Bennett Cites
Positive Effects Of
"compunion" Story

L. Howard Bennett, speaking to
the Minneapolis branch of the
NAACP on October 81, on his inn
pressions of the state of human
relations in Minneapolis today,
said that the recent "Women's
Home Companion" article on Min
neapolis might have a two fold
effect.
The young attorney said that on
the positive side, communities
could be expected to react as in
dividuals due to complimentary
statements by patterning their
conduct so that it more nearly ap-
proximates that which is attribu-
ted to them. He said that people
have a tendency to act as they are
expected to act, and that often
the assumption that a person or
group will act democratically will
have the effect of making them
more apt to do so.
On the negative side, such a
rosy picture as the article painted
may tend to make the community
rest on its laurels and become
SNUG and complacent.
Still Discrimination
Mr.. Bennett, who was formerly
associated with the American
Council on Race Relations. said
that his own personal observa-
lions and experiences since re-
turning to Minneapolis, have
shown him that there is still dis
elimination and prejudice in many
aspects of community life.
The absence of Negroes on
many important policy-making
boards would seem to indicate
that some people are either ignor-
ant of the fact that there are
Negroes who are qualified to act
in these capacities, or else they
are loathe to appoint them in
spite of the capabilities.

AN OVERALL PLAN FOR POTABLE WATER

AN OVERALL PLAN FOR POTABLE WATER
H RECENT serious water shortage points clearly to
the dire need for a strong, comprehensive program designed
to meet this need. Two things are sure, and have been known
here throughout the years-that there are no streams large
enough to provide water, and secondly that the need will al
ways be present. With these in mind it would seem that more
complete plans would have been made long ere this.
ONE OF THE questions raised most forcibIy by Senat-
or Buffers Report was the unusually large sums of money
spent in these Islands, yet with little result, and with the fur
ther dangerous effect of creating a deterioration of the moral
fiber Of our people. 1t will be recalled that this paper differed
with the Senator and went to great lengths to explain that
difference. And not long after this report is made public, a
situation arises which points to one of the weak links in the
chain OF federal appropriations.
EVER SINCE the transfer some "a years ago considera-
ton OF the water situation has attracted attention. Funds have
been appropriated, surveys made and reports written up, yet
the situation is little better. AS we understand it, a reservoir
was built in the Recovery Hill area. What the costs were we
do not know, nor does it matter. What is common knowledge
is that this reservoir does not answer the needs of the com
munty. To Senator Butler the funds for this reservoir are add
ed to the overall financial picture of the Virgin Islands, re-
presenting money out of the pockets of the American tax pay
er. What the report does not show is that the community
never did get as complete benefits from the project as were
due. The result is that other, and greater funds will have to
be sought in order to meet the need which should have been
met in the first instance.
WE REALIZE that considerable funds have been ex-
pended in these Islands, but somewhere between the original
appropriation and the completed purpose these Islands take
a loss. The unfortunate aspect is that work once done has to
be done over again, and in the second or third efforts to meet
the needs, petitions for further funds must be made.
1T SEEMS to lis that if ORIGINAL plans for projects here
were made on a comprehensive basis, and carried out, then
once and for all many of these problems would be solved.
Water is among our greatest needs, and everything should

Political Spending Probe

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Oct. 49,
Maryland's secretary of state has
