RandIe Citizens Offer Aid
In Solving Police Problems

Members of the Randle High
lands Citizens Association may
have surprised a visiting No. II
Precinct police officer last night
by asking him what they could do
to help the police solve area prob
lens.
The problem of providing pro-
lection for school children at
dangerous street-croSSingS was
under discussion.
Members agreed with police 1t.

that the objection raised by the
three opposing groups is out of

their opposition is petty

Mr.. Weber and Mr.. Cross ex-

The association voted to re-
quest a police breakdown on out

than 80 days without getting
license tags. Mr.. Cross said he
knew of one man who has re-
tanned Virginia registration de-

The group also asked the District

lowering such levies.

undoubtedly be held here in the
islands later this year. We should
not let such disturbing or vexing
questions as to who might lose Of
ice IN the executive or legislative
branches of the government bv a
new organic act color our thinking
or confuse our facts. We must deal
with principles, not with PERSONAL
ties. We should bear in mind that
the fewer problems we indicate.
the fewer differences we present
the better will be the opportunity
to convince members of CONGRESS-
OF what our real needs are and
Just what are our true aspirations
Let us begin then with the
promise that the people of the Vir
gin Islands, under the Organic
Act Of 1886, have enjoyed and are
still enjoying a good measure of
autonomy. With the exception of
the right to elect our own cover
nor and to vote in national cleo
tons, our people have all the
benefits and the privileges of
American citizens. We have a Bill
of Rights roughly equivalent to
that of the federal constitution, in
Guiding freedom of speech, free
dom of the press, and freedom Of
worship. We have universal fran
chlse through which our own le-
glslatures, with very broad legis-
latlVe powers, are elected. A
generous National Government
has helped us provide a reason
able degree of freedom from want.
What, then, shall we seek in our
new organic act? In answering
this question, it is important to
observe that what WE seek is not
the ultimate answer. The new or
ganic act will undoubtedly be a
composite of the things we seek
in order to grant us greater auto
nomy and the things which the
national government will require
in order to make us more self
supporting, more economical of
operation, and more responsible
and effective in our relationships
with the United States. There are
a great many details which 60 in
to the preparation of a new or
ganic act which need not concern
us here. These are the details of
craftsmanship which must be left
to legal technicians. We need con-
Germ ourselves only with a few
basic considerations. After these
shall have been determined, the
reSC is easy. | should now like to

ernor. It is difficult, also, for the
reason that my motives NAV be
SO easily impugned. Nevertheless.
these times call for honest and
courageous leadership and for ex-
preSslonS of honest convictions, 7
shall, therefore, not hesitate to
state my opinion. I am in favor of
the ultimate objective of an cleo
tive Governor. An elective Cover
nor is the highest political benefit
which the people of these islands
may ever hope or expect to
achieve. Certainly we cannot hope
Tor statehood or commonwealth
status. When Puerto Rico was
granted the right to elect it's WI
governor, nearly fifty years after
It's annexation by the United
States, the party system had been
well established. Here in the Vir-
gin Islands, thirty-three years af-
ter the purchase of the islands bv
the United States, only fourteen
years after universal suffrage was
extended here, we have not vet
developed the party system of GOV
eminent. In St. Croix last wear
thirty candidates ran independent
~ for nine seats in the Council In
a situation such as this an elected
governor under present conditions
might well not have any party re-
presentation IN the legislature, re-
sultlng in a stalemate in
ment. I'M strongly of the opinion
That, before we elect our governor.
we need first to develop the party
system fully. We need to be more
nearly self-supporting. We need to
shoulder greater responsibilities in
government. In my opinion, our
new organic act should provide for
an elective governor in a few
years when WI shall have develop
ed more political maturity and
better craftsmanship, which we
shall need to carry out our res
possibilities under a more liberal
constitution.
Second, there is the question of
a single legislature or of three le-
glslatures, how they shall be
elected, and how its members
shall be compensated. Here, too,
| face a difficult issue because it
is so closely connected with in
cumbents who may question my
sincerity of purpose. Yet I must
state my opinion candidly. | am
in favor of a single legislature,
meeting for a stated period each
year, and compensated on a per
diem basis while in session. I am

ID S
OF Governor Morris F. de Castro
of the Virgin Islands over Radio
Station VISTA. Tuesday.
March 27, 1851. $50 pm.
Fellow citizens of the Virgin
Islands:
Tonight l am going to discuss
the proposed Organic Act for the
Virgin Islands, as introduced in
the House of Representatives by
Congressman Murdoch on Febru-
airy 18th this year, and give you
my views, simply and clearly, on
the essential provisions which l
believe should be given considera-
ton IN any change which may be
made in our basic law In accord
ance with my determination to
declare my position on any pub
lie question, / shall face the issues
here squarely and factually. I sin
cerely hope that those who may
not agree with me will recognize
that it is my right and duty to
state my views, however contro-
versial they may be.
Let me preface my remarks by
saying that the Congress of the
United States will decide finally
what form Of constitution will be
provided for the people of the
Virgin Islands. This is so because
Congress has the supreme right of
legislation and of government for
the insular possessions of the
United States. This is SO, also, be-
cause whatever form of GOVERN
ment we get will directly affect
the relationships between these is
lands and their sovereign, the
United States of America. Mem
bers of Congress will listen res
pectfully to the proposals which
will be submitted by our Legisla-
tive Assembly, by the Governor,
and by various citizens of the is
lands but, in the final analysis, the
decision will be theirs, not ours.
We shall hope that the final de-
cision of Congress will embody
our desires and our aspirations.
1t is necessary, therefore, that
the people of the islands should
think these problems through
calmly, carefully, and deliberate
ly. We should make every effort
to present a united front at the
Congressional hearings which will
, 1951-03-30

compare these basic points con
tanned in the proposed organic act
now before Congress with our
present organic act, analyze them.
and give you my own views upon
each of them.
Here they are: The Murdoch
bill proposed |. an elected Cover
nor in 1858. We have an appoint
ed Governor now. 2. a single legis-
lature in 1851. We have three le-
g%islatures now. Legislative SEES
sions of sixty days in each year
with compensation to be paid dur
ing sessions only. We have con-
tinous sessions with annual sala-
ries for our legislators now.
Election of members of the sin.
gle legislature from each island
constituting a district with five
members at-large from all islands
We have now specified numbers
of members from town and coun.
try districts and specified mem
bers-at-large in each Municipality
3. abolation of the Presidents
prerogative to act upon local le-
gislation after it has been passed
over the Governors veto. At the
present time, the President de-
cides when a bill is passed over
the Governors veto and the Gov
ernor still refuses to approve it.
4. confirmation of department
heads only by the legislature. Al
present the Councils have to con-
firm all appointees.
5. return Of the internal revenue
taxes and no more federal appro-
p~riations. We now receive annual
appropriations but not the inter
nal revenue taxes.
6. a single treasury. We have
two separate treasures now, and
finally
Z. a resident commissioner in
1858. We have none now.
These seven principles require
serious consideration so that our
people may be made fully aware
of their many complications and
ramifications, w it hout which
aWareness we cannot intelligently
make up our minds. Let me now
discuss each Of these issues.
First and foremost, there is the
question of an elective or an ap-
pointive Governor. I realize that
this is perhaps the issue which is
the most difficult for me to discuss
because l am an appointed Gov

Secrets of Charm
Secrets of Charm
Key Couture to Bell Silhouette
By John Robert Powers

A summer-cropped head can
not complement the great-lady
mood of this seasons clothes. And
a droopy bob or out-sized bun
will destroy the balance of the
new bell silhouette. To get the
lift and the look of new fall styles,
bring your hair style up to date.
If you do not wish to change your
arrangement, at least give it some
new twist.
StyliSts agree that this seasons
lines call for hair that is 4 inches
long in the back and dressed close
to the head all around. Here are
two of the slickest new styles IA
vored by the Powers Girls:
No. l. The hair is smooth or
flat-Waved on the crown and
brushed almost straight back from
the forehead and temples to fin
ish in tendrils of curls behind the
ears and deep on the nape Of the
neck. Highly recommended if you
wish your face to appear shorter
or fuller
No. 2. The hair is coaxed,
through brush-curls or a horizon
tai wave into an upward move
ment across the forehead, pulled
upward smoothly at the temples
and swept to the rear to curl into
two smooth clusters that fall
toward each other from just below
the crown to the nape Fine for
lengthening and slimming the
face!
If you are still chignon-happy,
you will be happier still with the
new ways that have been designed
for dressing long hair (true or
false). In the daytime. roll i'll
into a tight French twist and in
the evening, coil it smack-dab on
the center of your crown.
Liking fullness around your face
and needing it, get the crown of
your head as smooth as satin, the
back in a head-hugging under
curl, and the sides in brushed
out curls over and close to the
ears.
This last is a modification of
the bouffant hair-do that has been
creeping into the trend. And it's
tricky. When it's too full and

$4,000. She doesn't wear any of

get so much hard on-stage wear
This holds true of most screen and

Jean Louis, designer for Colum-
bia Pictures, has built the entire
wardrobe around the full-skirted
theme. Daytime costumes, cock
tail ensembles, and two short eve
ming dresses stress the new silhou-
ette. Miss Rogers indorses the
'full-blown look. we think. partly
because she enjoys dancing in full
skirts. Magnificent California
colors are seen ranging from a
nasturtium sheer wool suit. a
carnation pink faille coat-dress
an American beauty taffeta gown
and a white taffeta greatcoat lined
with American beauty taffeta.

Small Town Pastor Discovers
COMPLEXITIES in Government

lican, met Senators Douglas,
Democrat, and Dirksen, Repub-
lican, both of Illinois: listened to
debate in the Senate and toured
the Capital.
The size of the Government and
the conflict of pressures on the
Capitol, tended OF convince him
that no one should come here and
tell people how to run it.
He never had any intention of
doing so. All he endeavored to do
was his duty as a minister and a
citizen. He received a circular
letter from the Champaign
Urbana Junior Chamber of Com
merce, suggesting that he ask his
parishioners to participate in
their Dear Congressman" letter
contest on the Hoover report.
He said to himself: This is a
good thing. but how can I tell my
parishioners to do this unless I do
it myself?"
So he wrote a letter. too. It
won the Statewide prize. a 500
Government Savings Bond and a
two-day all-expense trip to Wash
ington.
