In Montgomery, Police Chief
Orme declared it is absolutely
impossible for organized gambling
to be conducted for any length of
time without the police getting
knowledge of it," If the gambling
continues, he said. it's time to look
for the implications. A similar
view has been expressed by mem.
berS Of the United States Senate
Constant Surveillance.
Chief Orme and one of his off,
GERS, 1t. Carroll Miller, declared
the way to fight gaming is to keer
constant surveillance of suspect:
and suspicious establishments
They said the enforcement burden
is eased when the courts slap jai
sentences on convicted defen-
dantS.
The Prince Georges resentment
Iof references to it's gaming situa.
ton is reflected in several grand
jury reports. Here is an excerpt
from one filed in April, l949:
THE reported facts upon which
has been based unfavorable news
paper publicity in recent months
with respect to the alleged gam
bllng) conditions have been exag
gerated and the publicity has been
unwarranted. Conditions in the
county at the present time, anc
for at least the past several years
are and have been no reason fol
undue concern by citizens of the
county.
Much of such publicity ha:
been based solely on the unwar.
ranted and idle statements of ir-
responsible publicity seekers anc
has no foundation whatever ir
Police Misconduct Improved.
Reports of possible improper
conduct of law enforcement au.
thoritieS have not been substan.
tiated by any evidence the granc
jury has been able to obtain, anc
at least one specific charge of Ger.
tain police officials setting the
stage for a fictitious raid of ar
alleged gambling establishment
has been definitely established tt
be untrue.
"The grand jury is not so naive
as to believe that violations of thu
gambling laws are not occurring
Such violations. however, are con.
fined to isolated instances o,
minor nature and involve no or.
Iganized or widespread operations
and in view of the present popula.
ton of County and its proximity
to the District of Columbia, these
violations are now at an almost
Iirreducible minimum.
! The same grand jury suggested
however. that more severe punish
ment than was imposed in the
past would be an added deterrent
to potential gambling law vio-
lators."
Conditions Declared Good.
And in April. 1850, another
grand jury said:
Notwithstanding recent unfav-
orable publicity the grand jury's
conclusion with respect to law en-
Iforcement and general conditions
in the county is that such condi-
tionS are very good. Isolated in
stances of irregularities frequently
occur throughout the Nation and
such instances cannot be taken as
an indication of general improper
conduct or inefficiency of police
and other public officers"
The grand jury in October, 1850,
which was the last one in Mr.,
Bowie's tenure. made this COM
ment:
General conditions in the
county are very satisfactory. Po-
lice and other law enforcement
officials appear to be doing excel
lent work and there has been a
marked decrease in crime in ratio
to the increase in population"
The Senate committee thought
otherwise.

Crown Prince Reported
Brinoinu Divorce Action

TEL AVN, Israel, Sept. 5 (P.-
The Jerusalem Post said today the
crown princess of Jordan has
started divorce action against her
husband, Prince Tallal, who is
scheduled to succeed to the
Hashemite throne tomorrow.
Quoting reliable diplomatic
circles" the newspaper said "it
will be recalled that in May Of
this year the Emir (TallaD in the
throes of a mental disturbance
rushed to the maternity ward OF
Amman Hospital and attempted
to stab his wife, who was then ex-
pecting a baby"
The Post carried this story last
May. saying Tallal had shot and
wounded Brig. John Baggot Glubb
Pasha. British head Of Jordan's
Arab Legion. the night before he
made the alleged attempt on his
wife.
Official Jordan and Lebanese
sources denied the report In the
Post of the shootings.

| Jordan Crown Prince
Leaves Switzerland
To Assume Throne
BY the Associated Pres.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 5.
-Emir Tallal, Crown Prince of
Jordan. left Geneva by special
plane today for Amman, where he
will ascend the throne tomorrow.
In Amman, the Jordan Parlia-
ment gave final approval of his
succession. He succeeds King Alb
ldullah, who was assassinated in
Arab-held Old Jerusalem on
July 20.
Prince Tallal was accompanied
home by his younger brother,
Prince Naif, who has been acting
regent since their fathers death.
Another member of the Hashe-
mite family. Abdul Elah. regent
of Iraq, came here to greet Tallal.
Treated for Nerves.
Before leaving Switzerland,
where he has been under treat
ment for nervous disorder,
Prince Tallal held a brief recep-
ton attended by officials Of the
United Nations.
Dressed in a dark business suit
and standing besides his brother
Prince Naif, Tallal appeared
rested and in good health as he
received the press shortly before
his departure.
Throughout his stay here the
crown prince refused to make any
statement concerning the political
situation created in Jordan by the
assassination of his father.
Whether the crown prince is
anti-British and might not carry
out the pro-British policies of
king Abdullah has been para
mount question both in Amman
and London.
Quarrel With Club Denied.
There have been persistent re-
ports - officially denied - that
Tallal quarreled with British
born Brig. John Baggot Glubb
Pasha, head of Jordan's Arab
| Legion, in May. Immediately
afterwards the prince was sent to
Lebanon hospital and later to
a Swiss sanitarium for treatment
/ for nervous disorder. The
British government finances the
well-equipped Jordon Legion.
A Swiss newspaper, Die Tat OF
Zurich, reported last month that
Tallah had been stuck into a
nerve clinic by his father for
political reasons" It said Tallal
tried to escape when he heard
news of King Abdullah's assas-
SinatiOn.

The Municipal Council of

Council Bill No. 81 on May II,

Summonses in lieu of arrest
for violations of traffic laws,
ordinances or regulations com
mitted in the presence of a

less than they r charging in the
Virgins. Agents are only human
and when we find that hotels do
NOT cooperate 1000 with us, no
one can blame us for diverting our
long business elsewhere. This
may well be a serious matter for
the Virgin hotels and I hope that
you will do all possible to get
ALL of them to cooperate 1000
for the full length Of stay.
3. In this connection also I
think it is most important that
those places which limit their com
missions to two weeks, so definite
ly state IN the agents manual SO
that we agents know about their
policies in advance of booking. All
agents have had disagreeable in
cidents along this line and we
want to avoid them.
4. | am disturbed by the ten
dency to raise prices very high in
the islands and although l do
know that labor enters in and that
food prices are very high, 1 per-
sonally hope that the hotels down
there do not kill the golden goose
and become a second Nassau in
prices-actually only a small per
centage of our population can now
afford to go to Nassau due to the
exhorbitant prices-and, I might
add, that the people who can pay
high prices are not necessarily the
best type Of people. The ones
which will be the best guest in
the Virgins are the solid Ameri-
cans who are always willing to
pay a fair price for what they get,
lSldllQS q l T
nearby and are cheaper and are
also attractive.
5. We need badly to have two
or three copies of the 1951-52
agents manual-please send us
these as quickly as possible as we
are getting calls for the islands
and we have no 1852 hotel rates
yet. Will appreciate your seeing
that we get this material as fast
as possible. We can also use a
good supply of the general Virgin
Islands folders-if they are print
ed in New York perhaps the New
York printer can frward same to
save the postage.

New York, N. Y.
Dear Miss Bilhuber:
l wish to thank you for your
very wonderful letter of October
20, 1851. | think SO much of the
things you said in it that l am
having it mimeographed and sent
to each hotel and guest house in
the Virgin Islands. Let me answer
your paragraphs in order:
You may rest assured that the
people Of St. Croix would never
tolerate the debasing of the beau
tiful wharf area. AS a matter OF
fact, the National Parks Commits
sion has recently had a group oil
officials here for the purpose OF
studying areas to be declared ma
tional shrines and among them is
the wharf area at Christiansted.
|, and each member of the Tour
ist Development Board, agrees
one-hundred percent with you in
regard to the payment of agency
commissions on full length book
ing. In fact, we are at present re-
issuing our Travel Agents Hand
book and a number of the hotels
who previously had a maximum
of two weeks commission plan
are now paying full commissions
IN total length of stay.
To the best Of our knowledge
all hotels limiting their commits
sions to two weeks or any other
period are SO designated in ou1
Handbook under the Agency
Policy. If you know of any hotels
who refuse to ray commissions in
accordance with the Agency Pc
Icy shown in the Handbook data
sheet for that hotel, l certainly
hope you will advise me.
There have been no general rate
increases by any Of our hotels ir
the Virgin Islands in spite of in
creased cost of labor and food. Ir
fact, many of them Gas you will
see in the new Handbook have
actually reduced their rates.
We are sending you immediate
ly three copies Of the Travel
Agents Handbook as we'll as g
good supply of our folders. We
are asking all hotels to send you
supplies of their individual litera-
turc.
l want to thank you again for
sending such a detailed and frank
letter. It shows the interest you
and your organization have in prc
noting the Virqin Islands and il
is only through letters Of this type
that we can give your organiza-

WRITES TO

Mr.. H. W. Goeggel
Virgin Islands Tourist
Development Board
st. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Dear Mr.. Goeggel:
am writing you about several
things which have been on my
mind for some time.
/. | trust you are doing all in
your power to further the idea of
designating the waterfront area in
Christiansted as a historic place.
AL we need is a hot dog stand
there to ruin that very charming
spot and l do hope that our gov
eminent is smart enough to rea-
lie that it is precisely this
unspoiled charm in st. CroiX
which creates the tourist business,
which in my estimation, is the
lifesaver of the island.
2. The question of agency com
missions from hotels on the is
lands troubles me as well as other
agents. AS you know, we all like
long term bookings-we have
have many who go to the islands
for several months at a time-not
just the six weeks period-yet it
is a distinct blow to us to find that
will pay on only two weeks of a
long booking. I think this is very
short sighted indeed and a very
unfair policy and unWise one for
them to persue and I hope that
you will do everything you can to
make the hotel people see the
light on this point. If they do not
offer us full cooperation-then
you will find that agents will by
pass the islands and send their
good customers elsewhere. This is
precisely what has happened in
the past to Barbados. After some
lean years all the hotels but one
down there now offers to pay for
the full length of time and they
are quick to inform you of this
new policy. In this connection, I
think that the Virgin Islands no.
tells must realize that they have
other attractive competitive is
lands not far from them where
lone stayers can have very good
accommodations and food for far

"a Territorial Federation of Labor.
estified that he had no objection
10 exemption Of supervisory per-
sonnet and fishermen.
But he said the act should bring
benefits to workers who do not
have such protection; I'D like to
see all workers able to earn liv-
ing in 40 hours"
He made the comment in reply to
aggressive questioning by Sen. Joe
Coble R-Fairbanks).
Objections
Sen. w. L. DAM Lhamon (R-
Fairbahks) objected to the bills
failure to exempt corporation exc
cutives and suggested it might be
applied, too, to the professions.
What about preachers?" he
asked. would they get time and
half after 40 hours?"
'If people paid more attention to
their sermons, it might be worth
it," Hill quipped in reply.
Kenneth Bowman, AFL organizer,
reported purse seiners asked that
they be excluded from the bill by
an amendment.
1--WE in unions consider purse
seiners as wage earners," he de-
clared, but many courts have held
that they are not. There is some
confusion about it"
Labor Commissioner Benson eX-
pressed the belief the effect of the
proposed law for labor that is or
ganized would be very inconse-
quential." He said workers for whom
its provis ions are desirable are the
unorganized.
He said it is designed "to help
those who can not help themselves.
Such legislation might prevent Ia
Dor strife"
Benson expressed the opinion
that persons involved in the catch
ing and delivering of fish for can
ming would be covered by the act.
About Aviation
Sen. Frank Barr (D-Fairbanks)
who said he feared it might create
new hardships in the aviation in
dustry, asked Benson how many IN
spectors would be needed for check
ing up under the law.
Benson said he didn't expect to
need any additional. 1.-THE law is
plain" he said, land I think en-
ployers would abide by it."
Barr commented: Il imagine
some one is trying out sociolog-
ical experiment on Alaska"
Benson explained that the bill,
which failed to pass two previous
legislatures, was based on one
drawn originally by Judge Padway,
the American Federation of Labor
legal counsel. He said former At
torney General Ralph Rivers re-
drafted it in 1947.
Benson conceded that supervis-
DRY personnel and executives would
be included under the bill as it
stands, but that it would not create
any problem.
There was no indication of when
the bill might come up for a vote
in the Senate. The hearing was
held in the second reading stage.
