When Hannegan was promoted from commissioner of Internal Revenue to national chairman, he appointed as his successor Joseph Nunan, who had been collector in New York Nunan, in turn, retired Hugh McQuillen, fortnight chief of the New York intelligence unit, replacing him with Dan Bolich. In his key spot Bolich had the power of tax life or death over big-shot gamblers, big business, or anyone else in New York.

these mailings one of two things would be to happen
 Either the increased revenue would put the postoffice department a paying basis the indi- vidal agencies would be forced to curtan their mai ings, thus reducing the volume of mail handled at the taxpayers expense. Either would be beneficial to the people and would lend credence to the loud and empty promises of government economy we have so long been hearing from the Washington tax goblsers.
 Most vicious aspect of the postcard rate hike is the ten per extra charge quantity purchases This serves only to penalize the small businessman who direct mailing pieces in an effort to stimu- late his trade. And here, again, the little fellow is caught in the bight of the line. The increased rate eliminates the value of the postal card a low cost business getter and the small merchant is deprived of this means of helping to meet ais ever increasing tax bill.
 We seriously doubt that this outrageous increase -1O0% to 11095-wl reflect itself in improved postal service or in pay increases for low-salaried postal employees.
 And we wonder what would happen if the small businessman attempted to increase his prices by 00% to meet advanced operating expenses? One-way OPS regulations would surely bring him up short.
 At any rate, the two-center is with to stay. And the old penny postcard is on it's way toward becoming a collectors item. It shouldn't be too many years before penny postcards scarce honest politicians.

RADIO ADDRESS
by the
Hon.. Omur Brown
st. Thomas Municipal Council
Continued from yesterday

Let me say this to you my
listeners. The fifteen thousand
Virgin Islands residing on the
mainland, most of whom live in
that part of New York City known
as Harlem, which happens to be a
Dutch name by the way, these
Virgin Islanders are in New York
City earning a livelihood not be
cause of choice, but because we
cannot furnish them with employ
ment here. That is the only rea-
son why most of the people leave
here to go to New York They go
because they want to work hon
estly ITO earn a living and to live
decently. But let me tell you this
also. Some of the finest people you
ever met reside in Harlem and l
am sure if the editor of the Daily
News ever left here to 60 to New
York he would be content to share
the comfort and enjoy the hospi-
tally of a friends apartment in
Harlem. That is not all. Our peo-
pie who have left here over the
years and who now reside in New
York City have their next of kin
living in the islands, not to men
ton their nearest and dearest
friends. What is more they too
look forward to the day when
they can return to their homeland,
I have yet to talk to a Virgin Is
lander who does not dream and
pray for the day when he or she
a come back home.
Do you mean to tell me that
they have no right to know what
kind of changes we are planning
to make in our Organic Act which
they and their children and their
children's children must live and
be governed. Does the editor of
the Daily News have no feeling Of
kinship for his own? No wonder
when I thought he was friendly
toward me he was cutting right
and left. So much for that.
The Organic Act Committee,
comprising of the Honorables
Walter I. M. Hodge, Herbert H.
Fevwood, Cvprian A. Caroline,
Earle B. Ottley and myself, to-
, 1951-09-11

gether with its secretary Alphon-
SO S. Holder, left here on July 19
and arrived at Idlewild Airport,
Long Island, at 6:45 PM. We were
met there by James A. Bough,
IConvenor of the conference and
Mr.. Justin Marsan, who represent
ed the Virgin Islands Professional
League IN the conference commit
tee. We were told by Mr.. Bough
that they had arranged to meet
with us on Monday night, July 90,
in the auditorium of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters of
America. Right here l believe it
is appropriate to publicly express
my personal appreciation for the
wonderful spirit Of cooperation
shown by Mr.. Ashley L. Totten,
President of the American Virgin
Islands Civic Association. He was
of invaluable assistance and the
committee and the people of the
Virgin Islands owe Mr.. Totten a
vote of thanks.
1t was not Mr.. Totten's sugges-
ton that the conference be held
IN the auditorium of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters. He
told Mr.. Bough when they had
decided that the conference was
necessary, that he Totten would
leave it up to the conference COM
Imittee members to select a place,
"a neutral place since it might be
thought that he was trying to do
inmate the whole affair. The
other leaders agreed that this was
the best place to meet since it Of
.fered the most convenient ac-
Communications.
The conference committee-re-
preventative of nine Virgin Islands
Organizations in and around New
York City, and the members of
the Organic Act Committee met
and discussed the Legislative As
sembly's draft and considered
nine proposals offered by the con-
ference committee, some Of these
proposals were to substitute for
provisions in the Act as written
and passed by the Assembly. Their
proposals which were accepted by
after long discussions were so ac-
copied with the understanding
that only after our proposals have
failed to receive Congressional
support, will we be able to sup
port their substitute proposals.
This brings me to a very inter
esting episode in this whole affair
, 1951-09-11

and one which has been kicked
around here. by the editor of the
Daily News for the purpose of
selling more of his papers, l sus-
pect. But l wish to call the atten-
ton of the Editor to another paper
that took a delight in knocking
everybody. For a while it pros
pered yes, but alas! 1t has now
gone with the wind.
1t is the proper thing in public
life, to call in the press when mat
tiers of vital Importance are under
consideration. The committee
therefore authorized Mr.. Totten
to invite the press to a conference
SO that publicity could be given to
our effort for obtaining a greater
degree of self-government and
economic Improvement for the
of the Virgin Islands
through the passage of the Organ
ic Act which contains the provi-
sion for the return of the internal
revenue taxes collected on rum
shipped to the United States.
We met the press on Friday,
July 27, in the office Of Mr.. A
Phillip Randolph, President of the
Brotherhood. This place was again
chosen because it was the cost con
venient and accommodating. AS
faith would have it only two re-
porters representing the New
York Times and the Amsterdam
News showed up. The New York
Times was represented by a man
named Roth, and the Amsterdam
News by Carl Lawrence. At this
press conference a formal release
was issued which outlined the
basic proposals embodied in the
new Act. The reporters asked ques
tions pertaining to these points
and all of the members of the Or
ganic Act Committee took part in
answering those questions from
time to time. Present at this con-
ference were: Earle B.. Ottley of
st. Thomas, Walter l. M. Hodge,
Cyprian Caroline and Herbert Hey
wood of St. Croix, and Alphonso
Holder, Secretary to the Commit
tee. Also present were Mr.. Ashley
L. Totten, Mr. James A. Bough,
Mr.. Charles Reubel and Olivia
Simpson, all Virgin Islanders.
