out of the I'd Division,
received 1900 screened reserves
and nearly 1000 regulars combed
from Camp Pendleton. Calf, and
sailed for the Far East Septern-
ber /.
There the regiment was joined
by battalion from the Mediter-
ranean and went into action at
Inchon September 81, six days
after the landing.
The colonel said every man had
some firing practice and there
had been a few company-butI
no regimental-fleld problems.
One of the miscellaneous units
received by the regiment was a.
54-man Negro service unit which
was integrated throughout the
command.
Never once did any color prob
lem bother us" he said. 1T just
wasn't any problem. We had one
Negro sergeant in command of an
all-white squad and there was
another with the graves registra-
ton unit who was one of the finest
Marines I've ever SEEN"
